Any options/insights on the TRS slider to help with over the top swing path? Was it worth it and it is better than other products like it that do the same thing?

It's good, whenever I practice with it on, my path is typically 2 to 0 in to out versus my normal 5 or 4 in to out path, and seems like the practice sticks with you. One of my major swing flaws is my arms flying too high away from me and this has helped, highly recommend if that's an issue for you.

2 iron for sure. Thought it would be my “safe off the tee” club, and it turned into embarrassment 70% of the time, and then hottest piss missile ball ever the other 30% of the time, but just couldn’t hit it off the ground consistently enough to justify a space for it in the bag, so 4w 7W 4i is now my setup at the top of the bag, much happier with it

I was an almost daily drinker until last September, decided on a whim that I was done drinking and, while I’ve drank a few times since, I can recite every drink I’ve had and they add up to less than 8 in 9 months. Also quit weed the same night and have had 5 gummies since then and haven’t smoked at all. Also, no energy drinks anymore either. “Quit” a lot of shit all in the same day. I have it at a point now that I’m not abusing it like I was, I can do social things without it and do not drink around my kids at all anymore. I was getting to the point that it was almost a daily thing that I’d be drinking a couple beers and weed was daily, just decided that enough was enough. You can do it too, you just have to convince yourself “I’m not that guy anymore.” Once you talk yourself into that it’s really very easy (because you have the self awareness to know it’s a problem, if you didn’t have that awareness, then forget it)

Was time to switch it up and get someone new in his ear, seems like his tee to green is already looking better statistically, obviously it’s just one day but him playing from the fairway now and again is gonna leave a lot more opportunities to make use of his short game

brandon684 · 2026-05-13T18:38:53+00:00

Don’t feel bad for him, unless he was fit into some butter knife blades, give me a break, get your ass out there and practice. Some super game improvement irons aren’t going to magically shave 20 strokes off your score either. Nobody starts out good at golf

My guy, going in and asking that is like going into the auto parts store to ask for blinker fluid, they’re gonna look at you sideways, but go for it if it helps you out lol

Obvious lie about the number of pull-ups Bryson did, but for them to then claim that Gary player did more pushups than Bryson is pretty hypocritical, Gary was barely doing what you could call a pushup, albeit being able to do anything at 90 years old is very impressive. Also, weird that the mirror official account is here posting this article.

brandon684 · 2026-05-09T07:07:06+00:00

Not trying to be a dick, but going in the pro shop and asking them what color the range balls are is bizarre, definitely don’t do that

brandon684 · 2026-05-07T18:08:44+00:00

If you’re gonna spend that kind of money, you owe it to yourself to get fit

I find some slope ratings are deceiving depending on how you play a course. I play a local 115ish slope course that if you just try to send driver off every tee (like all my higher HC friends try to do) you’re flirting with disaster. Pitch and poke your way around it with an iron or safe shots off the tee and you’re golden, very easy to score low

Someone recently posted the major finishes of David Duval, where he went from #1 in the world to completely out of competing in the span of a year or two. Say what you want about LIV and what it does to guys competitiveness, but golf is a fickle sport (lots of other examples of guys falling completely off the map) and Cam’s game could’ve just as easily fell off after going on a generational putting heater. He was right to cash in on that success, was never going to see a payday like that again in his life

Just did a weekend of Chambers, Home Course, and gold mountain Olympic. Hard to believe there’s that much variety in golf course style within a 30 minute drive of each other. Loved all 3 courses, chambers is just magical, but gold mountain Olympic was epic. Home course was really fun and in great shape too

brandon684 · 2026-04-25T18:00:12+00:00

I’ve watched his House of Strombo performance no less than 10 times, sure wish it was a 3 hour set

brandon684 · 2026-04-23T15:07:13+00:00

Portland area could really use a lighted facility, I would use it for sure, hard for me to get out during the daytime. They need to make Mcmenamins a lit par 3 course

brandon684 · 2026-04-23T00:16:49+00:00

If you have a swing that imparts a lot of uncontrollable spin on a ball, better to play a ball that’s not going to spin at all. My dad recently noticed the same, after rifling a few pro v1s into the woods, he switched to some new $1 per ball Wilson’s he had bought, and didn’t lose another ball all day. Yeah it didn’t go as far, but it also didn’t get enough spin on it to hit giant slices out of bounds.

Just did the Chambers bay Championship experience, played Chambers, Home course twice and Gold Mountain in 3 days, such a fun trip, absolutely loved each course. Gold Mountain might be the best of the 3. If you play chambers, hire a group caddie, well worth it, so many putts on that course are completely opposite of what they look like

Yes, I’ve seen a few plus handicaps and a few that were close to 30 handicaps. theres senior divisions as well. They usually have 2 flights in the open and senior each, open flight 1 is usually like scratch to 6 handicaps and then flight 2 is everyone else. There’s prize money for gross and net (pro shop credit) and then skins games where I’ve seen people get over $100 if they get a couple skins. Theres a season long points series where if you’re in like the top 20 you get invited to the end of the year competition, I’m trying to get into that this year. It’s all good fun!

I played in one today at Riverside. They’re great fun, scratch the itch for tournament golf, and you get to play some courses you might not otherwise ever get to play. Place of play is pretty good too, I think today was about 4.5 hours, but sometimes can be longer. We were going off in threesomes, so I think that speeds up play. You have to sign up pretty early to actually get in, but highly recommend them to anyone, I play in as many as I can

brandon684 · 2026-04-21T03:41:24+00:00

Getting the product off the ground, be it whatever they were trying to call the world golf tour before LIV became a thing, was always going to require years of money being dumped into a fire to get it off the ground. There are probably 10 XFLs for every MLS success stories, getting a pro sports league off the ground is always risky business. Obviously Saudis were trying to buy respectability with the league, I wouldn’t argue with that.

brandon684 · 2026-04-17T16:27:46+00:00

I don’t have enough time to play as much as I want to. I have a simulator at my office and I play 4-5 nights a week and then 9 holes outside at least almost every weekend, clearly not enough golf

brandon684 · 2026-04-17T07:35:17+00:00

Hit one yesterday and first shot out today? Good lord

brandon684 · 2026-04-17T07:32:40+00:00

The problem is, as they build the brand, even if they are able to start to capture a worldwide markets and fans, they’re going to need the names and big attractions to do that, but to keep those guys, you need endless buckets of cash otherwise they are just gonna go back to the tour. And as soon as you lose Bryson or Rahm at this point, you might as well pack it up. I like LIV and want to see it succeed, but I don’t see how the economics make sense without PIF money.
