The dolphins outside of 1972 have been historically bad.

What? They were the winningest team from 1970-1995. They have the 9th best winning percentage ever.

I’m still working on my old man golf game. Shot a 107 Sunday. Never hit anything but 7i off tee. That wasn’t the problem - it was all the double chips and three putts.

My quest to double digits continues.

I’m getting fitted tomorrow. I have big interest in the Ping G440 SFT 7w, 6h, 7h, and PW.

I’m also mulling around the idea of a PXG bag of Lightning 7-9-11 woods, all max lofted with draw biased weighting.

Anyone like PXG?

Lane Kiffin was 2-2 (2-2) at home after losing on the road when he was our coach.

I played old man golf yesterday. Shot a 103 total (54 front, 49 nine). I had 35 putts and 5 three-putts (oof). I consistently left long putts short, forcing the three-putts. I also went in the bunker 3 times, but I played surprisingly well out of the bunkers though.

I only hit 7I off the tee and I found the fairway on every hole that had one. All of my shots were between 140-160. That was a really welcome change.

It's clear I need to work on putting.

I also don't need a rangefinder.

Now it's time to get a new putter and 56.

After (I think) Zeta in New Orleans a few years ago it was downright cold/cool after the storm.

Well yeah. That's because Zeta hit on October 28. The weather is supposed to be nice then.

I think there are cheaper options out there.

That’s amazing.

The reason I’m not buying a 7W or 9W now is I don’t think I need them. I get similar distance with other clubs already.

I played old man golf 9 today. Hit well off tee and fairway. Had a very nice controlled and smooth swing. Consistently got 170-180 with 4H and 150 with 7I and straight.

Buuuuuuuuttttt . . . I couldn’t chip or putt for shite. I am talking four putts, chips over green, etc.

Oh well.

I played old man golf yesterday on the range and followed Golf Sidekick principles.I (tried to) hit 70-80% smooth swings with the 4H, 7I, and 9I. I averaged 165 or so with the 4H, 135 or so with the 7I, and about 115 with the 9I. I'm definitely not hitting it as long as I used to. I was getting 200 with the 4H just last month. But most of those shots were not on target. I was getting 160 with the 7I and 130 with the 9I last month too, but those were largely off target too. But, nevertheless, I hit the ball well yesterday and it went straight, or not too far left or right, for most of the session. I still don't think I'm swinging at the right strength level. It feels strange.
