[Scotty Cameron 2020 Masters Stand Bag]

The bag and the display are so good. My goodness

[Any theories as to why there are virtually no left-handed female pro golfers?]

Being left handed and golfing righty is a big advantage .. Johnny Miller and Curtis Strange are good examples 

 

Being left handed does not mean golfing left side

 

Phil is right handed and golfs left

 

Canada .. so many lefties as half the hockey players shoot left side.  When I started golf I wanted to hit left side as that was my “hockey side”

[Your favorite golf photos, taken by you or of you...]

@Argonne69 you should have started your own photo thread .. you have a lot of pics, some cool ones

 

My total course count is closing in on 500 myself

[So Psyched! ISI-S Back in the Bag]

I have ISI nickel lob and sand wedges and love them

 

Played it ISI-S for years and the guy I sold them too traded them back to me 20 years later.. which I flipped for other clubs last summer

 

Have just grabbed some BeCu eye2 irons and those will be my old school Ping set going forward

Pics?

I will add my drunken college golf team stories as well

Let’s hear some d3 stories

[Fubuki's - still relevant??]

Nice ... keep us posted

[Srixon ZX7 Iron Review]

These are becoming the 2021 version of eye 2’s

[Cardoustie WITB(s)]

Well the shop I frequent basically flipped my i3+ blades into a set I’ve wanted for a while.  Very solid condition for their age and over length.  I used to play the SW and LW

 

4-PW

 

I figure these will be [art of my too cool for school retro PING bag with a Rapture OG driver (Oban 65.06) and a Rapture v2 4w with Fuji Kamo 660Tr, Tisi Tec 7w, Ping Darby with Ti Pixels putter and lastly a set of BeCu Zing 2 wedges

 

 

[Short game strategy & management: beyond the basics]

Here’s a timely example

 

trying to track down grind info on the old 64.07 so I can build a new 60 

 

contact my guys at Titleist Canada and low and behold late yesterday afternoon I have answers and emails going back and forth with Bob Vokey himself !

 

I’m going to get him to build me a 60 bent to 61 that has a straighter leading edge like my sm2 56 TVD M but with a sole grind I like for how I play pitches and chips.  I have the matching 60 TVD M but want it a little different appearance and bounce wise

 

Sent him a pic of my current wedges down here and he replied back with “I love that pic of your wedges, some oldies and goodies!”

 

Here’s the pic

 

I guess my point is if you know thru trail and error what works for you there are strokes to be saved !!!

[Short game strategy & management: beyond the basics]

I think players should pay attention to wedge grind and bounce configs

 

Not Wrx guys, they know

 

But avg avid golfers have no idea how to optimize a set to get the most out of varying conditions

 

Eg, top 10 senior Am in the world plays different wedges in Florida .. more bounce and diff grinds

Look forward to following along

 

General comment:  Can’t believe a 10 cap could play D3

[Avoiding Snap Hooks]

Watch Mike Malaska tipping the shaft vids

 

flat shoulder turn, coming from way inside, lots of face rotation ... so hard to time up

 

you need a downswing delivery that is simpler

 

i used to have that snipe miss ... hated it 

[How many mulligan's would you need to compete on the PGA Tour?]

Didn’t Tom Watson famously say if he could hit twice every time he’d be in the high 50’s a lot?  Or was it just putting twice?

 

I believe it, that’s a 2 man scramble +8 cap talking

[Tiger Car Accident. ***All Content Subject to Moderation***]

I believe he will recover ... and golf ... and win again and the media will be all “second coming of Hogan!!”

 

[How many mulligan's would you need to compete on the PGA Tour?]

In many cases, You guys are assuming a mully is a stroke it seems, what if your mully also sucks?

 

I know I played Muirfield Village and shot high 70’s from the tips with two weak water balls.  Call it 76 with two better wedges that didn’t creep back into water

 

Lehman won there one year with four 67’s in a row !!!

 

To compete I need to be 68 or 69.  I need 8 shots a round.  The Q for me is how many re-do’s are required to get those 8 shots ?  14?

 

i’ve gone around Summerlin from the tips in 74. But again, now I need 5 better a day.  10 Mullies? 

[Tiger Woods vs Tom Brady > Dominance]

The NFL is ONE entity, not 32 teams remember that. Thanks Rodger, FU Rodger ! Brady played in the Offense rules era of football ever and he won, good for him, but the rules and the NFL helped (SEE Tuck rule ) and never wonder why they love golden boy Tom Brady. He cheated, his coach cheated but he won, Brady is more like the Lance Armstrong of Football.   

 

 

This was only the 3rd blowout superbowl in the last 21 years. Blowouts equal, turning off the game, bad ratings are bad for the NFL. 

 

6 billion was bet on the super bowl, does everybody know the NFL is vested in keeping the game close ?

 

Tiger is amazing and his level of dominance will never be questioned.

 

Cheated ?   I think you meant to use the word “caught”

 

They are all cheating, at all highest levels of all the big sports.  Baseball ... sign stealing etc etc

 

Cue up Ben Johnson and Lance Armstrong

 

I’ve heard a local top golf guy use the old phrase “if you aren’t cheating you are cheating yourself” ... sad but true

[Finau Driver Swing/Distance.]

Longest on tour if he wanted to be

[TIGER - FINISHED????]

Backs are tricky

 

I have had 3 procedures myself and there are days I am fine and days I can’t get off the couch

 

if he has degenerative disk disease ... you fuse some, chop pieces out of others ... and the discs above and below the fusion take on stress and can then blow out or weaken themselves

 

lucky back surgery guys have one bad disk ... fixable easily as the others are all still solid

[Why do so many pros use the 46 52 56 60 degree wedge gaps?]

45-50-55-60 is my favourite wedge spacing right now

 

 

[Cardoustie WITB(s)]

Went around in 76 from the tips at a tight hilly track north of here called Blackstone.  12 GIR based on two tee balls getting ridiculous sideways hops into hazards.  2 birds

 

highlight ... two par 3 six iron shots with high draws from 189 and 193 that would make doves cry

 

Side note: i think these are the longest blades I’ve ever hit !  
 

I’m debating my pw moving to 45* though, what I’m used to in 919t and keeps short irons in 4 degree gaps
