Wife is doing better!  I am headed out tomorrow morning to sweep some salty dew, and then again on Saturday with my dad.  Forgot to bring my stash of golf balls. Local courses charge a leg and an arm… so Walmart had the drip Vice’s… Master’s Green and Yellow.  I’m going to embrace my inner Green Jacket.  I’ll do up a mini review if they are worth their drip.

Found one... played it... hard to see... won't play again.

I donated most of them to the swamps on Lost Key Golf Club.  Too high if launch and spin for me.

I'll give it to Vice, they make a good looking ball as I haven't seen that drip pattern before. I can't say I'd play a Vice, but they're one of the few balls I haven't tried. #Golfballho. 

I'm glad to hear you were able to get out and play, even if they weren't right for you. 

Also, I'm happy to hear your wife is feeling better.

Decided only to take the 5 iron (err... weight) out today. It's a players design, medium/fast tip, with a Portuguese Cork grip.  Not too many birdies, but plenty of fishies.  🙂

Just because I'm so damn proud of them, here's the WGI Finals run from our kids that won them the bronze medal this past weekend out in Dayton, OH. My son is the Bass 4 drummer, just look for the one kid in the bass line with the terrible beard 😆

For reference - you get 11 minutes TOTAL to set up on the floor, perform, then get all the instruments and props back off the floor. If you take too long, you get penalized. So imagine getting all of that out there, set up, then off again as a parent. It's a lot of fun, lemme tell ya...

Holy hell, if that was only good enough for a bronze, the others must have been crazy good!  That kid on the drums is amazing! Nice job and congratulations. 👏

13’6” 10wt, now that’s a Big Boy!!  Never had anything over 9’ 8wt. that was  bamboo. Shortest was 6’ 3wt for the narrow Northeast streams.

We missed 2nd place by 2 tenths of a point, and we opened up after prelims almost a full 2 points behind the leaders. So we made up a lot of ground, but the other groups worked hard too. Amazing shows all around.

What's great about that shaft length is how easy it is to flatten your swing 😆.

Was somewhere around 80 when we left SC this morning… I wore pants, everyone laughed at me… pulled into a balmy 62° driveway… who’s laughing now?!

 

62 degrees? That's shorts weather!

Glad to hear you made it home safely.

Recently came upon an old fire pull station box. Always love seeing these bad boys so decided to spruce it up and going to turn it into a bottle opener/storage for bottles for my brother who is on the local fire department. Not done yet but I love it.

Fantastic! I cannot wait until my pink dogwood is in bloom (another month or so)

My pink dogwood finally popped this week, along with a white one in the background.
