I really hope weather continues on this trend as its been mid 40s and just a little wet. If it keeps up like this I will have full swing golf season for next week! Watch out all I am coming for a top 5 finish this season!

What was the reason for the move? It's out of sight now, and the space where it was located is now blank. Also, while the list is at the bottom of the home page, the date of last activity and number of posts is missing. When wishing someone a Happy Birthday, it's nice to know who is active and whether they have been a contributor.

I was asked to clean up the side bars as there will be updated features going there in the near future. I wanted to keep it somewhere rather than remove it entirely and that was the best place for it.

Raheem Morris:

4-7 as the Falcons interim head coach.

17-31 as Tampa Bay head coach.

21-38 as a career head coach.

But the players that played for him like and support him and he has two Super Bowl rings. So maybe, hopefully, he is the right guy at the right time.

I don't know what the answer is for the Falcons (as a big fan of the franchise). Was Bill the best long term answer? Likely not with his age, however he would have brought a prestige to the team which is undeniable. Would he have stayed on after coaching to do GM or other front office duties? Guess we will never know.

If Morris can get an excellent OC and get their last few seasons of draft picks involved and playing closer to their potential then we have a starting point. If a longer term solution can be found at QB then we are even better off. It is going to be a process, but I think any and all rebuilds are. Been a fan for a while and no point jumping ship after being through enough lows already. Just makes the highs and successes that much better.

Just the outing in May which every day I am getting more and more excited for.

Nice write-up so far Tony.

So what you have right now has no sim options? Correct?

Subdiver1 · January 27

Long game fittings are fantastic and I am sure may even surprise you to see some surprising results... hopefully for the better!

Wasn't sure where to post this but here is a question for any legal beagals concerning these tours, prior to any merger. Some background. I can recall years ago when the PGATour and old European Tour were basically at each others throats to get the top players in their tournaments ( i.e. appearance fees sponsor exemptions). As I am watching the Farmers, I am thinking what if anything the PGATour could do if any sponsor really wanted a "big name" LIV player to be in their sponsored tournament to boost on site and possible tv viewership. Even if the player was so called "suspended", could the PGATour really do anything to stop the exemption especially since there is a seemingly exodus of sponsors from events as to money issues.

Moved your post here as all LIV related discussion goes here.

Really wanted to get at least one more round out on the course before I finished up my review but with the snow and extreme cold I didn’t see when that chance was going to come. It was 9 degrees when I went to work Monday but was supposed to warm up but rain this week. I waited the rain out and Friday was a beautiful day out on the course. Ended up being 69 degrees by the end of the round.

I had planned on walking 9 holes and if there wasn’t anyone behind me, I was going to take approach shots, and tee shots on par 3’s with both the Caley 01 irons and Ping g430 irons. Golf pro ended up telling me to walk the back because it wasn’t nearly as wet as the front. There was no one else on the back at all so I hit multiple shots with both sets of irons on almost every hole.

i ended up hitting both sets really well when I had a good swing. Misses were still to the right or topped. Both due to poor swings. Both sets are very forgiving on miss hits. Both sets are much more forgiving than my TaylorMade Rac OS irons. Today I had the distances dialed in a little better with the Caley irons. The Pings are a little stronger lofted.

It was pre impressive how well I hit the Caley irons similar to the Ping irons. The Caley irons cost 1/2 the price and seem to perform just as well. By the time I got around to playing the front 9, I was completely worn out and hit both sets poorly and topped a lot of shots with poor swings.

The two par 3’s on the back I hit the greens with all 4 t shots I took with the Caley irons. Pretty impressive for me.

Thanks for the update!

Love the ferrules on the PINGs!

Adidas and Sketchers are both great. Allbirds would be another consideration.

Doesn't it do that with any bag though? Or do you rotate them around in a 5 way.

I actually can't think of the last time I used a 3 or 5 way bag on a driving cart? I believe I put it in sideways so I didn't need to change anything.

There is no right way to set up a 14-way divided bag BUT if you set it up in a manner you find logical you will...

