    What Golf Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Went to the range. Hit a large bucket. Brought the old wedges with me because I'm going back to 50, 54, 58. I don't like the 52, 56, 60 - I can't seem to get the right feel. Well, they're the Cobra snakebite OL, which actually are the correct swingweight. My old wedges are like sledgehammers (D9...

    Thinking about a Tesla

    It looks like I can see myself in a Buick sometime before 2030.

    Club add/drop recommendations please

    I also play Cobras... mostly. I dumped my 3W because I can't hit it off the deck worth a damn. I go with the 5W, 7W now. I'm a hybrid player. I have my 4H adjusted to 23.5 degrees which is nearly the same as the Cobra 5H (24 deg). I also play a 5H (26 deg) instead of a 6i. Now why would I do...

    Best Approach Angle

    Considering that I can pop one a little right, I want the wide target.

    Really Good Range Session Question

    It's just a bucket. You hit all the balls and when it's empty, the session is over. Go putt. No shot in that bucket is worth more than any other shot.

    What Ball Did You Play Last - What Are Your Thoughts?

    Q-Star Tour... I'm slowing down. I may need to go to a distance ball.

    High Handicaps and Birdies: Your Reaction

    Given the golfers I play with on a weekly basis which are a random selection, I consider 18 to be a mid-handicap golfer. I have a 16-17 HC among women. This translates to 23 if converted to men's, and I can string together four and five hole runs w/o a bogey. And then comes the triple. That...

    First bucket is a disaster.. What’s your next move?

    It doesn't matter if the bucket was good or bad. When the bucket is empty, it's over. Done. Time to go to the putting green.

    What’s The Minimum Amount Of Time You Need To Practice?

    The first three or four holes. Those are practice holes. After that I'm good.

    Well, this is sobering……

    This is only among the 3 million golfers who keep a handicap. There are another 20 million golfers in the USA who don't. These stats from the USGA are essentially like surveys from people who respond to surveys. I have about a 17 HC (equiv to a 23 mens) and played in a foursome yesterday. One...

    The 60 and over Thread

    Finally played 9 today and got sticker shock on green fees. Senior rate went way up. $42 for 9 holes with a cart. This is ridiculous. It's like this all over. New clubs cost way too much. Lessons cost way too much. And now green fees cost way too much. I need to find a new hobby or find a goat...

    What did you shoot today?

    ...fees gone up. Three years ago it cost $38 for 18 holes w/ a cart for Senior Rate. Today it was $42 for 9 holes Senior rate with a cart. That's ******* bonkers. I guess this is one way to discourage people from playing and open tee times. Oh, I did manage to break 50 with a 49. I had...

    Total distance question

    That was direct from Srixon. If you buy direct from Takomo you can get a set for even less.

    Total distance question

    When I get a new set, I'm just going to tell them to order single irons: 7, 8, 9, P, G. No longer do you get any kind of discount for buying a "set" anyway. With irons costing $170+ ea nowadays, why pay for two clubs I'm never going to use? That money could go toward a new hybrid or 9W when the...

    What Golf Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I made tee time reservations for Friday. Yay. My first round this year! We'll see how the knee does. I'm probably going to play like dog poo, but who cares? It's supposed to be in the low 80s.

    Back Issues and Golf

    I'm 71. Of course I have back issues. I can't use a short putter because it hurts to bend over that far and practice putting for more than 5 minutes. Even if they were to ban the broomstick putter I'd continue to use one. I won't keep an official HC.

    When was your last shank?

    Last wk at the driving range. The shot after a shank is the most difficult shot in golf.
