I am a pretty good judge of wind speed after yrs of sailing. But how much wind determines which club? We all talk about a 1 or 2 club wind. What mph wind speed is a 1 or 2 club wind? Does a following wind add as much as a head wind subtracts?
Can anyone tell me why I should buy new clubs, other than new, shiny toy? Am I really going to gain a lot of forgiveness or distance?
I am 66 yrs old with an 80 mph swing speed. These are good, not great or bad, shot scenarios. My drive goes 200 yds. 5 hybrid 150 yds. 7 iron 130 yds. PW 100...
Justin Rose was so excited about winning the Gold that he forgot his ball in the 18th hole cup. An Olympic official returned it, but Justin signed it and returned it. Would you have forgotten it in the cup? Would you have returned it? I will not play a scuffed ball on a par 3 on the rare chance...
If the PGA allowed rangefinders, would it speed up the play. To me, the slowest playing is on the green. Marking a 2 foot putt, walking around a 5 footer 2 times. I don't think a rangefinder would benefit the pro as much as the caddies pre-match work.
Very few of us would go into Dick's Sporting Goods, buy a baseball, bat and glove and expect to play like a pro. But most of us are dissatisfied with a bad shot a pro would make. Sure home run hitters strike out. And pro golfers sh@nk, top and chilly - dip wedges. We see old fat guys that shoot...
Have you ever turned the sound off and just watched golf? I tried a few times, but without the sound of the ball, it is a little wierd. But surprisingly pleasant. I really don't need to know why everything happened. I saw the result. So, go hunt it, find it and hit it. Just like I do.
If you knew that you were going to hit every fairway, hit every green in regulation and 2 putt for par, would you still play? You can't do better than par.
It would take all of the adventure out of it for me. I probably wouldn't quit right away. But I think golf would become boring.
I tried playing golf in bifocals. On the first tee, I look down and see a big clubhead and a big ball. I also see a little clubhead and a little ball. I hit the little ball with the big clubhead. WOW! Works great. Approach shot, same thing. Big clubhead, small ball. On the green, big putter...
I have a pair of Foot Joy shoes with BOA lacing. One of the rubber rings on the knob deteriorated (1 1/2 yrs old). I went to the BOA website for a replacement. Couldn't find mine exactly, so I called. Explained my situation and guy figured out what I had/needed and said he would send out 2...
I posted that I had purchased an Odyssey tank cruiser putter from CPO and was going to look online for a weight kit. He offered to send me one he had. Would accept no money for the kit or shipping. It arrived today and even had the instructions. WHAT A GUY!
I went to Walmart yesterday late. I was drizzling just a little bit. A small boy (10-12 yrs old) was sitting on the curb crying. I stopped and asked what the problem was. He could barely talk above a whisper. He said that his mother had given him 2 $100 bills to buy presents for his 4 brothers...
