It will be a balmy -14* when I wake up for work tomorrow!  On a brighter note, the Minnesota golf show is this weekend, and I plan on taking full advantage.  This will give me a little bit of hope that someday I will soon be able to play golf again.

Any one else on this thread have a golf show coming up?  At this point hitting a few balls into a net will feel like teeing it up at Pebble Beach.

I can't take much more of this....

3 degrees Fahrenheit this morning on the drive in to work. Hopefully I can get some time in at the indoor practice facility at my club a couple of nights this week because more snow is coming Thursday. This winter has just been brutal.

1 degree on the drive in to work, 10-14 inches of snow predicted for Thursday-Friday.  Spent 2 hours hitting into the net in my garage last night and realized I'm slowing loosing my mind and cabin fever is setting in.

I had a great time at the show and would go again if it comes back. It was basically an indoor golf "flea market" and there seemed to be a lot of good deals on clubs, particularly used ones and/or older models. Only draw-back is that it didn't seem as though you could demo specific equipment while you were there. There was a demo area, but I'm pretty sure that was for the newer models only. So if you go with an eye toward buying something, I'd recomend having a good idea of what you want ahead of time since you probably won't get a chance to test it out while you're there. Good number of travel agents there as well for those looking into golf trips. Best part for me was the free lessons. Had to wait awhile for them, but it was well worth it. They had a good number of fairly well known area instructors there. I've been looking into lessons for the upcoming spring and I just happened to get paired up with one of the instructors who was on my short list and is in my area. We got along well so makes my decision to go with him for real lessons a lot easier.

      Day 34 (14 Dec 25) - Got outside for a few moments to work on bump and runs with the 4h (again using the exaggerated weight shift reminder of the left (lead) heel). Finding that it helps keep the downswing arc extended.

      Driver and Fw3 Swing Weight Changes, Make Sense?

      By BananaBomber · Posted

      I am currently playing a Cobra Ltdx LS 9 degree driver and Cobra Ltdx LS FW3. Both with Tensei White stock stiff shafts and original weights of 12g (heel) and 3g (toe). My miss is usually a pull fade or sometimes a slice, swing is out to in. Driver swing speed about 112 mph. Grips are stock regular. Intended change: Driver: Switching to Tensei White x-flex one inch shorter which I suppose would be 44,5? Changing heel weight to 18g. Changing grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Change hosel setting to standard draw. FW3: Changing heel weight to 16g (apparently not available in FW weights, but supposed to be something called "internal weight" a club builder can add which fits between the weight and the screw?). Change grip to Golf Pride Z-grip cord midsize. Changing hosel setting to standard +1. The goal is to 1) get better grip since I tend so lose grip in warm and moist conditions with the current grips and 2) mitigate the misses to start more straight with less side spin. Also considering adding the Cobra Ltdx LS FW5 instead of my old Taylormade R9 and getting 14g heel and 6g toe weights with the same grip as the others and hosel setting standard +1.   All of the above is based on conversations with ChatGPT and, as everyone knows, it can come up with pretty much whatever but I spent a few hours asking about different perspectives etc and this was the recommendation. So, my question is basically, does it make any sense?   Thanks.
