I bought a metal file today. Unfortunately I hit a rock under my ball and took a big chunk out of the bottom of my hogan wedge. The metal is sticking out about 1/4" and it hooks on the ground. So I'm going to take a crack at filing it.

This brings up the thought I have of looking into tweaking my own clubs. Being able to adjust lofts, put on new grips, change weights etc. I have a buddy who always has some funky club he has built or adjusted. He has one set of irons that have shafts that used to belong to Jay Don Blake. He put the 3i shaft in the 4i, the 4i shaft in the 5i etc.

Are there any of you out there who do your own club building, tweaking, adjustments, grips etc? How hard is it? Do you have to fork out a lot for tools? Any study materials?

I have been dabbling. Mostly reshafting and regripping. If you go to GolfWorks.com you can buy reference books on clubmaking, fitting etc. Specialty equipment, especially for loft and lie adjustments, can be expensive.

      Day 66 (15 May 26) - Played in Friday men’s shootout - solid round of 81 (39/42) 7 of the 11 pars were up and down 1 putts (29 total).  Short game came to the rescue….

      Thanks, Matt, for the AI summary.   I found the probability interesting.   It was mentioned that the host talked to a college coach, and no college coaches were knocking down his door trying to recruit him.   He was on the JV team last year, this year being the only time on varsity.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      I started taking my son with me when he was 2-1/2 but only with my regular group.  I asked before I started taking him if they were ok with it.  Everyone was ok with it and they let him ride with them often. And, they had permission to scold him if he was doing anything wrong.  I think the first time I took him and played with strangers he was almost 4.  By then, he knew golf etiquette and was very well behaved.   If the father of the kid in question here did not take proper measures to control the kid...it is not the kid's fault.  The father should know better.  Being the type of person I am, I would have probably politely said something to the kid myself and if the father was not taking care of any mess he made in bunkers I would have definitely asked "Hey, you going to rake the mess he made? How would you like to land in there and have to play your next shot from there?"

      Bailey Shoemaker's Pre-Shot Routine at ANWA

      One has to wonder what in the world could be going thru her mind standing over the ball and with each one of those take aways and not hitting the ball.  My brain would lock up completely.  If she played with the guys and gals I play with someone would inevitably yell "While we are young" (which we are not) or "just hit the damn thing"
