YOTB Presents: The Blade Challenge

I was more so speaking to my sources of where I find things. eBay is great. People have their parameters and searches saved, they don’t need my help with that.

Was not bashing eBay

No problem. I used to love hitting up play it again sports, they always had dumped off blades for next to nothing but they are all closed around here.

I perused 2nd swing and scratched together a set of old MP60s (3i-5i) and MP32s (6i-PW) that I’m really pumped about and have zero doubt they qualify for the challenge.

Nothing gets me spending frivolously like this damned message board that I spend money to message on.

Oooooo an interesting little development tonight, friends.

My daughter and I ran out for 9 holes and I figured since I played like a donkey today, I may as well see what’s good with a little Bladey Eighty test run.

Reasons for optimism: ball striking clinic; 4 iron off the tee, not that big of a problem; putted like shit and still wound up +5 thru 14

Reasons for pessimism: almost no chance I hit the ball that well again and I was still ‘on pace’ for 77 at best; putting is extremely hard and I am extremely shitty at it; +5 and those 2 one putts were decent length.

Feels good though. Feels right.

One caveat: I was about 25 feet out on 9 and my kid screams DAD I HAVE TO PEE, so I picked up and gave myself a two putt. Hahahaha.

I literally picked up my daughter and hung her back on the 7th hole a couple weeks ago, so she could pee behind a tree…thankful there wasn’t anyone within 3 holes of us, but dude, there needs to be more pee spots on a golf course.

Fresh off my Blady Eighties performance at Chambers Bay where I shot 87 on the replay round of the Olympic Prolific I fully committed to the blade life. Inspirational shit.

It’s 7:11 on a Friday and I’m 14 hours from my tee time, but I have a proclamation for the thread:

The Blade Challenge falls tomorrow. It is decided.

Pics and success and champagne and victory laps and everything else tomorrow.

As someone that has looked at thousands of scorecards as part of my profession, this has to be one the cleanest looking cards I have ever seen.

It’s too hot to be out there if it’s not moving. Save the W for a better day

I had it right where I wanted it through 10, but a bad lie double, then great bogey, lost ball double and I lost interest. Shoulda just walked off. Hahahaha.

Not sure if you’re referring to the actual card design or my play but I can assure you my game has never and will never be described as clean.

I was actually referring to the clarity of your penmanship
