wow…that's good golf man. I am dialling in my new Mizuno irons and will break 78 if it kills me this year.

Thanks man. I'm playing the Callaway irons and ball. Game changer for me. Was always titleist guy, but made the switch to Callaway and its paid off.

Is this even a serious question?

Love Callaway balls. But just bought a new set of Adams Irons I really like. Was probably at GolfTown for an hour and a half before I made my decision. Wanted the TM's But the cost wasn't going to make it possible.

Absolutely. Stayed there a week last year right across the street from Safeco. Great Pub food and service there…the pool…everything. A bit pricey for the better rooms but worth it if you can find a deal. They were pretty dead in May last year so we got a room upgrade for free from $179/night special to a $400 room for nothing. It was more like a condo overlooking Safeco with it's own bar separate living room/bedrooms whathaveyou…outstanding. Will go back.

Awesome dude! By far the best hotel in Seatlle in my opinion. In the summer only of course

Love the Callaway ball. I am still using a Callaway driver and hybrids. Switched to a PING 3 wood and finally went and got fit for irons and the Mizuno's to me were the right fit. Getting them bent 2* flat and should be perfect…hoping. I hit PING i series irons for awhile now and it was time to get into some game improvement clubs.

Which Callaway irons do you have? The new APEX? I tried them at demo days and they were fantastic. It was those or the Mizuno's for me.

I still only buy Titleist wedges though…to me they are still the best. Plus the Scotty Cameron putter.

Totally agree. And their product is suffering IMO as well as they have new product every 6 months and their focus shifts so much. To me they haven't made a very good product since the R5 driver and old burner midsize MB style irons. I tried the RSi's and PSi's at Demo days and their irons just don't compare to that of Titleist Callaway or Mizuno. The new Titleist T-MB's were outstanding at demo days but in the neighbourhood of $400 per club.

I tried the new Taylormade Drivers not for me. The M2 3 wood was all the rage and was good off the tee but off the turf was brutal. Stock shafts ok. But a supremely overrated product now IMO.

6 months...more like 3 months.
Adidas are selling Taylor made, they are losing money.
I hate the white driver, not for me.

Looking at highlights from training camp, Boeser Lockwood D'Aoust look good on the forwards. Lockwood has some good speed. Hunter who?

Hard to see numbers on some plays. Brandon boy Coulter with the first goal .

Watched most of the Scrimmage and the rest, Stukel looks to have real good hands. Brisebois just reminds me of Hamhuis the way he moves around the ice.

What is wrong with mediocre goaltending at a mediocre cap hit?

I would be complaining about bad goaltending at a high price or putting way too much cap on a high end goalie , and have a weak Defence.

Some people just like to complain about everything.

A few years ago I bought the Taylormade Rocketbladez Irons. If my golf swing is good that day, I can hit them a ton. I had older AP1's before and I got another 15-20 yards out of each club.

Nice compliment about Brisebois. Stetcher and OJ have lots of potential . It is nice that the D is being fixed as we rebuild on the fly

I hope just a few live up to their full potentials and could have a real solid team for years. With Additions of Stecher and Juoeluvi is really has given Van some depth on D. Brisebois getting the invite to Canadian Summer camp. Guds is young. Van may not have to draft a young C, will be trading for one. A top 6 C and LW seem to be the most in need for Vans future.

I believe like most on here that Hank and Danny will extend two years so that is at least 4 years that Boeser and Bo can develop

Yep totally agree. I hope they sign a friendly 3-4 million discount from current cap hits. It would help the team as a whole immensely if they could still be good for 40 to 50 points while making half as much money.

I got custom fitting for Mizuno irons and it really changed my game. They're just such nice irons to play and the miss hits are so forgiving.

Nike Driver…it's all in the shaft but it keeps the ball in play for me.
M2 3 wood…don't like the driver but I hit the 3 wood long and straight.
Callaway 19* hybrid
Mizuno irons
Bridgestone wedges I bought in Palm Springs

Yeah they don't need the money . At that point it should be all about winning , hopefully they take Jagr type deals

If they extend, I think it would be year by year. Even if they do extend 2 years. Van will need to draft a C and LW to replace them at the end of this year gives them 3 years to develop them into top 6 forwards. Will be just finding players to round out the bottom 6.

I really hope they don't re-sign in two years, it's time to move on from them, I hope Benning does the same as he's done with Hamhuis and sees it's time for a fresh start with youth.

They've got two years to get another top line center in the system and develop him.

Bo has just finished his second year and has put ub better numbers than Hank did in his first two years.

The answer could be staring right at us.
