OFFICIAL MyGolfSpy Reader Review: Motocaddy
Mackdaddy9 replied to GolfSpyC's topic in Official Forum Member Reviews
I have had 21 knee and 14 ankle all on my right knee. I am 100% permanently disabled veteran. I rejoice in the fact that I can play golf. It is my only competitive avenue. I could walk on a very flat course like they have down in Florida if I had too but it would cost me at least 5 strokes. I need to use CBDMD Freeze in 1500 or better still 3000mg just to make it thru 18. I know from my ARCCO's data that I lose most of my strokes in either the first 3 holes or the last 3 holes. I know that it takes me about 30-40 minutes to get loose because warming up with full swings would cause me mo -
My clubs were 1" long because my hands are so big I grip the club at least 1" down the grip just to fit my hands. I wear a size 20 ring, my palms are 8" across. Where I grip the club when 1" long is at the standard height.

Played well today. I changed my time over the ball. I committed to each shot before I got over the ball and then hit the ball. I had been spending to much time over the ball thinking about things that can effect the shot ie wind, slope, lie. Today I committed to all those things before approaching the ball and then trusted myself to just hit the shot. Shot a tidy 69

That is my concern. My old clubs were 1" long and 1* upright. He said that I was a standard lie and length. I have emailed them but with the holiday I still haven't heard back.

2020 Official Member Review: Kanibi CBD Products
Mackdaddy9 replied to StrokerAce's topic in Official Forum Member Reviews
I have had multiple knee surgeries and have bone on bone contact in 3 places. I wake up each morning with a pain level of 8.5 out of 10. I use CBD MD products and have for 2 years. They have a roll on product called cbdMD freeze 1500 It has 1500mg of cbd with Lidocaine. This product reduces my swelling and reduces my pain to about a 2 which is very manageable. -
I went to Club Champion and got fit for a whole bag of new gear. I love the way the clubs feel. I am only having one challenge I am hitting the ball out of the toe far to often, that was not a miss I had before getting these new clubs. I haven't changed my swing, confirmed by taking the old clubs with me to the range and hitting them in the middle of the face. I suspect that it is a lie angle issue but I don't know. The clubs feel great even on the toe strikes but I spent way to much to not have a center strike. Any fitters out there that can give me some insights?

Can anyone tell me how to make my Scotty head cover magnetic
Mackdaddy9 replied to Mackdaddy9's topic in DIY Golf Projects
Well I went on amazon and bought some very strong magnets. I used a really sharp pen knife and cut the stitches on one side, then I slipped in the magnets. At first they were set in opposites and they didn't stick, they repelled. It thru me for a bit. Once I figured it out it was easy to flip one over and stitch them back in. They work great! I like to stick the head cover to my clubs when I go to the green to putt. -
Rick check out IDME.com they have lots of awesome deals for vets. Then type in golf in the search. I get balls for 1/2 price and PXG does clubs for 1/2 off there too. You can get a custom fitter from PXG to bring their mobile fitting van to set you up too.

I took advantage of the Patriot plan from PXG even though I went to Club Champion and PXG charged me 1/2 price.

We did try the MMT shaft. I hit down at 7 degree angle of attack on some of my swings and the MMT did not do as well on those shots. My standard swing the MMT was fine. I like to flight the ball low and spin it some times and the Fugi did better then Staying straight where the MMT flared right 10 to 15 yards.

I have played Japanese forged irons for the last 20 years or so. I just had a full bag fitting at Club Champion because at 60 years old I have lost lots of swing speed. When I was last fit 10 years ago I had a 114 mph driver speed now it is just 99 mph. The fitter was awesome. He noticed right away that feel is everything to me. He saw that I played KZG irons and asked me what I would like in a new set of irons. I told him that a soft feel is number one and number two was shot making versatility. I told him I love the feel of Japanese forgings. I told him I have owned KZG and Miura

Just about to get my new clubs from club champion so I will wait to see what the testers think. Good Luck.
