Pretty good selection of frames that are much, much cheaper than anywhere else. The last pair was prescription safety glasses for work. Progressive lenses, scratch resistance, and blue filter for a little over $100. Wow. That's a deal! 2 Quote In my carry bag: D7 GBB 3W (lofted to 4W) V-Series Heavenwood Baffler XL 5i-PW CBX 54* iWedge 58* #10 Whatever ball I have 3 dozen of that my kids got me as a gift Twitter: @russtopherb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny B 28,305 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 On my way home today I spied the first Unlimited Hydroplane rolling into town for next week's boat races on the Columbia River. It's our big event of the year that we didn't have last year... around 50,000 spectators line the Kennewick and Pasco sides of the river. 9 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Getoffmylawn 4,153 Posted July 23 Popular Post Share Posted July 23 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. 14 1 Quote Driver: TR20 460, Vizard 60g Stiff FW: CBX 119 3w, 15, Project X Evenflow Blue 65g Stiff Hybrids: SIM DHY 3 & 4H, Diamana Limited Hybrid 75g Stiff Iron: JPX 919 Forged 5-GW, Aerotech Steelfiber i95 Stiff Wedges: SM8 54 S Grind, 60 M Grind Putter: ER7B Ball: Pro V1X Tested the Honma TR20 460 driver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chip Strokes 6,019 Posted July 24 Popular Post Share Posted July 24 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! 10 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...

I do opt for the higher cost lenses with the smaller distortion zones, but then add in scratch protection, blue light filtering (a must for me since I look at 4 screens all day at work) and everything else... even with my insurance discounts it's basically the price of an iron set The new spectacles came in much sooner than expected so I picked them up today. On the good side, the frames are so much lighter than my old ones, and the red racing stripe on the earpieces hopefully distracts from the thinning hairline On the bad side, only my left eye changed so everything looks lopsided to me right now. I almost fell down getting out of my chair at dinner... I'm sure by tomorrow things will be fine and my brain will have adjusted. 9 Quote In my carry bag: D7 GBB 3W (lofted to 4W) V-Series Heavenwood Baffler XL 5i-PW CBX 54* iWedge 58* #10 Whatever ball I have 3 dozen of that my kids got me as a gift Twitter: @russtopherb 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.
