    High Handicaps and Birdies: Your Reaction

    I know plenty of 18 handicappers that are very capable of making 3 birdies in a round. They usually offset them with a bunch of doubles.

    Playing from bare lies

    There are 3 guys in my association that bump and run with their 5 hybrid clubs from just about everywhere, and they do just as well as the rest of us guys with our wedges. A good friend of mine has a Big Bertha 9 wood that he's really good with. He can hit low runners or fly it about 60% of...

    Well, this is sobering……

    Irons today are just engineered better than 30-40 years ago. The leading edges, sole radius, bounce, weight distribution etc. etc. As much as I loved playing my old M85 MacGregor irons for 20 years, I could never go back to playing them again with the leading edges like razor blades, negative...

    Playing from bare lies

    It doesn't take but a few chunks to destroy a confident pitch swing off hardpan. The problem can live rent free in your head after a while. Just about my entire home course is clay hardpan around the greens, and I went through periods with the same problem you have. I even played 2 different...

    Anyone gone from hybrids back to irons?

    Go back and forth all the time.

    Half My Handicap in 12 Months

    Intriguing thread. I used to set challenges for myself every year before I quit then game back in 2008. Come to think of it, I haven't set a single goal since coming back 3 1/2 years ago. Wrist injuries limited me for a while but that's not an excuse anymore. Thanks pards.......you just...

    Will Tiger win again?

    I can see him winning on the senior circuit riding a golf cart, but not walking for four days.

    Do You Care Which Tees You Play?

    I play the senior tees when doing the weekday & weekend team blitz thing, but when I'm off with my son and friends at another course I play the regular tees with them. It's fun jacking one past them every now and then. Let the **** talking begin. ;)

    Do You Love Your Bag Right Now?

    The bag and clubs are fine. The idiot using them is another story.

    Well, I won’t be playing golf for a while..

    I was on base at Little Creek last Friday and the golf course was a mess. I've been here since 1986 and never seen it this bad, and that includes a few hurricanes that have come through in the past. They opened the back 9 for walking only by Sunday.

    Does your equipment ponder increase after a bad round?

    I don't need a bad round to blame for my addiction to fiddling around with equipment. It's gotta be the shafts, or swing weight, or sole grind, or grips....................right? ;)

    The 60 and over Thread

    I put the clubs away about a month ago. Just showing up to play had a blase feeling. ( Burnout? ) Seems to happen to me every couple of years or so. So anyways, I've been filling my time out in the shop the last few weeks catching up on some projects and doing some tinkering on a iron...

    Any love for Ben Hogan clubs?

    Borrowed a set of Icon's when my buddy was out to sea for a couple weeks. Sweet irons. The S400 shafts he had in them were a bit too much for me. I would have loved to have hit them with something like the KBS 115 shafts in them. Had a set of Edge Apex Pro's that I liked but my son ended...
