Usually just have two sleeves of new balls and a few balls that were taken out of play for wear or scuffs. Never was one to carry a bunch in my bag and keep a dozen or two in my truck at any given time.

Went for an eye exam today and now trying to figure out how as I get older my vision is getting better? My prescription is now half the strength it was 10 years ago when I was in my late 30’s. The downside is in addition to getting new contacts I had to get new glasses as well.

Here you go!

I like it a lot, very functional and high quality. I don’t carry anymore but it seems it would be fine for me if I did. The bag I have is the stand bag from the Vessel and TM collaboration. The only reason my wife picked it was because it has Grumpy on the side pocket. Overall seems like a solid bag that should last several years at least.

When I was in Florida in April my wife got me a Vessel bag from the shop at Disney Magnolia. Had it dining room before I played on Saturday and my wife and daughters decided I needed new headcovers so I now have new head covers from Pins and Aces. Driver is the American Flag, three wood has flamingos and five wood is the Gadsden Flag. Each of the ladies picked a cover and think they did well.

I choke down on every shot as my clubs are technically half an inch long for me. I have tried having them built half an inch short and couldn't adjust so I have stuck with having them longer for the last 20 years. With my wedges I have three different positions that I use with my hands to vary the shot.

@IndyBonzo I am playing this as my three wood at 13.5*. I generally play a deep faced 3 wood or a mini diver in that spot and have for the last several years. I have zero issue pulling this club and hitting it off the deck into say a par 5. Only got to do it once yesterday and had no issue at all. Ended up just short of the green in the middle of the run up area.

My hope of finally playing one round this year that was not in high wind and cold came true. I played in mildly cold temps with wind and rain . Actually played well and my short game saved me since the wind was just hard to read which made me come up short a lot. Ended up with a +1 73 for the day and it was just a grind that made me lean on the short game and putter. On a good note the mini driver is a keeper and hit it quite a bit off the tee including a 305 yard downwind bomb on a tight driving hole. Had I realized the wind would have hit it that hard I would have hit hybrid.

Well my hope of getting a normal round in with the driver were quashed by rain and unpredictable high winds. Still slapped it around today in +1 and the driver has done all that I asked of it. From a setup standpoint I made two changes in that I put a similar HZRDUS Blue shaft in just in the PVD finish in TX and set it at standard loft in the upright setting. Something funny is today is the first day I noticed the graphics in the back edge of the crown. Very subtle and well done but then again also the first round and range session I have had in two months with any sun in the sky.

Just got the new BRNR mini this morning on a whim. Plan to play the 13.5* as my three wood. Range session was good and will be giving it a go tomorrow on the course.

Firmly in my bag at the moment. So much so that I pulled the LE Smoke Blue that I had and put it in the Qi10 LS.

Big fan of the mini drivers and tried not buying this one but it looks so good. Funny that I hit the larger head better and more consistently off the deck than any three wood I have ever owned.

Yep, in fairness to me I was not aware that they were in the store already.

Went to Golf Galaxy this morning to grab a grip and ended up with the grip and the new TM Mini Driver. Love a deep faced fairway wood and this one is just pretty.

Good morning Spies and Happy Friday. Weekend is almost here and I may actually get to hit a golf ball in normal weather this weekend. For the first time this spring it won't be freezing with 30 mph winds. Now to just get through one more work day and relaxation can begin.
