Down For the Count

It looks like I am out of commission for a while. I was playing in a Quota game yesterday, and my left foot started hurting me. By the time we made the turn, it REALLY started hurting. When I finished the 14th it was almost unbearable. I couldn't get any weight onto my front foot making it difficult to make a golf swing. I apologized to my partners and gracefully bowed out. I assumed that the neuroma on my left foot was acting up, but fortunately, that is not the case. Fortunately, I have a gigantic blister on the bottom of my left foot. I've walked many rounds, but I never got a blister let alone one this large. I will spare everyone and not post a picture. I am wondering if this is from walking, or if it's a sign that my weight is too much towards my toes when I'm swinging since the blister is beside the pad. Who knows, but I it doesn't look like I will be playing this week. 😥

It’s likely more to do with walking than your golf swing… no?

I honestly don't know. I walk all the time. I have yet to ride in a cart all year. It's odd that our of nowhere I would get a blister. There's nothing different about my socks or shoes. I find it equally unbelievable that swinging alone would cause this. My son even mowed the grass this week, so that isn't it.

Thanks! Me too.

I'm afraid to ask what the duct tape is for. :scared:

Wrap up the foot covering the blister!

I don't know about duct tape, but I might consider athletic tape. 🙂

It's almost certainly not the swing.  I spent a good 4-5 years with weight forward while working on other parts of the swing and I didn't get anything like you're describing.

More importantly, I hope you feel better and can return to action soon.  Will we still see you here to watch the UK British Open and the FedEx Cup playoffs with us?

I doubt that I do much other than watch golf this week to make sure this heals good. Well, that and the remnants of Berry moving in midweek. That’s a good thing though, because my lawn is thirsty. It will help remove the temptation to play too.

Fortunately, it is doing much better today. I am continuing to rest it. Thankfully, the forecast for the next 3 days is not conducive to golf as the remnants of Berry move through our area. I swear things things follow me wherever I go!

You will never see me move to the state up north! 😝

I do miss my annual trips to Oakland Hills though.

      Titleist GT280 (Mini Driver)

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      One thing I've noticed with Mini Drivers is that the manufacturers seem like they keep their quantities somewhat limited.  The last two TaylorMade Mini's and the Callaway AI Smoke Mini were sold out quickly.

      Huh? That's the niche of these mini-drivers. They can still work off the tee and off the fairway. They're designed for and work for both things, which is all that blurb says. You can see from the photos that it's a bit of a deeper face, which I find is more important off the tee than the fairway.

      This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.

      No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
