good morning Dave and Tony.
I didn't even need to text you to tell you we were back. Good morning, Deano!

I've keep checking to see if it's up and running. thought maybe it would be a whole new format. thanks for keeping it the same.
There are many changes but mostly behind the scenes. I am certain Raz will notice one.
Or not.

@LTG - got the new clubs. driver, 3 wood, 3, 4, 5 hybrids, 4- pw. keeping my TM RAC wedges. not the longest off the tee as my playing partners but I hit fairways. adjusting to the difference in lift with the hybrids and irons. always seem to be a club or more short. I'm happy to be able a take quite a few strokes off my game.
That's good looking set, nothing better than consistency, even if you have to sacrifice distance.

I've got my Hogan irons and 4-hybrid new from last year, and they have a "try it before you buy it" program, so they're sending me a couple of woods with different shafts so I can see about replacing my 4-wood. Got the shipping email today, so I should have them in a couple days.

And as it happens, I also have a set of rac wedges. Love those things. I also have a Hogan wedge coming to try, but even if I like them, that would probably be a next year thing. But honestly, I doubt it, cause I can't find anything I like as much as the racs.
I no longer carry my 60° but I love my 52° and 56°. always wanted to try the Volkey wedges but why waste money when I love what I have.
my clubs come with a 60 day trial so I can return them if I wanted but I haven't found anything wrong with them.
I have all 3, including the 60, which is what I use primarily around the green. But with the newer clubs, I find I have a big distance gap between PW and 52, so if I got new wedges, I'd go with 50, 54 and 58.

They also have a "Texas grind" wedge, which has a lower bounce that I think I'd like, but they don't offer that one in the try it program.

there's this: the widow and I had a big arguement. seems we can't get along together under the same roof for two days. being irresponcible and not able to depend on her I told her we need to end the relationship. her anger brought out the worst in her. after a few weeks she asked if we could at leadt have a sexual relationship.
Win/win!

I am not implying that I spent the last three weeks entirely working on this because I wasn't. In fact, I am also dealing extensively with Italian bureaucracy, since my mother finally lost her battle with Alzheimers.
I'm so sorry, Tony.
Thanks, Raz.

I use my 7 iron around the green unless I have water or sand in the way and then I use my 56°. if I need more loft from being short sided I open it up more.

Sounds like a potentially interesting situation.
not sure how that is going to work out yet. we have alot of talking to do yet. although I'm old, not dead, and not having women knocking my door down it is something to discuss.
