Hall of Famer Se Ri Pak’s got a new bag – and notes from ADT championship

Don’t let the headline scare you. She’s not leaving golf, she literally has a new bag.

Her caddie, TJ, is blogging all week about Se Ri in the ADT championship. He talks about her superstitious nature, who they like to be paired with and yes, her new Hall of Fame bag. What he doesn’t mention is who made the bag. If it’s the same one I think it is, it’s this beautiful design by keri golf:

Se Ri Pak's hall of fame bag

This bag was custom made for Se Ri (to her specs) to be permanently placed in her Hall of Fame collection in Florida. keri golf even knows how to make baby-poo-yellow (apparently it’s called golden age leather and is the color of the season) look good. The thing has logos all over it, including that interesting one on the side which represents her sister Yoo Ri’s apparel company. TJ’s blog says the bag is “whiter than I am” and I don’t get his meaning if this is the bag. It’s certainly not white. So, I’m not sure if this is it, but he describes the logos and the enormous size and says it’ll go in the hall of fame after they finish with it this week. Those things all sound like the keri golf bag.

I don’t have a keri golf bag – YET. They’ve got really cute styles and I look forward to seeing what comes out for next year.

ADT Championship – coverage and results from round 1

The richest purse of the year for these ladies – $1,550,000 with $1 million going to the winner and all we get are 2 hours of coverage a day with 3 hours on Sunday. I blooped through the whopping 2 hours and didn’t see a glimpse of Se Ri (she finished +5 today), so maybe she’ll make a move tomorrow and we’ll get to see her. She’s got her work cut out for her, but anything can happen. It looks like the Golf Channel (under LPGA’s production oversight) is only showing the top 16 players during their limited coverage.

I did see that Christina Kim (another keri golf staff player) finished well (at -5 to take the lead) and then Lorena Ochoa made her move. Lorena had herself to -6 when she took a quadruple bogey (!) on a par 3. Wow, she does make mistakes! Two on the same hole, in fact. Gotta watch that wind, Lorena. Sadly, last year’s winner, the adorable Julieta Granada, didn’t make the cut to even play in this tournament. Paula Creamer’s also up there towards the head of the pack but all that really matters is for players to stay in the top 16 for the first cut. Here’s where they all stand after today’s round:

Annika’s effort

Meanwhile, Annika Sorenstam is going to the gym to get out her frustration from today. How do I know that? She said so in her new blog after today’s round.

/soapbox on

In an interview with Christina Kim after her round, when asked how she’d spend the $1 million if she won, she joked about using it to become a 6’4″ size 4 blonde. At least I hope it was a joke. Christina, when talking about what’s important to you, don’t forget you’re a role model. If you really feel pressure to look like that, wouldn’t you hope that pressure would diminish for future generations? Quotes like that coming from a successful woman like yourself are counter-productive. /soapbox off

Spikeless golf shoes?

After some further browsing on Ecco’s site (golf product porn), I discovered that one of the shoe styles I had my eye on has a spikeless sole. I don’t know how I feel about that.

Ecco uses Stinger spikes (I love that they match the color of the shoe) and I imagine they have a lot to do with the performance and feeling of stability.

What can the benefit be of a spikeless sole? How are they different from regular sneakers?

The spikeless sole pictured below is pretty, but how would it perform? It’s not completely flat – maybe those little protrusions act like spikes? Aren’t spikes a key element of a shoe being a golf shoe?

I love my Ecco golf shoes and they love me

Don’t worry – it’s a platonic love.

Ecco makes great shoes. I have always believed that, so when I took up golf and purchased my first pair of golf shoes, naturally I went with Ecco.

For me, comfort is paramount, but with Ecco I also get great performance and style. Over the summer I added another pair of Ecco’s to my golf shoe collection and they are easily my current favorite. I went with the Casual Ribbon series in orange and white. My first time out with them was at an SCGA affiliate club tournament. It was a team event and I played with the president of my club. It’s a competitive event and most players are men (including my partner). I usually play better under pressure but any added confidence is always a bonus.Ecco casual ribbon orange

I laced up my shiny new Ecco shoes and immediately felt that boost of confidence. Seriously. Each step I took – starting right there in the parking lot – felt deliberate and confident. I had to glance down a few times just to admire them but then needed to put them out of my mind. They were so comfortable it was easy to forget about my feet and just play. But I felt so stable and powerful in those shoes that they kept creeping into my thoughts. That must have helped, too, taking my mind off the unproductive swing thoughts that can mess with my game.

