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"

A series of lessons - I guess my wife is a mind reader.

And of course a few dozen balls and golf shirts.

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.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

I got a dozen golf balls, a new Calloway bag and an eval session at Golftec.

I also got this from my girlfriend's parents:

I've never seen this before but it looks like a really fun way to practice putting indoors. I was majorly impressed. Can't wait to try it out next week when I get back home.

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.

    • However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.
    • I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.
    • Wordle 1,035 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟩⬜ 🟨🟨🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Just lipped out that Eagle putt, easy tab-in Birdie
    • Day 106 - Worked on chipping/pitching. Focus was feeling the club fall to the ground as my body rotated through. 
    • Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
