Turf cannot rewind a chimney

A steep rail on Iowa dirt is a funeral for the shot. Bounce cannot unsay it. That is the whole argument with catalog slots.

We see this most on 7-irons after a wet week. The golfer wants more bounce. The overlay wants a flatter rail.

Ione will not sell a wider sole to cover a chimney you never mentioned.

If you always play wet parkland, we will draw on a wet week. If you draw on a dry Tuesday and play in soup, you bought a different county.

Bring the turf you actually score on. The mill is rude about dirt because Iowa is.
