You hit a driving iron? Impressive.


Impressive and obsolete.

How's it obsolete?

I play on a course that's on a hill so it's always windy.

I can't get the sort of low, penetrating ball flight I get with the 1-iron with fairway woods or hybrid things.

Weird, I play on a hill and it's rarely windy

It's obsolete because nobody uses them any more as they aren't as generally 'good' as the new generation of hybrids and FWs

Have you tried like a 24 degree, I use one I bought in Lidly with a steel shaft to hit shots under trees etc.

I don't like hybrids. I just don't like how they set-up behind the ball for some reason.

I don't buy the idea thata 1-iron isn't as good as newer clubs. Those new clubs don't suit my game, so they're of no use to me. Most players wouldn't be able to hit a 1-iron as well as a hybrid, but I'm not most players.

Anyway, I love my 1-iron.

Smashing it about 240 yards, with a little draw and keeping it below head-height all the way may be my favourite type of shot.

That's Brilliant.

That's Brilliant.

If you are caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1-iron. Not even God can hit a 1-iron

Anyway, my game is odd.

I made it down to being a 5 handicapper, despite frequently playing with 20 handicapper who could hit the ball of the tee better than me.

I just told that joke to my mate about 5minutes ago, his dad looked exactly live Seve and played with a 1 iron

I play off 22 if I'm being serious but usually we just play off scratch as motivation/practice.

I know what you mean, one of my friends can hit a Pitching Wedge 190 yards no joke. At the range of course, he's all hands so when on the course he hits the ball at right fucking angles

It's so boring and this weather isn't making it any better. Goddamn rain...

Man. Been a busy last couple of days. Portland was way cool, though sleepy. Was weird as it was what the locals called "the first day of real summer", and I could not only see the towering Mt. Hood to the east but also the dome of Mount St. Helens to the north.

The interviews went well. It's going to be a pretty touch job. But the fact that they're even considering me should give me some reason to believe I can actually do it.

How's you all been lately back at the Tuz?

Almost done with work. Gonna head home in about 30 mins.

Not good. I had to rush to get something done by 3, and it ended up having a huge error in it. And it can't be undone. Ho hum.

No. Still no job offers yet. As I mentioned, in my field it takes about 5-10 steps to actually get an offer. I just completed #4, so we'll see. They just flew me up to Portland for a day trip to meet folks in their office there.

Here's a few photos for you... of downtown Portland from across the river, of an amusing hat for my hometown I found in Portland, of Mt. Hood as seen in Portland, and of a red arrow showing what little of Mount St. Helens you can see from Portland above the treeline on a clear day.
