Here is an idea I started doing many years ago. If you were lucky enough to have won multiple trophies and the wife says it's time to get rid of the shrine, or clean out the closet, donate them to a local agency for kids. The idea came to me when a friend of mine was involved with Special Olympics in our area (something close to my heart). It turns out to be one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. The thought that some youngster has one of my old trophies in his home brings a constant smile to my face whenever I think about it.
There are so many worthy organizations like the Police athletic league, Boys and girls club, YMCA, local junior tour, etc. all you have to do is take the name tag or if the base of the trophy is engraved take it off and just donate the body of the trophy. Most trophies have interchangeable parts so if you donate a loving cup with a golfer on top it can be swapped out for a runner or whatever. Just a thought that can make a difference.
I was going to one day take all the name plates and put them on a plaque, but I never got around to it, maybe I should melt them down hehe.

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.

      Is that the current generation Gamer? Another old standby for a firm and inexpensive ball is Pinnacle.  There are two models, the Rush and the Soft, but I don’t know what compression they are.

      Good advice, but according to DSG website it is a 45 compression ball. My current ball is the Top-flite Gamer at 70. 45 is too low for me to go.

      The 3 piece Maxfli Trifli is 2 dozen for $35.  The Trifli does not feel as soft as the Maxfli Softfli, which is why I like it. Other options would be one of the Srixons, which have a buy 2 get 1 free offer.
