Hi All,

My name's Jake - I'm 27 and from the west suburbs of Chicago. I started golfing during COVID summer and am on my 4th season, but it was cut short due to a wrist injury while hitting a bunker shot this past August. I just found this site today while doing further research on my injury and came across @cipher's blog about his ECU injury (which is most likely what I did too).

For starters - if anyone has any history with an ECU tear or injury, please let me know. I have an MRI in 2 weeks and surgery the following week if needed. 

Secondly - I love the idea of this site. I am an avid golfer and was on pace for 70 rounds this year. I am fully addicted and can't believe I didn't play this sport prior to COVID. I played college basketball as well and baseball & football in HS and used to laugh at the idea of golfing. What a fool I was. 

A few other things - I am a big time Youtube golf viewer (Bryan Bros & Bob Does Sports mainly). I am a lefty golfer & got my handicap down to 9.6 this year which I was pumped about after starting the season at 14.8. All self-taught and just watching youtube/tiktok videos. Love researching all things golf & try to learn as much as I can!

Feel free to reach out and ask about Chicagoland courses, I've played a bunch and try to play as many as I can. Thanks for having me!

      2025 NFL Draft

      Shedeur freeeeeeeeeeeeeeee fallin'. I'm definitely on board with the "Shedeur is bad" takes. Am I right? Dunno.  Milroe's still there. I feel like he has way more upside than Shedeur but again, I could be wrong. He seems at least as good as Malik Willis to me though.  My physical therapist loves Will Howard but he went to Ohio State so his opinion can't really be trusted. He any good?

      I don't have one. I couldn't care much less about the draft. I don't care about sports much in the off-season: I care a little about my teams in the off-season. I'm not an NFL fan. I'm a quasi-Steelers fan.

      @iacas What’s your take on Sanders getting rolled in the first round? Some aren’t surprised…some are. I was surprised Dart got picked before Sanders. I know those guys see stuff we don’t…I was a bit surprised he was passed.

      What Callaway Driver and 3 Wood to Buy Given My Age, Skill, Level Etc?

      By RWold ·

      Ok you’re right I’m wrong. After beating myself up trying to do well with my 20 year old ERC Fusion 10° driver, I bought a used Paradym driver 10.5° currently set to 11.5° (2023 technology) and what a difference. Not to drag out an old cliche’, but what a game changer.   After a rough day at the range (with Top Tracer) I picked up my new driver from the PO, drowned my sorrows a bit over lunch, and brought the new club home. I hit a couple balls on my home range and was more than pleased. Redeemed actually. Farther, straighter, and less effort. I’ll have to get used to the new lie angle, but I think it will make it easier, not harder.     And the best part - I only paid $110 for this unit (ok, the best part is how it launches the ball). It was a little rough in appearance, not that it matters, but I was a bit concerned. Turned out to not be so bad and with some Flitz and a little elbow grease, I have it looking quite spiffy.  Club face is nice too but the file was too big so that pic didn’t post.   And BTW X-ray, we sold the horses, so the old one isn’t even good for that!
