Back in the day I played Wilson Staff blades and the moved to Titleist in 1997. I have played nothing but Titleist irons since 1997 but that is now changing. I traded in my Titleist irons on Thursday and bought my first NEW set of irons in over forty years! I hit Titleist T100S, Mizuno JPX921 Forged, Mizuno MP-20, Srixon ZX-7, and some used Miura irons. My observations: The Titleist, Mizunos, and Srixon irons were all very close in distance and grouping but the JPX921 Forged edged the others slightly The Miura irons were interesting. The first shot I hit was amazing in feel but the others were slightly off the sweet spot and did not feel good. The Mizunos both had great feel but the Titleist and Srixons were very close behind. At the end I walked out with the JPX921 Forged irons. For the first time in twenty-four years Titleist irons will not be in my bag (except my Vokey SM8 wedges). Change is hard but I am excited to get out this weekend and see how they work for me on the course.

Has it been sold or is it still for sale?

Gone, lock it up

I am selling my like new, used two rounds, 2020 Scotty Cameron Special Select Newport 2. This putter is 35” in length and includes the Scotty headcover. I decided I wanted a Squareback instead so I need to sell this one. Gone!

34" waist? Crap I haven't had a 34" waist in 30 years. Jealous of you young flat belly guys.....

They are legit and if you are a member of The Hackers Paradise they have a discount code for 15% off any single item.

Yeah that isn't going to happen, that is way too much for me to spend on a gamer. If I were a collector that would be one thing but I am not.

I just listened to the first episode and it was pretty good. I hope you guys are successful with it although are a ton of podcasts out there already. I like the Jr golf angle you guys have, I would not focus on that completely but I don't think you are planning to. Good job.

My regular course is still open but all the muni courses are now closed in the Oklahoma City area. I think it is likely a matter of time before all courses will be forced to close even though I don't personally see the risk playing golf unless one is just not taking any precautions at all. The State has not implemented a stay at home mandate and the Governor is taking a lot of heat since Oklahoma is becoming a hot spot. I think we are about to come to a grinding halt here.

I think the Icons are great looking clubs, as are the PTx Pro irons. As soon as they have some Icons for their demo program I plan to test them. I don't know how the modern Hogan clubs compare to the Hogans of the past but back in the 80's and 90's I think Hogan made some of the best irons on the market. I don't believe they are associated at all with the old company except through the trademark but they are doing all the right things today and their direct to consumer model has really held down their prices.

I was killing time at the PGA Superstore one day and picked up a 8802, I used to put with one forty years ago. The new one is nice and I sank about five straight 10 footers with it but didn't buy it since I really wasn't in the market at the time and I have a Arnold Palmer "The Original" from about forty years ago that is the Palmer version of the 8802. I am going to give the Palmer a try but I may pick up a 8802, especially as inexpensive as they are.

F100, F117, F119, F135, TF33. Jet engines are fun and a challenge, they run hot enough to melt them but we do amazing things to keep the metals "cool".

I sure would like to try out the new Icon irons and PTx Pro irons, both are beautiful to my eye.

I am confused, what is the required posted photo to comment on and tag a friend?

Youtube has the old Shell's Wonderful World of Golf Matches in their content. The show was on weekly (I think) and featured some of the greats of the day. These videos are very entertaining, the dress and commentary of the time is quite different from today. Give them a try, I think you will enjoy them.

I have not tried a Maxfli but the Snell MTB-X is an excellent ball. I am kind of a ball snob and only play Titleist Pro V1 or V1x but I have played the Snell MTB-X and really liked them but I felt the Pro V's were slightly better around the green for me.

For me I will take a driving iron over a hybrid. I have tried hybrids but tend to draw them more than I prefer so I sold my hybrid and replace it with a 917 F2 5 wood which I like more but if I am not careful I will hook it. I have hit Titleist U500 and U510 utility irons and I am thinking I may be going for a U510 2-iron in the near future. Swing speed isn't an issue at this point so I find hitting irons preferable.

My current setup, which seems to change as often as socks, consists of: Cobra F9 Driver (10.5) with a Tour AD IZ-7 XStiff Titleist 917 F2 3 wood (13.5) Diamanta White 80 stiff shaft Titleist 917 F2 5 wood (18) Diamana Blue 70 stiff shaft Titleist AP2 718 irons KBS Tour stiff shafts Vokey SM7 48.10F Vokey SM7 52.08F Vokey SM7 56.14F Scotty Cameron Select Fastback Pro V1 or V1x balls Lastly, here is my caddie, "Trouble", he's a good boy

Wow! What a beautiful collection of persimmon woods. I didn't keep any of mine and I now regret that. I hope to start collecting some older equipment.

Gig’Em Aggies!

I gave up the game for seven years and then started playing again in June of this year. Why did I give it up? No interest and no regular playing buddies. I started playing again in June and have played maybe fifty rounds since. I am enjoying the game again and I am back to where I was when I quit playing seven years ago.

I just my rangefinder a lot! It is the most accurate for measuring distance and when I can’t tell where the pin is I can get the distance exactly without guessing. My GPS is great but the rangefinder is my go to when exact distance counts. It is also great for measuring distance to a hazard or a tree or whatever if needed.

Anybody else in the OKC area? I’m in Edmond, typically play at The Golf Club of Edmond but would like to play other courses as well.
