Who in the world would buy that, it’s trashed

I did....

and the club works fine.  Much the same reason I can still walk, despite having no toes on the left foot.  I was ready to say "take it off doc, its trashed (the foot that is)."  His response, "Let's see, I think we can do something there."  I trusted his vision for my foot and its healing.  That was 5 years ago and I can do 99% of what I've always done.  I have learned that just because something is less than perfect is no reason to trash.   Then again - one man's trash is another man's treasure.

You better get it fixed quickly. If you don’t, those Ping turbulators won’t work to give you extra club head speed and ball speed. 😏

I am thinking I have the "new, unauthorized by Ping improved turbulators"!   Who knows, it may prevent it from ever slicing or hooking a ball, no matter who's swinging the club....😁

Update on how the "new, unauthorized by Ping improved turbulators" are working....maybe the "lower deck" is creating ample downforce that is causing the ball to come off the club truer.  All I know is that "trashed" club put the ball within 6' of the hole Saturday on #17, a decent length par 4 for me, that resulted in a birdie.   AND I am sure no one will want to steal such a dented club...😁!

If it ain’t broke…I mean, even if it’s broke but works, then don’t fix it!

If it hits balls to within 6 feet of the pin, all I need to know is your address and password for your alarm system.  I am on my way for a free club 🤣

Hear ya!  BTW - the club delivered again yesterday on another par 4.  We were about 160 to the middle of the green, which for me is an easy 4h, and I put the ball about 20’ from the hole, straight uphill putt.  Lag putt to w/in 2’ for par.

    • It isn't about maintaining focus 100% of the time when you are on the course. It is getting focus back for the shot at hand. Even PGA tour players will chat with their caddies or opponents about non-golf stuff, but then lock in. It is hard to try to constantly be 100% locked in for 4+ hours.  Totally normal thing to happen. You really only need a few moments of focus.  This is where a pre-shot routine helps. Maybe you need to add something that gets the focus back.  I just focus on every shot like a puzzle that needs solved. I like solving puzzle and problems. So, I try to be curious. Which then enhances focus. I think it lets me take each shot at hand. It lets me have the down time between shots. What I do is just get to the ball, and then start gathering information. Yardage, lie, wind, where is the pin at, etc.. Then I figure out what I want to do.  It's not like I can't shut off the thoughts and focus when I need to. I only need to focus for a few minutes before each shot.
