    Pro V1 for a 20 handicapper?

    I'd play whatever you have confidence in and like the feel of. I play a soft ball because I like the way it feels on the putter face which is clearly a very personal choice. I don't think anyone has said the ProV is not a good ball.

    Are Sunglasses Optional?

    If I'm fishing even in low light, I have glasses of some sort on and where them when driving. My sunglasses now have readers built in and can't play with them for eye protection, I would prefer to wear them but I've tried recently with readers in them and even without and did not like the...

    Wilson Staff D9 Forged irons

    I played in 16mph winds today on a tree laiden course. Two times I needed to power fade to slice a ball around a tree and could not do it. Wide open face and open stance and I hit the ball straight. This might be a downside to highly forgiving irons

    Contemplating Retirement - Describe Your Transition

    My job is similar to yours. Many a day I wished I could go mow grass instead of trying to win some battle of wits. I can see where someone who has done that for a lifetime considers this stress. Sometimes what we call stress is in my experience something you have grown tired...

    Wilson Staff D9 Forged irons

    I am constantly amazed at the results of the D9 forged when I hit it on the toe or near the heel. The biggest sign I have that I've really made a bad swing is that I push the ball far right related to a partial heel strike or sometimes a big hook related to a toe strike. Distance drops...

    Contemplating Retirement - Describe Your Transition

    My understanding of the concept is that you should be able to live off 4% of your nest egg. 1 person more likely to be able to do that then family of 3 but concept addresses. 4% does not address in any way how you pull money out of retirement accounts. It is just an estimation process...

    Contemplating Retirement - Describe Your Transition

    great add! this is a very important consideration. If your company offers a health benefit in retirement, I've never heard that being available until age 55. Most companies unfortunatly don't have it. Made far worse if you have childern under 26 still on the plan

    any fishermen here?

    I spent the last two weeks down in florida fishing and loved it! Did not want to come home in spite of my casting shoulder hurting so bad. A great topwater bite every day but 1 and that is my favorite form of fishing well, until I missed a fish and had two of three treble hooks...

    Contemplating Retirement - Describe Your Transition

    I saw something on TV that caught my attention. I was shaking my head, yes. It relates to how people talk about retirement. Camp 1 talks about having enough money to last. Camp 2 talks about making memories. The point being that you want to be in Camp 2 as it implies money...
