"I was a little disappointed that my handshake was rebuffed as [Christina] left the show. There comes a point when you just have to let things go. If I had lost, I would have been really upset, but I can guarantee I would have shaken hands with my competitor. At some point, sportsmanship has to enter in and the rivalry has to end."

**** Lori. Too bad it's not an official blog - i.e. one on which you can leave COMMENTS - because she'd be inundated with really hateful ones.

People do leave comments on her "confessional" videos.

FYI, many of the Big Break girls (Lori, Kim, Adrienne, Christina, Susan, Elizabeth, Courtney) are playing in a Duramed Futures tourney right now:

Good stuff. I was checking out their season results on the Futures Tour yesterday, and Kim was doing the best. FWIW, Susan needs to learn damage control... she made 4 doubles today en route to a 79 (+7). Bri Vega (BB-6 winner and BB-7 competitor) is also in the field.

What's in my bag:

Driver: R7 CGB Max, regular shaft
4-wood and 7-wood: :: Launcher, regular shafts
4-iron to A-wedge: X-20, regular steel shafts56- and 60-degree wedge: forged, stiff steel shafts, vintage finish, MD groovesPutter: Circa '62, No. 7, steel shaft, 35"Ball: NXT Tour or ProV1(x)...

You can't tell who won the Big Break except that it's probably not Sophie Sandolo. Kim Welch and Lori Atsedes have both played nine events:

http://www.duramedfuturestour.com/Stats/Statistics.asp

Sophie isn't even on the list.

If one of them had played more events, you could almost assume that they won Big Break because all of their entry fees are paid, so they'd likely play more events.

Oh well.

Looking at Lori's Futures tour page, it makes me wonder what she does for a living because it's certainly not golf. She's earned between $2000 and $28000 per year for the last 15 years (looks like an average of about 10-15k). Factoring in travel, entry fees, etc. she has to be losing some serious $$ on golf. I wouldn't be surprised if my net outlay each year for golf is lower than hers (does that make me a "professional" golfer too?). Of course, maybe she has a sponsor (b**ch's r us?).

Dude! Did you do that?

Nope, I didn't do it. I'm just happy to see that someone appears to have picked up what I was laying down.

Golf tends to pay you back and Lori will get her's, hopefully on the show for all to see. I don't want to see a Lori/Sophie final. Kim just may be our last hope, there's still time for her to turn from the Dark Side.... jmoc

      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.