We played well as a team and I wore those shoes for both days of the event. I told the story of the tournament here, but the bottom line is that we would have tied for first place if not for a scoring error that put us in second. While I don’t attribute my performance and our team success entirely to Ecco, they certainly played a big part.

On the second day of the event, the twosome we were paired with were also sporting some great looking shoes (one of them was also in Ecco’s) and we had a mutual shoe admiration society going on. People who appreciate style appreciate Ecco. People who have worn Ecco understand the pleasure of the step. The company has a lot of information on the technology and the controlled manufacturing environment involved to achieve that feeling but for me, it’s all about results.

I think this in an interesting little side note: with all my other golf shoes, I invariably lose spikes and have to keep spares on hand. With these shoes, I haven’t lost a single one. Well, I did take a clumsy toe-step and one popped off but that was my fault, I felt it right away, retrieved the spike and popped it right back on.

Ecco just released a bunch of new styles and I have my eye on a few. The new ladies Casual Pitch Ribbon come in new colors that I like (pictured below in white/rose) and there’s a cute raspberry color in the Grip style (above). I like their men’s styles, too, but in the Casual Cool Hydromax style, they call that color “brick” (above). I guess it sounds more manly than raspberry, but the shades look pretty similar to me.

The Savvy Woman’s Golf Bag

If you have ever shopped for any kind of bag, you probably know Ogio. They make all kinds of bags, including golf bags and are well known for their attention to features and fabulosos (did I just make up another word?). I wrote a post that included a review of an Ogio golf bag that had many features I desired. As I described in that post, I made a lucrative trade for it which put me back in the market for a new cart bag. I’m still a Birdie Girl for my walking bag.

My new everyday cart bag

The most important feature I wanted in a cart bag was individual slots for each club. I like the organization, plus it helps when you’re driving around recklessly in a cart (not that I would do that) to keep your clubs steady and protected. I found that feature and much more on this affordable golf bag by Savvy Golfer:

Savvy Golfer cart bags

This bag provides most of the bells and whistles you’d find on an Ogio, but at only $80, it’s less than half the price!

Features I like

  • Lots of roomy pockets!
  • External elastic tee holder (yes, I actually use it)
  • Lined valuables pocket

Features I LOVE

  • 14-way full length dividers for clubs
  • Light weight for a cart bag
  • The most comfortable carry I’ve experienced in a cart bag – not sure if that’s because of the padded shoulder strap or what, but it’s great

I only wish it came in colors I liked more. I have the pink/black combo which isn’t really “me” but it’s still an attractive bag and I get a lot of compliments on it.

So if you want the utility of an Ogio but your budget won’t allow it, I highly recommend this bag. It would also make a great gift for any female golfer in your life – except me, because I already have one. :)

Pro Golfers and Callaway raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer

September is National Ovarian Cancer Month. Teal is the official color representing the awareness campaign.

ovarian cancer awareness ribbon

LPGA members will wear ribbons at events in September

The LPGA announced that players have been requested to don the teal ribbons at events during the month of September.

The LPGA Teaching and Club Professional members also get involved. The president of that organization, Patti Benson, is an ovarian cancer survivor herself and is actively involved in raising awareness of the disease. Her past efforts include sending a letter with a ribbon and an ovarian cancer fact card to all of the nearly 1200 members which encouraged the teaching and club pros to share the information with their clients and students.

Callaway continues commitment to cause

Callaway commemorative teal golf bagCallaway golf pros (or their caddies) will be carrying Callaway’s limited edition commemorative teal golf bag at all events in September, including this weekend’s Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston and the State Farm Classic at Panther Creek Country Club in Springfield, Illinois. Look for those cool bags out on the courses. They even have a ribbon on the underside of the bag you can see when they’re being carried or resting on the grass.

Players to watch for a look at the bag in action:

Annika Sorenstam
Phil Mickelson
Morgan Pressel
Rich Beem
Charles Howell III
Julieta Granada
…and more.

