Last night I went to the Galaxy for a lesson and with the intent of buying a wedge  or three.

I spent a fair amount of time in the sim swinging a bunch of brands.  I used the 60 from each brand, to maintain consistency of the comparison.

Hit the following:

Callaway MD4

Ping Glide

Tommy Armour GXT

Vokey SM6

 

They were all fine to good in my hands.  Callaways were probably my favorite of that group.

 

But then I hit the Cleveland RTX-3.  First swing was butter and felt soooooooo good.

 

Took about 10 more swings with the 60, then 10 more with a 52 and a 46.  Each one felt great and flew very well according to the computer.  I was and am sold.

 

Walked out with all 3 in Black Satin with the M grind, and will be taking my new loves to the range today to get the feel for distances, etc.  As an added bonus, they were on sale and I had some store credit and a coupon, so they were basically free!

Always remember, the same country that invented golf and called it a game, invented bag pipes and called it music.

Falling in love with a club(s) is totally acceptable. However, as with all love affairs, there will be some low points, that could possibly lead to a break up. 

I have had break ups with almost all my clubs at one time or another. Funny thing is, the club doesn't really care.

 Went to a local range that lets you hit off grass and has a bunker to practice out of.

These clubs really work for me.  Great feel, great spin, easy distance control.

Friday will be my first round with these.  Can't wait.

Yeah, just got one of these myself for my birthday, a really good club. Only problem is that it looks so nice that I fear practising with it from any scruffy lies 😄

Loving my RTX wedges .. 

 

As to love affair, I find it hard to go past my Cleveland TT588 eight iron.... nothing like dropping a ball in the hole from the rough 165 yards to put a simile on the dia

      I've been putting whilst looking at the hole and it's definitely helped my distance control

      Determining Out of Bounds

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
