Another wonderful Master video. Ken Griffey Jr who is a hall of fame baseball player, passionate photographer gets a chance to shoot the masters last year.... What a seat for the 18th he had.... Really cool video to watch what goes into working/pictures etc.
 
Masters - Wide open - potentially anyone's....
Scottie won't be far away I'm sure, Rory might not be arsed after last year, Rahm playing very very good....
But I've gone for Bryson (10's) / Aberg (12) / Bhatia (41) / Day (51).... All each way top 12....
 
Clubhouse golf fitting in Warrington today, struggled with shanking to start with but quickly got past that and was hitting reasonably well. My own players distance irons I can get to around 145 with a nice flight when I hit them well but loose a lot when off center. I tried the ping g440 and mizuno HL again along with QI max , quantom os, Wilson dynapower and cobra king max irons
If I was to chose on what made me smile the most when hit was the mizuno however average including the slightly chunky shots every now and then was a bit down whereas the cobra my average total distance with 7 iron was over 150 including chunks. Just seemed almost hard to not get a good strike out of it. The max is higher lofted than the normal cobra king irons.

The Cobras are cheaper than the others but sizeable compared to older cobra models and stuff on Callaway pre-owned. Think I'll kick myself every time I hit a bad shot if I ignore the fitting

Went out when I was home (pretty achy after hitting about 120shots in fitting) and played well. Played 10 holes and got 2 pars mostly single bogeys with a triple on the last hole as I lost a ball. Handicaps creeping the wrong direction but still have the target around under 17 by end of summer.

Good news from my lesson yesterday and somewhat to my surprise my club path. with my irons at least, has straightened out compared to the last time we checked. Hadve gone from around 6 degrees out to in to under 4. With a couple of tweaks during the lesson I was getting it down around 2 and had one at 0.4 :eek: Unheard of for me. More pleasingly I was hitting it great, god knows where this was at the weekend! Woods were still an issue mind but I've got a new swing thought for them, keeping my back to the target for as long as possible. Shows a lot of promise but will need a session on the range to bed in and get more confident.
 
Out at Cumberwell today, it's hot, as a Ginger it's definitely verging on too hot :p Especially to be carrying, probably didn't help that I didn't really eat anything but hey.

Overally played 'ok' again, nothing special but ok. Hit a few good drives, putting was solid. Scored 34 so I guess that makes sense, but also completely ran out of energy on the last few holes and my swing went very 'armsy', same happened on Monday tbh, need to fuel better I guess.
