I absolutely LOVE how personal she took the commentary on the preview show hahahaha
It’s so funny, and it’s so true. Judge a golfer by their handicap, get fancy forum names ?

Okay yep, this was a good one – as they all are.
Thanks for making Friday morning fly by.
Listening in now
Can’t wait to listen to this one. We’ve been pondering new clubs for the wife for a while now.

Heading out for golf now, but can’t wait to tune in later to hear Dan and [USER=68931]@callmedaddy[/USER]!
For you guys pondering for/with the wife, what are you thinking? Full bag, specific clubs, what’s the strat?
I think we’re going to end up maybe starting with irons. Her driver and fairway wood are a bit newer. That said, I really want her to try a hybrid since she’s never used one before.

I think the driver is where she will have the most success. She has a $15 bargain bin one :LOL: that she will hit at topgolf or the like once every couple years. Borrowed a Reva set from our club for a scramble recently and it was obviously a ton better. had a lot of success with the hybrids as well. irons and wedges were meh. I think the weight and her being so petite got to be a bigger issue with those.
I think the game plan will be new Driver and one or two hybrids; used one or two short irons, and a wedge (possibly just reshaft some i have laying around). Really pondering some of the 8 piece sets out there like the Reva but that’s still probably a little overkill at this point.
I think driver, 4 middle clubs, putter. That’ll be enough for her to cover distances and see if she wants to keep going.

I’m going to listen after this call I’m on…
[USER=68931]@callmedaddy[/USER] is a legend it was awesome to get to hang with her last year at the grandaddy and play a round with her. She didn’t have her best stuff that day but was still awesome..
Still listening, but can I put in an early request for the Preview Crew not to poke the bear this year?
Just finished up listening. I am all about the freshly cut grass as well. Brings back memories of the early morning junior tournament rounds.
And Dan needs to move over to the UW camp. It’s an absolute monster.

Showing Kim the preview show and then having her take my phone and start talking shit may be one of my favorite memories from that year.

[USER=60129]@Golfgirlguru[/USER] went hybrid last year and it might very well be her best club in the bag. 185-190 and pretty darn straight. Mid-trajectory. Gets up more than the long irons but has more control and better ball striking than a longer wood. Good club for long par 3’s as well. She had a birdie at Mauna Kea’s over the water par 3 with it and had a couple pars the other times.
I can fully support #fairwayfreein2023
I can’t remember the last time I pulled out a fairway wood and something great has happened. My FW ability seems to max out at “well that wasn’t terrible”

No spoiler here, but that was a great close to the episode. I would fully support that idea Kim threw out at the end.

Not sure yet. Probably lessons first, but I could see driver, hybrids and some irons. So, all lol.
Enjoyed this listen on a rainy drive.
1. “Here’s a story that might just get me fired, but let’s go” is a terrific opener
2. Going birdie birdie birdie HOI par is amazingly savage haha
3. Yes, I’m a BIG proponent of the post-morning-round-nap
