  1. It's amazing how the grocery store can dictate what I'm going to smoke next. Went to Food City today and picked up a Boston Butt at $1.99/lb. I guess in two weeks it's going to be pulled pork.  

    Edit:

    Just warmed up the meatloaf from last night paired with some roasted red potatoes.

    The H4 is small and provides basic information F/M/B distance and hazards.  Other than that it is used simply to capture what club you used and where the shot was hit from by tapping the sensor on the h4 unit.

    The CONNEX option appears to be done through their app and gives you a couple of extra things like aerial views of the holes while you are playing.  Reading through @sirchunksalot review of connex it looks like it does proximity location as well,  but you have to have your phone with you all the time.  

     

    I can say the Connex isn't a bad unit if you're in a budget. Like @cnosil said you do have to have your phone on you and pull it out to record every shot, which isn't a problem but it can be a bit time consuming on the green. I've actually lost my putter sensor because I hadn't glued it to my SuperStroke grip and was placing it in a button hole on my polo so it was accessable. It didn't fall out, but I can't remember what I did with it after the round. The bag thing is, they don't offer replacements for the Connex system so now I'll have to manually record every putt.

    Good range session today with the Qi10.  This driver is accurate!

    My swing is still flawed.  After the winter layoff, I am coming over the top, my hands too high, and my takeaway is too inside, so I am losing distance.  And the local range here in Bonita has pretty spongy range balls.  (Enough with the excuses, Indy!)

    Thanks to @GolfSpy_BEN for the tee holder recommendation!

    That said, any decent swing with the Qi10 sends the ball into the imaginary fairway.

    I am very impressed with the forgiveness of the Qi10.  Very.  Look at these bad swings and check out the accuracy!

    After banging balls with the Qi10, I hit just a few with the Paradym TD and the Otto-Phlex shaft.  There was an immediate increase of 2-3 mph of ball speed, even with my current power leaking swing.  Of course it is too soon to reach any conclusions, but this will be interesting to track!

    All data is from the MLM 2 Pro with spongy balls.  



     

    Looks like you were hitting the fairway John! I'm glad you were able to take a trip to Florida and get some outdoor swings in.

    It's a good thing I'm flying in on Thursday and going immediately to the tee box at RNK so I can REALLY feel prepared for this Round of Death...

    Lol. At least you'll all get a sense of just how bad I can really be - that way the rest of the weekend will be an improvement 😉

     

    I'm feeling you on that Sam. It looks like it's going to be an interesting, intimidating course. That tee shot on 4 is scary even though I know there's a wide fairway out there. 

  5. It begins! I'm excited to do my first smoke in almost two years. I have on the menu a Jack Daniels infused smoked meatloaf and two blocks of cream cheese. One block is seasoned with Everything Bagel and the other is Sweet Peeper rub. I won't actually be eating the meatloaf until tomorrow, but I might just have to sneak a sample when it's done. I'm also using Pecan for the smoke.

    If you can find it, fire&smoke makes a cherry cola rub that's amazing on cream cheese, pork,  burgers, etc

    I think I might actually have that one but I'm not sure. We do have a couple of their rubs and I might have seen that one in the spice rack. Now you've got me wishing I would have bought more cream cheese. 

    I appreciate the suggestions Rob, this is a smoke that's new to me and I was wondering what seasonings to use.

    2 things I never get tired of on the smoker, meatloaf and cream cheese! (We use everything bagel seasoning,  and cinnamon toast crunch seasoning. )

    That looks so good! I'm going to be using the everything bagel and sweet peeper. I think I might have to look into getting the cinnamon toast crunch seasoning because that sounds like it would be great.

    Lol same, man! My wife will randomly ask if I ever plan on shaving… the answer is always no. I haven’t clean shaved in 10+ years and at this point, I’m too afraid to see what’s hiding underneath 🤣

    Me too, Tyler! I always tell everyone I don't have the best beard but at least it hides the ugly. I accidentally shaved mine off about 8-10 years ago by not paying attention to whether or not I had a guard on my trimmer. It was not pretty.

    Seeing you sitting back from the screen gave me the clue that you had gotten to use your wifes computer.    You probably enjoyed being able to see everyone's face a little clearer.....probably a shock to see @GolfSpy SAM face.

    I was confused for a split second. I was thinking to myself, “That’s definitely Jason… right? He said he wouldn’t make the call but there’s no way he’s got a twin named Berry on here”

    It was just a day for twins of members jumping on the call today, it was especially shocking to see Matt's twin "Bald Face" getting on for Matt. It's just a good reminder for me to never shave mine off. 🤣

  10. I think for me it's people who won't let you play through our at least make you wait. I'm usually cognizant of players who are going skiing at a faster clip than I am and will let them go on ahead. I'm not against having to wait if it means I don't hold anyone up and I expect the same. 

    I tend to like to get in a rhythm on the course and don't like it too be interrupted by folks who are out there goofing off.
