Over in [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/t/29843/the-massachusetts-thread/0_30]another thread[/URL] it looked like we were getting enough people interested in a New England-area outing sometime this Spring or Summer (or both, weather pending), so here's the thread for discussion. I figure we'll hammer out who's interested in attending, then decide when and where. Obviously, nothing has to be decided right away since there's over a foot of snow outside more of our windows. :~( I put this in the New England Golfers group (which apparently exists and I created), that way I, and anyone who wants to be a Group Leader, can send PMs to the whole group. Anyone can join the group and participate in the thread. If you're wondering, "hey, how does this type of thread work?" or "what should I expect?," here's a few threads to check out: SoCal http://thesandtrap.com/t/70859/tst-socal-winter-outing-feb-16-2014-goose-creek/0_30 http://thesandtrap.com/t/67969/tst-socal-golfers-fall-2013-outing-10-13-oak-quarry-riverside-ca http://thesandtrap.com/t/66256/thesandtrap-socal-golfers-summer-2013-outing-discussion/0_30 http://thesandtrap.com/t/63734/thesandtrap-socal-golfers-spring-2013-outing-discussion http://thesandtrap.com/t/63055/december-16th-socal-golfers-golf-tourney-now-sponsored-by-callaway-golf/0_30 NorCal http://thesandtrap.com/t/69542/tst-norcal-golfers-outing/0_30 Pitt/Erie/Cleveland http://thesandtrap.com/t/67534/first-annual-pittsburgh-erie-cleveland-get-together-august-3/0_30 Anyway, post if you're interested, then we can start thinking about dates and courses. :banana:

Is this thing dead? I'm just wondering, because if it's close enough, I could make a day trip of it. It sounds like everyone has a lot of fun at these things, so I'd like to join in, too.

Definitely not dead! I think the fact that I posted it at 1AM kind of prevented it from gaining any momentum. Plus it's still so cold and snowy, golf is the last thing on everyone's minds.

Haha that's precisely the reason golf is on my mind.

Wth I never saw this post... I will plan on coming.

*That comment should kill the thread for at least another two weeks...

I'll keep an eye on this one. I am in MA often visiting the in laws and we are trying to move up there once we can find work. So if the timing works out I'll definitely try to make it.

I could just move it there if that's easier. More people might see it.

That would take it out of the groups.

I'll link to it.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
