  1. It's very, very rare for me to drool over bags. They've never been my "thing". That has changed after this thread.
  2. I used to go driver to HyWood, but I'm also just a mere mortal. Now I have the Mizuno ST-Z lofted up to 4w range based on my fitting and it gets the job done, and done well.
  3. Interesting that this thread got bumped - feels like after the initial release and promo talk about these new Adams clubs died down quickly. Everything pointed to them being really solid and well priced but once the launch talk died down… that was the end of it.
  4. Good morning everyone! I'm back in the office after being in Ohio the past week for WGI World Championships with the kids. They ended up in 4th place overall in the hardest scholastic division, couldn't be prouder of them. And on the good news front - I just got the call from the dealership that the engine on my car is being replaced under warranty and I'll have it back later this week. Outstanding!
  5. Congrats all! Also, I am 100% jealous, because these bags are gorgeous. You all had better give us LOTS and LOTS of pics!
  6. Congrats all! Looking forward to your reviews.
  7. Freddie forever. Max Homa for the current gen is one I really like a lot.
  8. 100% honesty - I very rarely pay attention to the grind. I do play CBX wedges, and have since they came out, so that's probably part of it.
  9. Morning all! I'm stuck at home with no car, which is being towed to the dealership as we speak (...er, I mean as I type and as you read) to see if they'll potentially replace the engine under warranty due to MANY well documented issues covering the exact problems I've had. In the meantime I'll be in and out of meetings and calls, as I prep to get everything I can done work-wise before leaving for the annual Ohio trip with the kids for World Championships next week. No rest for the weary, I guess!
  10. Hole 7 at Whaling City GC is a 550 yard par 5 with a forced layup off the tee, then a 180 yard carry over water before being faced with an elevated green protected by trees on both sides. It's a PITA hole that I've only ever parred once in all the years I've been playing there. It always eats my lunch.
  11. Yeah apparently this is a known issue. A coworker got rid of his as soon as this started. https://jalopnik.com/hyundai-owners-file-class-action-over-excessive-engine-1848797045
  12. Thanks man. The car is fixed… for now. Problem wasn’t the alternator. It was bone dry - not a single drop of oil in there So that’s something I need to keep an eye on. May need to buy a new car a few years before I was hoping to, depending on what my son gets for financial aid heading into his freshman year at UMass. Bye bye, money.
  13. I went from long irons to fairway woods to hybrids, and I'll never go back. Fairways worked really well when I struggled with hybrids, however fixing my swing helped me get along much better with hybrids and I now enjoy playing them.
  14. I'm at the office, and my car is at the garage. I had an appointment for an oil change tomorrow anyways so it's there a day early Looks like it may be the alternator, I'm in the office and I have a loaner if they can't get to it today. Thanks for the well wishes everyone! Much appreciated.
  15. Thanks man, I appreciate it. I’m in a tough spot, between an on-ramp, the entrance to a park-and-ride lot, and the angle of the sun right now making it difficult for drivers to see my hazards, I’m just hopeful everything works out OK. And just as I’m typing this, another idiot just flew up in the breakdown lane and almost hit the car. Unbelievable.
  16. Good morning everyone! I hope your day is going better than mine is. I’m currently stranded on the side of the road after my car died while in traffic. Tow should be here in approximately 90 minutes. I was able to pull over, but I’m right before a highway on ramp, so idiots keep flying up behind me in the breakdown lane trying to sneak onto the ramp and having to slam on the brakes. I’m standing outside the car to try and give people a warning so my car doesn’t get slammed into.
  17. This is the one I use as well but I don’t have a retractable lanyard for it. And I need one! But I’ve had it for a few seasons with no complaints.
  18. Sticking with the Mizuno ST-X. It worked great for me last season, and I see no reason to mess with that.
  19. My thoughts as well. I'd almost undoubtedly opt for the Stealth over the Edge set. Not a knock on the Callaways, I just feel those are a step down.
  20. I started playing to spend time with my father and grandfather. Now I play to spend time with my son and my friends, many of whom I've known for 30+ years. I guess at the end of the day, I play because of the friendships and relationships, vs any sort of competitive drive. Which is there, BTW - I originally started playing the game again when my doc told me no more hockey or 5ks due to my knee. But I just love being out there with people I'm close to, sharing some laughs along with the peaks and valleys of the game.
  21. ...retire? My balls all leave me like a disgruntled ex. I've never had the opportunity to retire one.
  22. Pretty surprising timing, TBH.
