    Wow, I may have to start applying for testing opportunities again, but ya know I'm still scarred from that time I applied to test that Callaway driver and @GolfSpy BOS was chosen over me!🙄😅

    Must have been a bad dream? I never tested a Callaway driver. 🤣 I did end up buying one because of a test and subsequent testing though…

    You must be having flashbacks to #CC4 🫨

    That’s fantastic news - hip hip hooray for Lamkin coming through! Although it would’ve been fun to see a Judgement of Solomon (the grip version) shake out.

    Re: more chances to win - I’d probably have better luck letting the auto-pick bot handle my team for the remaining majors. I do still have three auto-picks left… hmmm

    You’re not alone there. These pools are a good reminder to me of why I need to do the free ones and not gamble any real money. Haha

    and yes, Lamkin has been great to work with and loves what our forum is all about!

    What’s even more amazing is that @SBB and @Pettitt95 only had a 3 pick overlap and still finished with the exact same score and winnings. Those odds are long.

    I’m hoping Lamkin Golf are big Oprah fans - @SBB get grips, @Pettitt95 get grips, DLK gets grips, errbody gets grips!!!! That’s some admittedly pie-in-the-sky hoping, but it seems like the actual winners ought to at least get their due on the photo finish. It’s too close to call.

    If not, perhaps there’s enough in the kitty from our whopping $2 entry fee to cover an extra set? Maybe take up a collection? Or even go the Judgement of Solomon route and threaten to cut all the grips in half? That’d be my vote. All I’m certain of is that I do not envy you as arbiter of this situation.

    I just confirmed with Lamkin and our two winners, @SBB and @Pettitt95 will both receive a full set of Lamkin swing grips! 
     

    Sadly, they only were able to go half-Oprah @downlowkey. BUT, there are more chances to win!! 🤣

    The Masters proved to be a pretty brutal week for the pick’em league. More war of attrition than birdie bonanza.

    Congrats to @Pettitt95 _and_ @SBB on the win - the only 2 teams to finish under par (-1).

    They had different teams but finished at the same score total and winnings.

    Presumably @GolfSpy BOS is going let us know soon whether they both won a set of Lamkin grips or will be facing off in a double tie breaker coin flip.

    Another signature event this week for the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, so the big names are in town. With Meredith in the baby red zone, ride the Scheffler heat at your own peril. Good luck errbody!

    I'm thinking on this one, it's quite amazing that we only had TWO people end up under par.  I thought I had a dang good team going into it too! 

    TaylorMade Qi10 Drivers - 2024 Forum Member Review

    For this review, I want to do the Good, Bad, the Inbetween. 

     

    First, the Good. The new TaylorMade Qi10 Standard is a quantum leap from what I had in my hands before, which was the TaylorMade R-15. The R-15 feels like a brick on a stick compared to the Qi10. I’m actually a couple of miles per hour faster with the Qi10. The 60xCarbon Twist Face has saved my bacon on more than one occasion. Where we play, the fairways are lined with olive trees for the most part. Once in there, it is like a one-stroke penalty. Off-center shots are generally guided back on line.

     

    Next up is the Bad. The Qi10 Standard would be a shade better if it came with an Open/Closed/Neutral adjustment for the face. I like the look of the more closed face when at address. Hey, I had to find something to gripe about.

     

    Now for the Inbetween. The Qi10 Standard is as basic as you can get as far as the head/hosel adjustments go. Nothing fancy. Just your basic Higher/Lower loft settings. I didn’t find that the Qi10’s adjustments made any difference on the flight except for the height. In my area where there is a fairly constant 10-15 mph wind, the Lower setting did produce a bit more penetrating ball flight. It didn’t make much difference, for me at least, on the left/right flight of the ball.

     

    For this section, I’d give the TaylorMade Qi10 an 18 out of 20.

    Take a look at this adjustment chart, it is from the SIM, but it works the same way for all TM drivers using that adapter:

    You'll notice that all of the "higher" side of the adapter will close the face.

     

    Looking forward to reading the rest of your complete review! 

     

    If you could play one hole at Augusta, which would it be?

    in General Q&A

    Posted

    It's #13 and it's not even close.  I feel like this hole has a little bit of all the best parts of Augusta in it.  The sloping fairway, the risk/reward second shot, that creek in front of the green, and a green that allows for some long and bendy putts but overall doesn't seem too unfair.  I can't think of a better way to get the most of our my Augusta experience than playing #13 if I can only play one.  

     

    That being said... if there's no stroke limit, I'll just "miss" into the next fairway quite a few times and see how much of the course I can see!

    Good morning all!

    Thanks to all those who sent well wishes for my first day.  It's going very well.

    In a few hours we get the Eclipse (or apocalypse as my middle child was saying... if he is right, it was nice knowing you all), some golf goodies arriving in multiple packages 🤫 , and ITS MASTERS WEEK.

    What a time to be alive.  Thankfully my new job is fully remote... so the Masters app will be up and running often this week!

    Gooooooood morning all.  

    3 Stack sessions into my quest to crush @GolfSpy AFG in Virginia and the swing is starting to feel good again.  Thanks Hayes for providing the proper motivation to get things moving before the golf season officially begins for me.  🤣

    Also looks like we're going to avoid that dirty s.n.o.w. that was forecasted, at least anything measurable, and starting Monday we're back into the 60's just in time for Master's Week.  

     

    Life. Is. Good.

    Inspired by @GolfSpy BOS, here's a pic of the new bag adopting my son's bag. I'm uncomfortable at how comfortable they are together. I'm not saying I'm JEALOUS, But... Who's got their arm around me, is all I'm asking. 

    Stupid good-looking bags get all the love. 

    IMG_9065.jpeg

    It’s a lovely family photo. 🥲

    and gosh darn that bag looks so good it might make it in the Christmas card with my SMS Pro 4-iron and my other three children. 😂

    @GolfSpy BOS - Given what could be coming up this could be an even more crucial debate!

    This nonsense again Jamie?!  Xbox is by far the superior ecosystem. 

     

    If we're being real for a moment, cross-platform play is truly the best.  I love that people can play games now independent of what system they choose to use and still have fun.

    But for the sake of this argument, playstation blows.  I continue to loathe the controller, and as such, my home will continue to remain a playstation free environment.

    I played my first round with the F-3 and results were better than I could have expected, made more 6-9 footers than I have in months , I did 3 putt twice from over 50 feet uphill but believe it’s due to lack of reps . I realized the he prediction of my fitting what was said , I would get more distance with much less effort . That cost me a couple putts that I struck too hard . The overall result from yesterday was - where I aimed it is where it went -that felt awesome 

    Let’s see some photos of that beauty!
