    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...

    Any health experts? Cholesterol?

    don't fear the statin. I'm on a baby dose and it drops my levels extremely low. I talked to Dr about stopping and he shared they have proven over 30+ years to have additional benefits
