Fantastic recap! Enjoy those new sticks!Shaft-UP #2 write up
What a great experience, I can not say enough great things about the whole trip and @JB @DannyLe @fuffle master and @JDSPGA are all wonderful people.
Left Boston on Tuesday and met up with @fuffle master in Philly prior to flying to Saint Louis. So @fuffle master and I board the plane to leave for Saint Louis and he says "man I hope the person who sits next to me is small" or something like that. Little did he know the person that was sitting next to him was right there and was not that small, but not too big either. That was quite funny.
When we got to Saint Louis I thought one of my bags did not make the trip, but we found it in the AA office. I have a bad rep so they might have been trying to bust me. Tried to grab an Uber to the hotel but it was $100, Lyft was $40 or something, remember folks price shop. Unfortunately, we gave the Lyft guy the wrong address, fortunately the correct hotel was the way we were going. I think we got in about 11pm. I did not sleep much the night before and was gassed.
Woke up Thursday morning at like 6am again could not sleep and we met up with @JB and @DannyLe in the parking lot, albeit in the wrong spot, and off to breakfast we go. After Breakfast went to Bellerive and had a great tour of the place, thanks to @JDSPGA . As soon as you get close to Bellerive you can see how nice it is. Then you drive through the brick posts and the gates and heaven! There is so much history there, great pictures and memorabilia and trophies. The facilities were pristine! Always enter these contests, I was lackadaisical on these in the past never again.
@fuffle master got fitted first and I was trying to listen what @DannyLe was saying. But I kept on getting distracted by the view. I was next up and we tried the ST-x, I don't think we ever did the Z. When hitting my BB Fusion driver @DannyLe could see the slice at the end. With the ST-X head we tried a number of shafts and each time hitting them you could see it getting dialed in a bit better. I was starting to really connect and get a good ball speed # (146-147 consistently) and good spin. Eventually the Helium 5F4 was the winning shaft. The head was an ST-X 12* and holy moly that is a nice looking club! That fitting was the start of a great summer o' golf.
After the fitting we had a great lunch at the course, I got the cobb salad but I am still thinking about the adult grill cheese with bacon and sweet potato fries. Then we tee off at 12:50 I think. My golfing was not the greatest but @fuffle master carried us the front nine. Luckily I was better on the back nine and helped out. I have a tendency to pull to much with my shoulders which leads to poor golf shots.
We lost the match which stinks, but I feel like we won the day as it was great.
Went back, showered, and out to dinner at Firebirds which was so tasty, I nice Pineapple Martini, couple of G&T's some great steak, deviled eggs, toasted ravioli's and topped off with Creme Brulee Cheesecake. OMG how good. There are so many good food pics. We just all talked and laughed and drank and ate, what could be better!
I think I crashed by 10pm, lightweight.
Thursday was another 6am wakeup, ready to go for an 8:20 or so tee time. The weather was a bit sunnier and temps were a bit warmer. Another day of great company and great golf. @JB @DannyLe and @JDSPGA all could really hit the ball. That was fun to watch. @fuffle master was d@mn good too. I think we all discovered we have a peanuts (nis?) allergy that day. The match Thursday was not as close as Wednesday's but just as fun. So many great memories and pictures.
The fitting was truly eye opening, I had never been fitted before but will never make that mistake again. I was telling @DannyLe how I was looking at getting fit and purchasing the 921 HMP's and by then he had seen enough of my swing to recommend the recoil 95 F4 shafts with all other settings standard. Those are now ordered.
After sweet goodbye's and safe travels and gratitudes to @JB and @JDSPGA @DannyLe drove @fuffle master and myself to the airport. Unfortunately all of our flights were delayed, @fuffle master got out first, so @DannyLe and myself drank. I got out next a couple of hours late and landed in DC to find out my Boston flight was not leaving until 1:20am, 3 hours late. So I sat at the bar and drank LOL, "I don't got no problems, shut up", "I love ya, man". Watched the B's win and the Lakers lose landed in Boston at 3am and now back to real life and work and such.
But all is good as I got to go on a great experience. I was just trying to read through all the thread and look at all the pictures we took and its all smiles.
Thank you to the forum, @JB @DannyLe @fuffle master and @JDSPGA you guys are awesome.
Stop! Fuffle time.
@fuffle master did get some heat for the head covers. I got heat from my disgustingly old IBM blue towel.
