  1. Yes Rick noticed the same thing but he admitted he went overboard in his video. On your second point I noticed that posting as well. But you can visibly see the different weights now internally and externally and they did not have that before, so why advertise these different metals and fillings make up if it does not change the center of gravity and ability to improve launch of the ball?
  2. Serious question do you agree or disagree with the LPGA dress code changes of a year or so ago. I think it is in violation of the sexy women golfers to dress as they please (within reason of course) but what they were wearing on the course and posing with advertisements was nice, very good for them financially and for the LPGA as many more people watched it then. Why discriminate against natural beauty? None of thse sexy LPGA women outfits were a problem to me and many if not most women and men. IMO very stuffy thing the LPGA did.
  3. We were not even close to being the first to do this, it has happened elsewhere around the world. Can't take credit for that. There was no fuss either when it was suggested, no people protested, no debate, even restaurants were ok with it. I think this is common in Europe maybe South America as well. Americans should go on the bandwagon with this (or maybe off the wagon is a better way to say it). It is in violation of your right to bear booze.
  4. I don't mean offense or start a fight. It is a serious question. maybe Americans call many things political vs. the rest of the world eg. Canada. Politics means political parties, political campaigns, political leaders, political debates on stages not on issues. I would like to know what you and this sites definition of politics are so I know the rules of the site. Very serious question please don't take offense. Stay safe S&B
  5. Golf course should allow people to bring their own booze. For the last few years here in Winnipeg you can even bring your own booze to a restaurant so you don't have to pay those crazy high markups eg. pay as much as a full bottle at the licqour store for s simple glass of booze. It has gone ever well, no abuses, no complaints and not a lot of takers either I think.
  6. Yes they will, will do it one their own or be forced to by government, public health agencies, inspectors, and by the golfers themselves, they don't want to see or touch those empty booze bottles, there are kids on the course you know.
  7. That is not politics it is good public health practice. Politics is political parties (Dems and Reps for you in the US) or political leaders for the November 2020 elections Seriously how is what he said political? Honesty I don't get your objection. You can agree or disagree with his views no issue there but why call it political, just because you don't agree with it? You can agree to disagree it is a free country with freedom of speech, thought and assembly, correct?
  8. You did nothing wrong Release imo, you had good advice that would save many lives. Stay safe Release.
  9. Anybody try one or see one in use on a course? Anyone see them as new in a retail store? Seems like it would be the top chipper. It was for a couple of years when i did a YouTube search of top chippers. I think this wold be even better than my chipper with the marksman markings and its wider design.
  10. I assume you are talking golf. Guess that may be the norm know. Wet towels to have clean fresh balls.
  11. My clubs are 35 tears old are like brand new, never re-gripped, still tacky (I wash them and use vinegar with a brush several times a season) but I don't play much eg. go out 15-20 times a year play 20-30 games last few years before that was like 5-10 games a year. Don't play in really hot or really cold weather. Always keep them very clean. Except one year I did a lot, 1997 and 1998 as I won a season golf pass to a very nice course about an hour away one way.
  12. Wedges wear out in 2-3 years? That is nuts. Are they so super soft now? You can regrove them.
  13. I understand and agree with your point. No what I am saying if they both have the same loft and length (i.e. old 5 iron and new 7 iron) they are the same just BS labeling on the club. But if the amount and placement of the weight or club face design are different than it acts differently eg 5 iron flys like a 7 iron.
  14. Thank you very much for the above chart. Much appreciated. Excellent doing it right and left handed.You should be a moderator or have a YouTube channel. Seriously no one does what you did so clearly, concisely and completely. So cut and fade and slice are the same for a lefty? Slice is unintentional and fade is intentional. What exactly is different with the word cut?
  15. That would be two clubs stronger for me. When I tried a Ping G400 5 iron last year I hit a 5 iron 165, on my set a 5 iron would be 150 so 15 yards farther but it was way easier to hit and way more accurate, so much so that I almost got a hole in one with it on the first try. I also hit a G400 7 iron and it was nice. Then felt bad borrowing the clubs as I was in a $10,000 hole in one contest and with his clubs I was hitting way closer to the hole than he was and he was a 18-19 year old who worked at the golf course when I I used his clubs. When I used my clubs he was much better / closer to the whole. I hit my TNT Silver Eagles from 1985: SW 90 yards PW 100 yards 9 iron 110 yards 8 iron 120 yards 7 iron 130 yards 6 iron 140 yards 5 iron 150 yards 4 iron 160 yards Don't play my 2 or 3 iron anymore.
  16. Major reason I am reluctant to buy a new set of irons with unknown / uncontrollable hot faces is total BS.
  17. I thought CG was a big change, you can see the weights externally and internally now via marketing graphics.
  18. But if are the same loft and length just a difference in weight placement that is not really true.
  19. If that keeps up they will just ban booze on the course. Yup no more picking up garbage when it is even illegal to pick up lost balls, which to be fair is a very enjoyable part of the game for many., also economic and environmentally friendly. Saving green twice.
  20. If they catch you doing that now you will be in trouble with the new rules of covid golf. The way they talk people / inspectors maybe out and if there is violation that course and maybe all in the area maybe everywhere will be closed, no joking here, word and rumour travel in milliseconds now, real news and fake news makes no matter. Stay safe fozcycle.
