I recently had my TM 3W, 4H and 3H stolen. I had just bought a new Ping G30 driver(also stolen) and decided to go with Ping for the others.  I had tried some out a few months back on a demo and liked them.  After a couple of times out with them now I am very happy with the decision. I did not get a new 4H asI had already decided to go with a 4 iron. My tendency to hook the wood and hybrids has gone and the replacements feel a lot more stable and confidence inspiring. I have to dial the distances in but my first couple of rounds are indicating I have a little less distance but way more % in the fairway. There are too many dishonest scumbags out there.  If that club you see on Ebay or kijiji is too good of a deal you know why.

My weeknight league partner plays Ping driver, fairway woods and #3 hybrid.  He hits 'em a mile.  Congrats on the new sticks.

Now, back to your loss, (sorry that happened) due to theft.  For the first time EVER I saw a permanently posted sign as I approached the bag drop area of a privately owned, open to the public course last Saturday.  The sign said something like, Not Responsible for Theft of Personal Property.

Add up the $$ of everything in your bag.  Mine has to be well over $2 grand with 14 clubs, rain gear, range finder and everything else jammed into my bag.  Gonna keep a better eye on my gear from now on.  Or, have someone in the group hang back and guard everyone's gear.

Be safe and keep an eye on your gear everybody!

Decided to leave the driver in the bag last night and shot my best 9 so far this year, using the 3w off the tee in it's place. Shot 42 off the whites and that included 2 shots I had to hit sideways from the bush. I bought different irons as they no longer make mine anymore and I wanted something a little more workable, as I have improved quite a bit since I bought the last set but, that translates to a little easier to hit off line, so resulted in an increase of my fade on a few shots, a few thin shots and also left a few shots short. Overall that's a good carrot as I get the new clubs dialed in and a glimmer of sunshine, as I have been quite choked about the whole incident.

      PRGR Launch Monitor

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
