  1. Definitely need to make that happen this season. Hope all is well, Rob! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. It’s been 5-6 years since I actively started tracking the states I’ve played in. I was curious what the number was back then and when I saw it looked feasible to get them all in, started going after it. The last state will be Alaska, family in tow. It’s been a fun adventure. Of course, some times you get in some interesting situations. Most recently, I was in Arkansas and had a round planned but it turned out to be the coldest day of their winter. I decided to play anyways. There were a lot of the members in the clubhouse, watching me and wondering why in the world anyone would be playing in such weather with 25 mph gusts. I found out they were taking bets if I’d actually finish the round lol. I did. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. The putter is real. I owned a studio select and there is light milling on the face and the shaft label is correct. The head shape is correct as well. Finally, most counterfeits are circle T's, I haven't heard of any selects being counterfeited. It may happen but it's extremely rare. You are good. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. I reviewed SC when I played it back in 2015. Really liked it to the point of almost became a member. Lots of good things and a great example of what happens when guys with a lot of talent are free to design the course as they see fit. Here's my review of each hole. http://bestphillygolf.blogspot.com/?m=1' class='bbc_url' title='External link' rel='nofollow external'> http://bestphillygolf.blogspot.com/?m=1
  5. Great thread. 5 best: 1. Sun Mountain 2.5 stand bag. It makes walking so easy. 2. M2 woods. Exactly the feel, distance and ease of use I've been looking for in woods. 3. PM grind wedges. Transformed my short game, total confidence now. 4. Shaft puller. Saved a ton of money doing my own club work. 5. Recycled golf balls (literally cut my spending on balls in half, with better quality balls too) 5 worst 1. Ping G15 driver. An example of hitting it great in the simulator means nothing. 2. Altitude irons. Gave these two seasons but they just weren't the elixir for me they were for a lot of others. 3. Callaway jaws forged vintage wedges. Couldn't hit these and held onto them for too long. 4. Zepp swing analyzer. Didn't work all that well, didn't help all that much, I returned it. 5. Titleist 910h hybrid. More a story here of probably way too much club for me at the time. I had it in 20 degrees and was happy to get 150 out of it.
  6. These arrived yesterday. Just waiting for some AMT Black shafts and grips to arrive and will be putting the set together.
  7. Here's a couple from Hominy Hill. It's an RTJ design.
  8. 43/46 at a 129 slope 6500 yards. I played well, but putting was atrocious and left some strokes out there when I realized how close I was to breaking 40 on the front 9. Very nice round for me.
  9. Los Verdes is awesome. Used to go there a lot with my dad when I lived in CA. Crowded but one of the best deals in golf considering location and design.
  10. Was fortunate to get back to Pine Valley this weekend.
  11. Great stage 2 review, Shanks. Lots of info and the honesty of the it really came through. These irons look terrific and seem to be performing nicely.
  12. 49/45 today at my course. Played in our member guest yesterday and then me and my guest stayed over and played this am. Ball striking was great and most strokes lost on and around the green, including three putting on a par 3 when I stuck it to 8 feet. I took out my 3h and put in the 4i, which I put in a lighter kbs tour 90 and it's quickly become my favorite club. The misses with it are much better and so is the versatility. Might have to do the same with the 5i. I just trust the swing more and am not getting the hooks that I do with the Apex. Also, time to practice short game and putting.
  13. Penick's Little Red Book is a good one, so is Dave Stockton's Unconscious Putting. I learned a lot from Bobby Jones' book on golf and Haney's.
  14. Here's my list, solely based on where I want to play when I go there based on what I read and heard. Old Course Carnoustie Cruden Bay Muirfield Macchrahsnish Kingsbarns Prestwick Dornoch North Berwick Loch Lomond Gullane Eh, it's 11 instead...
