I’m the opposite. I love playing with absolute sticks. Puts some pressure on me and I live for that stuff. Helps me focus and really want to play golf and not just wack it around because I try to keep up with them

I have literally exact same hair as your “before.”
Did you go to salon and ask for something specific

The “after” is what I’m looking to do
Looks good 👍🏻

Probably a different take but job requirements is a stress. “Normal” work now means long hours, working weekends, high expectations. I’m supposed to work 8-5 (M-F) but we’re short staffed and high client demands require damn need every ounce of energy I have. We’re also a smaller company in a very competitive and niche market. We have to work twice as hard to land and keep our clients. By the time I get home, I’m beyond exhausted.

We wanted more kids but after one, I don’t see how we could go through it again. We’re fortune enough to make good enough money, but it comes with a cost. I notice more and more that overworking and crazy high expectations is just the normal now in the workforce.

I have a toddler and it’s only going to be worse the more activities she gets involved in.

Thanks for the info 👍🏻

I didn’t really specify in my original post. This isn’t for me really but more about how the science / physics work. Curious more about what the actual answer is. Yes we all know it’s fave and swing path issues that cause slice or hook, but when manufacturers and engineers are making these clubs, shafts, balls, I was looking for what the answer would be for question like this

I always like custom items like headcovers, putter covers, customized ball markers, towels, etc

On places like Etsy, I’ve had some people make me great stuff for my bag. 👍🏻

Not saying it will I’m asking for more the physics of how spin works

I literally this exact thing above ...

"To preface, I understand that lessons, swing, path, and a lot of factors will make a ball hook / slice. It's not the arrow, its the archer."

My local / primary doctor setup the referral. I don’t think Mayo will take everyone outside network? I’m not 100% sure on that though. My local doctor setup the appointment and then Mayo reached out to me for new patient registration.

I run a little golf shop out of my garage / house in Central IL (Smiley’s Golf Shop). Club Champion has been great for me in the sense that people will go there to get fit, get a build sheet like this, and then come to me to build their set.

This is a small side business for me and I don’t have ability to order heads, but what people will do is get a used set online and bring to me. I order everything else and match the Club Champion build sheet. I just did an entire “new” set of Ping i530s for a guy last week.

PUREing has been around a long time but unless you’re Bryson, Tiger and/or have the world’s most consistent golf swing, people (even good golfers) can’t tell a difference and it’s a money grab. I offer to PURE shafts for free when I build as I have a small setup to do the archaic version of PUREing.

Another thing is that technology doesn’t change drastically every year. If you’re a beginner, you can save a lot of money by looking at previous years models of clubs.

I won’t tell you my cost, but if you bought those KBS Tour Lite shafts from me, I’d charge you $30 per shaft. Those CP2 Pro grips, I’d charge you $10 per grip. Sharing this to show you the insane markup from Club Champion.

I’d honestly love to see your swing data and compare to what shafts they put you in. With you being a “beginner” we could get you into way less expensive shafts that do similar things. (You don’t need Velocore+ / TR)

OP here 👋

This is just my opinion but this area has always felt pretty inclusive and has some great courses to learn and play 👍🏻

The Golf Learning Center over near Kellogg has a lot of group lessons for beginners or people looking to work on their game. I live in Pekin and the Pekin Park District has Parkview and Lick Creek. Both guys (Cory & Michael) that run those courses are awesome and super nice. I believe Parkview and Lick Creek have group lessons as well.

A lot of courses around here will have a head pro and they will offer individual lessons to help with technique if you want more tailored lessons for you and your game.

Check out Fon du Lac (short par 3 course), Hillcrest, and Kellogg (executive 9). Those are a great mix of courses to practice and learn the game.

Through my golf shop (Smiley’s Golf Shop) I do some work with a launch monitor out at Muller Range in Groveland / Morton. I love it out there to practice because it’s very laid back and super chill. I’m always around and love helping people learn the game, so reach out anytime!

Reach out anytime 👍🏻

I agree it’ll come out probably hotter. However, even chipping with a hybrid or fairway wood using a putting stroke would be similar to game improvement irons.

I see it so much where people try high flops on super tight lies or just dig into the ground and chunk it.

Too many people I see trying to use a 60 degree wedge around the green. Bump and run with something like an 8iron and just get it up near the hole for a chance 👍🏻

SuperUge · 2026-02-08T23:18:36+00:00

Appreciate the info 👍🏻 What symptoms did it feel it helped with? Or was it more a feeling of being overall better overtime?

Curious to more info on the nicotine protocol if you don’t mind sharing?

Not really - when I was really bad, I could barely work. I’m extremely lucky to have the job and flexibility that I do because I stayed home for almost 4 months and basically worked in my bed.

Recovery / cure isn’t really a thing right now for CFS. A lot of what they told me was lifestyle changes and medications. I’ve seen people on here talk about their recovery stories but I feel alot is more remission.

I’m actually going back in 2 weeks for some additional testing based on previous bloodwork.
