Popular Post GolfSpy AFG Posted July 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 23, 2021 My son Grant played in his first junior golf event yesterday. I was a little disappointed in that they didn't keep score or treat it like a real tournament even though it was advertised as such. (I can't complain too much...I wasn't charged anything to enter him.) That said, Grant struck the ball really solidly...I was impressed with the distance he got on several drives. His putting needs some work, very wristy, but there will be time to get technical later. His interests are all over the place and has spent much more time playing baseball this year than golf, but at this age (7) I'm going to let him do everything and anything...be an athlete, specialize later. All the baseball definitely has helped him build up some speed and rotational power for sure. russtopherb, MaxEntropy, tony@CIC and 11 others 13 1 Quote Driver: TSR2, Ventus Blue 6 S, 65g Stiff FW: TSR2 3w, 15, Ventus Blue 7 S, 70g Stiff Hybrids: Apex Pro 3H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Stealth DHY 4H, Ventus Blue 8 S, 80g Stiff Irons: SMS 5-6, SMS Pro 7-PW, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Wedges: SM9 48 F Grind, 52 F Grind, 56 M Grind, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Putter: Sri-Hot 5K Triple Wide, Stroke Lab shaft Ball: Pro V1 Click here for my HONMA TR20 Official Review!

Popular Post Chip Strokes Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 i think i’ve gotta stop fighting my natural fade with the driver and just embrace it. i went to a draw (or attempted draw) because when i started playing i was slicing the ball off the planet. it helped, but it doesn’t feel natural and now i’m missing both ways. tonight at the range i lined up aimed at a light pole that would’ve been the left side of the fairway and hit 10 in a row that peeled off the pole beautifully. the only thing that scares me about it is the occasional straight ball that goes forever. fore left! sirchunksalot, Kenny B, tommc23 and 9 others 9 1 2 Quote SIM2 8º | KuroKage XD 70TX SIM 3W 14º | Fujikura Atmos Black Tour Spec 9TX SIM2 5W 18º | Fujikura Ventus Black 10X U500 2i | Fujikura Ventus HB Black 10TX T100 4-PW | Dynamic Gold X7 SM6 52* SM8 56* SM8 60* | Dynamic Gold Tour Issue X100 DW | BGT Stability Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlights didn't work but taillights did. They're different circuits but on the same switch. So worked backwards from the bulbs to the wiring etc. turns out its a bad switch. So why couldn't EZGO install an inexpensive toggle switch??? . The OEM switch which had a dedicated connector is $66. At least I found the problem - if I had to call the golf cart dealer it would have cost me $75 just for the cart pick-up. Another Sunday on Cart electrical work. I received and installed the new switch - and now have power to the lights. But figured since I was going to be tearing up the dash why not go one step further and upgrade the headlights to LEDs. The current ones were so discolored you could hardly see anything at night. The LEDs are a huge upgrade from the old ones. Here's a before and after. Note tail/brake lights yet to be done.
