  1. SIM2 Titanium 3 wood in, Ping G 3 wood out TaylorMade TW Grind 56 & 60 in, Maltby TSW 52 & 58 out Scotty Cameron Phantom X 11.5 in, Bettinardi BB8W out TaylorMade TP5 in, OnCore Elixr out Yeah, so not really much
  2. High socks are the best advantage for a smaller strike zone...smart man
  3. There is an inverse relationship between focusing on swing drills and how I play on the course. Since going Gankas my irons feel so much more solid. They’re also taking the right side of the course out of play and that’s been difficult. My cut that I rely on isn’t there anymore and I’m really trying to find out how hard I want to push. Played early today and shot 84 with 4 lost balls. Balls that all went left into hazards / OB.
  4. Give me jorts dad, tucked in t shirt with some Nike Air Monarchs and a pair of Ray Ban aviators and he won’t have to argue, just stare a hole though that umpire with his arms crossed.
  5. Dead serious. I helped out with my nephews (8 years old) last fall. 3/5 coaches for opposite team had pants cleats and jerseys on the bench. It was pathetic…and it’s real. Lots of unresolved personal conflict going on there.
  6. A lot of really good points here and frankly, I tend to agree with all you guys. My only takeaway is this. If JR chose not to get vaccinated, he knows that this was an eventual consequence of his own choice. Hope you guys all have a great Sunday!
  7. You know what’s even worse than that. Little league dad-coaches who wear a uniform.
  8. I like how they changed the stock grip offerings. Enjoy it!
  9. The annual Masters ticket rejection letter...a tradition unlike any other
  10. KBS were good and there is no disputing that. Modus 120 for me were better.

    That’s a steal of a deal. Even the tightest of tight would pay for that. We had an older, ten year guy who earned the name seagull, maybe I’ve told this before but these posts remind me of him and I love to remember that cheap cheap cheap guy. He would always eat on his own and sure as the sun rising, after we went to bed he’d be in the fridge eating our leftovers. Once we caught on we started putting seagulls on his locker and the nickname stuck…switched groups during the next bid to escape it. Good news was, that name stuck. Still brings his own meals though.
  12. I've had this same experience with a set of Nike Pro Combo irons. The 9 just felt tinny and awful while the entire set was pure sauce. If what you've described is the same then I would bet it's a bad bond. Someone posted about this a year or so ago with a custom grind Vokey and it was the same thing. Send it back, no reason you should not get what you paid for.

    You'll like it, there is absolutely no way to mess this up. This is our group's summer staple. We call it 90 minute chicken when all it is, is just a really low slow long cook of dark meat. Enjoy!
  14. My brothers and their wives surprised me with a lesson package at the Brian Jacobs golf academy. I have never ever had formal lessons so the nervous / excited / anxious all inhabit my mind right now. Can't wait to schedule these and get going.

    The Leafs are paper tigers. We see and hear a ton from them in WNY and they flock to the rink when the Sabres host. While Buffalo has been abysmal this past decade, there is a small part of me that laughs hysterically as they carry on their proud tradition of missing the playoffs or dramatically exiting the first round.

    NHL

    The Leafs I was hoping they’d face Boston @B.Boston@Lacassembut I suppose they’re just going to do their thing.
  17. I have two. The Safeway is one that I love because it's Napa and I have family that lives up there on the course (Silverado). The other one is the Genesis. For me, it's the "alright, we're about ready to get this season going."
  18. It’s tough to find anywhere. The market up here is bonkers…nobody could travel so everyone hunkered down in their cottages. There’s nothing for rent during peak season and zero for sale. Strange times. Hope you have some luck!
  19. Which ones? I love FJ but I just can’t wear their shoes anymore when there are so many other options.
  20. Rental…always looking for a forever cottage.
  21. Expect to hit bad shots. Expect to make bogeys or doubles. Allow yourself to make a bad swing and then move forward. Where in WNY are you from? Rochester here.
