I have 9 balls in the bag. Usually find another 2 or 3 every round during mens league night without even trying. Typically pass the found ones on to my sons bag.

Good Mormon Spies! Well the rain has moved in and it looks like thunderstorms this afternoon. Guess that means I'll be working instead of playing golf. Today is supposed to be the opening day of our mens league, I doubt that is gonna happen though but I'll wait for the official email stating today is canceled before I get too bummed. Ha. No matter what have an awesome day out there!

Was able to get about an hour in at the range today. Sole focus was on ball position, variety of clubs, mostly irons. Have been simply pulling the pull, dead straight pull. Sure enough ball was getting too far forward. Made sure I intentionally put the ball in the middle/back of stance. Ball direction more consistently heading in the proper direction. Was a good session.

Good Tuesday morning Spies! Today I have just about enough time to squeeze in a short range session before work needs to happen. I seem to have a dead pull going on with the irons so I gotta figure that out. I think it's ball position related but, need to confirm that. Then the weather here in Michigan gets a little (lot) wet the next couple days. Get to the course while you can right! Haha. May you all have a great day!

Definitely had a blast and look forward to the next one. Clearly not good at picking scores, but I did go with Scottie, and picked Shipley as my ametuer so that is cool! Congrats to the winners!

Good morning MGS! The Masters was great to watch and I'm happy Scottie won it. No golf today for me. I recently joined the local country club and played my first round as a member there yesterday. Walked the round, and scored about as I expected. Looking forward to this season. My youngest might be more excited than me to be a member there. I think he spent 3 hours on the range Saturday alone. I can't wait to see how many rounds we get to play together this season. May you all have a wonderful Monday today!

It's been fun and interesting to watch the scores change from one 9 to the next and from day one to day two. That said, my team went from 13-under this morning to even at the end of the day. I guess that's golf for ya...

That's interesting that the 4-wheel is sagging. My 3-wheel cart is still mostly functional, the issue I have is the velcro doesn't hold the bag in place anymore like it used to. Was hoping newer models with different style straps would be better... outside of the sagging wheels do you prefer the 4-wheeler over your previous 3 wheeler?

Good morning Spies! If you don't have the Masters on one monitor while 'working' using your second monitor... well, you should be. Haha. That's what Im doing today. The less than great weather today will keep me from getting to the course, but the weekend is looking good for it! Have a fantastic day everyone!!

Been considering replacing my 3-wheel bag boy push cart. I think it is maybe 10-12 years old or more, I've had it what seem like forever... I spent a few minutes perusing 4-wheel carts, not sure if I want to go that route but, maybe. The biggest challenge with my current push cart is that it has velcro straps that are pretty much worn out and don't hold all that great... Those of you with 4-wheel carts - Yay or Nay? Anyone go from a 3-wheel to a 4-wheel cart? Opinions? I did read the MGS article review, but am curious what actual users have experienced.

Good morning MGS. A dreary day here in the middle of the mitten state. Chilly, windy and rainy but that's ok - was able to play golf the last 2 days. While there isn't any golf on the docket today, there is plenty of work meetings, and a bunch of heads down paperwork today... may you all have a fantastic day!

After the first few sessions I did move the loft/lie but the difference/change was minimal. The weight difference (65g vs 75g) is noticeable to me. A part of me wonders if the lack of weight is enough to cause my swing to be more OTT causing the slice swing path.

Ahwile back I posted that I had picked up a Ventus TR Black 6X shaft to try in my TSR3. I had read somewhere that a lighter shaft could increase club head speed. Figured why not, I'll give it a shot. Sure enough 6X shaft avg's a few MPH more than my Ventus TR Black 7X. (All measurments with the PRGR.) Awesome, or so I thought... First few range sessions with the 6X, ball is slicing left - and not by a little, Im talking 40 yard banana slice. Try as I might to hit that shaft/head combo where Im aiming, wasn't happening. So, I decided the last couple range sessions to bring the 7X along. Previously I left the 7X home so as to not be tempted during the transition phase. Sure enough, start with the 6X, ball going left. 5 consecutive swings. Put the 7X on, takes about 3 swings then ball flight is as expected, little fade but can turn it over if I try to. Back to the 6X, all left. Swap the 7X in again, ball going at target. Rinse/repeat for a few sessions. So, today was a pre-league season scramble (warm-up) event. Couldn't bring myself to even try the 6X shaft. Drove the ball the way I normally do/expect to do all day. Anyone else have similar experience trying to go to a lighter (or maybe even heavier) shaft? Just curious. TBH I was really surprised by the drastic difference. I was not expecting that much of a difference. <shrug>

Welcome Tim and Rob to MGS! It is a great forum with tons of wonderful information. A whole bunch of camaraderie on here as well. Hang out, peruse, and jump in on any of the threads you like. You can kill a lot of time on here - and that isn't a bad thing!!

Interested to see your pics from this. I have been using the C130 bag forever and never noticed this rub. My rounds are 50/50 riding/walking. When i walk i use a bag boy push cart that ive had forever. I dont see any shaft rub marks but I do swap clubs perhaps more than most. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this now. Ha.

I've always been a TT DG S400 player and they are the go to whenever I try anything new. That said, last season I tried the AMT tour white X100. Got them early in the season and am going to stick with them this season. Not sure they're better than the S400 but the difference might be negligible.

Thanks!

It's afternoon now but hello fellow Spies! Today is my wife and my 22nd wedding anniversary! No golf today for us, too much going on with the family. We did get to celebrate yesterday with a day date. Good food, some axe throwing fun, and an entire day with the woman of my dreams! May you all be blessed today!

Welcome to MGS Michael! You'll find this is an awesome group with a bunch of fantastic people! - Brian

Ladder drill putting practice for me. Hoping to out to the course this week!

Cut: +2 Low am: Shipley First event here for me, think I followed all the rules correctly... looking forward to seeing how it goes! Spring is here - Yay!

I prefer the GP Z-grip+2 grips with 1 additional wrap on the lower hand. Play them on all full swing clubs. Used to be MCC+4 but the lower hand was never quite right with them.

Good morning Spies! My schedule has been all sorts of crazy lately. Another busy week ahead of me, but the weather guy says the temps might hit near 70 tomorrow, which is crazy for Michigan this time of year. Then snow on Thursday, go figure. Haha. A few more weeks and the courses might actually start opening regularly. May you all have an awesome day today!

Welcome @ThumbGolfer always good to see another Michigander here in the forum! Lots to read/learn/do here on MGS. Have fun, welcome to the game, and congrats on working toward your degree!

Was able to make time this morning to get out the SuperSpeed set and get a session in. First full swing training session in a long time. Was a good session. Tried not to hurt myself, will see how the body feels tomorrow morning. HA.
