I played ice hockey thru collage.. I started golf late however I had as much resepct for my coachs as I did for my father, and never in my life would I even think of flipping him off.. I mean I got into heated arguments with them but never stepped over that line (I might have danced all over it, but never crossed it) because I gave my word to my team mates and myself that I wanted to play no matter what I had to giveup myself.. Now anyone who knows me knows that I can run off at the mouth better then most.. I remeber my coach benched me one time for my mouth, he told me to go shower. Being as mad as I was I just went home, when I got early my dad was like what are u doing here is everything ok?? I told him what happened and I thought my father was going to beat me to death with the look he had on his face.. He told me that I better get my a$$ back to that ring and to make sure I didnt come home unless I was still on the team.. See it wasnt about making the team or one day becoming a pro, and he wasnt living his dream thru me either, he is just a man who was going to make sure his son grewup knowing what respect was and holding to my word.. Im really sorry erik that things worked out the way they did for you, just remeber everything happens for a reason, and I agree with you, you shouldnt have to lower your standards to meet anyone elses.. My father said that and he was right..

thanks dad..

    • 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. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • 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)
