For the record I thought Wie played well and definitely was worthy of being on the team. I was not happy with her behavior and sunglasses during the interview. Wie wasn't the only one displaying poor sportsmanship though. As an American I was more embarrassed by our teams behavior than our play. The better team won and I'm ok with that. I got away from other sports and watch and play golf more than anything now because Ive always felt that golf put me closer to a different class of individuals than other sports (most of the time) but our team's behavior was disgusting. I am a proud American who was unable to serve our country due to medical reasons but I have served my community for over 20 years as a paramedic. I am very proud I fly the flag at my home and I take it down every evening and fold it neatly for the next day. It seems we as a society have lost pride and some of our team members represented the US poorly with their behavior. This American just had to rant lol

Wie gets interviewed and still has her sunglasses on. The guy doing the interview covered it up by bringing it up and sayig it was the emotion of the moment.

A cart that has the features you like and need are a must when walking a course at least for me it makes a huge difference. I carried my bag one round never did it again.

I know this has been said a bunch of times but I broke down and bought the white on white clicgear 3.5+ cart and I can't begin to tell you how awesome this cart is. I had a cheapie two wheel pull cart that tipped over all the time. The clicgear was solid no tips rolled nicely and the net and compartment where great to hold my phone keys and rangefinder all within easy access. I used the umbrella holder and opened the umbrella for shade (the sun and heat were killer today) and then It started raining and I stayed dry. Love this cart.

Clicgear 3.5+ cart for myself and a Sun mountain micro cart for the wife

3 wood is standard

We have to lean it into a corner with all the pockets facing the corner

Just bought one for the wife the only complaint I have is that when full loaded it falls foward easily when standing up at home and not on a cart. She still likes it even though I have asked her if she wants to exchange it for something else.

I have the G25 driver and Ping Karsten putter lol I forgot to put that in I just wasn't sure if there need to be another club between my 19* hybrid and my 3 wood

I have my driver and 3 wood then 5,6,78,9,P,G/A,S. I have a 19* hybrid and 22* hybrid am I missing something between my 5 iron and 3 wood?

My address positioning. Backswing was too upright at the top he wants it back around my head unstead of almost over my head. Also in to out swing and not blocking my release and allowing the hands to cross over with a good extension.

Had a session with a pro and went over some issues have another session next week

Ping G15 17* and 23* hybrid to go with my G20 20* hybrid. Bag is complete now

Ping G25 driver and G20 3 wood

Ping G25 driver

Instead of moving my weight forward or onto the left foot I'm shifting weight by opening my hips at the top of my swing

wow you know what I just realized I'm cutting across the ball quite a bit. I think it's my hips opening up way too early, I'm still going to a pro but pretty sure that's my problem. There may be other issues but that is a huge problem.

Ping G20 Irons, Bridgestone E6 balls

Shambles that's exactly what I am going to do this week or as soon as I can with a local pro. I am waiting for his call back probably in the morning to see when I can get in there. While I play for fun and I am not ultra serious I am competitive with myself and would at least like to keep it in the fairway I don't care if it's 230 or 240 as long as it is playable.

funny thing is for the most part my irons even the 4 iron are very straight for me so it's something I always consider off the tee. My hybrids are nice I hit them well for the most part. I'm in the process of going from Taylormade Burner 2.0 irons to a set of G20's I got today. The Ping's just feel better to me and I was actually measured etc for the Ping's the TM irons were right off the rack I'm becoming a Ping fan. As you can see I play GI irons and my Handicap though not official is probably around 18 I can hit 90 sometimes break it pretty consistently but again not official.

I think that playing blades is fine even for a newbie his frustration level might be much higher for a while but if the newbie sticks to it and gets some instruction he will probably end up a better bal striker in the end. If I have the extra money I would probably shell out the money for a set of blades in addition to the GI I play now. I would start get used to them. Golf clubs are golf clubs I don't look up or down at anybody or laugh at what they play. Hopefully the guy seeks out instruction. I happen to hit blades pretty decently it's my driver and 3 wood that kill me.

I guess I'm off to see a pro some time this week because I hit my irons very straight most of the time but my driver and 3 wood are a mess right now

When I went to purchase my clubs the salesman said my swing speed was mid to high 90's and I purchased my driver and woods with a stiff shaft. Now no matter what I do I get a nasty slice I try to swing easier and I get a slice I swing harder take a stronger grip I slice. Now that I think about it I was swinging probably 95% or more I'm wondering if I should be not trying to swing as hard and get better control at a slower swing speed with maybe a regular flex driver and woods. What do you guys think?

yeah it's pretty poor filmed with a phone and at the wrong angle
