No, we stayed on level ground... or mostly so, leaving the decent into the canyon to the hearty. Elevation on the rim is about 7000 feet and many do not account for that in their "I can do it" analysis. I'm sure we could have done a short-ish hike down and back on the less severe grades, but we were happy to just take it all in from the rim. I do think going on an overnight (or two) rafting trip would be fun and provide a completely different experience. Looking up those near vertical walls would be something. The pictures simply do not do it justice.

That's no joke. There are few guardrails and fences... Darwin award opportunities a plenty .

Top of the pot spies . Our trip to the Grand Canyon was fun. It truly is an amazing place to see. I couldn't help but think about the first to people to have walked up to the rims and what went through their minds . My wife took a gazillion pictures (thank God for digital ), and she'll be busy for weeks working through those to add to her portfolio. I spent as much time looking through my binoculars and was able to see groups of rafters on the Colorado River plying the rapids. They looked timid enough from my vantage point (a mile above) but were likely standing waves. Here's some pictures from my cell phone. If you've never been here, consider adding to your bucket list. Have a great Friday and weekend everyone.

Top of the pot spies . We're up early to head off to see the Grand Canyon for the first time. Need to drop River off at the dog sitter, pack the car, and all that stuff (wife seems to pack the house no matter where we go or for how long) . Still haven't decided if I'm going to go onto the "glass bottom" lookout... definitely know my wife is not. Have a great Tuesday whatever is in your schedule.

Testers Announced! Callaway Ai-Smoke Drivers
fixyurdivot replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Forum Testing Reviews
Congratulations spies! This will be fun to follow and see how Callaway's furthering of AI face technology affects performance. If it follows the Odyssey AI putters, good chance some current gamer drivers hit the buy/sell thread . -
Glad to hear you are liking the Srixon's. They have been getting lots of accolades as far back as the Z series. I knew little about them when I had my last iron fitting in 2019 (primarily to move to composite shafts). When I hit them, they jumped to the top spot and no other could get past. While I keep going to our demo days and hitting contenders (pretty much everything this past spring), none have moved me to switch the line-up... not even the MKII's. When I tested those, I hit the ZX5 and ZX7 and really saw no difference. The fitter was straight up honest and said "much as I'd love to sell you a set of MKII's, I would not change a thing". I just set my new all time low index and won our men's league championship a few weeks ago... dancing with who brung me .

I think this most accurately reflects my sentiment about what is happening to tour golf. The PGA vs. LIV storyline has soured many long time fans. I'm not even sure a reconciliation between the two tours will reverse the trend as many are also tired of the "prima-donnafication" of players (which is happening to all professional and now college sports). The points about changes in how fans view sports (streaming platforms) may very well not be accounted for and reflected in the numbers. Maybe viewership is actually up... don't know? But, for me, I don't like what is happening to the sport - now all about money - or so it seems to me.

The other PGA Championship this week. Corales Puntacana
fixyurdivot replied to NotScratchYet's topic in Tour Talk
TGC stopped coverage of the RBC and switched to Corales. Clark makes the turn with a 29 front... crazy good golf. I'm in the ABWC group, and I want Scottie to win. He's up 3 thru 7, so far looking good. Some serious low scoring going on in both events. Horschel, Tway, and Hoffman having a shoot-out. Players hitting drivers off the deck on par 5's into the wind and putting like the hole is a 1 gallon paint can. Nelly now up by 3 thru 9 ... GET ER' DONE GIRL!! -
Happy Anniversary to you and Martha my friend. You two seem very simpatico and I wish you both many more years together!

Bummer... get well .

Top of the pot spies . GO NELLY GO. Have a great Sunday all!

Good articles. I finally broke back into single digits last summer... after over 35 years. Ultimately, for me, it was getting back to playing regularly, working hard on all aspects of the game. But, most importantly, it was finding the right instructor to get me moving away from the OTT tendency... especially when shooting the long arrows.

All things being equal, launch metrics and manner in which the ball interacts with the ground, the rollout should be really close. That said, my observation is that draws tend to roll out more than fades. I say "observation" because I can't hit a draw off the tee with driver... period .