Callaway also has a line of special edition products for the public, all in teal, of course. A teal FT-i driver (only 1000 made and individually numbered) along with golf balls, hats and towels will be available starting tomorrow. Callaway will donate 15% of the net sales from these teal products (up to $200,000) to Callaway Golf Foundation Women’s Cancer Initiative through the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF). Yes, the same foundation I wrote about here for which Eva Longoria is the spokesperson.

Get your teal on

Learn more, spread the word, support the cause: Ovarian Cancer National Alliance, National Ovarian Cancer Coalition

Update:

I thought I should post the comment from Courtney here:

If you happen to be up and around at 8am eastern this coming Sunday (9/2), pull up www.790thezone.com and listen in to On the Green. We have scheduled Michèle Szynal (pronounced SHIN-all), VP of Public Relations for Callaway to talk about the Women’s Cancer Initiative.

Sorry guys, we couldn’t get Eva.

If you’re out looking for the teal collection of balls – it is the HX Pearl ball.

My ladybug returned to me

About a year ago, I was playing at my local pitch-and-putt and my ladybug bag tag from Ko’Olina golf course fell off sometime during the round. Yes, it’s just a silly piece of plastic but I really liked it and was disappointed that it was gone. I figured I’d never see it again.

Ko'Olina ladybug

Recently, I was playing that same course and saw something hanging on the golf ball washer on one of the holes. There it was, my darling little ladybug! Of course, I assumed it was mine and recovered it for its new home on my sweet Birdie Girl orange stand bag.

Thank you, anonymous golfer, for rescuing my ladybug.

He’s a little scuffed and bruised, and I think my world-weary ladybug deserves a name after spending a year either on this course or who knows where. I don’t know why Elmer comes to mind but I don’t think it’s appropriate. The name of the nine-hole golf course is Sinaloa, so maybe it should have something to do with that. I found him at the 7th hole, named “Hillside.” Seven of Nine? Sinside? Hilloa? Any ideas?

I love simple designs and for some reason this ladybug just tickles me. Maybe it’s the tee down the middle of his back. Tee-hee!

I am a Birdie Girl – with a minor in Ogio

I’m also giving new meaning to the term “bag lady.” I guess when a girl obsessed with handbags develops an obsession with golf, it’s only natural that she will start to collect golf bags.

Awhile back, I posted about Birdie Girl’s great looking bags and especially lusted for the orange stand bag. It was still in production so I had to wait but in the mean time I got my hands on the pink and white tour bag. Because I was still traveling for work quite a bit, I also got their travel bag. I don’t think these two items were meant to go together, but I’ll get to that later.

The tour bag is gorgeous and adds a powerful, feminine touch to any golf course. (No, guys, that’s not an oxymoron.) But it is a tour bag and is meant to be carried, not carted. It’s a touch too bulky and the pockets aren’t the most accessible from a cart position. Much to my chagrin, I’m not on any tour, don’t have a caddie and wouldn’t dream of carrying this baby myself. The bag lady in me just thought it would be cool to have a tour bag.


Here it is pictured in action – providing some much needed brightness at a miserable 5 1/2 hour round at the rock hard Knollwood Country Club in Granada Hills, CA where it was a wrist-breaking risk to try to take a divot on approach. Ugh – but at least my Birdie Girl bag made me smile. You can see the beautiful detail work in the close up shot. The side view shot was at Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda, CA. This golf course certainly didn’t need any dressing up but the bag still stood out – far more than my performance in that tournament.

Throwing some Ogio in the mix

Since the tour bag is a bit unwieldy and much of my golf is played on courses that aren’t too walker-friendly, I knew I needed to revert back to an actual cart bag. I love my chocolate Ogio and think Ogio makes the most tricked out bags designed from a planning perspective based on what golfers need. From what I’ve seen, some other bag manufacturers are catching on, but Ogio innovates and the others seem to follow. I decided to upgrade from my chocolate bag to the latest and greatest.


I chose this cool bag, the Atlas, in the indigo color scheme. Ogio thinks of everything but my enjoyment of the handy pockets, ball dispenser, individual club dividers, and sleek look only lasted for a short while. Why? Because Greg liked it just as much as I did and it turned out that indigo would have been his color selection as well. He doesn’t lust for products too much, so I took the opportunity to make a sneaky trade along with a friendly couple’s wager (the details of which shall remain private) and he is now the proud owner of this bag. We both ended up winners in this deal.

