    Sunset is 8:30pm tonight.  I am loving this.  Going to do a new schedule for the summer.  12 hour days on Mon and Wed, and then short days on Tues/Thurs/Fri to golf in the evenings.

    I added a driving iron to my bag. Man is it fun hitting the Tiger stinger and watching people's reaction haha. At my tournament this last weekend I hit one 275 and had 78 yards in on a short par 4. I decided to quit messing with a driver and opted for a laser in the middle of the fairway. I hit 10 of 14 fairways and my misses were only a yard or 2 off the fairway.

    That’s awesome. What is the loft on it?

    Thanks! It's an 18 degree 2 iron. The TaylorMade Tour Preferred UDI with a Project X 6.5 HZRDUS Black Tour Issue 105g shaft in it. I can swing as hard as I want and it only goes straight.

    That’s really impressive and a serious club. You must have a high swing speed to get the most out of that shaft. P X 6.5 is for the big boys. I have a gap in my bag between my 15 degree 3 wood and 21 degree 3 hybrid. The 3 wood is a missile launcher and the 3 hybrid is one of my most trusted clubs in the bag. I could definitely use an 18 degree though.

    The 3 wood I play is an Exotics. They are actually manufactured in Batavia, IL which is very close to where I live. Pretty cool and they’re highly underrated fairway woods.

    I have PX 6.0 in my irons. I carry a 23 degree 4 hybrid, 20 degree 3 hybrid and then the 2 iron now. Irons are 5 through PW and then 50, 55, and 60 for the wedges. With the putter that gives me 13. Idk if I want to add another club though. I'm a lefty and I thought about adding a right handed club as my 14th in case I ever found myself on the wrong side of a tree, rock, etc.

    ^ I like the PX 6.0 shafts a lot. I play Dynamic Gold S300 in my irons which are fine. My wedges are 50, 54, 58 and 5-PW play 4 degrees lower all the way down. My biggest gap is the 3H to 3W. Need a 5 wood or something of the like. Based on how you hit that 2 iron I don’t think you’ll need a righty club. You won’t be finding many trees. ;)

    Did any of you see Titleist released a new golf ball called the AVX? It’s another premium ball that’s a hybrid of the pro v1 and pro v1x. I think theyre only releasing it in 3 states for starters. I wonder how it will do.

    I saw those but I don't know anyone that's tried them yet.

    Pretty cool that they're doing a team format for the Zurich Open now.  I was trying to figure out if there are any rules about which guys can partner together.  You'd think guys like JT and Spieth would partner up but it seems that there aren't any teams with 2 top tier guys together...

    My wife asked me if I wanted her to take up golf. There was a one word answer...no.

    Okay, not a huge fan of Justin Thomas but the walk out music choice of Circle of Life is pretty great.
