Boring times so maybe a highlight or 2. Usual hour workout at 9 am. Went out and swing the Superspeed clubs and my driver .

When I was a boy growing up in Kansas our Friday and Saturday nights usually included watching the bug zapper for entertainment.😁

Now THAT'S entertainment!! We were too poor for a bug zapper. We had those sticky trap thingies.

My dad was too cheap. When we finally got an AC unit he wouldn't turn it on and there was no way he was plugging in a bug zapper lol.

Shell No Pest Strips. You see them now in the back of Greek pizza shops hanging over the meat for the Gyro.

Starting a reshaft of my wilson pi5s from TT Extralite x to Nippon 1050 GH S. There is a bit of controversy with the new shafts.......not sure if these are .370 or .355.

backinit I changed out the XP95 R300 shafts in my Rogues to these 1050GH S shafts. BIG difference in feel and play, even with the stiffer flex. Mine were .370.

Trying to get a tip weight out of a V-Steel head I picked up with a bunch of others. Must've had a steel shaft in it since there wouldn't be enough insertion depth otherwise. If that's successful, I have a nice YS-7 .350" shaft waiting that must have been in another fairway since it's too short for a driver. A couple of other heads to clean up, shaft up, give 'em a try, then send them packing.

I am installing some extensions into a set of Cally Rogue X graphite irons. I am using these extenders. They are a bit expensive but you stick the graduated gauge into the shaft butt end until it gets snug and match the color on the gauge to the color to the chart. There are 12 different graphite sizes and 5 for steel. These are fluted on the end that goes into the shaft. They fit very snuggly and do not require any tape build up to match the shaft ID. You can extend a club out 2 - 3 inches depending on flex. My Rogue irons were listed at (-1/2") in length and 2° flat. I am taking them out 2 1/2" to my usual +2" (yes, 38" wedges). 😁

Rickochet Where'd you get those? They are fancy!!!

backinit

Par4QC Yep, mine are marked .355, but in reality are .370...fitting the 4 and 5 iron now. At least they are cut to length. I'm not tipping them so there is one thing I don't have to mess with.

YourProGolfShop, based in Louisville. If you only get extenders you can select $2.75 USPS envelope shipping. He has an EBAY shop also. I have seem them on EBAY and other websites as well. Quick shipping. Scroll down under "Description" for more info. One thing the info sheet says that the online doesn't is regarding length. Online it recommends 2" max extension for "swinging clubs." The info sheet says 2" max for S and X flex clubs, 2 1/2" for R flex, and 3" for A or L.

Rainy day, poop detail, then get some pension transfer shit notarized. Did my wife’s 401k rollover since were both out of real jobs. He a few putts downstairs, played the piano.

Reactivated SiriusXM. This time I also downloaded the app for my iPad and iPhone. Currently listening to the Hour long Dee Snider interview Eddie Trunk just did last month.

Cut the lawn and vacuum this morning and a Private course invite this afternoon. Hate to say no because its a good buddy, great course and free, however being the invitee I am somewhat obligated to buy a round of beers and pick up the apres golf eats and drinks tab, which will amount to more than the $150 guest green fee.

KCee

Weirfan Have your wife call about the time the round ends and then say "guys I'm so sorry, but I have to go. You know how it is with the old ball & chain". Maybe throw them a few bucks for the 1st round and then you cut and run 😀

ha !

I have been working on a plan, it is legit....i have two senior dogs and have said I will drive myself and leave after the round early to get back to feed and let them out. I will buy a couple rounds on the course and leave after. Obviously will offer to pay for the round but it is always met with a no. I treat him at my course but my guest rate is 1/4 of his .

Cheap Ass Bastage. Love the free stuff, Eh?

Who doesnt like free stuff ?

but cheap...not at all which all the guys here who have played rounds with me at Desert Storm will hopefully attest to.....

Its close buds, we Always offer to pay for the round, but the host says no, friends like having each other around🙂
likewise I treat them when they play at my course, did for 3 buds on Monday

buying two rounds of 4 beers will run $80 , I will treat him at my course a couple times this month so it will all balance out , plus I do all his clubwork for free so he is happy. Have 2 wedges to install kinnetix shafts in on the bench now to bring this aft.

You have no idea. Peter is one of the most generous individuals I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

That would be $10 per beer. Who in the hell drinks $10 beer?

For a tall can of beer at a course up here it is $7-$10 a pop and you cannot bring your own. One of the members from this club was recently booted out for being caught doing that ( it was his 3rd strike)

i believe at the course today it is $9 plus 13% tax plus tip (20% ) so ya adds up.
$5 for a Poweaide so might as well have a beer😉

go to a pro sports game in town and its closer to $20 for a large draft 🙁

That's the Canadian beer price after all the taxes they pay to get free health care.
