My lovely wife, knowing I wanted new irons and hadn't saved my money, more than pitched in and bought me a set of Taylor Made R7 TP irons. They arrived today! Beautiful. The only downside is that we have 6 inches of snow on the ground with another 6 to 10 arriving tonight. God I love her. After 24 years she's still the best.

Congratulations and Merry Christmas! My major wish for Christmas is the book "John Adams" by David McCullough. I just finished "1776", and it was great. My family knows that I already have "Arnie and Jack" by Ian O'Connor, which was a gift from my wife a couple of months ago. My only golf wish is that my son and I get to play at least once this year, preferably on his course, at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, where he is the Head Pro, and my granddaughter, Ryleigh, goes along with us. John is her Godfather, and uncle. That would be a great gift.

As your present to your wife, you should take her south on a Christmas vacation right now to Scottsdale, Arizona (or some other warm destination). She'll love you for it. She wouldn't buy you this gift if she didn't want you to enjoy it right away.

I happen to love history, especially about the War for Independence or the War Between the States (NOT really "The Civil War"). It is understandable that you or others may find "1776" boring, because of all the details, and the way the narrative has to follow the correct sequence of events. However, to someone like me, that process is interesting because it is based on actual events, as opposed to a work of fiction. Some people would never be able to read more than 10 pages of William Shirer's "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich". When I started it, I could not put it down until I finished all 1,483 pages. To each their own. By the way, I do like reading novels and other works of fiction.

I could go for a new putter...an Oddsey 3 Ball, Santa, Hellllllllo !!

Eventually, I'll get the hint and stop advertising, which is against the rules.

my girlfriend, now my wife suprised me with my first set of irons, 22 years ago, Ping Eye 2 Becu 3-pw with a red Sunmountain golf bag. I still remember when I saw the bag and new irons I just started yelling so loud that our neighbors were wondering whats going on next door. I yelled for about 5 minutes with excitement, I still remember it like it was yesterday.

Congratulation, I know how you must feel!

    • Hey, thanks for the feedback. I do lift weights but I’m also adding yoga or Pilates for mobility and flexibility to my routine. 
    • Day 18: 2026.01.20 Continuing work on arm raise during backswing. Starting to feel less weird, especially the slower I go. Looking like a busy week so might be the weekend before I can hit some balls.
    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
