Hey, a fellow SW Oklahoman!! Where are you from in Southwest Oklahoma?

I'm living in Lawton right now. We will have to meet up and go play somewhere if you are close.

Glad to have you here.

I live in Frederick (45 minutes away to the southwest of Lawton) and play at the Frederick Golf and Country Club.
It is a nice 9 hole course with small lighting fast bent greens. Real test at times.

Hey Cody,

Heh, I bet you don't miss it. I sure wouldn't if I left. I'm already in the mood to head to North Carolina again this year.

Welcome by the way! It's good to have you here..

Hey Thrasher
Are you going to play in the Lawton Firecracker Tourney this weekend.
For the last 10 years I have been doing a fireworks display for the Fourth of July and couldn't make the Tourney. This will be my first Firecracker.

Hey Thrasher

Nope, I'm not playing in it this year. I just moved back to Lawton a couple months ago, and I forgot all about it to be honest. I was at the Lawton Country Club a couple days ago, and the guy said the course was in the best shape it's been in all year. Unfortunately, it's still not in very good condition from what I've seen.

Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.

    • Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

    • I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
