I got fitted for and ordered the new Zxi5s last Saturday and was told 2-3 weeks for delivery. I just got the call today that my order came in. Gonna sneak out of the office early and go pick them up. Super excited. I was worried with them being new and custom (2* flat), they’d take a little longer. So for anyone wondering about delivery times, there you go.

Might have one day to golf while family recuperates from theme parks. Staying at Universal with no car so would need to taxi. Not taking my clubs so I’ll also need to rent. Any suggestions for one round? Budget of say $250 but could go higher for the right opportunity.

Well I searched around and got some ideas but my plans already got messed up. I’m in town Wednesday to Sunday. Was hoping to play Biltmore (where I’m staying), then Quintero, then Saguro, then Cholla and maybe sneak in one more round. Well my flight on Wednesday is later than I thought and Biltmore had no times. No big deal, I’ll find a range or something. I was able to book Quintero but apparently we-ko-pa is pretty booked up.

So, my question is, where else should I look? What’s a round that I can book for twilight on Wednesday that I’ll enjoy but might not finish? What courses should I look at if I can’t get Quintero? I was considering gray hawk or TPC but everyone I know says TPC isn’t

Went for a fitting to update my bag that’s been pieced together with clubs from 2008-2013 and learned I’m weird. I apparently swing really fast, with some clubs. My 7 iron was consistently 88-90 MPH. The problem was my 5 iron speed was also consistently 88-90 MPH and my driver speed was only 101-103. The main issue I was looking to fix was the top of my bag being gapped better but as a result of my weird clustered swing speed, nothing the fitter did really changed anything. I hit several brands of irons, hybrids, and woods and my numbers didn’t change much. The fitter landed on most of my problem being that my swing speeds being so similar across clubs that gapping them properly would be dif

Do wet range balls impact carry? Went to the range the other day, second time using a top tracer range and across the board all my yardages were 7-10 yds shorter than the last time I was there. It’s been raining a bunch (CA) and the range was pretty soaked. Is it the ball’s fault or did I manage to actually get worse at this?

I’m a bad golfer (23 handicap) and yesterday was a great example of the highs and lows. My wife will humor my stories but only other golfers will truly understand. So in no particular order, here are my adventures from yesterday.

1. Spent the first 13 holes catching everything just a little off. Not so bad that it was unplayable, just costing myself yardage by being inconsistent. So I get to 14, a par 3 playing 155 to the middle but the flag is in the back with the edge at 177 slightly up hill. I tell myself club up and play for poor contact, so I grab a 5 iron and proceed to go Tiger Woods on that thing, flushed it with a baby draw and hit that thing 200+. Flew the green, the first cut, t
