The most important piece of equipment in my bag is my Sky Caddie GPS. Knowing the yardage to the front back and middle of the green has taken all the guesswork out which has removed those little voices of doubt I get in my head. I have gone from a 12 to a 7 in the 6 months since I got it.

My Boccieri Heavy B3-M putter is my best purchase so far. 3-putts were almost expected before, and I used to get really shaky over 3 footers. This putter lets me take aim and pull the trigger. There's really no other way to explain it. It's harder to judge longer distances, but I'll give that up to make the short ones any day.

When I first started playing a few years ago, I began experimenting with putters, acquiring quite a number of them as I learned that mallets worked better for me than blades. Like many players, I struggled with a consistent putting stroke. Eventually, I determined a relatively heavy, high MOI, center shafted putter would help me keep the putter head from twisting and assist my back and through stroke.

I discovered the Bobby Grace putters, just as Grace inked a deal with MacGregor. I ended up ordering one, by quite an unintended coincidence, from Mr. Grace, himself. After changing putters frequently and, additionaly, almost every other club in my bag at least once, I have now kept this putter in my bag longer than any club I now own.

While I flirt with the idea of switching to the new Rossa Spider and, although I love the Bettinardi BB-1 and Cameron putters I own and still putt with on the carpet in my home, it is the Grace MacGregor I return to with the same love and ardor that Ben and Ganja have for Lorena.

Ahhhh, like Tristan und Isolde: true love.

The driver listed in my sig... it is a knockoff with an older UST proforce Gold shaft... but I hit it like no other. Total cost was $125... about 1/3 the price of the Sasquatch when it first came out, and it performs and looks better. No ugly gray half moon... instead the top is one color... blue. Fantastic club... makes me feel guilty playing a knockoff that performs so well.

I recently picked up a used 17* Nickent 3DX (orig model) hybrid for $40. I've tried TM Burner, Mizuno Clk, Adams and others and they've never been right. Too high, too stiff, always too something. In several rounds with the 3DX, I've found my 220 yard club -- sweet off the tee and easy from the fairway. Just swing easy.

For about the price of a dozen balls, I've got a winning club for tight par fours and long approach shots. Very pleased.

    • Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.
    • 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?
