I'm an English teacher in Queretaro, Mexico - the safest and most prosperous city in the country, and one of the most beautiful. I teach Business English to managers and executives (I have also done that in Korea). Business is booming here, and there is no drug cartel crime whatsoever, although there is in almost all the surrounding states. Whatever behind-the-scenes deals are involved I do not know (although I've heard rumors), but Queretaro is a safe zone. I previously lived in Culiacan for three years - now that's the exact opposite, the epicenter of the drug traffic and the home base of the notorious Chapo Guzman. I also lived in Mexico City for a while, so no one could say that I haven't had a varied experience of Mexico!

I am not a golfer, only a fan, which might make me a rare bird in this forum. I follow the men's tours very seriously. I am especially interested in up-and-coming golfers, and I always actively track the top 200 players with the help of the OWGR website.

For my avatar I chose a shot of one of my favorite golfers, David Toms, whom I hope to see as a future Ryder Cup captain. I picked this shot because Toms is looking so supremely stylish, and golf fashion appeals to me. (Other faves in that department: Billy Horschel, Keegan Bradley, Luke Donald, Brian Gay, Ian Poulter, and of course the late great Payne Stewart.)

    • Greg Norman reveals plan for LIV Golf teams to have their own courses LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman wants teams to follow Premier League clubs in having their own home games. Here you go. Enjoy.
    • Day 2:  I hit a bucket of balls this morning.  Not gonna lie, almost didn’t go since it was my first time going alone and it was a little intimidating.  I mostly hit with my driver (the last bit of balls was with my 7 iron).  The sun was in my face but I think the ones that had good contact with went the furthest yet (maybe 150 yards then a good roll?).  Once I switched to my 7, the first half of my balls were crap.  I’ve always hit my irons before my driver when practicing and done fine - does this make any difference or is it just because I’m so green?
    • It's likely per "category" of clubs, so irons would be one category, wedges would be a category, driver a category, fairway woods/hybrid a category, etc. They aren't going to charge you $50 per iron for a fitting. Almost all iron fittings are done with like a 6 or 7 iron, fitters don't carry full sets of every iron. So yes, if you use a 7 iron for the fitting and let's say you get fit into the P790 with a certain shaft, 1 degree flat and .5" longer than normal you would just order the full set of P790s with that shaft/lie angle/length combination and you'll be perfectly fine.  
    • I think the $50 fitting price tag is per club. The clubs I am most interested in getting fitted for are irons. And I'd rather not spend a bunch on getting fitted for multiple irons. Would I be fairly safe to assume that choosing something like a 6 or 7 iron for fitting would likely relate to other lofts in the same configuration/make/model?
    • A Mevo is 500. Comes with little decals to hit balls inside too.
