Forum Community Calls

[musicalmedicine]

I gotta find a way to make it out of the office early enough to make these! Sounds like today was one for the books.

I really enjoyed the call today and like @TJ Hall I'm a little traumatized by the ending of the call. 

It's been amazing how many wonderful testing opportunities the forum staff have been able to provide this year and there's still more to go. 

 

I leave early and I hear this... you guys are not boosting the confidence I have in the staff

[OdinSnipes414]

Not sure if this has been answered! Are these live calls recorded and posted elsewhere, like on YT or somewhere similar, for those of us who don’t make it but would like to watch?

Only the Live Q&A. 

I am working on a new fix for posting to YouTube, but it is taking some efforts.

The others are posted above at the top of the page (although I think I have a few I need to upload)

Perfect thank you !

 Going to be a work in progress, but I will working at adding these to our YouTube channel over the coming months. All the Live Q&A will be under the same folder and if/when we start recording a portion of the Community Calls we will do that as a separate folder.

Awesome stuff Jamie - can’t wait to go back and watch a couple previous shows (including the one with Stephanie)!

Just finished listening to the Titleist GT call…this is awesome stuff!  Sad didn’t get to listen live, but appreciate you taking the time to record and upload!

The Community Call was another good call today with a lot of various topics covered and some "new to the call" faces seen and voices heard.

Thanks to Jamie, Matt, and Ben, @GolfSpy_APH, @GolfSpy SAM, and @GolfSpy_BEN for their continued work and support to make these another way for the forum members to actually interact.

Sorry to have missed out.  Was able to get out and play a round in the sauna.... I mean heat.  

[Rob Person]

Was a tad late, but a good call for the last 30 minutes!

[EasyPutter]

It was a good community call yesterday though getting the link on the app was delayed so I was not able to get connected until about 10 minutes into the call.  I checked the app and the banner link was not there as early as it was last week when a brief glance was all that was needed to touch and get the prompt to connect.  Yesterday before I left the parking lot, the app did not have a banner yet, and words on the phone are often too small for me to navigate easily with my older eyes without an up close inspection of the screen.  So I kept checking the app enroute to my evening activity and on highways until the banner appeared about 10 minutes after the meeting time and connected in quickly.  I saw some new but familiar faces and my old friends too and that is always something I look forward to.

What I thought was great as I passed through the historic district of Tonawanda where the road passes over the western end of the Erie Canal where it meets its Niagara River section, Matt @GolfSpy SAM tagged my feed for the group as I was showing the back camera for the view out the windshield and it occurred to me I need a way to point out what is in sight as the highway follows the upper Niagara River, passes the Love Canal toxic waste site and other industrial parts of Niagara Falls that made it literally the Power House of the nation including the power transmission lines from the hydro plant (that the highway passes over), the bridge to Canada, and the view over the escarpment of US and Canada separated by the lower Niagara River to Lake Ontario.  Lastly the turn off for Fort Niagara that dates back to the 1600s and the gorgeous Niagara Frontier Country Club where I have unboxed both putters I tested in previous years. 

Anyway, if you were watching, that is what you saw for the 45 minutes I was on the call before I got dumped off for hanging on to the end LOL

I have the link bookmarked in my browser;  unless they change the call link I don't need to look at the forum.

Yes it was fun. I have been having trouble lately with my internet connection. It comes and goes. I have Spectrum and if they do not fix their little issues they will be getting the boot. Last night part of it was me. I could hear everyone else but could not talk. That was on me I had the speaker muted on the laptop. It was my second one. I was briefly on 2 weeks ago in the middle of the storm and then we lost the internet. Looking forward to giving it another go this Thursday. Really looking forward to the planned Myrtle trip and meeting other Spies. I have been lucky to meet and play golf with @JohnSmalls and @Tom the Golf Nut in the past

Looking forward to meeting you as well.   Maybe we can even do a trip to your golf club storage location and see the collection

Love the community calls…you guys are awesome!  Look forward to these each week.

[William P]

Another enjoyable call today with plenty of general discussion to keep it moving.

[sirchunksalot]

I really enjoyed the community call today and it was nice to see a long time member and first time caller @RoverRick come in to the call.

Thanks. I was texting with @William P today, and he told me about it, so since it was convenient I decided to hop on. I doubt I make a habit of it, because usually, I’m playing golf at that time, or running around so that I can play golf the next day at that time. 

[Rob Person]

I know you guys missed my witty banter and annoying questions today.  

Work was a bear. 

There are a few things I look forward to, amd the CC is one of.them

[rkj427]

Great call today with over 20 members participating. A lot of good discussion and topics covered during the time I was able to also participate. Had to leave early to get some work items done for our event on Saturday, but still it is always great to hear and read the comments in the chat from those that participated. Enjoyed the comments provided by Matt, @GolfSpy SAM related to the social media golfers and tournament.

The regulars will tell you that not only will I login and show my view out the windshield while driving to a golf event but I will login and show my play while on a course, started last year when our friend Jason @sirchunksalot was unable to get out on course due to recovering from an injury so I was able to share an hour of my round with him and everyone else who was no doubt entertained with the way I golf

Following up on the community call discussion of LAB putters.  This is interesting…

A lot of too social media golfers are using LAB and putting well.

I was genuinely surprised at how many of the participants of the Creators Classic were sporting L.A.B. putters, I didn't count but I knew it was a quite a few. It's good to see them getting represented.

I will admit I really fell out of love with the MEZZ MAX, it's still good but of the 6 I have right now it's definitely 4th. Still ahead of a PING and Cobra.

How's the Link working for you? 

Personally, I've not hit enough putts with a L.A.B. to have an idea of how they would perform for me. I did hit one a few months ago at a PGASS and liked it and was surprised with how good it felt. I also tried the Armlock version and that was a huge nope. It wasn't as awkward feeling as the Lean Lock Derek let me play around with at Kingsmill, but it just didn't feel right at all.

The only way I would like my Link more is if it was a double wide.... Which they don't make. So it's darn near perfect. 

I have really gotten into a nice groove and give the feel exceptional.

The PGASS has had a counter balanced lefty DF3 that rolls amazing and if it were almost $700 it may have made it home.

Mason Nutt has been using a LAB for quite awhile. I remember the episode where he brought put that monstrous, orange, UFO looking putter.
