Where do the golf clubs go?

I had issues with my Voice Caddie G1. It locked up on me and needed a factory reset which should have been easy to do from the app, but it didn’t work and I had to send it back. A year later, it happened again.(see below) I couldn’t get anyone at Voice Caddie to return emails and I just about...

How many sets of tires have you had in 149,000 miles?

I just refused to play in dry weather when it was below 50, cloudy and windy. No way I’m playing while it’s raining too.

No. Except for a couple of hats, I don’t wear or buy branded/logo apparel golf or otherwise.

Haven’t foam hats been around forever? I’ve got a few from back in the day when I was a fisherman. The foam hats were the cheapest hats you could get and the ones that companies would give away as promotional items. I still have some because I never liked them, and didn’t wear them much but I...

1. I don’t currently play any one particular ball. 2. Mindset is an interesting concept. Having a spot on the ball to focus on and picturing your shot is what I try to do. 3. I’d like to try the Tour B RX ball.

Leave it in for me. The fewer times I have to bend over, especially to pick up the pin off the ground the better. I can’t remember a time when a putt of mine was kept from going in because of the flag. With the guys I play with, if we are all convinced the ball should have fallen, we count it...

I was lucky. I qualified for social security disability when I had to retire at age 61 so I was able to get Medicare early. My wife still needed health insurance and my pension provided money that paid for medical expenses including her health insurance. Medical insurance is a huge expense that...

I use the same grip for every club and every shot including the putter.

If I made $12,000 per shot, I’d have a heck of a lot more money than Scottie.

When I was retiring, I visited a few financial advisors. Two of them instilled zero confidence in their ability to manage my life savings. Both of them only used the Monte Carlo model. Neither of them were working with my best interest at heart. I needed someone whose fiduciary responsibility...

I’ve got an Arnold Palmer sand wedge that I got handed down from my father back in the early 70’s. I have no idea when he got it. I learned how to get out of the sand with it back then and I still use it because it gets me out of soft sand better than any wedge I’ve had since then.

If you had to play with clubs that were the farthest thing from fitting your game, how much worse would you play? In this video, Bryson DeChambeau played 6 holes with a 4 club set of junior clubs and still shot even par. How much do the clubs really matter?

My seniors golf league starts tomorrow. Our tee times for our 18 hole league begins at 8am. With temps at 40° for the first groups out and climbing to a high of 46° and wind speeds of 16-22mph, I’m going to wimp out. I don’t enjoy 4 hours of cold hands and feet or trying to play with layers of...
