. My favorite hole at my old "home course." Played here for 60 years (worked here for 20 as well!). A tight par 4 dogleg left over a creek up near the green. Sometimes I beat it....sometimes it beats me!!

I tee it up EVERY chance I get.....I think it was Arnie I saw giving that advice in a video once. It makes sense to me. A good buddy of mine go back and forth about this (kiddingly, of course) b/c he always places his ball in a good lie on the grass on par 3's. If I remind him of Arnie's...

I walk most of the time, unless the course requires it....I rode twice when we were in Florida (required); since I got home, I think I've waked 7 straight rounds. It's one of the best exercises you can get, and at age 78, I've been walking the course for about 65 years, with the assistance of a...

I shot 41-38-79 today at Riverby Hills in Bowling Green, OH this morning. A little breezy, but a good day to play otherwise. Riverby is a little hillier than most of the courses around here, so part of the challenge is walking and pushing the cart up and down those hills. Chipped in for a...

I'm 78, and last year I shot my age or better about 20 times (senior tees, of course!). As another poster mentioned, I've realized that I have to work on my chipping and putting in order to score. Finally, I STILL need to learn that I MUST invest in my body by exercising more, instead of...

Yes.....they were in their line about 4-5 years ago, before they came out with the TS-series. As soon as they started offering the TS lines, they dropped the PTM's. Here's a picture of the model I have with the satin finish. I'm looking for the black DBM finish......

This thread has be dormant for a while.....But some time back I posted that I got ahold of a set of Maltby PTM irons, shafted them up and love them! These are the satin finish. Now I'm in the market for a set of the BLACK PTM's. I think Popeye reviewed them several pages back. If anybody...

At age 78 I've simply decided to forget my hybrids (which I've never had much luck with!) and build a #11 wood. I intend for it to be my 150 club....it seems like the last few years, I struggle at the beginning of the season to figure out which club will be my 150....then the rest of my irons...

Our travel group plays about 7 or 8 courses two or three times each per year, so even though you get to "know" the courses, you don't know them like your home course that you've played hundreds of times. So, I go to Google Maps, look up the course, switch to "satellite" setting, zoom in to...

I always walk, so I just use the elastic band on my Clicgear 3.0 cart to hold my scorecard and pencil.

I shot 39-40-79 today at historic old Ottawa Park GC in Toledo, Ohio. Nothing to get excited about....the course is short (although we got ZERO roll today!), and it wasn't in very good shape. I haven't been able to touch a club in 2 weeks due to cold, windy weather, and it showed. Hit a lot of...

For me, it depends on a few factors....... 1. How bad to I need to / want to practice? This time of year, the desire is much greater than in say December or January! 2. Is there a HEATED range available? We have a couple in our area, so if it's 40, a heated range isn't bad....sometimes you...

If you're into the Masters, then you might like these putter covers for sale on Ebay. They have various styles available..... https://www.ebay.com/itm/165662799463?itmmeta=01HS7E47CYH1T1T8JJM75EMA12&hash=item269245b667:g:OdUAA A word of caution......they come direct from China, so I'm not...

I have a spot on my forearm that I have an appointment to have checked....seeing the doc next month. I usually have a few A.K.'s frozen off my face and neck every year or so. Big hats and sun block are part of my "golf wardrobe!"
