Good morning All, 

the driver shaft is out for delivery. Gonna be a good day.

 

Have a great Friday!

👍

I decided to try a different shaft in my Epic Max after playing it for a few years.  The shaft I wanted cost more than a nearly new Epic Max LS with that shaft in it... so it arrived yesterday.  Late in the afternoon I tried it out plus new shaft in Epic Max head and old shaft in Epic Max LS head.  This weekend I'm going with old shaft in Epic Max LS head.

Good Morning everyone!!  Another cold, beautiful sunny day... 41º when I got up.  I have to finish pruning shrubs today, but maybe I'll get another run at my two drivers this afternoon!  Have a lovely day, or as lovely as it can be on Friday the 13th.  Stay safe!

... I am pretty traditional with grip installs. Tried water activate tape and it dint work for me. I have also had a few bad tape rolls over the years and there's nothing worse than a grip that slides a little. Grip tape and solvent isn't expensive and readily available so it is one area where I don't experiment. 

i have had success with water release, but use solvent as well, I agree, dont want my grips sliding around, I am taking my grips off my Miura's as they are quite new and putting them on the Takomo's.

Other tip I'd say is to go into it with a 100% open mind on head types, shaft weight/flexes, etc. Good fitters will work with your swing to help find the best combination. 

 

Was how i approached my iron fitting.  im brand agnostic, I want performance first regardless of who makes it.

Happy Friday everyone!

Remember that today is National No Bra Day and in the spirit of the day, I will, as usual NOT be wearing a bra today.

In addition, today is also National Day for Disaster Risk Reduction. So please curb your desire to “go for the green” and layup instead, to reduce risk. Remember, layup, it’s the safest thing to do. This PSA brought to you by the council to protect and conserve golf balls.

That is all…. Carry on….

Cheers

Fun round today. Played solid with some bad holes and shot an 84 on a course I'd never seen before. 

Missed out on a good 10 shots I would say, but every club in my bag performed well.

Gotta I'm also really loving the vice pro plus.

Is there blue and orange an easy ball to find? Especially with the leaves falling?

Good Very (Very Very) late morning all,

It's cold and rainy, very miserable, appropriate for being under the weather LOL. Feeling better already, but last night was less than fun. Hit em good if you are able to get out there. Cheers!

Just your "normal" obsessed golfer in search of more shots with names of flying critters...

Good morning all from an early Wisconsin Saturday! First whitetail bow hunt sit of the year for me today, so was up at 4 to get over to my hunting land. Bit rainy and windy so not the best conditions, but I’ve seen deer in worse weather. Honestly just looking forward to getting out into the woods. Hope everyone has a great day!

4 am? That hurts to read… 😂

Good morning Spies on a cool and wet Saturday morning here. Going to work at a "Trunk or Treat" event here this afternoon at the Stahl's Auto Museum.

With the wet weather the activities for the kids will be moved indoors, and we will have tables set up to pass out the treats to them.

Playing a round tomorrow, not supposed to be wet, but still will be only low 50's for the high.

Hope your day is the best it can be, no matter what is in your plans.

Good morning everyone!

I'm just getting out of bed after a very long nights sleep. Sorry, @Jnoble89. Good luck out there today and even though I know the weather's not ideal, enjoy the peacefulness that comes with being in the woods. There's just something exciting about seeing deer suddenly appear out of thin air.

I'm feeling better today after a rough day yesterday. Still have some weakness in my legs, but I'm planning on taking it easy today. 

My coffee is delicious and I have a cuddle pile of animals around me so what more could I ask for? 

I hope you all have a wonderful start to your weekend!

One of the best parts of hunting is for sure the serenity of being in nature. Monster bucks obviously help, too 😂, but there’s no such thing as a bad day in the woods regardless of seeing anything or not.

Good morning Spies,

Working on my second cuppa this morning. Feeling much better today. I mowed the lawn yesterday afternoon and my only complaint is my wonky ankle which isn’t COVID related 🤪. Thankfully this bought of COVID was much milder than when I got it a year ago.


Now back to golf related activities. I used some b-day money to order a new lob wedge. Went with an SM9 58/12. My bag will be complete. I will book some tee times for next week. i took advantage of Prime days and ordered some Vice Pro Soft golf balls to try based on the latest MGS Golf Ball Test.

I hope to start my running again this week as well. Time to get after it! I’m embracing the mindset that “60 is the new 40”. 

Wishing all a wonderful day!

Good morning spies!

It's a windy and rainy morning in Chicago. My fiancée and I are headed to South Bend for the Notre Dame vs. USC game. Our initial plan was to attend the game, but with high temps in the 40s tonight with wind and rain, we decided to opt out. 

It will still be a fun day on campus as we're meeting up with some friends who are in town. Since we're not going into the stadium, we're also able to bring our dog out there for the day as opposed to getting a sitter.

I hope that everyone golfing today hits 'em straight and that everyone else has a great Saturday!

You ain't kidding, the times I've seen good  bucks in the woods have been some of the most memorable. I never was able to bag one bow hunting, but I remember the adrenaline rush. 

It's fun seeing what all comes around while sitting in a stand. I saw foxes, bobcat, coyote, raccoons, turkey, and lots of squirrel.

Good morning everyone. Up early to get to Arbor Links for another loop to start my day. But chilly start to the mornjng but the misty rain has stopped. Prepared for some wet and numb feet by the time I get to 18 but being on the course in any capacity is a good time. Hope everyone has an equally great day ahead.

Saturday… a frantic friendly day of family, fun, or in my case… fleeing!!
   Yesterday, the round, sans the wedges was semi-successful. Still need to pull the trigger on new wedges. Hoping  that sooner than later the Edison testing gets to a point for a comparison with the Indie’s.  
    A lot of buzz in my area about the solar eclipse today. Evidently somehow it has gotten back to the “ Yielder of Awesome “ that I “might” have stated that a solar eclipse is like what happens when the SHE being enters a room. While legally I have plausible deniability, the leader of the pack was not interested in any possible defense on my past.  Thus, my current activity of having fled  for the day to a neighboring town’s golf course. Met a young father and son leaving the practice tee having a father /son discussion……EF62DBEF-E7BD-4B25-86D4-0FADC7D500C2.jpeg.553dfa647632921c57173b72830b1e1d.jpeg

Enjoy your Saturday….. Remember my honored friends, all we can do is make the best of what we can…...Speaking of cans….3EFB8B8F-D8C5-4C33-9898-33CC7D808A10.jpeg.ae2ae7e84e66c8c3816b4279b76deabf.jpeg
