What is your opinion of this LIV crap? Used to ne a big Mickelson fan but now he annoys me.
I also really Liked Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson. Now my favorite is Justin Thomas.

@Presby02 wanted to share a recent story about my golf game.
I wanted to share as a 15 hc ( 20 years ago I played 4-5 rounds a week and was in the single digits ) and play 1 round a week now. I had a glimpse of my old self my last round. For some reason I hit the ball better with a more upright swing and the ball closer to me in my stance. That was not the case years ago. So I figure this out when of all things I watched a YouTube video with several different guys playing with the Cleveland chipper from wedge distances over 100 yards. So since I have one ( they are 42*, length of a putter ) the swing is upright. So I became pretty efficient at using the club for shots in the 75-130 range and was hitting many more GIR's. This led to me ordering the Ping Chipr from Ping and having it bent 2* strong. It plays at 36*. I use this from 130-150 and can hit great 90-100 knock down shots with it as well.
This led me to also recently purchase the Cobra One Length Hybrids in the 3 and 5 ( length of a 7 iron ). I'm getting great results with those as well since I'm hitting them more upright.
I was paired up with a couple of guys who were 60 and 62 that were high school friends on one of my favorite courses Spanos Golf Links in Stockton. I shot a 37 on the front and a 43 on the back for an 80 ( played to a 7 hc from the white tees ). I would have been happy with that score when I was a single digit because it's a tough and demanding course.
But the main reason I played well was because I used those 4 clubs every chance I had on par 3's and approach shots. On the back 9 I talked with the guys about my reasoning and they were very supportive and agreed whatever makes the game easier as we get older go for it. So what I'm saying is since my swing has changed over the years these clubs help improve my game. I no longer care what people I play with think of my clubs and my younger brother who is a really good golfer likes to poke at me calling my clubs a bag of binky's
and he plays golf with his sister lol.
