On my drive home from the Bag Boy Championship I'll be staying in NW Indianapolis. I'm planning to play The Fort GC on Wednesday morning, May 8th.
Any THPers in the area looking to get a mid-week early morning round in?
I'd love the company!

At the Titleist Experience the guideline we were given was to never replace the grips on your wedges. If it needs a new grip, it's time to replace the whole club.
And...grips have variable lifetimes. My Lamkin UTX are holding up nicely after 74 rounds played on wedges that were new in the...
For the first time this year I had specific goals set before the season.
- play more rounds: i played 73 full rounds from mid-March through October, up from my recent average of ~55.
- play more courses: i played 18 different courses this year, up from my more typical 5-6.
- lower my handicap...
the Champions Tour is dominated by the newer, younger players. because, of course it is.
guys in the 50-55yr range are just physically going to have a big advantage over guys pushing 60 or 65.

Steve Stricker 56

Burger condiments are at best overrated, and mostly terrible.
Burger condiments include:
- ketchup
- mustard
- mayo
- catsup
- special sauces
- pickles
- fried onions
Cheese, lettuce, and raw onions are not condiments on a burger, by definition they are ingredients.
Burgers should taste...
Yesterday I played with the guy with the worst reputation for slow play in my club. He's a similar handicap to me so we often get paired during big events and I dread seeing his name. He's a real grinder: five warmup swings every shot, triple reads every putt, resets if a butterfly farts; always...
I had a 2-person scramble match this morning.
We lost on the 18th hole under every scenario, so this isn't sour grapes...it just got me pondering the vagaries of handicap allocation.
When using handicap allowances for a particular competition (85%, 35%, etc.)...the USGA Guidelines state:
-...
I bought new clubs this year, custom fit and non-OEM option shafts.
My 3 and 4 hybrid shafts didn't look like they were seated quite right as the ferrule collar had a gap to the club collar, but I assumed I was wrong and it was correct because I paid a lot of money for it. (First pic is how...
As part of the lead up to this weekend's American Family event in Madison, Wisconsin for the Champions Tour, they held a skills competition for 10 area kids golf programs.
Steve Stricker hosted along with a couple Badger/NFL players from Vibez Golf and Esteban Toledo. They also got to chat with...
I've only ever driven to golf away from home, so the Titleist Experience this fall will be my first time flying for golf.
Aside from getting a good travel bag, what advice do you have when flying somewhere to play golf?
Gear?
Packing?
Airports?
Cars?
I don't know what I don't know!
Over this winter we've gotten pretty good at lagging putts into the gimme circle, and the 6'ers seems a lot easier to make than in reality. I worry it's at best a non-factor for real golf this spring and at worst is making me worse. Putting to have the ball go exactly 34' feet on a sim seems so...
This fall has been pretty mild here in Wisconsin and the weather will be playable for awhile, but it's time to go chase Bambi around the woods.
I think yesterday was the last round for me...got out with the boy and had a great afternoon.
Have you birdied every hole on your course...
...ever?
...in a single season?
...so far this season?
I've hit all of mine at some point.
For this year I'm at 14 of the 18 on my home course.
Interestingly 2 of those missing holes are easy: a par 3 and a short par 4; the others are 2 of the more...
