My wife and I were out walking the dogs in the snow this morning (we don't get a lot around these parts, despite living in Canada) and I dropped the hint of a gift certificate to Modern Golf for a full bag fitting....she seemed curious, so here's hoping! http://moderngolf.ca/

Aren't  you glad that you joined the rest of the country in our miserable December? lol.  We have had the absolute worst month for cold and snow here in Fredericton. Then one day ,today, the temp  rises up above zero to 5 and puts a nice glaze on everything, Sheesh !  Have a great Christmas.  I know you guys on Vancouver island will be back at it come the new years.

It is a bitter cold 54 in San Antonio today.  But should be in the low 70's Christmas Eve & Christmas day.

All I want for Christmas is consistent ball striking.  Please Santa, I have been very good (except for my scores, they are pretty bad)

1. I want some fleece lined ski pants, or something similar, to play or hit balls in the cold. Not anything real bulky, I don't want to look like I am wearing a diaper under my pants... If anybody has any ideas, where to get this, that is #1 on my Christmas golf list.

2. A couple of truly free afternoons from my duties at home, so I can just relax and play 18 (I never have enough time to play 18)

3. More Volvik Vivids (Green)

 

Take  look at wader pants. Kept me warm in 33 degree water under a pair of waders .

Picked up an old Ping Cushin Putter at 2nd Swing the same length as the one I purchased 40 years ago. Stripped off the grips on both of them, swingweighted them both. Added a few grams of weight down the shaft of the recent purchase to make them identical. Ordered a couple of matching putter grips and will install them when they get here. One for the current bag here at home and one for the bag at the lake. Plan to go up later in the week so I'm hoping they arrive this afternoon or tomorrow.

I already got my Mizuno MP 67's a lil earlier in the year so I am asking Santa for some Mizuno wedges.  I think a 52 & 58 will do.  Looking to find some quality older ones.  I dont really like the 2 or 3 new models out this year, the MP T5, S5 or T7.  What is with the anodized blue this year???

Looking for MP T or MP T11 or MP T12.

Hope everyone had a Happy Holiday and got what they wanted.

I woke to find some nice Mizuno MPR-12 wedges under the tree.  A 52 & a 58, just what I wanted!  Awesome shape.  Really clean, good groves, no dings and brand new grips on them!  Happy happy, joy joy!!  I wonder if I can get to try them before the year ends???

Driver: :callaway: Diablo
Woods: :callaway: Big Bertha 2 & 4
Irons: Miura MC 102's 3 - PW & Mizuno MP 67's 3 - W
Wedges: :mizuno: MP-R12 52* & 58*
Putters: :ping: WRX Ti4

Dear Golf Gods

if you would grant these few wishes, I promise that I will never curse you again. Here goes:

1. A swing from the inside that is straight and long with just a little bit of draw for extra roll. If a new driver is needed to achieve that result off the tee, I will make that sacrifice too.

2. After smashing the tee shot straight down the fairway, please grant me GIR on three out of four occasions, with the occasional "on in two" par 5.

3. A putter that never three putts.

4. A new push cart so that my golf buddies stop laughing at me for dragging around my "collapsible" cart.

If you can give me none of the above, i will be happy with good health and a loving family that will allow me to indulge in my golf craziness 365 days out of the year. (Of course, failure to give me wishes 1-3 means that I reserve the right to tell you guys to put the OBs, worm-burners, bladed sand shots and four putts where the don't shine!)

happy new year!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
