I don't mark mine at all. So seldom do I run across folks and we have the exact same. If it does happen, I just switch. The other easy tell for me is mine will always have a spot of mud on it.

It's been awhile. Between being under the weather and that the weather itself really sucked too boot. Anyway, our 1st league was rained out yesterday so I snuck out between chores today and played 9. 65, partly sunny but wind gusts from the north, northeast at 30. Needed sleeves initially. Down, up and down day. 1st hole directly into the wind, carry over a river, with pond on west side of green. Double bogie. Oh well. I managed the wind better over the next 7 holes, 5 pars and 2 birdies. Things looking pretty good, then the last hole. Straight down wind, ponds and trees on the right side until the dogleg right, then 2 more small ponds on the right. Easy dummy. Just stay left hug the outside of the dleg. Double bogie. Oh well. I did have one of those moments where no matter what else shots. This one shot made the round memorable. I had a nice drive into the wind. Kept it low so it ran a little. I was 156 from the hole and directly into the wind. Used my 4H instead of 5 iron because of that. It took off like one of those low roostertails slowly rising against the wind and then just floating over the green when it dropped and trickled to 10 feet from the pin. Straight, perfect looking shot. Just one of those dream shots. That made my day. The following hole d bogie didn't matter at all.

My wife and I will celebrate our 47th years of marriage in November.  During this time we have been bless with having four wonderful miniature Dachshunds' in our lives.  Dylan (7), Zach (4), Scarlett (14.5), and Katie (17.5). Funny, stubborn and very loving little furballs.  We found that the little girls seem to be more to our liking and a bit more lovable.  Of the four the first three had trouble with their backs.  Our last we had to let go last winter due to blindness, loss of hearing and dementia.  At her age she was becoming aggressive and quality of life was a real issue with her.  She was my best friend.  All of them are still with us in urns on our bookshelves.  When our ashes are spread they will go with us.   This is Ms. Katie on her 12th BD and when she was 1 (below).  RIP our little angels.  Dylan and Zack with black/tan.  Scarlett brown/tan.  Katie, fawn.  

I'm sure there was too much torque applied to that shaft.  It looks like someone grabbed the adapter with pliers, probably in an attempt to remove it, and I'm willing to bet that before they tried twisting with pliers they tried twisting it by hand while holding the grip of the shaft. 
Graphite shafts simply can't take that much torque on them which is why you need to use a shaft puller when pulling graphite but can just grab the head and twist when removing a steel shaft (after heating of course).
Did you do this yourself or did a shop do it?  If you took this into a shop I'd be asking for a new shaft and new adapter.  

I hit the putting green in the spare room for about 20 minutes tonight. Just trying to keep my focus and tempo in tact. Used the mirror to maintain strike alignment and path. About 50 balls total.  

Got to sneak in 9 holes at Diamond Ridge on Saturday: figured Sunday was an absolute no go with Mother's Day, and I was right! I was presented my honey do list prior to my Saturday round, so definitely wanted to get in a round. So I went in with the dawn patrol at Diamond Ridge, and it was, unlike the rest of the week, a very nice, albeit humid morning. 
Played the back 9, which starts with a water hole. 

It's one of those holes where I want to tee off with a "found" ball as I have a propensity to find the pond about 25% of the time. Not Saturday morning! Plopped it right up on the green, but alas, 3 putted the thing. Still getting used to the DF3, this was my first "official" round with it. Overall, VERY happy with the round as it was a new PB for me, so no complaints overall! Save a few errant iron shots I can't complain: things seem to be slowly, but surely, coming together.

Was able to get to the putting green afterwards to work with the Black Mamba: it is a different feel from the TM Spider for sure. Will the DF3 replace the Spider in the bag? That remains to be seen, but from that first round with it, it feels "right." I understand now the "thumbless" approach with L.A.B.: light pressure and let the club do the work! As I compile more numbers with the DF3 I will share them in the L.A.B. DF3 thread. 

