So far just the book "The Physics of Golf." Interesting read. Might get a bit more later, not sure. The book makes a pretty compelling argument that I don't actually need any more equipment until I've got my swing under control...

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

Didn't really need much golf related this year, but I got 2 dozen Pro V 1 X; I also got a new Kodak mini camcorder, which I plan to use for my golf swing.

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas.

-Also asked for a Warrior Custom Golf 60° Lob Wedge. My mom ended up finding they were having people test their clubs so I got a Lob Wedge, Sand Wedge, and Gap Wedge for free and I just have to test their Driver and 3 Wood. They also gave me a dozen balls. Love their balls, just too pricey for me($29.99 a dozen). I'll probably buy the 3 Wood, I love the thing. Not sure about the Driver though, it didn't impress me. Still, the Driver gave me 15 yards to my drive and I was actually hitting a slight fade compared to a wicked slice. Wasn't exactly what I was looking for, though.

New set of irons, a hybrid, 18 balls, 200 tees, and a WSU golf set. Now as soon as get my 2nd daughter out, gonna try them out.

My parents gave me $500 to spend on golf clubs so I'm going to the new PGA Superstore that just opened up close to me. Gonna be a woman and be there all day.

I was as surprised as anybody that I got it because we are a mid-middle class family. We have enough to get by pretty well, with a little left over if need be. I didn't expect this I'm so happy

i got i don't even know how many golf balls from my dad and grandmother. at least eight dozen. evidently a local sporting goods store had nike power distance golf balls on sale (i've told my dad i prefer nike power SOFT, but he evidently misheard and thinks i prefer power DISTANCE, but i wasn't going to correct him or complain). anyway, he pretty much wiped out their entire inventory. golf balls can't go bad over time, can they? haha, there's just no way i'm going to lose that many balls. it'll be the end of next year before i even get halfway through them.

from my mother, i got byron nelson's autobiography, "how i played the game," shell's wonderful world of golf - palmer vs sanders vs beard, and then shell's wonderful world of golf - snead vs nicklaus. (i fancy myself a bit of a golf historian and positively thrive on watching/reading about matches/tournaments that were played anywhere between 40 and 60 years ago).

i was super duper excited to get the snead vs nicklaus dvd. i'd actually just been wondering a week or so ago who would win between them in a long-driving contest. in this match, snead is 50 and nicklaus is 23, and nicklaus outdrives snead on every hole by about 15-20 yards. you can tell that irked snead to no end, haha. they even mention at one point "snead's not accustomed to being outdriven." a great little dvd.

    • Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.  
    • Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.       
    • Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026. 
    • Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?      
    • Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
