It's a cold, cruel world we live in when you buy new irons, wait over a week for them to arrive, and they come in on a Monday.  THIS HAS BEEN THE LONGEST WEEK EVER!

If anyone cares I just picked up a set of 712 AP2s with KBS C-Taper S+ (125g) shafts.  I've hit the setup a few times, but I've yet to play a round with them.  My wife is trying to talk to me, but I'm barely listening to her as I keep glancing anxiously towards the garage.

And it's supposed to rain this weekend.

I feel your pain!  And you can almost guarantee unplayable rain all weekend.  Sometimes I swear that God hates golfers!

Sweet sticks.  Let us know how they play!

I just called the golfer's depression hotline to alert them to this situation. I believe they called it a level 5 scenario that could involve big butterfly nets and guys in white coats.

Rain? I'll take that. How about 40 inches of snow here in Connecticut instead?? That's what I consider "cruel".....

All you guys that live in a cold and snowy area i don't know how you all do it?

Is there a special golf depression pill that is on the market, if not maybe the drug makers should look into this could make millions.

Take it once a day until the snow and rain lifts!

K-Troop I have waited a month for my new sticks can feel your pain RD call last night to say they where in but had to wait for today to pick them up talk about a bummer call. And really on valentines day, what to do be home for my wife and get points. Go pick the new sticks up after work and never hear the end of it for not being home or leave work early because I have a virus, you know the one "the need to pickup new club virus". Help!

haha.  I feel your pain.  I ordered some new i20s and they were set to arrive on V-day.  I slyly convinced my wife to celebrate v-day yesterday instead, then my clubs arrived a day early.  All I could think about at dinner was getting home to hold my irons.

I'll be heading to the range tonight though

Seriously ktroop, how much empathy do you expect living in HAWAII?!?! I played 2 days ago, but it was two weeks before that, and I thought I was going to lose my mind. I don't know how you folks in really cold/snowbound areas do it...

Yeah LOL get out there and play, rain or not. I was out yesterday and we still had snow in the bunkers. Twice I had to dig for my ball in it.

Club ho'ing. Lots and lots of club ho'ing.

I swing in my office daily, I usually get to work around 10 minutes early and I take practice swings to work on tempo and my timing/hip slide. I putt in the living room a lot.

I'm pretty sure my local range opens in March. I, along with many other golfers, will be celebrating like 10 year olds on Christmas morning. I just learned there's a driving range with heated bays about 10 minutes from my office, but all the snow we've had (and are going to continue to get) aren't helping matters...

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