Back to Birdie Girl

Then the long awaited orange stand bag was off the Birdie Girl production lines and on my doorstep. I was giddy. It’s even better looking up close and personal – and with my stuff in it! The attention to detail of the designers isn’t evident in the photos of this bag on the Birdie Girl website.

When I first opened the package and saw the tiny pink and white polka dots on the stand’s legs, I thought “whaaa?” Then I set it down on its stand and noticed how the white mesh on the orange side pockets almost looks like pink polka dots and it all made sense. It’s even hard to tell with the lights and shadows in this photo, but trust me, this is such a cool touch!

If you zoom in on this photo, you’ll see the neat splashes of other colors in the detail work on the logo and handle. I never would have thought of the polka dots or putting all these colors together, but I love the way they work together! Kudos to the Birdie Girl designers.

Here it is on the course and on the cart. Again, I love the brightness!
Here it is with Greg’s new Ogio bag. What a cool looking pair!

Yes, I’m using it as a cart bag. My chocolate Ogio just looks so dull after having my Birdie Girl bags out there. Oh yeah, something else after which to lust. I guess now I need this powder/chocolate Luxe Cart bag for my collection! We play walking rounds with our friends Lou and Leslie on Friday afternoons in the spring and summer so my orange bag could still see some action. Well, I play other walking rounds but I use my push cart for those so I can strap on either kind of bag and I’ll be able to mix it up.

Now to the travel bag

My one complaint with Birdie Girl is about their travel bag. It looks smart and is easy to spot on the luggage carousel – I’ll give it that, but then I’d expect that from Birdie Girl. It’s the size that bothers me. Of course I never expected the tour bag to fit in there, but I did expect it to accommodate my golf clubs in any other golf bag with ease. No go. I understand that it is designed with women in mind but even if I had shorter golf clubs, that’s only another inch or so of room. After taking off the club head covers, it was a really tight squeeze to get my golf clubs in this travel bag. I worried that when TSA searched it and tried to repack they might damage my stuff. And I worried that such a tight fit might cause a snap with a rough throw. Thankfully neither happened and my clubs made the trip unscathed, but I won’t risk it again. How about just a couple more inches of leeway in the length, Birdie Girl? Maybe it would be good for a junior set of clubs.

Accessories

The club head covers I got with the orange stand bag are nice, but not for me. First, they’re too big. I don’t like it when club head covers are too tight and difficult to take off and put on, but I also don’t like them to be too baggy and loose. I know, I’m hard to please size-wise. Many women are. They’re also orange and black instead of orange and white, which, unlike their other color surprises doesn’t work for me. Besides, though it might not be hard to displace my Ruger and Taylor Made headcovers on my 3- and 5- woods, nothing’s going to take the place of the Goose on my driver.

My accessories of choice by Birdie Girl are these snazzy umbrellas!


Yes, I am a Birdie Girl

So what if I miss a lot of birdie putts? So what if the most birdies I’ve had in a round is a whopping 2? I’m a Birdie Girl – my bags say so! Birdie Girl makes the cutest stuff and keeps me stylin’ on the golf course whether I’m making birdies or not.

“New” rental clubs?!?!?

Mom needs some golf clubs!

My mom has only played golf a few times but she really enjoys getting out on the course with me and swatting the ball around. The last time we played, I was impressed with her as she thwacked some really good ones from the tee, the fairway, the rough and the bunkers and made some really good putts. And she did all that with a beat up set of clubs she rented.

Before they brought out the rental set, I inquired if they had any used rental sets for sale (since Mom’s in the market). He said they didn’t sell (or have) demo clubs. I repeated that I was actually asking about rental sets and explained that I thought maybe when they upgraded their rentals they sold the old ones. He told me that all their sets are still quite new and they weren’t ready to be replaced. Then he brought out the golf clubs in question. I laughed out loud.

I know rental sets see some abuse, but to describe these as NEW and to sound so proud of them was ridiculous!

The photo doesn’t even really do them justice. Each and every club in the set (including the putter) looked like it had been through a few good rounds of street golf. And if they hadn’t been used on asphalt, they had seen hundreds of hard rounds with hackers in the weeds and rocky, dried-up hazards. However many times they have rented out this set, I’m sure they were paid for many times over and they were ready for retirement.

