00sportsman got a reaction from Jeffthechef23 in Worst equipment mistakes you've made
Taylormade burner irons. Hated them from the moment I got them. Didn't like the feel, the appearance at address, the grips or the shafts. Bought them cheap as part of a whole bag (a few clubs of which I'm still playing) but free would have been too much to pay.
Did I mention I hated them?

If I do everything right handed except swing clubs, bats and sticks, do I still get to join the left handed thread?

I'll second this. When I'm sick of spending money on "good" balls, it's Wilson Zip at $20 for two dozen at Walmart. They're surprisingly good for what they are.

Or the Wilson Ultras at target where 15 balls are about $10.

Just a little clarification:
1) I'd have to have a soul in order for it to be neglected, so I'm not really that. I do appreciate the sympathy, though.
2) It's not the zippers, it's the buttons and snaps that'll get you. (Also, the constant ink smear on your left hand from using a pen and trying to find a pair of scissors that will work for you.)
3) I already have the Ping Forged Cavity Blade Driver, but it's not lefties-only. Not only is it ambidextrous, it's also unisex so you and your wife could both use it. See the picture. It's amazing.
I should also add that I'm jealous as heck that I didn't think of this review first! What fun! (as my father would say.)

Do you happen to know if they make a left-handed version? Too many times those of us who stand on the right side of the ball get left out.

Good luck with that. When it's no kids, it's grandkids!

I love that you got him to pose for a picture with it. That looks like a senior yearbook picture if ever I saw one!
Not fun now, but you guys will laugh for a lifetime about it.

First off welcome to MGS. There could be a number of reasons for your difficulty with long irons, so kinda tough to give advice without more information. Hitting them fat or thin? What is your expectation for distance vs. what your getting? VIdeos would certainly help Also have you taken any lessons?

Had a great meal and sitting by a campfire with a Guinness now with an amazing girlfriend by my side. It’s a great night

That is one busy stretch right there. Just soak it all in. My wife and I are expecting our third this fall, it all goes so fast.

It's been waaayyyy too long of an absence for me on this forum. Boy, do I miss you guys and gals.
I've been super busy with all amazing and happy stuff in my personal life and it was preventing me from being here in my normal manner. So please indulge me as I share my good news/excuses for my lack of participation
1. I took a promotion at work and am now leading a team in an area of the business that I have minimal experience. I am learning every day, am wiped out mentally due to all of the learning, and loving every second of it.
2. My wife and I welcomed our first child into the world on 11/2/2020. Mackenzie Michelle. She's now 5 months old, and I cannot imagine what my life was like before her. Also, big shout out to @jlukes for the recommendation on the Baby Merlin Magic Sleep Suit. It has worked wonders for us.
3. We bought a new house and have been fixing it up for the better part of the last 4 months. Caring for a newborn and remodeling is quite a challenge, but we are very close to completing most of the major indoor tasks.
4. I was accepted into an MBA program and am going back to school. That type of learning is tough because it has been at least a decade since I had to do any sort of school work.
5. We are closing on the sale of our old house on Tuesday. It's going to be wonderful to be completely finished with the old home and fully in the new home.
Thankfully things are calming down with my project list, right on time for the beautiful weather and the courses to open up. Looking forward to sharing my attempts to hack the ball around the course and hearing your tales as well.

That is a hard thing not to do. They have a wall that has some unique and beautiful putters. I pull them down and roll a few when I am there. -

They let me back in today and invited me back tomorrow. They really should do some type of review of the forums before they let guys like me in the building.

Well this is rad AF...
My Clicgear swivel conversion kit is delayed a few weeks but this setup still works great. As does the Shot Scope Pro L1 hanging underneath... and the Ben Hogan ICONs... and the Bettinardi SS38 Armlock. I’m overdue for new wedges but all set otherwise. It’s only a 3 hour drive to Edel HQ... just sayin’.
Also - holla back if you’d like to see an in-depth Alphard Club Booster V2 review.

I got the J&J as well. I had the same kind of issues you did, but I also couldn’t regulate my temperature very well. I was either cold sitting in front of the heater or hot standing under the A/C vent. Didn’t last too long, though. Glad you got it done.

I turn 40 next month. My dad turns 75 in July. Last night we watched Baylor win their first national championship in a major men's sport (football, basketball, baseball). We high-fived, drank a nice whiskey and then I went out with some friends to a bar and yelled at the locals. Pregnant wife didn't appreciate it and today I don't appreciate my decisions as much but hey, it was a blast. It was like I was in college all over again. It was pure bliss last night. I have a photo of me behind the Baylor bench in Scott Drew's first game. We've been a Baylor family since birth and last night was incredible. I know it wasn't much of a game for the general public but damn...what a Final Four by the Bears.