A. Find your desired club much faster.

B. Know much sooner if you forgot a club on the last green.

C. Reduce the uncertainty period you likely exposition during club selection.

In my Sub Mountain C130, I go ""Z" pattern starting with driver on top left then four to seven iron in row two from the right onto eight to approach wedge right to left in row three with my 52, 56 and 60 left to right in row four with the putter in the provided well.

Whatever setup you pick is fine but it will make the three points I made above happen for you as well.

I'm going to jokingly disagree and say my way is the best way

My biggest annoyance with 14 way bags is that the orientation changes if you are driving a cart or using a push cart.

Just tried out the speed training app. I don't have a speed training device so just chose the "other" option and swing the driver as best I could.

First swing read 10 mph higher than anything I've ever put up. Next couple were on the high side average. Then a couple that read 0mph before I quit testing my luck.

Not the best set of controls but my initial test is that it needs a bit of dialing in. Still, when there is no ball to worry about, swinging for the fences really alerts you to what your body is capable of.

Now it's time for some ice.

Love this device. Can't wait to get it back outside when the season changes.

I'm guessing much like when the device first came out there will be servesl patches and updates to help dial it in.

They look like the Lazar wedges. Buddy had them, nice out of the box... Will leave it at that.

This is great, Jamie. I might have missed it, but where did you get the golf grip adapter? I used an air compressor with the pointed nozzle, and that worked fine, but the adapter looks as thought it would be a little easier to handle the grip.

Also, I used tape and solvent as well because I never tried regripping without them. Next month I'm planning to regrip my driver and hybrids, so I can't to try your method.

You can get it through Star Grips. The guy is actually based in Sweden so close to us!

Given that, I would have to choose between, St. Andrews because of the history, Augusta because it the course of the Masters and I would say Cabot Cliffs in Nova Scotia. A true links course on the North Atlantic.

My wife is from the Cabot area but unfortunately we moved to Europe before COVID and never got a chance to play.

Great choices!!!

I know I have mentioned this before, but over the coming weeks we are going to see several more articles come out from our forum staff and we would appreciate everyone to check the main site and drop us a comment! It goes a lot way, sharing is even better as we hope you like a lot of these new articles from the forum staff!

So if we take money out of the equation and you are gifted a free round anywhere, where is that course going to be?

Nice job @GolfSpy_APH !

Regripping is so simple and one of the easiest things you can do yourself.

Love the fact that with air you can reuse the grips. For some reason I still haven't switched over and use solvent/double stick tape. It can be messy and stinky.

I've seen people use air inflators for tires that have specific pressure gauges in case you don't want to buy a compressor.

Thanks!

I love this method, but something about solvent and such is still great. I have found the odd time a grip will twist however its not often and usually only if its super hot out and I didn't use any tape at all.

Another how to is posted!

As always we love to hear your comments!

Have you tried it? Is this your next go to method?

Not a bug or site issue, just a change to the block placements.

IF and when anyone tries the speed training be sure to post about it! I am very curious and looking to get to doing a bit of that when I finish up this work trip. Being able to record swings and see the differences when trying to ramp up speed I think will be really cool!

Hey Spies!

I am working on a refurb of some vintage Hagen/Haig irons, which I got from Goodwill in very good shape. The ferrules, however, are beyond saving. These clubs are drilled all the way through the hosel, and have the rubber cap at the end (like some older Big Bertha drivers and irons). I have no experience with that kind of head removal and reshafting, so I removed the ferrules and plan to use the Golfworks two-piece / split ferrules as replacements. (Full disclosure: I started heating one to remove the head, and the thing would not budge. It's on very tightly, which overall is a good thing, but it led me down this alternate ferrule path.)

Some of the reviews on the split ferrules were not so great.

If you have used them, will you let me know how it went from an installation and endurance perspective?

Any tips on installation?

FWIW, I plan to be somewhat more generous with the epoxy than normal to try to ensure they stay on the club in the right place.

Thank you in advance!

I can't save I have ever seen two piece ferrules and now I am curious so will go searching... not because I want them, but because I am curious as to what functional purpose they serve vs a one piece.

You will likely need to "fuse" them together after both sides are epoxied with acetone. Otherwise I don't recommend them.

epoxied with acetone? Please explain further!