I later looked up the set online and found a brand new set of the same model (Aspire M3) for $80 – with a bag. I’m no math whiz, but at $20 per rental, which is what they charge, I think they can afford to get a few new sets with what they’ve brought in from this old bag of nuts and still have enough left over to pay the water bill.

Time for Mom to get some golf clubs of her own, ’cause she’s got skillz! Hmmm… if only there was an occasion for a gift, like a day celebrating all things Mom. Oh, wait.

Graphite shafted irons and custom fitting

For awhile now I’ve been thinking about trying some graphite shafted irons as part of my experimentation. I know a lot of women use them but I’ve been a steel shaft girl from the beginning. While I’m at it, I should probably get them custom fitted and do it right. At first I didn’t think it was necessary because my swing wasn’t well defined. Now that I’m a little more established, it’s probably time.

I figure if I go with graphite, they should be stiff flex and men’s length, but it’ll be interesting to see what a professional fitter would say. Out of curiosity, I just tried the SmartFit custom club fitting calculator on Golfsmith.com and came up with the following recommendations:

Shaft Model: Mid launch
Shaft Flex: Stiff
Club length: Men’s standard
Lie angle: +1° Upright
Grip size: Men’s + 1/64 Inch

I wonder if the results will be the same when I actually go in and get my swing speed calculated and all that. I should probably go ahead and do it for my current set of steel shafted irons since I’m not quite ready to take the leap on graphite shafts.

While I’m mulling it over, I’d be happy to hear recommendations on makes and models if you feel like sharing.

Updating my golf bag – Golf Research in Play

The contents of my bag have been changing lately. Of course, the bag itself has been as well, but I’ll talk about that in a future post. I’m also not talking about the crushed chips & crackers, tees I’ll never use, gadgets I forget about or the orgy of heterogeneous golf balls I have collected from my forays into the weeds to find my originals.

No, this long post is about the guests of honor in the bag – my golf clubs.

Brand and designer names

I have mentioned in several previous posts that I’m a Taylor Made girl. Despite TaylorMade’s apparent lack of interest in my endorsement of their products, I continue to give it. I draw the line at pimping, though, and don’t wear or carry items advertising their logo. Or would that be whoring? Either way, I never saw the point or taste in wearing a designer item with the designer’s name emblazoned on it and why would I do it for golf gear manufacturers? Unless, of course, they paid sponsored me. That being said, I’m still quite happy with my now nearly three-year old set of Taylor Made irons, wedges, fairway woods and driver.

New clubs, golf research

I have TM’s RAC OS Pitching (45 deg) and Sand (55 deg) wedges. Awhile back, I decided to try out some new wedges because so much of my game is played from 100 yards and in and I wondered if carrying a couple more wedges might improve my precision. So I ordered some wedges from GRIP, or Golf Research in Play, which is exactly what I intended to conduct. I went with the Gap wedge (52 deg) – to fill the Gap between the P and W, and the Lob (60 deg) looking for a 75 yard club.


The dilemma that shouldn’t have been

The trouble was, in order to really conduct this research out on a golf course, I’d have to remove two clubs from my bag (following the 14 club rule) in order to carry all four wedges to get a good comparison. Then, to add to my dilemma, GRIP threw a hybrid in the shipment for me to try. Well, I removed my left-handed club without a blink, but to remove two more would be difficult! The hybrid is a 5-H, which should theoretically replace my 5-iron, probably my favorite iron of all. See, the 5-I is my ~160 club, and I find myself in a lot of situations that require that yardage. I wasn’t about to remove it for an untested replacement. I decided to take them all to the range, where the 14-club rule doesn’t matter. I know, I’m such a stickler. Like I couldn’t have just taken them all out and played a few rounds that I didn’t post, right? Or replaced some clubs and played a test round and posted whatever the results were. That score would have been thrown out anyway. Stickler or idiot. You decide. ANYWAY…

Experimenting – the plan

Not that kind of experimenting, you dirty, dirty chipmunks! That’s supposed to be done in college and I skipped that semester. Of course I’m talking about experimenting with new golf clubs.

I was excited to try my new wedges but not so much about the hybrid. (I bought a TM 3H over a year ago and hardly ever use it. I’ve thought about going back to my 3-iron.) For the wedges, my plan was ambitious and was meant to determine exact yardages for each and had something to do with vectors. As for the 5H, I was just going to take a few swings and kind of get a feel for it.

