Haha. The greens are horrendous!  The only reason I play here is because it's cheap and 4 min from the house. I can jump out and play 9 in less than an hour. 

In Florida, poanna is a weed when found on our greens…

Played Silverado today, shot a 41/41:82 with 1 birdie(Par 4 #9) and 34 putts.

For grips I am going to throw out Lamkin and Star. I'm not a big Winn grip fan, but feel both Lamkin and Star make a truly fantastic product that often isn't appreciated enough.

Lamkin was Arnold Palmer’s brand.

Evnroll ER-6 Red made for me by Guerin Rife a few years back, say 2018.

Here’s my pic….when I went back it had BRX so I’ll stick with this one for now.

At 73 and playing since I was 8, I vote to Play!

[What's your favorite golf YouTube channel?]

I watch most all of them. Get up early and turn on You Tube, then randomly select different channels. I guess I watch James Robinson and “Playing Thru” most.

Question….why are most golf video channels Englishmen?

My lady boss says I have an addiction to thrift stores and goodwill...lol

This lonely soul was stuffed in a bin full of kids plastic yard toys. The grip was just falling apart in my hands. I saw potential. Especially at $2

So after cleaning the grooves, a little brish wheel, and some polishing, and a new grip, I have another 52⁰ to mess around with. The grooves are still pretty sharp too.

 

 

The grip is worth mor3 than you paid for the wedge. Together they look awesome.

Just wanted to make sure I didnt forget to show I have an issue with Exotics Fairway woods. 

Which one do you like the best?

[What Have You Bought Lately? (CHA - Club Ho's Anonymous)]

Let me catch up….I purchased some Pure grips as they were going out of business. Also ordered a putter grip(awesome putter grip).  I had 2 orders from 32 Degrees, getting a vest, jacket and hoodie.  I ordered a Spyder vest from Taylormade. I then took advantage of an MGS deal and got 4 dozen Snell balls. I then ordered an Edison 1.0 49* wedge to go with my 53* & 57* Edison’s. Lastly, I made an order on Temu….a pair of black golf shoes and 2 belts all for $35. The shoes were a little disappointing as th3 pic looked like removable spikes….but they weren’t. I wore them last week and shot a 43/40:83…..shoes seemed okay. Guess I’ll add them to my collection of 17 pair….

I have 2.0 Edison Enforcers… 49°,55°, and 59° have had them for over 3 months. The courting process has been long and hard. Most of the time they are still gaming me and not the other way around… But there are occasions that will give me a glimmer of hope. 

Keep at it. The flight is different but the bite is terrific.

I use it; my dogs use it. I still suffer from som old (very old) injuries in service. Yes, it helps with pain relief, sleep and relaxation.

I told my VA doctor I was taking it. She was OK with it. I have never heard it will void your VA benefits. There are alot of myths and so ask and research.

Get on Google. Research CBD in general (including the VA position), and the purity and dosages of the product you are checking out. Best to take drops on your tongue. But a buddy says gummies are good. Mickelson endorsed CBD chewing gum, I believe.

I have no qualms about it and yes it is effective.

Best, -Marv

Thanks, my next appt with the VA pain clinic I will ask.

This was a lot of fun…..thanks to Ben for his work keeping up with all of us.

[What Wedges Are You Currently Using?]

I played Cleveland Zipcores, 50/54/58 until a year ago when my wife gave me Edison 53* and 57*. So I gamed them with a Titleist T300 48* GW. Well, I finally replaced the T300 GW with an Edison 49*. The flight is lower but man, the bite is real. My Edison’s are all 1.0

Foz, you won't lose your VA benefits, it's just the VA won't pay for it. 

Thanks
