Rye's WITB (latest update: November 28, 2011)

So ......what's better, getting married on Saturday or the new Titliest 909? 

  ... nah, just kiddin', getting married for sure! But it does make for a nice wedding present for myself, don't you think?

Make sure you tell us what the Pro says at your club when he sees you have this driver before he gets his!

Can't wait to meet him at the range. He's also does demo days for Cobra and Titleist, which will make it even funnier to show him my new stick.

"What, you haven't gotten yours yet???"

[Rye]

Got two boxes today, more early Christmas presents:


Titleist 909 D2 9.5* from Frank at Ace of Clubs,

A Bobby Jones H2 19* hybrid and an Adams Idea Pro 23* hybrid, both from MadMaxGolf.


Pictures and review coming ASAP. I did manage to hit a couple of balls with the driver at the range after work. Really low ball flight, no ballooning at all. Sets up great behind the ball and sounds just right. The shaft is 44.5, so I don't hit it as long as my L4V (45.5) but straighter. This could be a winner for me.

Brother Rye, cheers on the new 909 driver...what shaft is in it?

[Rye]

Shawnee,

Thanks, it's the Aldila VooDoo (the Titleist version). I wanted to see how it worked for me before deciding on a possible change.

[Rye]

Just got my refinished flatstick from Frank, complete with a new Nippon shaft. Great work as always. Enjoy.

Fed putter - du er da en rigtig lirekarl, hva' ?
Jeg skal ha mig en Rossa Kia Ma Daytona milled - og så kan du altså godt pakke sammen med det der Sgoddy Camelot sjov 
Hvis der er nogen der skal have dette oversat, så spørg Rye

Tak, du.

Længe siden, hvordan går det nede i konkurs-boet? Min kollega, Ivan (kan ikke huske om vi har spillet sammen med ham), var også medlem i Greve, men er lige rykket til Skjoldenæsholm sammen med konen. De har et tilbud for Greve medlemmer, hvor man ikke skal betale indskud men kun kontigent for 2009 hvis man melder sig ind som par.

Skal du med ud og spille en runde en af dagene? Alternativt kan vi jo mødes i Smørum og slå en spand bolde? Du har mit nummer, ellers send mig en PM herinde.

Og husk nu, misundelse er en grim ting. Den SC er endnu feder i virkeligheden, så du skal virkelig hive noget fedt op af skuffen hvis du skal slå den.

Vi tales ved! Hygge.

Sorry for the Danish take-over. We'll stick to the Queens English from here on.

[dolleris]

Will do, Søren. Sorry for my posting in danish to You guys - had to insult my buddy here 
Sent a PM

Putter looks really nice, Søren. Frank did a good job for you. I hope that you putt well with it.

[Rye]

Putter looks really nice, Søren. Frank did a good job for you. I hope that you putt well with it.

Thank you. Apparently, I'm not putting well with a face balanced type of putter. So it was nice to get back to a style of putter I have more confidence in.

Frank did a great job on this. It looked REALLY banged up before he worked his magic. Had to ship it back to the plater three times before he was satisfied with the result, and would let it leave his shop. Talk about putting pride into your profession.

[drewspin]

Søren, nice putter there!

[Rye]

Søren, nice putter there!

Drew,

Thank you, it means a lot coming from you . Rest assured, the 008X is not going anywhere. As I stated above, I just need to try out something different to see if that will help my putting.

That's a cute little creature. I have one of those who is forever getting into the putters around the house.

Thanks. It's actually a trick photo. That picture was taken a while back, but I thought it fitted right in. He is quite a bit bigger by now.

[Richard Nixon]

How big?

[Rye]

8½ months, 80 centimetres, 10 kilos, and 3 teeth.

Not bad. Has he bitten you yet?

[Rye]

Nope, but that's just a matter of time.

Rye, the set up looks awesome, the Tity old school irons look solid and beefy, love the RYE stamped Scratch wedges.... you are representing well old friend! I just broke out and dusted off my flight tag yesterday.

[SBR67]

I love the look of the irons. I couldn't play them, but they look great.

Thanks. Me neither, I just pretend I can.

Got a nice little box from the US yesterday. A couple of refinished Scottys, a set of spin milled Vokeys, shoes and grips. Enjoy.
