    Forecaddies?

    A definite yes for me and my group. We’ve made numerous trips to Scotland and Ireland and their ability to find golf balls hit into the deep rough is phenomenal. If you happen to get one that is a good green reader, the scores will benefit. And, we’ve never taken a wrong course route.

    Have you ever been hit by a ball on the course?

    Yes. I was standing on a tee box when a ball landed behind me and hit my leg. I looked down and it was my golf ball, one I’d lost two holes before. Another golfer found it and his wayward shot found me!

    RIP Coach Bowden

    Coach Bowden lived a good life with an emphasis on Faith, Family and Football. If he had to add one more thing to that list of three, I'm sure golf would have been in the running.

    Are You Playing the Wrong Grips?

    Amazingly, the selector chose CP2 Pro/Wrap. which is just what I'm using. I've found this grip to be very durable.

    What golf achievement were you the most proud of in 2019?

    At age 73, shot a round of 71. When I put my score into GHIN I got a message which essentially said, “Are you sure?” Obviously not near my normal scores.

    Bad Course Conditions

    Describe the worst course condition that you've played. Mine would be a private course where the greens had so little grass they were raked instead of mowed.
