So far just the book "The Physics of Golf." Interesting read. Might get a bit more later, not sure. The book makes a pretty compelling argument that I don't actually need any more equipment until I've got my swing under control...

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

A series of lessons - I guess my wife is a mind reader.

And of course a few dozen balls and golf shirts.

Didn't really need much golf related this year, but I got 2 dozen Pro V 1 X; I also got a new Kodak mini camcorder, which I plan to use for my golf swing.

Hope everyone has had a great Christmas.

-Also asked for a Warrior Custom Golf 60° Lob Wedge. My mom ended up finding they were having people test their clubs so I got a Lob Wedge, Sand Wedge, and Gap Wedge for free and I just have to test their Driver and 3 Wood. They also gave me a dozen balls. Love their balls, just too pricey for me($29.99 a dozen). I'll probably buy the 3 Wood, I love the thing. Not sure about the Driver though, it didn't impress me. Still, the Driver gave me 15 yards to my drive and I was actually hitting a slight fade compared to a wicked slice. Wasn't exactly what I was looking for, though.

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

My parents gave me $500 to spend on golf clubs so I'm going to the new PGA Superstore that just opened up close to me. Gonna be a woman and be there all day.

I was as surprised as anybody that I got it because we are a mid-middle class family. We have enough to get by pretty well, with a little left over if need be. I didn't expect this I'm so happy

i got i don't even know how many golf balls from my dad and grandmother. at least eight dozen. evidently a local sporting goods store had nike power distance golf balls on sale (i've told my dad i prefer nike power SOFT, but he evidently misheard and thinks i prefer power DISTANCE, but i wasn't going to correct him or complain). anyway, he pretty much wiped out their entire inventory. golf balls can't go bad over time, can they? haha, there's just no way i'm going to lose that many balls. it'll be the end of next year before i even get halfway through them.

from my mother, i got byron nelson's autobiography, "how i played the game," shell's wonderful world of golf - palmer vs sanders vs beard, and then shell's wonderful world of golf - snead vs nicklaus. (i fancy myself a bit of a golf historian and positively thrive on watching/reading about matches/tournaments that were played anywhere between 40 and 60 years ago).

i was super duper excited to get the snead vs nicklaus dvd. i'd actually just been wondering a week or so ago who would win between them in a long-driving contest. in this match, snead is 50 and nicklaus is 23, and nicklaus outdrives snead on every hole by about 15-20 yards. you can tell that irked snead to no end, haha. they even mention at one point "snead's not accustomed to being outdriven." a great little dvd.

    • Depends on what you mean by loading. There's load on the grip early in the backswing, transition, and at delivery. Big periods of acceleration. Swinging fast pulls on the grip with some good amounts of force. I've never touched a weight, but I can squeeze a dynamometer pretty well. I know you know a bit about weightlifting, but it's not just that. But… if they're really low, then it's going to become a limiting factor, as high swing speeds creates a lot of pull. Yes. It can happen. Especially with shitty worn old grips. Perhaps, yeah. Yes.
    • Angular velocity and acceleration caused by torque.
    • He's going for that carelessly disheveled look but it comes off so manufactured and deliberate. Kind of like Boris Johnson. Tool.
    • Ok but seriously, are they allowed to use their phones for Tiktok or YouTube during the lulls? Rory's round took 5 hrs 51 mins
    • Hole 6, you need to hit a 240 ish slight draw. I decided to flight a hybrid. I made the perfect length backswing, I swung down better, and I kept my arms in front of my chest in the finish with a 3/4 finish.  The ball didn’t get to the tree tops, flighted push draw. I really felt that stretch of the club pulling me up into the finish.  2nd is the next shot, a 70 yard waist to waist distance 52 degree wedge that landed 3 yards short of pin high and one hop stop pin high. Nippy. 😁
