Ah, must have been a post I missed or simply didn't remember reading. I'll look for a range close by.

It's fine that we got to re-iterate it. It was probably in March or even February when I said it before. 😉

Just kidding. That place sounds fine.

And I'm pretty sure I'm speaking for myself, @billchao, and @boogielicious, who are still traveling.

@rwolfe, @jtroutman, and @DrizZzY will probably go too.

Hahaha. That’s fair, easier than trying to explain that to the wife.

I don’t get a say, I go where the driver takes me.

It’s just like how I play golf now that I think about it.

Yeah, I already volunteered you. 😉

@StuM and I will decide tomorrow what rules we'll play.

May be lift, rake, and place in bunkers (same place). May be LCP in your own fairway or maybe anywhere within six inches. Depends on how much rain the course gets tonight.

We will see how the course is.  I figure Marquis of Queensberry rules may suffice.

Thanks @StuM for setting this up. Thanks to all who came for a windy, chilly, but still a good day of golf. I enjoyed see some new faces and others I have not seen in a while. I'll look forward to the next one of these.

    • Day 201 - Dry reps feeling the right elbow and right hip. 
    • Day 16- Worked on set up and backswing. 
    • Circa 2008 I was playing Ping Eye 2 clone irons (probably SGI in 6-category MPF system). Irons were shafted with Dynalite S300 shafts, higher launch cousin of traditional DG S300. One season, I started having trouble with inconsistent iron distances.  I went through fittings, and tried out these UGI models: Ping G10, and Callaway Big Berthas. These are UGI models with high-launch shafts. Problem: Short irons and wedges all ballooned. {UGI head + high launch shaft} = too much help on launch. I also tried out the Callaway X20 (SGI) and X20 Tour (GI) models. The base X20 had 106-gram Uniflex shaft (mid-launch), some 14 grams lighter than the clone set Dynalite S300s. Played the X20 model for two seasons, then upgraded to X20 Tours. For the X20 Tours, I got more GIRs - as long as I was practicing and playing regularly. The base X20 irons got me close to green but I had more distance dispersion than with the X20 Tours. Fastforward to 2018. I switch over to Tour Edge CB Pro Tungsten irons - hollow heads rated as GI. Shafts: KBS Tour 90. Good irons, but... the short irons and wedges were flying proportionally shorter than the 4i-6i. Solution: I put lead tape on shaft below the grips to ensure I got a full drop on the down swing. Research on wedges and short irons suggests that for 8i and above, the launch help/hybrid head has diminishing returns. The high loft angle gets the ball up plenty well on shots with fairly decent contact. Check out the Edison wedge site for details. And, to resolve three seasons of hit and miss, I got fitted and now play Mav MAX irons (see sig line) w/graphite shafts. On the line between GI and SGI (Hot List categories) - certainly not hybrid iron heads. OK, level with us, @Fontyyy... Are you trying to convince us or yourself?
    • Day 14: 12/9/2023 Putting today. Well bead work mostly on the indoor mat. 
    • Played Musgrove Mill Golf course in Clinton, SC, today. First round in 7 weeks but I have been Stack speed training and working on putting. Putted great in warmup but had to revert back to the claw style on the first hole. Tough course, at 155 Slope, to return to golf without hitting a ball since early October. Shot 55-41=96. Opened with an easy fairway, GIR and 2-putt par from 10’. Parred 7 and birdied 9. Really struggled with firm packed sand on several holes, and an unreliable fade on the others. Abandoned the fade on 9 and played the last 10 holes in +4. Unlucky 3-putt on 15 when left the flagstick in, as I normally do, and the 2’ par putt rattled back and forth off the stick and cup and bounced out. Also 3-putted 11 after a good approach took the slope and rolled all the way to the front of the green. 55 has to be my highest score ever on 9 holes.As is the 14-stroke swing from one nine to the next.
