I’m pretty young to have a 15 year old I suppose.  Not old I guess.  Just have no idea where the last 10 years went.  They flew by.

My 15 year old is 28.... and she gave me 4 grand kids. My other 15 year old is 25... and she gave 2 grand kids. I'm too damn young to have 6 grand kids!

If all of my kids have 5 kids… I will be in the poor house.  Even 2… looking at like 10-25 grandkids… if these ones don’t kill me first. But that better be like 30 years from now or more.

Not going to share any links, but the Google machine shows that at least one online vendor may have accidentally (maybe?) posted some new iron releases prior to the launch(er) date. Color me very intrigued...

it took me almost a month of dealing with flaky sellers and looking at over a dozen rust buckets to find a suitable truck for work around my property and for some of the dirtier jobs of managing my buildings

the used car market is insane right now

This is probably common knowledge to everyone else but I found out today that trading in clubs by walking up to the counter in a 2nd swing gets you in store credit not credit to your online account with them.  I kept looking for the amount to show up on my online account and finally called them after a few days. 

So if I find clubs on the 2nd swing website I have to contact that store to have the clubs transferred to them and then buy them there applying that in store credit to the purchase price.

I don't care who you are, that Field of Dreams game last night and the ramp-up to it was damn cool. 

I'm not afraid to admit, I still sob like a baby at the end of that flick, and 30 years later it still has that effect on me.

I watched about an inning and a half;  thought the idea was cool, Got bored.  Need to go back and watch the opening with the teams coming out from the corn field.

Yeah, once the game got going it was an ordinary ballgame, although the cutaway scenes of the game in the middle of a cornfield were cool, and a walkoff to end it didn't hurt.  But for me, the opening and the music score....struck a chord.  I've always been sentimental where that movie is concerned though....

I miss our garden fresh cukes and baby tomato's (garden in WA).  A bowl of them sliced with a splash of Italian dressing and some salt & pepper were the bees knees.

My son will eat cukes and tomato’s right off the vine he, won’t eat a salad though, figure that one out!

sliced cukes in vinegar is so good. Going to try some jalapeño pickles and garlic pickles this year (dad did jalapeños and garlic so should be fantastic)

Have a predicament I need some help with…

This “new swing” I am finding the home button on the reg… however, I’m seeing a drop off in distance that I have thoroughly enjoyed… 

The accuracy with the “new swing” is top shelf.

The Bryson swing accuracy was all over the map as of recent..

Scoring, so far looks like it will benefit from the added accuracy, but I’ll have a longer club into the green sometimes… we are still talking a short iron.

Do I BASH the ball or finesse it?

Bash: 285+
 

Finesse: 265-285+…
 

Tell me what to do… wife says duh, accuracy… I say Bash bros.

 

Wht say you?

As a former bash bro I love the accuracy component I have found….knowing my miss is nice too. Even on pour driver days where I’m short and off…..it’s not as bad.

accuracy bro! Especially when it’s still out there

I need more info.   With bash the low end of your dispersion circle was 285 and now it is 265?   did you also get a drop of 20 yards in your top end?   How much loss of accuracy?  How wide was the pattern with bash and now with finesse?

The quick answer is that from a strategy perspective you should always want distance over accuracy.  It is also easier to reign in left right dispersion than add length.

I think I can eventually add the speed back. Drives were getting out of hand… fore both sides… now, striped.  
 

it really is just a set up change.  I’m still the same distance from the ball, but I let my hands naturally get into position like “most” of what you see.  Rather than hold them up on the impact plane.

I haven’t tried to “really send” one with it yet.
