    About 10 years ago I was an assistant pro for a year. It wasn’t just the number of hours (~60 per week), it was the fact that all of those hours were on site. I work in IT now, and only rarely need to put in those kind of hours anymore. Even so, it’s a whole lot easier when it’s 40 in the office, and a then working a few hours online after putting the kids to bed.

    Also, love the podcasts. I have a long commute and listen to a bunch. Having read transcripts of other podcasts I’d say that they aren’t as good as what you might think. Spontaneous conversation language doesn’t translate too well to the written form.

    Seriously, stop doing podcasts. They are too drawn out. If anything, at least provide a written transcript for those of us who prefer to read a physical article.

A putter that I love and hate – Club Junkie Podcast

Published

In this episode of the Club Junkie Podcast, we dive into one of the most interesting flatstick releases of the year with a full review of the new TaylorMade SYSTM 2 putters. After spending time on the greens, I break down what makes this design stand out, where it performs, and why it has me completely torn between loving it and fighting it. If you are into feel, alignment, and consistency, this is one you will want to hear about.

We also take a look at some of the putters in play on the PGA Tour last week. From familiar favorites to a few surprising setups, there is always something to learn from what the best players in the world are rolling with under pressure.

To wrap things up, I walk through the process of building a set of JP Golf Prime irons paired with Baddazz Gold Series shafts. From component selection to performance goals, this is a deep dive into what goes into creating a unique custom set and why this combo has been so intriguing.
