The biggest snake I've ever seen "in real life" was on the 13th green at Bear's Best in Las Vegas. Fortunately, nobody in my group hit their ball near it. But we gave it plenty of room and kept one eye on it while putting. 

So my wife and I are walking into the pro shop at a course on Marco Island back in the 90s. We step over a big black hose that’s lying on the cement path. I look back and the hose moves off into the bushes. I did NOT tell her otherwise we would not have played.

Found this little guy at Southern Pines when I almost stepped on him in some pine straw and grasses near a tee box. I thought he was a bottle cap or something as his shell looked to be quite different

You are wise beyond your years. 
That was certainly the right decision. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

This guy was just hanging out yesterday. That’s my ball on the fringe in the background and he stayed there the whole time as I walked around the bunker to the right and up to my ball.

Saw a pack of coyotes, too (heard them first), but couldn’t take a picture because they were on the next hole over and in the woods so it would have come out blurry anyway.

Okay, I've crossed that course off my bucket list...

Tough break to get an unplayable lie…on the tee box.

I played last week in Chino Hills (Los Serranos Golf Club) and saw two hawks chasing each other. One of them had a snake that the other was trying to get.

We’ve had 20 pups of these guys around our course so far in the last month, including a den next to my school’s hitting area (where this was taken). Keeping the bunnies and squirrels at bay.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen baby turkeys (chicks) so small. Obviously, they’re small when they’re just hatched… I just don’t think I’ve seen any so newly hatched in the last 20 years or so.

This little guy just looked at me as I walk by him about 10 yds away this morning.

Was he carrying a box with ACME on it?

"Deer & Fox Hide & Seek" - I recorded this a year ago. Too lazy until now to share. The two featured actors were completely oblivious to my presence.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
