I had MCC +4s on my clubs for a long time but my fingers would always feel strained after a round. These are so much more comfortable. May have messed up the swing weight but I'll live with it for this season.

As a person who works with blood clot removal fairly regularly, korda kind of fits the bill for who is overall healthy but also be at risk for a random blood clot. Younger white female, history of COVID, slender/lean bodies tend to have somewhat narrower subclavian veins, also possibly taking hormonal birth control is another huge risk for a random clot. Not that I know any of her situation but it's what I tend to see at the hospital.

Cart chat: I love to walk my home course as the longest walk from one green to the next tee is like 100m. I was golfing in Arizona a couple weeks ago though and holy poo poo: it was scorching hot and I had to drive my cart about 3 minutes flat out between some of the holes. Would have taken forever to play a round and I may have dropped dead in the heat while I did it. The other thing about Arizona is dryness....... Never played in conditions like that. I was getting insane rollouts (thin shot with my 3 hybrid went over 290 yards) and the "rough" didn't even slow my ball down. Had a number of layups that landed in the fairway and rolled through 10 yards of rough to end up in a hazard. Overall I wasn't too pleased with my score on the first round of the year with new clubs. They're hollow body "game improvement" irons with stronger lofts than I'm used to so I had a lot of "good" shots that sailed over the green... but did have a couple really nice pars which included a 300+ yard drive, nice sand save and chip, and some good putts! Hopes are high to be in the 80s on my home course by the end of the season especially once I get used to the new equipment

Scary stuff for her but hopefully she will fully recover and get back to her winning ways.

New record. Played behind a six ball. Mom, dad and four kids under the age of ten, all playing with the two sets of clubs mom and dad brought. Oh, and the kids drove the carts sometimes. They had the first tee time on a Friday. They had not, however, informed the course. They booked a two ball and paid for two. Not sure how they wrangled two carts.

if you have an Athletic subscription, one of their golf writers pulled a golden ticket at Augusta and got to play in the media round on Monday after The Masters. can't copy/paste the whole thing in there but a couple highlights: quote:My goal was to break a hundred and not 1) embarrass myself or 2) injure myself. Hang the banner: Mission Accomplished. wonderful stuff about playing Augusta (from the members', of course) without having any time to wrap your head around the fact you're playing Augusta.

First round under 90 today with an 86. Irons were absolutely on fire on the back 9, I was pinning approach shots within 10 feet. Now to be psychologically ready to shot 115 next time out.

That final round was the full Spieth experience. Two eagles, long putts made, 3 footers missed, almost holing out from a bunker to win the playoff. It’s really hard to watch his practice swing and ever imagine he’s going to hit it well but he struck the poo poo out of the ball this week.

Weather has been too bad to play around here so I've been hitting the range a lot with the Garmin R10 in tow. Something is hosed up in either my clubs or (more likely) my swing because my 8-PW, 52, and 56 all go about the same distance. Within about 1 or 2 yds of each other. I was hoping to get custom fitted this year, but I think I'll spend that money of lessons instead.

Mederlock posted:How do you like the R10? Do you like having more data about your swing and shot than you know what to do with? Do you like having auto recorded videos everytime you hit a shot? Do you just wanna see some raw fuckin' numbers? If yes, then the R10 is amazing. I've not tried playing any of the games for it, and I don't have an indoor sim to plug it into E6 or anything so I can't speak to that, but for just cracking out balls at the range it's great. I have found a single hiccup with it: It catches a lot of false positives in the rain as it will often pickup raindrops as the start of a swing, so if you're not paying attention to the little LED it can miss some shots. But that's only when it's raining and the wind is blowing raindrops toward you.

I hung up three nets in my garage I bought from Harbor Freight, and use the R10 in my garage. It's a great way to work on your swing. I haven't used any of the games, as all I care about is launch angle and side spin. I highly recommend it if you need a cheap way to see whats going on with your game in the winter.

The primary thing stopping me is the empty space. We're planning on moving in the next year or so and the number one requirement for me is to have a space for a sim. Even if it's an empty garage bay I don't care.

Yolo round booked at McCleary GC in Vancouver because a buddy noticed a time slot came available this weekend. Each of us used a different service to check the weather forecast, each service is giving us a different result. I'm packing for possible rain and hoping I'm wrong.

Yeah, the weather forecast is more of a "general suggestion" than an actual forecast around here. If the chance of rain is less than about 70-80% then it's worth taking the gamble on trying to get a round in. We usually pack for the worst, but hope for the best, lightweight packable rain jackets, waterproof shoes, and rain gloves are key. Usually when it's raining it's also going to be at least a bit windy so I find umbrellas more of a hindrance than a help.

Bethpage Black is just brutally hard. It’s unfair. Definitely glad I played there once and it was a cool experience, but I don’t think I’ll be doing it again, unless I somehow become a scratch golfer one day. Like, a 470 yard, uphill par 4, is just mean. And that’s from the whites! There were so many times where we were like, ok here’s a par 5. Nope. Having to lay up on a par 4 when you hit a 230 yard drive dead center of the fairway  My phone says we walked over 10 miles while playing. A ton of that was up/downhill. My body is hurting, for sure. Pin placements were crazy too. Like 5 feet from the front edge of the green, protected by bunkers in front, while sloping down towards the back. Unless you have crazy backspin you can’t possibly land it close. I have some pictures that I’ll post when I figure out how to phone post them.

Man that sounds brutal, but I still wanna do it! For images, I've found it easiest to create a imgur album and just link that. The imgur phone app is super easy to use.
