I’m not a big hitter, but I carry 4 wedges.

I bet some people end up with 5.

I probably heard something, then forgot the specifics.

I thought there was some health issue.

Was it another health issue?

Results vary.

So many choices in equipment now.

I tried a DF1, but I did not stick with it due to size.

I assume the newer one is more streamlined.
I probably should have given it more time, but it was BIG. Looking at it behind the golf ball was not comfortable for me.

What in the world were Duke coaches thinking? ….. Trying to push the ball up the court? ….. Force UConn to foul you, not turn it over

Throwing over size is a dumb idea in Church league, rec league, and middle school basketball.

There were on 10 seconds in the clock.
Hold 3 counts. Pivot. Bounce. Hold. They have to foul.

Duke had a time out.

That was poor coaching and poor execution.

as I play more: if you play more, it’s probably because you are getting better, and playing more helps you get better. It’s a loop.

my swing will get into a better groove: true, but score involves putting/chipping/ball striking/course management so your improvement will be a combination of these attributes- ball striking is certainly the one that will determine your best potential, but golfers can lower scores by leaning into better more realistic target selection and short game refinement.

and will that change how I fit into the club today: it could, but once you’ve got fitted once, it’s a gateway drug, and you will “NEED” shiny, new toys to get better..

To be honest, most of us NEED multiple sets of clubs.

Golf is an addiction.

re: Bama fans. How angry are you with Holloway?

Posted by makersmark1 on 3/27/26 at 9:49 pm to dirtsandwich

Holloway would have given them some backcourt depth, but the game was won in the front court by Michigan in the second half.

Philon needed more shots in second half.

Put the bigs at Florida with Bama’s backcourt and you could make a final 4.

Incident.

Rollovers are purposeful sometimes. He needs a mental health evaluation.

Somebody in his life needs to be brave enough to speak up and get him some help. He is not going to find the answers he needs in alcohol and illicit drugs.
