The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

Played Camillus.

My hometown. Played CCC twice a week throughout high school. Haven't been back since. With the hilly terrain, it's a good workout when you're walking!

It’s very hilly with lots of uphill downhill side hill lies and blind shots. We tobogganed down #9 when we were kids.
Went golfing yesterday instead of skiing as golf game needs more practice than the skiing game and a friend asked me to join him. Twas another good day to play and shots were improved. No birdies yet but had putts at em.

Is anyone considering switching to the Bryson DeChambeau-style “Every Iron is the same length” set?

I keep getting ads in my Instagram. Part of me thinks it will be easier to do a repeatable swing if every club is the same length. Another part of me thinks it’s fine the way it is.

All my wedges are the same length and have been so for years. I've never considered doing the rest, but I'm not sure why not. Like you say it's fine with me the way it is but it also kinda makes sense.

I guess to a certain extent. But are you still playing with persimmons & hickory shafts?

I just had my old persimmon 5-wood regripped and will continue to use it. There's nothing like the feeling when you hit a persimmon correctly. That's my one throwback move.

Had my father’s Jack Nicklaus persimmon driver tuned up years ago. Used it before the metal “woods” came out. It goes straight but lower not longer. Sounds nice too. Wore a hole in the grip and if fits like a glove.

Pro has a set of blades he made years ago. When he's hitting it "bad" he takes the 2 iron to the range to get dialed back in. The thing is the size of a teaspoon, all I could do with it is shave.

1. Yeah, of course
2 the 1/8 MicMak heritage my aunt insists I’m entitled to is deeply offended by your statement. I thought you were cool bro. WTF?
3 Isn’t it accepted wisdom that skiing and golf are two of the only sports where you can buy performance? IE: upgrading your gear usually upgrades your game.
