The golf course pictures were better than any birthday card. I’m hoping to shoot my age soon if I just play nine holes.

You can't go wrong with Sunderland @ https://www.glenmuir.com/sunderland

This isn't uncommon, especially with older irons. They aren't tapped per se, the manufacturer just had grooves cut on the inside of the hosel to give the epoxy something extra to grip on. Breaking the epoxy can be a little difficult with older clubs, so you may want to invest in a shaft puller from GolfWorks to make things easier. A shaft puller is invaluable if you're pulling graphite shafts, too. You don't want to overheat the hosel and risk damaging the graphite. https://www.golfworks.com/value-shaft-extractor/p/gw1112/ Best of luck!!!

I use ArmorAll Butter Smooth Wax. I'm almost out and I think that they stopped making this product. I'm glad to hear that there are alternate products.

I hope that your recovery goes well. I know that it can be tiresome having to wear a boot for any length of time. For those of us who end up with foot issues just as we hit the wonder years (i.e., retirement), good orthotics can be a godsend. I've added these carbon fiber inserts to the mix with really good results. They stiffen whatever shoe you're wearing and help reduce the stress on your foot joints. I've used them over the past 10-15 years and they were well worth the investment -- about the price of a new wedge. Perhaps they would make for a good product to test by MyGolfSpy members. https://rtpfast.com/
