About a couple years ago i got a new driver the R11 for Christmas, it was 10.5 and regular flex, it worked much better then the 10 yr old driver i had been using but i still sliced the ball. Fast forward a year or so and i broke my collar bone in a motorcycle accident, but i was still hitting balls (with one hand) a day after the accident. While i was playing during my healing and as a result i started using more body/hip movement. Then about 3-4 weeks after I got new irons, it was my birthday. When i got the irons they measured my swing speed around 95 ish so i opted for the stiff shafts on the RBZ irons. So its been about 4 months and i love my Irons i will always draw or even double cross hook them, but I always either fade or slice my driver(3 wood same issue and shaft). What do you think about this? I have read many topics and most say that its your swing path and shaft stiffness makes a marginal difference could it just be that my driver swing is opposite from my irons, or is it the shaft or a combination of both? I know i should get a swing analysis and see a professional and all that expensive stuff but i just want to know what some peoples opinions are on this before buying some new shafts.

      Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing

      I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning.

      Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
