The Wager...

[Pigems]

It's time to give that s*** up, and concentrate on Golf

[Pigems]

But in reality, I had to stop playing hockey for basically the same reasons. I like not having to rely on a team in golf though, no one to blame but myself lol

Just turn to your invisible partner and start the heated "conversation" each time you hit a poor shot. I guarantee no opponent will ask you to pay up, or offer to play you again... ever.

As of today it's been 4 weeks since I last played golf, this ****ing sucks!! Don't ever brake your hand!!!

Damn, sorry to hear that! How did it happen?

(I'm pretending to ignore the likelihood that you've already rehashed this to death here )

You're in Nova Scotia - doesn't the weather prevent you from playing? 30* doesn't seem like great golf weather. I'll play in the 40s but 30s and wind is too cold for most.

Yeah outdoor golf is done for the year here in good old NS, but the sim golf season was just getting into full swing and sim league was starting. I'm still 2/3 weeks from being "Allowed" to play.

I broke it attempting to remove drywall without a hammer, nearly 16 years of construction experience, you would think I would know better by now lol.

Ouch... I'm assuming there was a heroic "hand through wall" involved... hope that heals up quickly!

[Gauchograd99]

We all know the truth about his hand... he went "Street Fighter" on the wall to give him an excuse to NOT buy something that was worth $1500 and on sale for $2.00, but would have cost him the wager. Now THAT'S commitment!

[Pigems]

Scotty Cameron offered to sell me his very first putter for $1 and I couldn't take it anymore

[Pigems]

I've been following this club since shortly after the Wager started lol, it just keeps getting relisted for a lower price. It would go so nicely with my other 2 old Titleist wedges

May I should leave the page open on the laptop for my wife to find lol

Beat mode was switched to "on."

[Pigems]

Well I finally did it this morning, I played 9 holes with the Piglet. Didn't bring a driver and only took 3/4 easy/smooth swings, no "going after it" type swings. It felt some good to finally hit a ball again and I had no pain. Though I did thin a few shots, most likely in fear in hitting one fat lol

[LittlePoison1980]

Good to hear you're putting that paw back to its intended use

[Pigems]

Thank you sir, there was most definitely some rust present after a 4 week layoff. But man it was nice to actually play, well sim golf anyway. Couple more weeks and I'll be able to play full out again

[Pigems]

Holes 1, 2 and 3

[Pigems]

Holes 3, 4 and 5

[Pigems]

Holes 7, 8 and 9

[Pigems]

This is the Piglets swing from today with his Nickent 3DX 6h.

Just put a bid on my very first X-Flex shaft, I guess I'm Officially a WRXer now lol. Well if I win it anyways. A Pro Launch Blue 65 X Flex, .350 tip(adapter is on the way), 46" uncut shaft for $10.00 if my bid holds up. I'll know around 10pm tomorrow

PIgs,

Really happy to see you swinging the clubs again, even though you weren't at full strength. Also, thank you for sharing pictures of the Piglet. His swing is somewhat reminiscent of your own (especially the finish).

I'm interested to see your thoughts on the Prolaunch shaft. I've had the shaft in both fairway woods and drivers over the years and was pleased with the higher ball-flight it produced.

When you bid on an eBay auction do you simply set the highest amount you are willing to spend and leave the auction? I tried my hand at 'sniping' last year and found the whole ordeal incredibly stressful.

[PeanutsDaddy]

Just practiced my putting for an hour. Trying a left hand low technique to see if I can release the putter head a wee bit more effectively. Early results are encouraging, but boy does the putter feel weird in my hands.

Ah, so getting one in X. Cool. I guess we'll have to wait to
see how you like it. I'll go out on a limb and say you'll like
it. Remember, butt trim don't tip trim.

Sniping is fun once you get used to it. Most are stressed
out at first and bid too early, lol. I go at about 6-7 seconds.

I'm used to it now. BTW, it only precludes another manual
bid. You can still lose to an auto bid or a sniping program.

TYVM sir, its funny how his swing is reminisent of mine eh lol, I will be sure to post my findings with the new shaft, im also going to pull the shaft from my Diablo Octane and try it as well, its a PX 6.0 but plays a fair bit softer then that. Yes Conrad, i went with an X to start figureing if i didnt like it i could sell it on here easier and get a Stiff instead lol. Im hoping i really like it though and you guys reviews have me thinking i will. I also went through the PX, Pro Graffaloy and ai cant remember the other ones fitting program and two of the three recommended the PL Blue as well. im stoked to try out if i win it

Thanks for all the kind words and the help/info guys. Its been a looong 4 weeks but im back now(well, kind of lol)

Im not much of a sniper lol, i just make a bid and wait to see if it holds up most times, unless i REALLY want something. Ive used the auto bid before but its not as much fun as winning straight up

Wont be any tip trimming. Gonna try it at 46" first with no trim. Then maybe .5" off the butt if i feels its too long still. Id like it to play around 45" or so as a finished club.

I've got a guy now from Kijiji trying to trade me a set of callaway prototype mb's for my Titleist cb's. Not going to do it but it sure is tempting lol

That's a cool sounding name for a town... Kijiji. Just remember: toe hits + MB + cold weather = pain.

Now you should be guaranteed to avoid temptation.
