Matt Saternus Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Nice looking bag, Funky. More importantly, when did Asics start making golf shoes? I've been wearing Asics exclusively (when I have a choice, at least) for...geez, over 10 years. If their golf shoes are anywhere as good as their runners, I will be switching as soon as I wear out my adidas.

I figured that you had ordered them from Ping at the correct swing weight. I have been known to mess around with lead tape on putters to increase headweight and decrease the flight time.

Just a little 9 hole thing at a short executive course that is completely ownable.

MISS!!!!!!! #8 235yd "par4" - drive it to 25 feet........ 3 tap AGAIN. The putter ceased to live at this point....

Don't get upset i really don't know you at all but looking at all those nice approach shots in the greens and all those extra putts has to be eating at you. NO? It is part of the reason that I never play golf on a consistent basis anymore. I used to be a halfway decent player, and carried a 2.0 index for about 3 years... Then family happened. I still have those days when I hit it like a scratch player, but balance it out with my 15 hdcp short game, and shoot under 80.. but most of the time I am right around 82. In another thread I vowed to purchase a putter this year, and stick with it FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON. I hope this helps. (sorry for the threadjack.)
