    Played today with my wife, her BEST round to date

    Kim and I played today at our home course, Olde Point Country Club here in Hampstead NC. We played yesterday and she was bummed because she had not played well. She had actually not played well over the past 1/2 dozen or so rounds that we'd carded. We tee'd off around 2:30. She was striking...

    Driver fix (for today)

    I was fitted for new clubs back in early June, and for a few weeks after the clubs arrived all was well. Irons were straight, driver was awesome and the wedges just needed some dial in time. Then a problem crept in with the driver. The long (for me) straight to slight draw drive started to fade...

    3 hole blowup

    Played today with my brother, one of his friends from out of town and one of our normal foursome. We made a trip up to North Shore Country club to show his out of town buddy a great local golf course. I was playing pretty well, had a 43 on the front then went bogey-par-par to start the back (I...

    Big Milestone today

    Three years and an month ago I started playing golf. My brother and cousin came down to visit Kim and I for a week of fishing, or so I thought. They showed up with their clubs (and a spare set) and said "we're playing golf, come if you want"...... This morning I got the Carolina Golf...

    2nd straight Sunday...

    Golfed with Kim today. For the second straight Sunday I shot a PB round at Olde Point In Hampstead NC. Three birdies and three bogeys for an even par 36 on the front. One double and two bogeys on the back for a 36/40 = 76. I just cannot overstate how much difference the clubs fit for me have...

    Club fitting and immediate results.

    I posted up a couple of weeks ago about the club fitting experience Kim and I had at the Golf Performance Center at Sea Island on June 10th. I wanted to post a follow-up after two rounds with the new fitted clubs. Wow. I played on Friday with my brother and shot a solid 84 the first round...

    PB drive yesterday

    While playing a late evening round yesterday I nailed Bertha Alpha for my longest ever drive, 282 yards on the straightaway par 5 #8 at Olde Point. The drive had been working pretty good to that point and my focus was just swing smooth, not hard and BOOM off it went. The irony here is that I'm...

    My wife and I are relatively new to the world of golf. I started playing in June of 2012 and she joined me in the cart for the first time in November of the same year. While I played a little as a boy and early teen, she had never picked up a club (aside from some putt putt decades ago). We are...

    New Bennington QO 14 cart bag

I called the Bennington shop in California on Thursday and they told me they had a dealer not far from me in Calabash NC!!. Kim and I...
