Did you know your left side should be dominant?
The Tin Man replied to Lady Golf Pro's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Wasn't Hogan left handed playing right handed clubs? Which if true probably has more to do with poverty as a kid then anything else. -
Your modern MB designs have more weight in the toe and a lower center of gravity then many realize. Mizuno offers a good selection of MB's that at first glance look the same but are not. The sweet spot has been moved more towards the toe, and up/down the face depending on the model. The sweet sport is tiny on all clubs - what CB's offer is a larger "forgiveness" zone. The larger this "forgiveness zone" becomes the more "dead" the club feels. SGI Swing - I have no idea how I find the ball, never mind the sweet spot? Somehow my brain adjusts without thinking about it. Shanks - Tops - Chunks - Toe hits...........no club is going to prevent major swing flaws. But, a blade immediately punishes toe hits with stinging hands. Somehow my brain adjusts and stops doing that. Last but far from least. Most of us are already playing Blade Wedges - adding a few MB scoring irons is not a big deal. I don't play my MB long irons, I use CB's. What MB's offer is more distance control. The face is not 'hot' - no surprises. Now add a ball that's not hot off the face and you gain consistency.

DUH! I just noticed the date of this thread. Don't soak them because if you get acetone in the ferrule it can weaken the epoxy bond. Try using Goo Gone.

The one I have looks like this. 304 Stainless which is a softer grade.

Cleveland changed to using face inserts. If it doesn't have a plastic face insert - looks like it's milled - buy it. I think it has Classsic stamped on the bottom. (Mines in the car, so I can't check it out.) If it says soft stainless - BUY IT ! Those are "sleeper's" - mine holds its own against my Scotty Camerons. Soft and feels good. They actually sold or I should say didn't sell for $59 new - why I don't know. I don't think they made that many and didn't advertise them. The stock grips a cheapie and that can be changed.

BYE HOLE In match play, any holes not played because the outcome was decided early. For example, say that Player A is three holes up at the conclusion of play on the 16th hole. The outcome is now decided and the 17th and 18th holes become "bye holes" because there are simply not enough holes remaining for Player B to catch up. The best that Player B could do is to win the 17th and 18th which would still leave Player B the loser of this match. Therefore, the 17th and 18th holes are not played. Player A is declared the victor at the 16th hole. I googled it and got this.

How do we know the Judge isn't wearing basketball shorts under that robe?

It's a TV show, a long commercial for Atlantis. The girls are auditioned to fill their roles, not play scratch golf.

.....I can't help but think of the "Hunger Games". "May the odds ever be in your favor!" Yani Mulligans? I'll take 3.

Putters I buy used from a local superstore that has a 90 day return policy. This way I can try them out, a good carpet putter may not be a good grass putter. (an new putters can be grossly overpriced.) I buy irons from the same store - usually used. Wedges I find on e-bay because the model I like is getting rare in clean condition. Woods: These are a problem. I will only buy the exact club I demo to eliminate shaft issues. Drivers: I buy my melons from the grocery store.
