  1. I’m becoming less and less surprised to see many TOUR events come down to the final 9 holes every Sunday. There is so much depth and so much talent that makes it so difficult to run away and win every week.
  2. I’ll go with Tour Edge for this reason. A lot of casual golfers who are not tuned into gear would skip over Tour Edge for a bigger brand. Pound for pound it’s the best product for the money and the best value. A long time ago when I was in club sales, I’d love to toss in a Wilson Deep Red, Nicklaus air max and a Cleveland launcher to the R580 and 975J test just to see a reaction. Our shop sold more of the former than the top names combined that summer. Moral of the story…there’s a lot of great product hidden in plain sight.
  3. I’m with @Jim Shaw whose “time & place” comment nailed it. Music is awesome and so is golf. Respect the course, don’t be a nuisance but please for the love, have fun out there. Life is too short.
  4. Would it be a bad time to ask some people here if they believe music should be allowed on a golf course?…
  5. Same! Some people know how to effect change and Jamie has attracted a group of Mods that make this forum excel. Really happy to celebrate your great work
  6. Standalone one brand I would have a tough choice between Titleist and PING. The G430 10K v the LST and those Blueprint S irons I could flip a coin and end up happy regardless.
  7. On paper, your logic is correct that you’d encourage the draw bias by going one degree upright. This leads me to believe there is something else causing your draw tendency. It could be something as simple as your right hand grip being too strong. It could also be your upper body rotating too quickly during the downswing. Without seeing a video of your swing it’s difficult to tell. Do you have an instructor you work with?
  8. Good choices…and one thing you may realize as others have along the way, is that they blend REALLY well. Titleist engineered this lineup quite well.
  9. This beauty. TSi3 with a Speeder NX Blue.
  10. This beauty. I’ve switched from the standard size with 3 wraps to the Midsize and I am incredibly happy. I like to play without a glove as long as it’s not too humid and these give me incredible feel, tack and are really durable. https://www.lamkingrips.com/shop/sonar-black/
  11. This one stumps me. I don’t follow the NFC north as astutely as many of you but as a casual NFC fan, I see a guy with some real talent who’s a product of a franchise that cannot develop quarterbacks. Seems like a very low-risk option for several teams unless the asking price is too high…
  12. I’ll second the terrible attention to detail at Mizuno. When I ordered the exact same set over two years ago, mine arrived all out of spec. 9 iron was 3* flat, all others were 1-2* off of lie angle. It was embarrassing. When I emailed Mizuno they told me to contact the retailer rather than take ownership of the issue. I’m glad you have a local trusted local “guy” to assist with these issues. Now that they’re fixed, go have some fun!!!
