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.

Okay, so in a golf shop and to my surprise I see a Cleveland Smart Sole Chipper in the used bin. Its the same chipper Mark Crossfield went ga ga over a few years back. It's in the used bin, but it still has the plastic on the grip and still has the plastic on the head. 39 bucks. ... So, for roughly the price my sister pays for coffee I can get the chipper Mark Crossfield says everyone should stick in their bag.  So, thirty seven dollars and sixty three cents later that bad boy is all mine. (BTW - I asked the guy what the best he could do on it and he said 35 bucks. ... Always ask what's the best they can do on clubs out of the used bin. They will nearly always take a couple dollars off for you.)  Anyway, I brought it home and tested it first in the basement. I skulled my first shot... and my second... Hmm.... I must be doing something wrong. I got back and watch the Mark Crossfield video.  I take the thing to the course. ... I'm excited to try it out. ... I skull far more than my fair share. I thought you weren't supposed to be able to miss hit this thing.  Apparently, I suck at chippers, Which is weird, because I'm a descent chipper with "normal" clubs. Anyone who's played with me will tell you I can be wildly inconsistent off the tee. I can tug a wedge shot with the best of them. I can miss 4 foot straight uphill putts. I can top a 3-wood. But my chipping is generally pretty solid. Shotscope tells me I'm better than a 5 HCP chipping.  WTH - I thought these were supposed to be easier to use???  I have a buddy who actually does suck at chipping. I'm going to have him try it and see what happens.
