We took the kids up to the Mall of America this past week and on our way home I hot up Golf Galaxy because we don't have one near us. Closest one is in Omaha which is 3 hours away so I wanted to check

An Edel putter and an Taylormade M1 Driver.

Were you fit for the putter?

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

I bought an old, discontinued Zelocity launch monitor from a guy who was paid in the units when the company went out of business.  Sounds shady, I know, but it was just fifty bucks, and if it gives me some basic data, it'll be worth it.  I figure that once the pandemic allows, I'll take it in and compare readings with the Flightscope at the place that I take lessons and see how accurate it is.  I'm really hoping that it will help me get a real handle on what my average distances are.

So, this thing arrived today, and I was able to get out and hit a few shots after the rain.  Seems to be pretty accurate.  It shows a well struck 7 iron with a carry distance of about 145 yards, and a well struck 9 iron carrying about 125 yards.  Recently, I had a well struck 7 iron show a carry of 156 yards, as measured by a FlightScope X3 unit indoors, and a well struck 9 iron carry 136 at an outdoor range with TopTracer technology. 

Hopefully, I'll get a chance to take it with me to my next lesson - whenever that is - and check it next to the FlightScope. If it is around ten yards off, at least I'll have a baseline, and I'll be able to monitor my distances and get more consistent.  That's one of the (many) things about my game that I have simply been clueless about. Regardless of its overall accuracy, it could definitely distinguish between a well struck ball and a fat shot, or one off the toe.  I saw a big drop off on those.

Won an ebay auction yesterday for a set of Vokey SM6 chrome wedges. They’ve seen a bit of play but should be a massive upgrade to my antique vokeys. At the very least having a set of 3 should be better. They are 52 56 and 60 in the F, S and M grinds and 8 10 8 bounce. Set me back 175€ for the set with shipping.

Callaway Epic Flash 5 wood with a Tensei Blue AV 75 X shaft from Callaway Pre Owned. Needed a club to slot above my 4i for tee shots on dogleg par 4s and second shots into certain par 5s, and I have a weird mental block when trying to hit hybrids, so 5 wood it was.

I have that same affliction with hybrids and woods in general. In fact I just started hitting my driver again last year. For about 2 years I teed off with my 3 iron and didn’t have a fairway wood of any type.

Yeah, I didn't hit driver for the first 2.5-3 years that I played golf. Wasn't until last year that I finally figured it out enough to not cost myself two strokes per hole, and it made a huge difference in my scoring potential.

I haven't had a chance to play much with it since I got it but early indications are very good.

A dozen balls and a visor. For some reason visors seem to have become hard to find, so when I saw one I grabbed it.

I have a good friend who I think has been buying them all up. 

He suffers from thinning hair; He claims that sunshine on his head helps his hair grow. Personally, I'm not seeing it. But to each his own.

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      A sand trap is not supposed to have 3 inches of water in it. To me that’s temporary, casual water. Just like if your ball lands in a deep rain puddle in the middle of the fairway. I would have gladly hit out of any spot in that bunker. I understand that it’s a different rule. I just think it’s a dumb rule. You are penalized because it rained.  Here’s what I think is the dumbest rule in golf, and all sports for that matter - professionals playing for millions of dollars in a tournament have to carry around a little pencil and scorecard to keep their score and sign it, when there are big scoreboards all over the course and on tv. Can you imagine the Knicks losing because they didn’t count their score correctly? Like I said, I love the game, but it’s time to move into the 21st century already.

      Could course committee have an MLR option to declare this bunker GUR?

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Sorry, I will disagree. You got a penalty because you hit it somewhere and didn't want to play it from there. Bunkers are not the general area. If you had hit it into temporary water in the general area, you'd be entitled to relief. You hit it into a hazard, a bunker. Why should you get free relief when you hit it into a bunker? If someone else hit it into a different part of the bunker, without water, they'd not get a drop for free out of the bunker. Heck, it'd cost them two strokes if they didn't have an ACC and wanted to drop it out of the bunker.
