Conspiracy!!!  It looks to me like it say "TIXE" over that door in the background.  Why would that be???  ;)  I'm suspicious that you guys borrowed somebody's left handed wedge, flipped it over, hit i

Go to the Golf and Travel Show in Cleveland this weekend. I'm sure you will have your pick of tons of South Paw clubs. That show is like 1/3 swap meet. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

So today on the range I had one of the pros take a video of me swinging on my Opposite side.  I am a right handed golfer.  I purchased a left handed 5 iron about 8 years ago (for $7) and swing it occasionally.  I remember some research on improving your golf swing.  The research showed the if you take regular opposite side swings you will improve your regular swings more so than if you only swing the way you normally do.  So this is my opposite side swing!!

Impulse purchase at the local Hospice Resale store - complete set of Dunlop irons Enhance oversize irons.  Pretty cool looking - thought I may be able to use the shafts as some point as I realized after purchase they are lefties.  For $5 they were a steal and I've been very curious about hitting from the other side.   Found this thread in looking for discussions about folks who have hit from both sides.  This should be interesting.....

Not too bad considering I haven't swung lefty in quite awhile.

@Vinsk, what do you think? 😉

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
