Thanks mate, appreciate it. The food situation is made even worse by the fact I was supposed to be going to a seriously good restaurant tomorrow for anniversary dinner😢

Wishing you the best. Happy anniversary. Sorry it has to be “celebrated” under these circumstances. 🙏🏼❤️‍🩹

Morning spies.
 

I read the article on the MGS site this morning about the whole “golf attire” controversy that’s come up in recent years. Got me thinking on my way to work… 

personally I think should be at the clubs discretion as to what is “acceptable” to wear, but it made me think of something else. 
 

what needs to change with the game? Why does it feel like all rounds take way longer than 4 ish hours and courses are ram packed these days?

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!

@Peaksy68 wishing you a speedy recovery!

Gloomy rainy day here in CNY which will likely carry into St. Paddy's day weekend. Watching The Players all day with only 1 meeting for work so it will be a "heads down" day for me. I hope everyone has a great day and an even better weekend!

For those who take part this weekend, Slainté!

I think slow play is way too accepted. My round at the Old Course, which was completely booked that day just like every other day, took less than four hours. Only had to wait on the tee boxes of the two par 3s. If the mindset is play quickly, and courses enforce it, it can be done. A lot of courses over there have adopted "ready golf" -- you go to your ball, and hit it, and they don't worry about who is farther from the hole.

I agree. I don’t think anyone playing these local course get paid to shoot low scores. Ready golf so long as it’s not impeding a playing partner. I’m fine with things being a bit more “traditional” on the greens. 
 

I think part of this comes from newer people taking multiple shots from the same spot instead of maybe dropping 1 and then moving on. 
 

that along with the dreaded “I might hit them” comments

I got some new irons in recently. When I received the package, it was busted open with the heads sticking out. I'm lucky that there wasn't any cosmetic damage. However, as I'm hitting them, I notice it doesn't sit right on the ground to my eye. I'm also hitting a lot of pull shots. I take them to my local club guy tonight to have lofts and lies checked and my suspicions were confirmed. The whole set was anywhere from 1° to 3 ° upright from standard and a couple of the lofts were off. I got them bent back tonight just in time for my first scramble of the year tomorrow so no adjustment period lol. Hopefully I can figure it out on the range beforehand. I had issues with FedEx for the entire duration of this shipment. Also arrived 3 days late(2 day express shipping) and delivered to the wrong location. First time I've ever had a club shipping experience nearly that bad. The new clubs feel great though. Mizuno 223s. I can't wait to get my first round in with them at the correct specs!ce8ecaccbc4a2e2a2c8d086036ac8865.jpg

Moral of the story: always get loft/lie checks on new clubs. Mine was likely a shipping issue, but there are plenty of stories of clubs coming straight from the store shelf or OEM with incorrect specs. You can also effect loft/lie slowly over time just through normal play or frequent travel.
