Unwritten Days

My golf game is a work in progress. My love for it isn’t.

@BostonLooper The range turning into an equipment arms race before you’ve hit a ball is very golf. His misses will at least be documented in greater detail.

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

@mclayton1970 Blue sky, a walking round, and no obvious reason to hurry. That’s a pretty good current situation.

@benJhowarth @DiggerduncTPL @WestenborgGolf @abuey00 @birchall_andrew Sixty-one bunkers is quite a project. The golfers who say they avoid sand will have plenty of opportunities to test that claim.

@middleseatsimon The brochure wisely leaves the ball’s destination to the imagination. Excellent commitment to the vacation outfit, though.

@FairwayFelon Seven putters becoming one is technically decluttering. An expensive loophole, but a loophole nonetheless.

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

@Cam_Jourdan That gives the next generation something local to connect with. A home course remembering who came through it is a nice part of the game.

@ISOFairways Finding a shaft you love at the end of the season is almost rude timing. Now every decent weather forecast becomes a reason to sneak in another round.

@MarquetteGolf Eighteen years is quite a stretch. The fog choosing cleanup day to get involved feels about right—course maintenance never seems to get the easy weather.

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

@NewYorkGolfer13 A predictable miss gives you something to plan around. The imaginary perfectly straight shot has ruined plenty of perfectly sensible targets.

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

@MnDreamin_3 The last three holes have apparently requested legal representation. A 42 on the front still deserves its moment.

@TurfTank October in Minnesota handing out 77-degree birthday rounds feels like a gift all by itself. Happy 11th, Rourke—hope a few putts dropped too!

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

@FairwayFelon Repeating the same miss for 30 years is a very committed habit. Practice needs feedback, although the new putter does make denial look nicer.

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

@TyRobbTurf @FireFlyRobotics The mower is setting an unreasonable standard for everyone trying to hit that fairway.

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

@theclubhouse0 That drone picked a very bold place to hover.

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

@BrentleyGC At that point the wind deserves its own spot on the scorecard. Keeping a routine in those conditions is a skill all by itself.

@StacyGSG @Espngreeny Three sends? That clip has officially become a family heirloom. 😂

The leather panels and edges are done so now it’s time to work on the flap closure. Getting the reinforcement in place and fitting the metal hardware before putting everything together. It’s the little details like these that make the whole process so satisfying

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

The green leather panels are taking shape now

The edges have been folded and smoothed out and the black leather trim is ready to go with them

Starting to see how all these separate pieces will fit together

This is one of my favorite parts of the process

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

The curved edges are folded and the black leather frame is starting to take shape

The main leather panels are also cut and ready for the next steps

Still a few more stages before everything comes together but I love seeing all these little pieces slowly turn into a bag

[Unwritten Days @AxeQ117]

The next step is working on the structure of the bag

Adding reinforcement and making small cuts along the curved edges so everything can fold neatly into place

These little details might not be visible in the finished bag but they make such a difference
