Hey Gang,

First let me say thanks for allowing me to join the community. So far I have really enjoyed parking my golf bag here at the clubhouse. Well I am a relative newbie to the game of golf I suppose. I started playing a few years ago with a set of Acuity clubs that I bought from Dicks Sporting Goods. I sucked pretty bad with those and thought that I would never be able to enjoy a decent round. A friend told me that I probably should upgrade to a better set of clubs before I give up on the game. I think he was hoping that I bought the new set, still suck, and end up giving away the clubs. Well I bought a new set of irons (Callaway Diablo Edge) this past April and all I can say is wow. I still suck but I suck a lot less than I used. I guess that's why I say that I am a relative newbie. I hope with some practice and more playing time I will actually play a round of golf without wanting to commit mass murder on a few of my clubs.

    • Day 19 - 2026-01-08 10 minutes of net work. Feeling very good about changes but need to film soon. Next few days will be indoor mirror work as we head into the mountains. 
    • Day 6: 2026.01.09 Some swing work in the mirror. Need to work on home setup to be able to get more out of evenings where I can't make it to the range.
    • I would like to amend my original comment on the new Maxfli irons. Yes, $800 for forged irons is a pretty good price and they do feel good BUT...I have since found out that $800 is only for off the shelf, standard issue clubs with standard lengths, lofts, lies and shafts. Any change made from stock results in huge up-charges so that the final price ends up pretty much the same as similar forged irons from any of the major manufacturers.
    • These were almost all included on the list of Clarifications or revised Model Local Rules released just a few days ago.  I'm pretty sure the first 3 are brand new MLRs (Moved/Wrong Place, Embedded Ball in someone else's pitch mark, Internal OB applies only to tee shot) that the PGA Tour is choosing to use.  The 16.1 Rule (relief near a Putting Green) was revised allowed a Committee to give relief for more than just Immoveable Obstructions, microphone holes would be classed as GUR (a hole made by the maintenance staff).  The replacement club rule was available before, the E-3 (Lift Clean and Place distance) could have been defined as "one scorecard" before, they're just a change in how the PGA choices. Here are the January 1 Clarifications and revised MLRs https://www.usga.org/content/usga/home-page/rules-hub/clarifications-of-the-rules-of-golf.html#cp
