  1. Theres a really nice County Club about 5 min from my house that is having a super good deal for new members. Brookside Country Club...but the monthly dues are like $600/month which is ridiculous to me. Id love to have a home base but i cant shell out that cash monthly.
  2. Years ago on vacation in the DR, i bought a hand rolled cigar from the shop at the resort. I paid like $14 or something wacked for this thing. It was sooo strong and made the tip of my tonge tingle. I actually had to vomit about an hour after i was done. The taste did not leave my mouth for like 48hours! And i brushed and gargled and ate everything to try and remove the harshness. Today, i dont really smoke. Maybe once a quarter ill have a very mild one with my buddy on the course. Pain in the tuckass carrying a cigar and my other golf stuff at the same time.
  3. So im getting back into the game after a lonng time away. Just got fitted for new clubs and im super ready to go. Ive been reading and researching and watching videos on swing thoughts and theories for the past few monhs. 5SK, Impact, Chuck Evans, SnT...ive been watching them all and developing what i think....knowing what my limitations are...and developing a plan for a future practice routine once the weather permits. I want to take the seemingly best drills out there (my preference) and commit to the same routine repeatedly while tracking results. The overarching theme and direction/focus is from LSW where my practice will be segmented into the 65/25/15 ratio.
  4. My buddy is SUPER slow and its really frustrating when groups are behind us. I almost just play like hes not even there. On the flipside, i use the ball wash machine more frequently than i should. Is that wrong?

  9. Just made the move to Ooma. Saving about $38/m for phone service. If i could have my way, id cancel the home phone altogether but my better half is not yet ready. Ill take the savings though. Still have solid cable internet and cable TV with DVR and HD. Cant do anything anout the net. The cable i have netflix and amazon prime, a smart tv, xbox, etc. I really only watch Penn State football, Syracuse Orange basketball, live big time sports events, and golf (any and all).

  11. I bought the 4-GW this past fall but only played about 8-10 rounds. After a few years layoff of serious golf, this past year i decided to get back into it. I knew back in the Spring that i needed to replace my old set of TM LCG's that ive had since high school. For some reason, i became infatuated with Mizuno. Have no idea where it came from. Over the summer, i spent countless hours researching clubs, testing at the range, etc. Along the way, i decided that the MP-54's were the clubs for me. The orange JPX's were too thick and i cared little for the color. So, for a few months, i hit the 54's alot. The handicap range scared me considering my long layoff, the blade style, and the expense vs right fit. Then the 850's came out...whoa... I planned my fitting for when the 850's would arrive at Club Champion. During my fitting, i hit my LCG's for the baseline. As expected, super short but a consistent draw. Then i hit about 5 different shafts, and 5 different irons. With the Trackman data right in front of me, it was super obvious that the 850's with PXi 6.0 were the longest and had the best smash factor. Shot dispersion was consistently right with all irons i tried, as opposed to my LCG draw. Interesting that i had to request to hit the 54's during the session. I guess my fitter could tell from my swing that the 54's would not be the right fit. But, i just had to hit them and compare to all the other clubs that i hit...especially the 850's. So i hit about 5/6 shots that were straight and consistently 10-15 yrds shorter then the 850. Trackman helped make my decision. Today, i now know that the lofts are significantly different and theres a part of me that thinks i missed the chance at the 54's. I think if i knew the loft difference going in, i would feel better. Chalk it up to inexperience. Just to be clear, i love the 850's. They are super nice clubs that i hope will help me as i work through truly studying my swing....which is my main focus know. The equipment excuse is officially off the table. .
  12. Early fall, i bit the bullet and purchased a new set. The TM LCG's were just not cutting it after 15 years. Great clubs though. I scheduled a whole bag fitting at Club Champion in Philly. Here's what i bought: Ping G30+ 3W w/ VTS Silver shaft Mizuno MP H5 3 iron w/ PXi 6.0 shafts Mizuno JPX 850 forged 4-GW Mizuno MP T5 52 and 58 wedges black ion Scotty Cameron Newport Select 2.5 with SuperStroke Slim 3.0 White Golf Pride Tour Wraps So no driver purchase because i did not see that big of an improvement on the Trackman data compared to my current driver. The recommended driver was the Ping G30 9.0 with Oban Kioshi Purple shaft. Plus i was super tired after 2.5 hrs of swinging. I do plan on going back for my driver fitting sometime in the near future. Looking forward to trying the Titlest 915.
  13. Quick post on my new stand bag. So after researching countless bags, i really like the Sun Mountain setup. When the 2015 C-130S was announced, i jumped at the chance to purchase one before the holidays. I ordered through an online retailer who sent me the C-130 instead of the C-130S. I was so close to keeping the C-130 but i really wanted the lighter bag with a stand for the range and possibly walking. Reluctantly i made the swap and now have the bag that i originally ordered. Couple things: - its definitely not a lightweight bag - its not 'technically' a C-130 stand bag -- i did read that the C-130S is an updated version of the Hybrid bag. (one difference being no putter well which i was hoping would be included) - i wish that it had a better strap for walking which i will definitely replace - the stand legs seem a bit fragile - nice pockets of various sizes, linings, etc - 14 slots Overall, Im very pleased and will purchase from Sun Mountain again.
