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!

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By tomfig · Posted

      I’d go with the Titleist if you liked the look of the blades but were suffering with distance. They should be a little more forgiving than a full blade and still retain some workability. Also remember to consider the shafts each have as this will be a big contributor to how they feel. Clemsonfan is right though… get fit or spend a bit of time on a launch monitor 🤙

      My Swing (Tomfig)

      By tomfig · Posted

      Hi All my New Year’s resolution was to start playing golf again. I’ve caught the bug and am really enjoying hitting balls at a couple of my local ranges.looking forward to getting back out on courses in the spring. Based in the UK and 38 years old, I’ve been playing since I was a kid. Best handicap I’ve held is 2 in my mid 20s. Over the past 10 years I’ve played once or twice a year, sometimes with friends or for work. Could shoot 4-5 over, but just as easily shoot 15-20 over. I’ve moved to South Wales and am very lucky to be near some world class links courses, which gives me even more motivation to get playing again! I will start looking for a local coach in my area when I have more time to invest, but I recalled scouring this forum a few years ago and finding some good tips and advice so wanted to give it a try to see if there were any glaring issues I could fix in the meantime!  A few swings below… one from 1st week Jan and one from today. I have fixed my P1 takeaway to my liking and am now working on what I see as pretty severe early extension & hip thrust. Also terrible hip rotation. I’d like confirmation that this is indeed a problem and and suggestions on a few good drills. Thanks for reading 🙂 I've been Playing Golf for: 30+ years My current handicap index or average score is: 10ish over My typical ball flight is: mid The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push right with irons, hooks and push with driver!  Videos:
