Here we go. We got a shitpile of rain in the last 36 hours so I’m not gonna try and play from the back tees. Falconhead gc in Austin, Blue tees - ~6100 yards, 70.2/128sh rating. Plenty of golf course. Feels weird af carrying my bag without the driver. There’s nowhere to rest my arm when I walk!

Until I read this, I never even thought about where my arm went when I carry. Now I can’t stop thinking about the fact that I’m not even sure what the hell I do thanks to being a member of the mafia for too long.

I am a mental midget. Was +6 standing in the middle of the 17 fairway holding a knockdown wedge from 110 into the wind. Make 6 there, and bogey 18 for good measure. 40-41/81.

Hit the long irons really well all day. Two swings with lack of focus hurt me (15 into the hazard and 17 holding wedge). Every shot counts, kids.

Onward!

If anyone finds some LH blades for under say $500 I am on the hunt to join some YOTB fun.

Lefty mizuno silver cups. Don’t know how new you’re looking or what your specs are.

These have come down a little recently and may come down more.

@anon3021505, great pod with @Randy. I have had Titleist 710 CB irons since 2008. When asked what my next set would be, I would always reply something more forgiving. Even though my next set of real irons may not be blades, I am so far in on The Blade Challenge. My goal is to find a set of MacGregor VIP blades preferably 2-P, but will settle for less. Recruiting @kevjones to play Lick Creek GC from the blues. Updates to come.

planning an attempt on Sat with some MP4s. Nothing would make me happier than to take my father in laws money while only playing blades against his G series grave diggers.

@phegs32 , might know a place. Looks like they’re either 2-9 or 3-PW though.

@JDGAFFLIN , any idea if these VIPs are still there?

thanks man for the links!
