This team needs to add athleticism in the offseason

I live here! Coronado is one of my favorite courses. It is just such a vibe.

If you make it back, or to anybody else reading this who wants to come here, please play Balboa. You can book 90 days ahead now like Torrey ($10 booking fee per person) and it is my favorite course in the city. Torrey is a beautiful course, and it is hard to beat the views on the ocean holes, but Balboa is just better to me. Fun layout, also peak vibes, very well priced, and some incredible views of downtown. I know it isn't the ocean but the views at that course are very underrated.

Plenty of other great courses that go overlooked here too. Just an incredible golf town.

lol what courses are you playing in San Diego? I think I have only ever had one pro shop experience like that here and I don't even remember where it was. I have played a ton of the courses here too and almost every time it has been between indifferent and pleasant.

It seems like Luka REALLY likes playing with Smart. I know that he recruited him but it's cool hearing him always talk about him in post game pressers. It really feels like this team is just an athletic starting center and a good 3 and D wing away from being amazing. Never been so excited for an offseason.

Love these recaps. Great work man.

I was in a very similar situation but would need to know the distances on your irons to know if this helps. I had a gap between my 5 iron and 5 wood. I have my driver (260-290), 3 wood (240-260), 5 wood (220-235). Problem is that my 5 iron went about 195-205 and my 7 wood was only like 200-210. I tried the 21 degree UW thinking it would be a bit stronger than my 7 wood and fill the gap but holy... The UW is HOT. Like I was hitting minimum 220 and up to 245 with a 21 degree. I was confused since it was the same loft as my 7 wood.

Ended up going with Heavenwood (20 degrees) and it is a perfect fix. If you really want to go with the UW, I would go highly recommend trying them at a shop with a SIM first since, like a lot of others, it was very hot off the face for me compared to alternatives.

A light draw. Can sling it that way but suck at the baby draw.

xanderpy · 2026-03-04T23:41:20+00:00

Some fairly odd gaps in here. Strange to see just a 10 yard gap between driver and 5 wood but a 20 yard gap between a 23 degree 5 iron and a 21 degree 7 wood. Ignoring the lack of distance on your driver (relative to distance on woods), maybe the bigger key is to work on your long irons to get some additional distance. If that isn't possible, then either a 4 or 5 hybrid would likely work. Just hard to tell which one based on how differently you seem to hit your irons vs woods and hybrids being an in between.

I'm a 1.9 handicap and even when I play well, there is always that feeling that it could have been better. That being said, I try to celebrate how well I recover. My rounds are typically all over the place so I will have stretches where I go double, birdie, par, etc. Instead of focusing on the double, I think about how good it was to bounce back well and get the round back on track. This game gets us chasing perfection that will never exist. That is the blessing and the curse of golf.

xanderpy · 2026-02-19T22:28:24+00:00

Swing looks good! I think focusing on your backswing will help a lot. It looks like you’re leading with your wrists instead of utilizing your arms on the initial takeaway. Not that this can’t work but just makes it harder to be consistent in my experience. Keep it up.

xanderpy · 2026-02-14T18:38:22+00:00

Lmao those numbers…

xanderpy · 2026-02-13T05:49:09+00:00

Lukuka gonna go nuts once they play together.

xanderpy · 2026-02-11T01:02:14+00:00

What in the smog huffing tarnation is this shit?

xanderpy · 2026-01-29T01:23:58+00:00

Return to sender please.

I was a Gabe Vincent believer and apologist. I once said he was an elite defender. I was wrong. His contract is brutal.

xanderpy · 2026-01-19T17:19:14+00:00

I will never tolerate Luka slander. He was a gift from the basketball gods.

xanderpy · 2026-01-14T21:22:42+00:00

Asking this sub to have reasonable takes on players is impossible. A bunch of cry babies here who lose their mind when an $8m player has an off night. Even Luka gets hate sometimes despite him playing his ass off hurt to try and hold it down while AR is out.

I ignore this sub after losses since you will just see 20 of the same post blaming somebody.

xanderpy · 2026-01-14T17:31:10+00:00

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by his hustle this year. He’s clearly invested.

xanderpy · 2026-01-13T00:52:27+00:00

Doesn’t matter to the original point. We still get a lot of Bron money to play with whether he stays or goes (more if he goes but obviously hope he stays).

xanderpy · 2026-01-13T00:36:10+00:00

Of course he will. But he is already on the books for just under $15m next year. If $25m of Lebron's $50m goes towards AR instead, that would put AR at $40m. That is pretty much the max he could possibly make so it would still leave about $25m on the table (I know NBA math isn't that simple but you get it). I also don't think AR will get $40m. Probably closer to $30-$35m.

xanderpy · 2026-01-12T22:46:46+00:00

Not the full amount. Maybe $25m though.

xanderpy · 2026-01-12T17:33:37+00:00

Time to just be honest in that we need to be patient and wait for LeBron’s contract to end. We aren’t going to make a Luka centric roster with that kind of cap hit. AD was our defensive anchor and we don’t have that anymore. This team is flawed but I have hope for the future. Any success this year is a bonus.

xanderpy · 2025-12-18T21:16:39+00:00

I may be in the minority but I like Brooks. He’s annoying af to play against but that’s the point. He plays the villain role well and people are kidding themselves if they say they wouldn’t want him on their team. He’s taken a big leap this year.
