Better late than never

I should have shelved my Hogan irons long ago. That and performed an exercism on my game. My MacGregors are working very well right now. The ball striking which has been missing all year and crushing my confidence, is back.

I’m finally feeling the ball compress when I hit iron shots. I’m finally seeing the ball launch nice and high, flying far. I’m finally hitting my shots the distances I’m accustomed to. I’m shaving the skins of golf balls with crisp strikes. It is no longer a mystery how far, usually short, my approach shots will go.

Finally, thank the golf gods, I’m seeing shots go AT the pin. For a while I was just hoping to hit a green.

It is too late for me to compete in much here except my league, which goes to the end of October. All the major local tournaments are over and the season will be winding down in a couple of months here, when the snow flies. So my A game missed out on the major tournaments here. But I finally feel like I can hit a golf shot. I can’t express what a relief that is. I’ve been close to hanging up the sticks until next year. Close.

Better late than never.

Went to the range last night and hit well over 200 balls, two jumbo buckets. This is the most balls I’ve probably ever hit in one session. The tennis elbow / golfer’s elbow is doing much better than I expected.

I tested out the new Titleist AP1, AP2, CB and MB irons.

I also tried out the Weszty Zt – C and Double-U irons. Weszty is a loyal Golf Space member whose profile can be found here .

I shot a bunch of pictures which I’ll be posting soon as well.

I’ve created a Weszty image gallery which can be found here.

I’ve added images of all the new Titleist fall 2009 irons to my Titleist gallery.

My reviews of these irons will be coming soon so stay tuned.

Titleist box Two days ago I had a box on my doorstep. This isn’t an unusual event. There are boxes on my doorstep almost every day.

This time around was special. It is always a good day when a box from this company is waiting to be opened, and the shiny tools inside waiting to be discovered… and played.

Coming soon: reviews of all the new Titleist irons which are coming out this fall!

Oh man if only Tom Watson could have parred the 72nd hole at the British Open. That would have been one of the biggest moments in sports history. Still, that was one of the most awesome performances I’ve seen, and the most fun I’ve had watching golf all year.

Today is Tom’s 60th birthday. HOG best wishes to Tom Watson.

Burglarized

For the 2nd time in about three weeks HOG world headquarters has been burglarized. This time they got away with a 17″ Apple laptop and all of mine and my kids’ video game systems and games. Xbox360’s, Nintendo Wii, Playstation portables etc. I was planning on reviewing Tiger Woods PGA 2010 for the Nintendo Wii, but now that isn’t looking too promising until I see if I can replace the thing.

I dread talking to my insurance company because of how they depreciate items and give you $.14 for something which cost $250 new. Not to mention the $500 deductible.

This is not cool. Thank goodness the golf clubs weren’t taken or I’d be really unhappy.
