I might be without my 8-iron when I play Friday morning.

[McNutt76]

Because Aqua Systems couldn't give us a definitive time of when one of its service technicians would be at our home to repair our water filter today, I was unable to play golf on one of my days off. We eventually got a 2:00-4:00 window for this afternoon, so I went to the driving range this afternoon.

I was really hitting the ball well on the driving range and then decided to hit my 8-iron. Unfortunately the steel shaft snapped at the hosel and the head of my iron went about 20 yards in the air. I retrieved it and then dropped off the shaft and head at the pro shop for one of the assistants to repair it.

If I don't have it by Friday, I hope I don't have any shots between 130 and 140 yards because I won't have the right iron for them. It has been one of my more reliable irons and I'm really going to miss it!

My irons are TaylorMade Rbladesz and I absolutely love them! I purchased them approximately eight years ago and it might be time to replace them. It all depends on whether the 8-iron can be repaired and is still reliable afterward.

Just choke down a little on the 7...

You snapped it in half!? Did it try to sell you a magazine?

I bet it wanted to ride in a cart.

I thought maybe you "pulled a Tiger",

banged some chick from Waffle House,
the wifey looked through your phone,
and then she did some facial damage to you with your 8-iron

It didn't snap in half. It snapped at the hosel. My guess is the shaft wasn't far enough down in the hosel.

Ironically, my first job as a teenager was as a bus boy at the Waffle House. It was walking distance from my parents' home. My wife is left-handed, so she would have trouble swinging a right-handed club. lol

That's what she said.

Is this going to impact your qualification attempt for the US Amateur?

Have you played Pfau? Thoughts?

I apologize, but I'm not familiar with Pfau.

We're not playing for money on Friday morning, but we will Saturday at noon. If it isn't repaired yet, I hope I don't cost our team money by not being to hit approach shots with my 8-iron.

I wouldn't be able to even qualify for the State Amateur, let alone the US Amateur. lol

Hardest course in Indiana when greens are playing fast. Impossible to keep the ball on the green, like concrete.
