putted for about 45 minutes through 60 mm gates. Wider gates allowed me more success and repetitions. Life is starting to return to normal after Helene.

Day 162 (11 Oct 24) -  Weekly men’s golf session today (for most it was a practice round for the club championship this weekend).  Solid front nine, scrubby back nine as I struggled with ball control into the greens (they’ve got them hard and rolling fast).  Good day for working from tougher lies and on getting up and down, the greens just were as cooperative.

Day 163 (12 Oct 24) - Opted to sneak in a quick nine on my way home at a course near where the band I’m in rehearses (it’s a Sat morning rehearsal so the afternoon is open).  Decided to focus on the mid-irons on all shots except tee and greenside wedge play.  Was a good challenge as I knew that I would be giving up, for the most part, GIR.  It was a great exercise on staying in the pre-shot routine, having a specific target point and trusting the club chosen.   Green side wedge play was consistent as I had 5 pitches of 20 - 40yds where I was than 10’ for par.  Managed a solid 41 (4 pars, 5 bogies and no sixes).

    • I agree. I would have thought it would save them shipping costs. I will say, I don't really mind. I'm guessing the labor cost to remove the head and repack it is greater than the difference in shipping costs. I'm guessing Callaway has a deal with UPS because the shipping label they sent me only showed a cost of like 8 bucks and change. Feels like it would have costed me more to ship it.  When the guy I spoke to told me they were sending me a complete driver and I could choose to keep my old shaft or keep the new one, I was actually kind of excited. It was like a little driver shaft lottery. ... I didn't win though. The shaft I got was almost the same as the one I had just the R version instead of the S version. Mine's a 60 gram Hzrdus Black.  The other thing I kind of liked about it is that they shipped it the same day I talked to the guy. So it was fast.  Lastly, I'm pretty sure the guy I talked to was in California, and the driver definitely shipped to me out of Texas. That's also where I sent it back to.  So, overall, really I have no complaints.

    • That’s the dumbest thing I ever heard… they only have complete clubs…. They couldn’t have unscrewed it like you did???  Wow…right?
    • Day 156: went to the range for a bit. Worked on the backswing stuff. Results were mixed, but that’s okay.
