Winter width
January corridors shrink. A summer 5-wood becomes trespass. We re-tape instead of pretending New Hampshire has one season.
Concord · South Main · Flight easement
The ball needs a legal corridor. We survey it.
Hip Clear is not a hip-turn clinic. The name is a leftover from the first winter we measured how little air a ball is allowed to occupy between granite and pine. We still map that easement — width, height, and the months it shrinks.
Why a survey, not a lesson
An easement is a map. A cue is a rumor.
Capitol winter knocks a high hybrid into the next fairway as surely as a Merrimack gust. People buy another loft. We unroll tape. If the ball cannot keep a legal corridor at Beaver Meadow in January, the hardware conversation waits.
Loudon Road pines do not care that a catalog promised forgiveness. They care whether the apex cleared the legal height we painted. We paint it. Then we watch which club stays inside the paint when the air is rude.
Pine alleys
White pine is a fence with gaps. Balloons fail the interview. Low runners get hired if they still stop on granite-hard fairways.
They surveyed a corridor I had been trespassing for six summers. The 4-hybrid was the squatter. I still play it in July. I leave it home after first frost.
I came for a hip lesson because of the name. Willa sent me away with a map and the number of a teacher on North State. Correct.
