I did grown up things yesterday.

(Thanks, @Hotshot_Movie, for the assist with some images.)

@thwacknicklaus Only if you tell me what your regular day job is that you get to spend this much time and money on golf 😞

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@thwacknicklaus Shot my lowest score ever with those bad boys.

Come to think of it, if I picked up this set I’d probably have a good chance against Nelly Korda 🤷‍♂️

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@KeesWillems2 @quotesdaily100 Heroes by Bowie… 🔥🔥
But you really had me with Weird Fishes / Arpeggi by Radiohead at #16… yes, yes, yes, imo their best song!
Now just add “I’ll Come Running” by Brian Eno (mostly for the Fripp solo)
Oh and “Groove is in the Heart” by Deee-Lite… just because 😏

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@thwacknicklaus Oh man, you’re making me jealous

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@thwacknicklaus Nice. Well, they look gorgeous.

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@TonyLeighton8 @thwacknicklaus ✌️

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@MrNegative33 @thwacknicklaus Sure. At the end of the day, I don’t really care what anybody else is doing unless it directly impacts my play.

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@BeauBronson2 @thwacknicklaus Can’t speak for anyone else, as their *limited* use is indeed allowed under the rules…
But personally I don’t use them as, yes, I happen to think they are cheating.

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@TonyLeighton8 @thwacknicklaus Sure, as long as you’re honest about it… 🤷‍♂️
I don’t personally, because even in a casual round (a) I think it’s a bad habit to get into, and (b) it’s good to practice hitting from bad lies.

@thwacknicklaus Agreed.
I grew up playing in the UK.
Barring very unusual extenuating circumstances (e.g., winter rules or maintenance) that specifically allowed it, a person would likely be shunned and ejected from polite golf society, formally or informally, for such egregious conduct.

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@thwacknicklaus Ok ok I know they’re not Parallax Tours, but 2-sw for <$50?!?

@TourSwingsTommy Lol so true
Recently I drove with my son past his HS tennis courts where the team was practicing.
“Your tennis team sucks,” I said.
He couldn’t grasp that in the 10-15 secs it took to drive past the courts I’d scanned them all and *knew* there wasn’t a single decent player.

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@thwacknicklaus @aikengolfclub Man, that looks like so much fun.
Fantastic idea 👏

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@thwacknicklaus Beautiful!

I love the Ping Anser style putters, but from a purist perspective they’re still ’heel-toe weighted’ and imo it’s borderline sacrilegious to call them blades.

These two are proper legit blade putters.
👏

[Phil Cunningham @firesciphil]

@thwacknicklaus I concur 👍
