Lets see if i can keep this at least PG-13 :ninja:

 

Driver- "oh god" because I cant hit it very well

3W,4H- "Hot heads" because the head socks never come off

3i- "occasionally" because I occasionally use it well

5i- "neverland" because I sky the ball everytime

6i- "Sweet Jesus" because it saves me most of the time

7i- "ouch" because I hit my ball into my face off of a tree in my first full 18 round

8i- "shovel" because I typically leave pretty big divots with it

9i- "the mistress" because I cheat on my wedges with it

PW- "topical" because I top the ball alot

SW- Dubbed "get wet" by a friend after I used it to chip out of water and into the hole for a bogey in my best round ever

Putter- "get lucky" because I need all the luck I can get on the green.

Only ever gave a name to one club. It was an experimental oversize Persimmon I had made. Named it "Concorde" (as in "Monty Python and The Holy Grail", NOT the plane). Sadly my Concorde DID die in vain... After a few months the head cracked at the hosel and could not be repaired.

putter—Rife 2-bar:  “Frankenputter”.  For obvious reasons (See above, LINK)

52 gap wedge: “Volkey2”.  Before I bought my first Vokey (Volkey1) I thought they were called VoLkeys.  lol 

25 hybrid: “partner”—Like my former partner, I think he’s going to be straight with me beforehand.  But turns out to be crooked quite often. 

Driver:  “Sweetie”.  When I treat her right (hit the sweet spot with a square stroke) she rewards me.

For trouble, my brother always pulled out the "McGinty", an early wood hybrid club.

So does your nine iron talk? Or was your nine iron the one that was actually absent? :P

my 9i speaks to me all the time. usually goes something like, "Would you PLEASE keep my sole somewhere near the Earth's crust, and not closer to the inner core?"

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
    • Day 12 - 2025-12-31 Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
