    Today is our Member Member Tournament. I’ve played with the same partner for years, but we had to drop out this year, as I’m still not able to play. I felt really bad when I had to tell him I’d be out until just a few minutes ago when he sent me a text saying “how lucky are we not to have to...

    You’ve had a rough couple of weeks, Boggy. I also lost my dad this year. It was a very strange/sad feeling when I realized I was now the oldest in my family. It’s hard not to think about those who are gone during the Holidays, but try to do your best to stay strong for your family, especially...

    I give the Mizuno’s 3 weeks. 😜

    Agree to disagree. Do you consider sole and bounce when you buy a set of irons? I’m betting you do, and with an iron it’s never as big as the difference between 14* and 8*. (It also sounds like you have very little experience playing off tightly shaved Bermuda grass)

    Our games seem very similar. 😉

    I keep saying it (and I realize how annoying it can be) but i don’t think a lot of people really understand what being a scratch golfer is. Especially from the Senior tees.

    They’re terrific clubs, no doubt about it. I wish I could have them in my bag down here.

    Enjoy! I sold my 54* CBX about 6 months ago. I absolutely loved it on full and partial swings from 60- 80 yards. The bounce (or that Srixon sole) killed me off the tight lies and hard packed bunkers down here. I had to use a 58-6 RTX for those type shots. The CBX is a great club though. If I was...

    I’ve got to ask… under your avatar it says your handicap is 26.2? Was that ever the case recently?

    Interesting reading here vis a vis playing under 5000 yards in an effort to shoot lower and maybe even try to shoot even par. Well done.👏🏻 I have to admit that a few of you have piqued my interest, and I’m going to do a 180 here and say you’ve convinced me it would be an interesting and fun...

    I think you’re spot on about the par 4’s, even when playing a distance like 4800. Trust me, I’m all about playing the correct tees, but I also want to hit clubs other than wedge into a green. I’m never going to get down to where you and Mike are handicap wise, because I don’t have the...

    You can ask @SC Putter and he’ll tell you how much I agree with you about the divot board. Earlier this year I was in a funk with my swing, and couldn’t figure out how to fix it. I signed up for a lesson package with a woman who teaches at my club. She watched me hit a few balls and said, “this...

    Just out of curiosity how does the offset and GI correction on your 0211’s and your 921 HM‘s compare to the DCB? It’s all personal, but I found the 0211’s to pretty much mirror the DCB ( except one was cast the other was “forged”) and the Hot metal 923 more forgiving than both.

    You played some damn good golf with those DCBs for a long time. I totally understand being excited over your Srixons, but with all due respect, I think you’re overstating things a bit here. Especially since you’re playing the Recoil Darts in both sets. That said, I hope you love the new sticks...

    Excellent points, Bob. There’s not one thing here I disagree with. In fact what you’ve stated here echoes my approach to playing the game and trying to get better. What I was trying to say earlier, (but you and @boggyman said much more clearly) is that no single shot shape is simply better than...

    Good point about the fade when in between clubs. 👍 I’m surprised you’re seeing that much difference between the ZX5 and the DCBs. To me the Srixon 5’s compare to the Apex 21’s and while there was a difference between them and the DCBs it wasn’t really all that much.

    I’m not disagreeing with you or @1860VS here, but I think most of us need to remember “senior golfers” is a term with a very wide parameter. 50 year olds consider themselves, and play in Senior tournaments yet my game is nothing like it was 20 years ago when I was 50. I think we’d all agree...

    I get your reasoning, but no. I don’t think it would. I was talking about the lack of mid weight Senior flex options in graphite. What you’d be comparing are the differences between mid weight steel and lightweight graphite, no? Also, are the TT90 shafts Senior or Regular flex? Even if they are...

    Just to expound on my complaint about lightweight A flex shafts, the entire “Senior” category was sold a bill of goods that made no sense up until less than 3 years ago when a few OEMs began offering high launch (HL) options to compete with the growing popularity of hybrid iron sets among lower...
