Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  In the episode I vented about a less than ideal golf experience that I had this past weeekend trying to play golf somewhere that had a cooler climate.  I took a risk and it didn't work out.     I also had the chance to get out and practice at the Sacramento National at Haggin Oaks dr...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  Got to do another talk and drive about golf on my way to a coastal destination in Sonoma County California.  Got to pontificate about the importance of making an American major golf championship difficult.  So many people think that birdies and eagles make for more entertaining major cham...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  It was really hard to see Rory not win the US OPEN on Father's Day when he had it in the palm of his hand.  Rory should have faced the media and shaken Bryson's hand.  Bryson earned the win of the US OPEN and won the hearts and minds of many golf fans.  Hope you have a great wee...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again fellow golfists, Got to try out a few clubs that were worked on recently which included an old fairway metal wood getting a new shaft.  I also changed shafts on an old pitching wedge.   Special shout out in this episode goes out to Mr. Tilk from Orange County California.  He messaged me this week and it wa...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again fellow Golfists, I really enjoyed watching the final round of The Masters with Mr Producer.  It was so awe inspiring to watch Scottie Scheffler win his 2nd Green Jacket at The 2024 Masters Tournament in Augusta Georgia.  His performance on that day showed me that he had a 15th club in the bag that gave him...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again fellow Golfists,  I am now a believer in the Karsten Solheim / Ping way of putting.  For years I have never been able to use a Ping style putter the way it was designed and intended.  After 40 years of perseverance I can now say that I can putt much more consistently with a Ping putter.   I had an outing w...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists, Well I was practicing with a Ping Pal 4 BeCu putter at Thunder Valley Golf Resort and it went well.  I don't know if I cracked a putter code or anything but it sure seems that I was putting a bit more consistently with my Ping Pal 4 putter.  I also made a video of my session on the yo...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!!

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists!! I purchased a new to me 2 iron from a bargain rack at Play It Again Sports and tonight was my first outing with it.  It is a Ben Hogan Apex Redline 2 iron with the Hogan Apex Extra 4 shaft.  I hit a few good ones but all in all I think that this particular shaft was worth the price.  If I...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  Well it was rare for me to actually have fun at Sacramento National on a night that had a gorgeous sunset, gorgeous moon, and a gentle breeze that kept things relatively cool on a Friday night in middle to late October 2023.  On this night I shared the time between hitting mostly fully di...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  This host made an investment in a golf training aide product that already shaved 5 strokes off my game in my most recent golf outing.  I shot 75 on a golf course where I normally shoot 80 or 81.  Under difficult conditions at my local municipal golf course I had a very good day of golf. ...

Send Me A Text Message I would love to know where you are listening to me from!! Hello again Fellow Golfists,  I wanted to share that I listened to a great historical podcast last night and thought that Conor T.
