oh man, this is a really trying time for the Mickelson family (been there). I hope everything works out for the best.

That's terrible! All my prayers and thought go out to the Mickelson family!

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

Is breast cancer genetic? I know his wife and mother aren't related by blood, but I wonder if it means his kids have to be super on the lookout for this sort of thing.

Of course, I feel bad for his mother with this new information. I hope both Mary and Amy caught it early enough that they may treat it.

Yes and yes, they may be predisposed to the condition.

This is really sad, and almost unbelievable. Right after Amy's surgery, his Mom now has to have it done. Our best wishes and prayers to the entire family.

When it rains it pours ... luckily this family has the best of medical treatment available to it. Breast cancer is one of the more dangerous cancers and far too many die from it simply because they didn't have average medical care.

I know Phil's golf game isn't too important in light of all this, but I think he'll have a renewed perspective when this is done with, and will be even better.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.

      Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight.

      Cobra 3D Printed Irons

      By mchepp ·

      I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
