Yeah I hear it being crazy!!! I went from playing once a week to maybe once a month. About to go to Cali for 3 weeks for work. I am down for something in Sept.
-
I have actually been getting out every week for the last month... FINALLY!!
I still stand on my first takes from the range and course play, love the low ball flight but not a fan of the length. I am really thinking about changing the shaft but I will be changing the grip, needs to be larger for my liking. The only frustrating part is I really don't have many course that force me to play a 3 iron very much. I have been in some trouble and had to use it to stay down or punch it out and get some roll out of it. One hole I always use it off the tee and one it depends on the wind for the day, its ether 3 wood or the UiHi.
My hybrid is loads easier to hit, but just not a fan of the ball flight. On a clear day with no wind I would probably pick the hybrid over the UiHi cause I wouldn't be worried about the wind effecting my distance. Windy day I am going to loose it anyhow so the UiHi is coming to play.
I will update y'all with pictures when I get the new shaft in and let you know if I see any changes worth noting.

Got my round in, boy oh boy was Saturday crazy. Drove an hour and half to go play with a buddy. Was almost 10* cooler up there. Rained sideways for about 10 mins, we sat through that one, then God open the clouds on 16 with big cool rain, hail rushed through the last two holes and then ended up being better holes for me. SMH maybe I need to stop over thinking my shots.

Back in the MIX!! I know I was one of the only UiHi reviews that gave a positive review. Just got out finally (freaking work) and used it three time in my 9 hole league. Needless to say I lost yesterday seeing it was my first time out LOL. Anyways, that is a different subject. I was able to hit a low stinger into the wind on the first hole off the deck that put me in a good place to chip on. The next time I used it was on hole 4 off the tee felt ok, was a little off the toe but left me in a playable spot. I then used it again off the next tee and put it in the woods lol. I am still struggling to find the middle of the club so I don't blame the club for this.
Now when I got home and pulled up the stats I was really shocked about the distance. IT WAS SHORT average of 203 yesterday and my 4i average is 210. So it for now is still in the bag I love love love the low trajectory just need to hit it better.

I’ve tried one. It definitely adds zip to worn wedges, but I underestimated how laborious the process was and wouldn’t recommend the purchase.
I agree that I too underestimated the amount of elbow geese this needed, lol. But it did help with extending the life of my wedges.

this is exciting!!

The old Eisenhower course is about to open back up again. I am blessed enough that my buddy got a tee time for the week after it opens and invited me along. That wouldn't be a horrible place to go in is sorta central MD. Have we ever done like a MGS scramble to keep it light?

Hey!! Sorry for butchering your username. Its been a while. I corrected the post.
Would love to get another outing together.
i have a thought on it, ill post it in the local thread.
LOL no worries, that is what happens when you disappear for almost a year. Really cool to come back and see that everyone is still chill and just loving Golf. There are a few more knuckleheads then before but not like other places. I still feel safe to ask stupid question LOL

@g_humphrey welcome to the test tread! This is/was a huge test a good number of us have submitted our reviews and are waiting on a break in the weather to do some updating.
-
I’m not opposed to playing and not being able to win. I need to call my local club and talk to them about getting a GHIN setup.

I looked and I don't qualify for any of them. I don't hold an active GHIN. Something i need to do anyhow this year.
-
I don't see an issue with it because they already have the information in their books. We arent going to see every pro out there shooting a laser at the flag before every shot, it will be on mishits IMO. I don't see it helping or hurting "pace of play"

Music, Face time, and calls on speaker phone in public..
I hate to throw stereotypes but unfortunately I think it's just becoming a part of the new phase of generation. There's Gen-X, Gen-Z, and today's Gen-IDGAF or Gen-"everybody look at me". I'm not pointing fingers at a specific age group so much as group of people who have adopted these practices. Must be something about not getting enough attention in one form or another?
I'm a music lover to the core. I can't go a day without music. When I go grocery shopping, I wear my earbuds and just get lost in my tunes for 30 min while I fill my cart and check off the grocery list.. it's therapeutic. I don't listen to music for anybody but myself. I find today's generation doing weird and borderline ridiculous things only for the purpose of holding other's time and attention hostage.
Just last week I was shopping and a lady was next to me talking on speaker phone to someone else. It was a completely personal conversation that had absolutely nothing to do with the groceries she was buying. It definitely didn't have anything to do with me, yet I was forced to have to listen to the whole thing while I was looking for the bread my kid likes. All the while, she was still holding the phone up to her head with her hand so it's not like it was out of convenience to relieve a hand to do her shopping. Really the only difference between that and a regular phone call was the speaker up at full volume. Very good chance it was the dumbest thing going on in the store at that moment.
Oh I completely agree with this!! I would even venture to say that the afore mentioned group are also the group that give us play by play of their day on Social Media. It all scream narcissistic behavior.

I think the only argument you can really make about a lack of transparency concerning the tour is their continued unwillingness to announce the reasons behind player suspensions...DJ in 2012 (?) for example. But that's on the tour, not the media, and I don't think you can reasonably argue that media coverage of golf is any more/less transparent than any other sport.
I guarantee Tom Brady's contract, Gronk's, etc., have playoff and Super Bowl incentives that they triggered last night. I also never heard a word of it from Jim Nantz...if I care that I much I can get on my Google machine and try to sort it out, but it certainly doesn't interest the casual fan and doesn't impact the entertainment of the broadcast.
I'm a public servant and paid by the taxpayer, and for that reason anybody can get on the web and (knowing my rank and zip code) figure out what I make, to the dime. And that's fair and entirely appropriate. But outside of taxpayer funded salaries, I tend to agree that what someone else makes is probably somewhere between none of my business and not relevant to the entertainment value.
This is where I was going to go but with baseball. They talk about the contracts they sign but that is about it. You don't hear anyone saying oh "insert pitcher here" just got rocked and pulled by the 1 2/3 inning that is going to effect his paycheck. Or as @Getoffmylawn mentioned we all know that baseball players get bonus and contractual money for playoff and world series/super bowl wins but we don't know how much. IMO like @BadgerGolfer said I don't think its any of my business. I am just here to watch people plays sports in a way I only dream about doing it.

Southern Maryland got snow last Sunday and again yesterday. In good old county fashion we had a 2 hour delay on Monday and Tuesday of last week, but we get more snow yesterday and nothing LOL. Forecast is calling for more snow this weekend. Was really cool though I haven't seen snow flakes that big since I was a kid.

The thing I don't get with this stuff is it isn't just the young crowd. I see people my age "generation" lets just say the 80s doing this stuff too. I always kinda give them that look. I know your mom raised you better than this. The stuff people do in public now was not acceptable behavior when I was coming up.
As for the Cars, sorry but that is a tale as old as time. Got to show off those wheels for the ladies. I will admit though as I get older I find it annoying LOL.