I hope that golf figures into your plans for today! Hit 'em straight MGS Nation! 🏌🏼   ⛳

Personal best and milestone. Broke 90

Played all 3 original courses at Sand Valley, 53 Holes, on Friday. Shot 82 on Sand Valley, then 6 over on the 17 hole short course, then shot 80 on Mammoth Dunes. The best part of the whole day was on our way back to the lodge after dinner in the clubhouse, the Northern Lights were in full effect.
 

That's awesome Randy! Congratulations on breaking 90. 

Mondays round was less than stellar, 42/46:88 with 1 Birdie(#1 Par 4) as we started on the back today, the birdie was my 10th hole.
FIR 10/14 71% GIR 5/18 39% with 36 putts
Longest drive was 240 on Par 5 #7
Weather was hot 73* - 90*

Wtg! @Vegan_Golfer_PNW !!!  Welcome to the under 90 club!
 
Today was a great day for golf.  Not so much the score total,  but the company.   Played a 9 hole scramble round with my son before he leaves thursday to move to TN and begin the next chapter of his young adult life.
Was strictly a Stix club day too. (Will post in the Stix topic with video)
F- 6, G- 5, P- 19.  Round total was 44.

Played a few practice rounds.  First round I wanted to keep score.  Played nine and 12 over   Lost ball four times.   My tee game was awful. But my short game was pretty good 
playing tight treelike course didn’t help. 
 

If there was anything to be encouraged about in league last night, it is that I don't feel like I could play any worse than I did yet walked away having played bogey golf. 
It started very poorly....
Hole 1 - flare 7w into the trees. First punch shot hits tree, nestles against the trunk of another tree. Hack at that one to just try to move the ball somewhere towards the fairway, but doesn't make it. 4th shot was a decent punch that rolls to 20 yards short of the front of the green, walk off with a double.
Hole 2 - only solid drive of the night, almost ends up in pond, but stops on the bank, leaving an awkward stance with uphill/sidehill lie with ball way above my feet. I ended up pushing that one right into a green-side bunker (over-corrected on the effect of the lie, but with a pond left of the green, I'm mostly OK with that). I got all ball out of the bunker and launch it over the green and into the pond. Walk off with a triple.
+5 after 2 holes? Could be a long night. Fortunately, the rest of the evening got a little better, but I was +4 on the remaining 7 holes. Other than the second hole, driver was terrible all night so there was a lot of scrambling. I really thought I had figured something out when I played Friday. Apparently not. Maybe I need to start thinking less and just swing the damn club.

Last several rounds continue to build upon my earlier successes. Had a couple of low-mid 80s last week with some terrible luck (seemed like everything that missed the fairway went behind a tree!). Rebounded Monday for a 38 on the back, a +3 75 yesterday despite a pretty shaky front, and a 39 this morning on the back. Putting and chipping were great yesterday, not so much today as it caused two of the three bogies. 
Having a lot of fun out there right now. Excited for the summer to start.

Different round than yesterday. I should have warmed up before teeing off. Shot a 2 over and if I could have putted like I did today with yesterday's ball striking, I would have broke 70. The game is coming along. 
11/14FW with one OB
9/18 GIR 
28 Putts
3 Birdies, 3 Bogies and 1 double

Was able to squeeze in a 9 hole walking round. Shot a 7 over 43. I have a lingering rib injury from 10 days ago that is still very uncomfortable and made it hard to swing very smoothly. My driver was shorter than usual and I had a heavy miss to the right, but I was never in a terrible spot for the approach shots. My approach shots were horrible. Since my approach play was so poor, I had a lot of greenside chips (once I was able to get close to the green 😆) and those went very well. Many got within three 3' and a couple of others I hit my spot, it just wasn't the right spot. The chipping practice has been paying off!
It was also the first round outdoors with the LAB DF3! It didn't get a chance to show off because my chipping was good, but long putts went well and I gave it two thumbs up for the initial 9 hole round!

FW hit: 1/7 = 14%
GIR: 1/9 = 11%
Putts: 15
3-putts: 1
