@ Edwin watts Golf in Tampa, New2007 Callaway Fusion Wide Sole irons, 3 - PW, graphite shaft, stiff.

I traded in my very used Callaway Fusion irons 3 - SW + $360, for a total price of $600.....they used to sell for $1,300.

I looked at the 2009 wide sole fusions, but do not like the wider soles......I really like the older 2007 ones.

Went to look at a new driver for my son and drove home with a new Adams A7 3i hybrid for myself. Seemed to hit it better than my Adams A4. My son gets my A4.

Last night, I tested wedges for over an hour. I came home with two Mizuno MP-Rs in the Black Nickel: 56.10 and 60.9. They had a great closeout deal. I had read the forums for hours on end, did a wedge fitting on the Titleist, Cleveland, and Scratch websites and I am still not sure I made the best choices in terms of bounce. I am a sweeper slider who plays very few soft, fluffy bunker courses. Whatever that may be worth. I just know that hitting shots with an MP-R feels like butter.

    • I don't think the viewer at home can pick up on pace of play, unless the announcers mention something. The telecast has the luxury of bouncing from player to player, which ensures we the viewer always have something to watch.  I think we would notice pace of play if the camera just followed one golfer for an entire round. Or  You were actually golfing behind the slow group Or  The slow group is the last to only group left to finish the tournament.  I like the idea of having a person carrying a digital clock, following each golfer. When the golfer gets to the ball and the group in front of them has cleared they have 60 seconds or they get a penalty stroke. Maybe a second violation is a 2 stroke penalty.  Or as I have said before, every golfer wears a shock collar!!!!! at 1 min 1 second that golfer if going to drop. It will take them a good 30 second to recover, leaving them with another 30 seconds to hit the shot. The course would be littered with golfers just convulsing on fair way from an endless cycle of shocks because they cant seem to hit their ball and keep pace of play. 
    • This isn't the same thing.  This is entirely a time of year thing. Not a trend.  This is the COVID year.  There are many who think the Masters viewership was actually way up. The 2024 ratings being down is only for CBS televisions. It doesn't include anyone (including me) who watched it online. 
    • Ha, I didn't even notice that "NFL competition" part… I just dismissed it on face because pause has very little if any role in TV ratings.
    • Wait a second. That is a bit misleading to drag a 4 year old headline about the ratings when the Masters was delayed during the pandemic. The 2024 ratings were down but not to the extent that this headline would imply. Also, @iacas is correct. Any ratings drop has very little, or perhaps, nothing to do with pace of play.
