It's like they decided to throw together the same tired cast of characters and regurgitate the same gangster type mob movie with all of the typical cliche things, and make another movie about it,
I haven't seen it and wasn't planning on it either. I'm not much of a movie guy anyway. Certainly not in the more recent years. Hollywood etal is mostly garbage IMO. But, without seeing it I can certainly picture what Gsag and others online have said about it. Exactly what I thought had I gone to see it. I actually (used to) like De NIro (Meet the Parents) - (Pesci (My Cousin Vinny) stuff like that. But De Niros especially; lunatic public rants of late have turned me off. Oh well... like they say; if you don't like them don't watch them. You're right. And I don't.

Well, since you axed us...
I could care less about any of the so called Bucket-List courses. Been there - done with that.
Like a comment above I'd be interested in so called Hidden-Gem type courses. There are way more of these types of courses that fly under the radar. And... in my own personal experience a lot of the so called bucket list courses are just over priced. Nice? Yes. Over-rated? Absolutely. So there ya go...

And on the scale of criminal activity, this pales in comparison to 90% of the corruption currently encompassing Washington, DC. I mean, if we even knew half of the illegal activity surrounding certain Senators and Congressmen, we'd need to hold emergency elections to replace upwards of 75% of Congress.

I like to reminisce about parts of my game because they are improved from long ago. For example, I remember how I was once a poor driver of the ball. I was so bad at one time that I would tee up a 2i and leave the driver the bag all day. That's no way to play this game. Then I progressed to a 2w - and I do mean an actual wooden club. Today I consider myself a decent/good all round player. No two days are alike. Some better than others. But, I play/score in a narrow band and to me that's good.
So no .. I don't want to remove from memory any part of my game past or present. My golf memories over the past 55 years are gold.

What would it take for MGS to develop or co-develop a data app?
I appreciate other peoples comments. But... why don't you develop this app Mackdaddy? You seem to have a strong opinion about it. It's certainly not something I'd be interested in sinking some dough into for many reasons among others - as there are already many that do this to one degree or another. If MGS would want to develop something like this more power to them. Why doesn't MSG start making shafts or shoes or push carts, etc, etc. I'd imagine it's already tough enough competing for eyeballs and making money off a website and golf forum site. That is unless you make a ton off advertising and sponsors. Personally I have no interest in any of these types of apps or devices.

"Adding Wei - the "biggest name in the announcement?". Have they never read or heard of Love's career? 15 PGA wins including one major - Hall of Fame, etc. 16 other non PGA professional wins. Michelle Wei - 5 LPGA wins including one major. Period! That's it.

Poor: I don't personally know anyone including me that would play a ball with chunks gouged out of it, cuts, or holes. LOL So those can be eliminated from the analysis. These type balls are beyond poor. They're junk.
Average: I generally discard a ball if it gets a serious scuff from a cart path or tree. Therefore for me.... eliminated. I'd also consider these Poor quality.
Good: I'll play these. They've been hit a few times but in very good condition. I'd call these Like New.
New: Speaks for itself.
I don't fret over granular differences as related to balls and other equipment/clubs. I do however keep my ball and clubs cleaned during a round. I don't think anybody - including a TV golfer could ever tell or suffer in their game by playing a ball that's not brand new.
Perhaps more interesting would be the weight of Brand New balls from various companies. Including DTC balls. Are golf balls restricted (USGA) one way or another (minimum-maximum) by weight? What does a single golf ball weigh? Are they all the same regardless of type? PV1 vs Pinnacle vs Snell vs Bridgestone vs Maxfli vs Mojo, etc. etc. Beats me.
Maybe Mr. Richards can offer us some information.

Not sure how this would be good for golf. Considering how NBC has already infected the golf channel. Disney/ABC/ESPN will only spread the disease.

That's good advice for a 0.6 hcpr Zipr. But, ole Shankdog is a 19 hcpr according to his info above. I'd guess many/most of his basic fundamentals need some work first. I hate to say it again but having a trained instructor take a look at his swing, grip, alignment, etc. might be the best place to start. (and not just a one and done thing) IMO - Until those basics are working reasonably well; should he start to focus on details. Shankdog it seems is a guy that needs to solve/improve the big picture. Again, just my opinion.

I’d love to see a format that brings the bottom line up front in a singular paragraph easily understood in a single reading. Obviously the supporting information and testing would follow but it’s nice to get the meat and potatoes without trying to digest a 2000 plus word meal
Well said. I don't read that many reviews top to bottom as they drag out too long for my taste. Personally I'd prefer the testers receive the equipment (scrap the silly unboxing) and after a few weeks post their photos and results. All at once. I'd also just have 3 people participate. A low, mid, and high Hcp'r.

One thing about it Tom puts enough neck on his Metal Woods and hybrids so you can adjust them on the machine
You're correct Stu. I once had a 919 driver and currently bag a 929 4w. Both fit and built/bent to my specs. The driver never did agree with me for some reason but the 4w has been a winner and in my bag for 4 years.

I always enjoy reading and looking at GS Dave's postings. Especially his photographic work. I'm not a buyer of this type product but that doesn't take away from the write-up/description at all. Certainly I could have one but I'm just too practical to let it happen. I currently carry a cardboard box in the back of my suv about the same size as the Yetti. In it I have a couple sleeves of balls, a pair of shoes and a crumpled rain/wind jacket. Maybe even an old snack bar and a dried out cigar.. and some loose change. It's not very impressive but it works! For me anyway.
Again... nice post and review Dave.

Normally not looking or in the market for new equipment but....
I'm going to consider a new/different 4i. And on that note I think I'll consider some model of SGI 4i. If they're even made. Seems many SGI irons/sets don't include a 4i instead placing a hybrid of some type in the spot. I've never been much of a Hb player as I have 4 sitting around in the garage somewhere. I may not always use a 4i; but when I do I want an easy playing one.

Never given it any thought but... how did you come upon all these fitting cart shafts and heads?
And for that matter.... what happens to a current model fitting cart (heads/shafts) when new models come out? Does the mfg. rep. come and collect them and replace with new models/shafts, etc?
Just curious I guess.

Looks to be in pretty nice shape. Cost? I have no idea. I've been offered a cache of old clubs to use in our First Tee program. I'd guess there must be 40 old bags like yours stuffed with old sets of irons (lots of blades) and drivers, etc. Many are wooden! I'm sure there are some collector items among the stash but I have no idea or even care really about that. Some of the old bags I've looked at are pretty cool - retro. Anyway... nice bag you have there.