I need to find a better practice range. Tom Barber is a fine establishment and a quick stop on the way from anywhere, just off the road. Plus, I just load up my micro-key with credits, keep in on my key chain so I can just pull up, grab my clubs, pop it in the ball machine and go straight to a station. Trouble is, the stations are all mats. I hate mats. And it’s almost always super windy there so it’s hard to get an accurate read on distance. That and the fact that it’s all downhill. I never said my plan wasn’t faulty.

Funny how things turn around

The GRIP wedges felt okay – at least as good as any iron can feel off a stupid mat. Difficult as it was to judge distance, I went ahead and decided that the 52 degree Gap wedge was too similar to my SW in distance to justify its place in my bag. And I guess I have to face facts – I’m just not that precise. The jury was still out on the 60 degree Lob wedge, and I clearly needed some grass time with it.

What really surprised me was the GRIP 5-Hybrid. I was immediately impressed with its feel. It has a weight and balance that is extremely comfortable – natural, even. Every shot felt pure, even when my execution wasn’t. Still, I felt that way about my TaylorMade 3 rescue at first, too, so I knew to take a wait-and-see attitude with this one.

The real test and the results

I went ahead and exchanged my 5-iron for the hybrid and the left-handed club for the Lob wedge in my bag for a few rounds. Of course I never had even one 75 yard attempt, let alone several in order to determine if the Lob wedge was the club. I usually use my PW for 100-115 yard shots and my SW for everything inside 100. In order to give the LW a chance, I decided to use it in place of my SW for everything under 75. I think it was all psychological, but I just couldn’t get comfortable with it. I guess I’m just too loyal to my SW.

The wedges will probably get another shot at a place in my bag, but for now they’re resting quietly. I have to say, they look really sharp. I like the smoke plating (even though I could do without the big white logo on the back) and the sharpness is also literal. The bottom edge is a lot sharper than the edges on my TM wedges, which might be why I couldn’t get comfortable with them right away. The grip feels great and the shafts have a strong, confident feel (I got the men’s clubs because I’m used to playing with steel shafts).

And now the good news

This all took place in January. My first round out with the clubs was in the bitter cold at Los Robles Greens. The new GRIP hybrid made its debut on the #1 handicap 3rd hole. A good drive would have left me with less than 100 yards to the flag, but good drives were scarce that day. So, after a less than great drive, I was in some ugly rough on the right, about 155 from the green which was guarded by a bunker from that angle. In the past, I’d probably have used my 4 iron in that situation because of the rough and the bunker at the end. From the fairway, it would have been 5 iron all the way. I thought it was the perfect opportunity to try the new 5 Hybrid. Blammo. Nailed it clean, sailed over the bunker and ended up about 12 feet from the pin, whereupon I made the birdie putt. That was the beginning of my love affair with this new club that is still going strong.

Physically, it’s not exactly my type with its blue color and its bumpy lines, but love isn’t all about looks. Besides, as our relationship matures, I’m even starting to find it attractive. I use it from the rough, I use it from fairways, I use it from fairway bunkers and I’ll use it off the tees on the right par 3’s. After my initial skepticism, it has become my “go-to” club. Yardage-wise, it replaced my 4-iron instead of my 5 (probably because I hit it cleaner more consistently), so my 5 is back in the bag. I keep my 4-iron for low punch shots, but maybe if I get kinky creative with my 5H, it will handle those, too.

It’s not like this is my first square-dance, either. Many people have great responses the first time they try a hybrid club. I did with my TM 3 rescue but it faded. I guess it’s all in the design of the club. I think maybe that bulgy slot on the bottom – if you’ll pardon my technical jargon – helps keep the club in its groove through the swing no matter the lie and provides the forgiveness that allows me to keep hitting good shots with it more than any other. As for the weights, I’m sure they play a part as well. Maybe I’m supposed to adjust them or something but it seems to be working for me the way it is. Anyway, I don’t need to know how an engine works as long as I like the way the car handles.

Ironically, the amazing forgiveness also concerns me, because I can get sloppy with my swing and not worry about it. The rest of my clubs aren’t that forgiving and I worry that I’ll get sloppy with the rest of my game. Maybe I’ll have to get as many GRIP hybrids as possible!

And to think the whole idea was to get new wedges. Why am I always wookin’ pa nub in all the wrong places?
