    Do you wear sandals when you travel?

    Certainly the norm for racers and any fishing boat is clean deck shoes but most boaters are not competitive sailers. For recreational boating, common etiquette is to remove your shoes or certainly ask before boarding and if shoes are allowed, carefully inspect before boarding. A shoe with a...

    Wilson Dynapower Forged Irons Review

    I play the Srixon ZX MKii combo set in my signature. I’m expecting these DPF’s to offer a bit more distance and forgiveness especially with the shorter irons. Distance control and being able to flight the ball up or down is important and I’m hopeful theses will excel in those areas. With the...

    Back Issues and Golf

    I have some structural issues in lower back, including mild scoliosis and was fighting back pain from golf a decade ago. I permanently changed my swing with a much larger hip turn on the backswing about seven years ago to take some pressure off of my back and it worked. I now rarely have any...

    Do you wear sandals when you travel?

    Very strange. It’s the common etiquette. We were just on a sunset charter two days ago and they had basket for everyone to remove their shoes before boarding.

    Do you wear sandals when you travel?

    Boating etiquette is to always remove you shoes before boarding unless it’s a fishing boat. Barefoot is the standard so if you own a boat your going to see a lot of bare feet. :)

    Do you wear sandals when you travel?

    I’d never wear sandals or flip flops when traveling by plane but I see others doing it. I don’t generally drive a car with sandals or flip flops but when boating it’s barefoot or flip flops. I’m in flip flops or barefoot often enough that I almost never have the golfer tan lines on my ankles...

    What are you drinking?

    We’ve downed a couple cases of those Kona Big Waves while on a Hawaii family vacation with our son, oldest daughter, and her finance this last week. We visited a tasty rum distillery yesterday as well. Heading home tomorrow but it’s been a fantastic week.

    Left dash ProV1X - anyone try or gonna try em?

    One of my weekly playing partners who has ball speed of about 170mph buts spins it too much put the left dash into play last year and he picked up 10-15 yards of distance.

    The Official 2024 NFL Thread

    I love to look at the draft grades but we really won’t know for another couple of years how this draft class will look. The big question now is who is this years Ivan Pace Jr. He went undrafted last year and made the Pro Football Focus all rookie team. They graded him for the season as the...

    Would this stop you from playing?

    The same for me. I expect to have some rain and wind with temps in the low 50’s when we go to Scotland in May.

    Wilson Dynapower Forged Irons Review

    My initial thought was to have the shorter irons bent a little weaker to match the lofts I’m used to but I’ll be ordering stock lofts because it’s better to test them like Wilson recommends so I can experience any odd gapping and adjust from there. I had to bend a couple of my ZX blended set...

    Thinking about a Tesla

    Zero odd wear issues. I rarely rotate my tires and each set has worn perfectly evenly over 149,000 miles I’ve owned it. I’ve never replaced any suspension parts.

    Wilson Dynapower Forged Irons Review

    Good stuff! Thanks for sharing all the details of your AI fitting. I just spoke with our local PGASS and am going in Monday for a fitting . I’ve already decided I’m going to order the 3 or 4 iron to fill in the gap between my 5 iron and my 4 wood.

    TESTERS Congrats! You are Testing Wilson Dynapower Forged

    Wow, what a great surprise and honor to get the nod. I‘m on a family vacation until Sunday but I’ll be able to get in Monday or Tuesday to one of the four AI Fit centers in the Minneapolis area. I have a long history and soft spot for Wilson having gotten my start back at age 13 in 1978 with...

    Thinking about a Tesla

    When you see them it’s hard I believe that a car manufacturer had the balls to build it.
