Putter grip refresh time! Picked up an Evnroll gravity grip - GG1 for my ER5BV. I like the color scheme better than the original! -

Four dozen Chrome Tour and a Club Dock for the office. -
Keeping it simple here, as I'm focusing on getting to the range and on the course regularly since I haven't played since February 2023.

I'm back in the game, y'all! I picked up a Ping G430 Max 9* driver and Mizuno Pro 243 4-PW. Just a minor bag refresh so I can get back to playing regularly again! -

Thanks to an impromptu spring 'winter' over the weekend, I haven't played yet, but I scooped up a Ping G430 Max. I'm going to need all the forgiveness I can get! And I'm sniffing around a set of Mizuno Pro 243 4-PW as well. Hooray for new clubs! -
What's up MGS! Chiming in on this thread since I'm not a CO resident and don't have to worry about packing up and moving anymore since I retired from the Navy. 1. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? I've been playing since 2000, and I'm coming off of over a year off. My current index is 12, but I'm guessing it's going to be messy when I get back out there . My usual scores before my layoff ranged from 80-90. What do you love about golf? The game mirrors life and it's never the same. There's also always something to improve, which makes it a continual challenge. It's an amazing game! What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? I've been around MGS a few years and have also tested a number of items. I've also been fortunate enough to play a few rounds with MGS members. Best golf community on the interwebz if you ask me! Where are you from? What is your home course? I'm originally from Northern CA (north of Sacramento) but I moved all over during my career in the Navy. But I'm now a CO resident and I'm not going anywhere. My home course will likely be the Air Force Academy Eisenhower Courses. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best: high elevation distance and great summer weather. Worst: legit offseason cause of the snow and hail during summer. What do you do for a living? I'm a jacked cybersecurity guy How’d you pick your user name? It's a spinoff of a nickname I picked up early in my Navy career. I added the 'Mr.' to make it more regal!

Thanks! Ha, the Hawaii move fizzled out after looking at buying a house out there. Things lined up perfectly in CO and we're really happy out here! -

Bumping this one! The last couple years have been wild, including a deployment, retirement from the Navy and move from San Diego to Colorado. They also involved me taking a somewhat unintentional, year plus long break from playing. That's right - my last round was 2/9/23 and the only time I've touched my clubs is when I've moved them around. But now that I'm settled in CO and Spring appears to actually be here, I'm planning on getting back into the game that has brought me so much joy over the years. I look forward to reconnecting with those I've met or interacted with and meeting new people as well! -
I had no intention of picking up an Arccos Link, but when Arccos told me it was 50% off for Ping users I pulled the trigger. It helped that one of my closest golf friends, who is super picky about gear, spoke highly of it. I ordered it Friday and it arrived yesterday. I got it out today and it worked great! Definitely nice not having to keep my phone in my pocket and the Link is super accurate. I’m not sure if it’s worth it for full price, but it’s worth checking out if you can get it discounted or used.

I’m making the switch to graphite iron and wedge shafts! Once that’s done I’m taking a self imposed break from the club ho’ing. I’m making it public so my internet golf buddies can hold me accountable! I’m retiring from the Navy next August and I am keeping my bag as is until 8/1/23. The wife already knows, my real life golf bros know, and now the MGS community knows. I won’t let you down! -

Adidas Tour360 XT 22s in black and white/slate. Will be pulling the trigger on Recoil Proto 125 F4s and Wedge 125 F4s shortly! -
Last update for this trip. I played Klipper and had a terrible round, but the course conditions were solid. The greens were a bit slow and it was SUPER windy but overall it's worth playing if you have the means to get on base!

The wheels came completely off today. 101 (49/52) with 38 putts and 5 three putts. I managed to sabotage myself in every facet of the game. This is my first 100s round in years . Super disappointed at the moment, but I guess there’s no where to go but up.
