    What tortures me is that none of the improvement I achieve over months of lessons and regular play has any permanence. And it's not a gradual erosion...I go from playing close to my personal best one round and then the very next round I play 30 strokes worse and I simply cannot recover without...

    Under Appreciated Bands/Artists?

    These bands were hugely popular back in the day, but they're way off the radar these days: The Kinks The Yardbirds Cream The Animals A bit closer (sort of) to modern times: Jesus and Mary Chain XTC The Clash And since I am Canadian (not that you could tell from the above list): The Guess Who...

    General Inquiry About Driver Shafts Suitable For Low Swing Speed Slicers
