re: Burrow on #9, “they told me they wouldn’t use it again”

Yeah. Get your hearing checked.
Sorry that I am not riveted to whatever Matt says.
From ALL the former athletes that I HAVE heard / seen on the Interweb, some have an issue and some couldn't care less.
Put them on a "ring of honor," but, IMO, the jersey/number retiring is dumb.
ALSO, be careful who you put on a pedestal. I'm sure NO ONE thought OJ would ever be a murderer.
That's one of the main reasons I am against this sort of thing.
Their legacies are not done.

I guess I missed that part of the show. Do not remember him taking JDs side at all. Even referenced that UF has not retired Tebow's 15 and that it was not a big deal. I guess i missed some stuff. :dunno:

Check out Edison. Fantastic return policy.
I could not hit a 60 until I got my Edison wedge.
The multi-tiered sole makes it so easy to get through grass and sand ... especial hard-pan - tight lies.
I have 59, 55, and 51.
Love them.

would y’all be okay had Pickett demanded to wear #9?
Could not care less.
The number thing is STOOPID. I'm not a fan of retiring numbers.
Wear 20. Wear 37. Wear 9. Wear 5. Do not care.

Curious, why no TaylorMade driver? PING G430 Max is awesome, but the TaylorMade Qi drivers are pretty stout.
Would love to get fitted for the 440K

HA! I played there. Hermitage Golf Club in Nashville.
Great people. Two great courses.
The course where the sheep come out and graze.
It's pretty awesome.

Damn. Wish I would have seen those.
I don't go to that site a lot.
They do not have a white one. Not sure why.
Oh well.

For those of you that are not contributing to the Swinging Mike Club, you can get a "Swinging Mike" hat from No Rivals for $40.
Mine comes in this weekend.
They have a lot of LSU Hats that are pretty cool. I do not get the upside down letter hats, but they have that too.

I just realized the joy from post-round was taking away from the joy during the round.
Yep, pretty much the same reason I stopped. Although tapping the watch became more of a habit, for me, it still took away from the round.
It is an incredible concept, just too much data/tech for me. There are apps that do almost as much, including the Pro version of Grint.

Correct.

I actually realized I liked the manual entry of putts on the watch
Good to know.
The putter sensors are also a pain if you switch putters. I forgot to put the sensor in my second putter (main putter with sensor left in car) and I had over 600 yards of putts! :lol:
Not sure how it did that, but screwed up my putting stats for sure.
Do you still use it? Do you like the new interface in the dashboard?

I have the exact opposite experience. All the guys I know that use them are single digit golfers that like to do big data dives into their game. Three with Arccos and two with Shot Scope, including myself.
For me, It just too much time to go back and edit the rounds.

Any of you fellas use these sensors on your clubs?
If you're really interested, then I would recommend looking into Shot Scope sensors. NO SUBSCRIPTIONS for the same data.
Sensors are a blessing and a curse.
You will get your ACTUALLY yardage, not what you think. That can be depressing. :lol:
Also, if you fat that 6-iron and it only goes 140 yards, it affects your data, you just have to remember to edit that.
They are not perfect and be prepared for a lot of editing, for either platform.
Shot Scope changed their interface and lost the one thing I liked the most - club distances. That's just dumb.
Lots of metrics FIRs, GIRs, Putts, percentages of approaches short, long, left, right. Just wish they would quit changing the interface. :)
Also, the tags will not screw into the metal counter-balance putter ends on Superstroke grips. You have to get an adapter, and they only have them for Arrcos.
If you are data nerd, then you might really enjoy the sensors. If you just want distances, then look into a good launch monitor.

Orlando City is all abuzz with the addition of Antoine Griezmann to the roster.
Lions have needed a spark and hopefully this will help OC to make a move toward the top.
Will still follow Liverpool and see how The Reds end up.
