I've played larger holes at charity events in past years. The event involved youngsters with vision issues. During covid, a local course painted a 12 inch diameter circle around the holes. The ball just needed to roll across the hole to count as holed out . I'd play anything they made available.

No, not really. I actually don't know the difference on fairways, and greens. The only I know is bermuda grass, after the rough turns yellow.

Local Park where junior golf is taught .

We don't have a club pro at my home course. The maintenance manager is rarely on property, as he stays at the other local course. Our "committee" is the person collecting green fees. For any special rules we just ask her/him. Our leaf rule is after a 3 minute search, and the ball not being...

I have been told that proper hydration helps with keeping energy levels healthy. Being a desert dweller, staying hydrated is a big deal for me. Even this late in the year we are still dealing with triple digit temps during the day. 105 today they say. As for food intake. I always start my day...

The Eagles at the Sphere last week. The music was pretty darn good. I mean its the Eagles. That said, the moving art work behind the band was nothing less than EXTREMELY OUTSTANDING. . Perhaps I have heard the Eagles so much they have lost some of their ZAP, but this was my first time inside...

Putter has led the way this year averaging 30. 1 putts per round. I'm talking GIRs here. For the past few months, my driver deserves honorable mention.

I m an old guy. I am distance challenged on approach shots of +150 yards. I lose 5-7 strokes a round because of this. What should be my 1st putt is usually a chip, or shorter pitch shot. Even with this affliction, I can still get around most golf courses under 90 strokes if I play the...

I was fit for my current gamers a long time go. Those and the clubs they replaced. My long time, swing teaching pro was also a highly qualified club fitter, and builder. I use to kid him that he could build a club that even a Chimpanzee could hit. Now here's the deal. As a hobby, I buy...

I was remembering my first set of Tour Edge irons (2 through lw, 12 clubs) all came with head covers. So that bag had 14 head covers. These were Ironwoods, and had some sort of high impact plastic (?) on the club head. I used the covers until they wore out. No one had much to say about using...

My guess is 14 max, since that's the number of clubs allowed. Me, I have 6. 5 on my metal woods, and one my putter.

I make my own weird golf rounds. No particular reason. Just wigged out on my own swing. I cant count the number of times, over the years, that I finished poor rounds up by hitting nothing but 9i punch shots from ree to green. Then again, I wouldn't trade those bad rounds for anything, as...

I carry an older Killer Bee square, low profile 5w. For a lot of years I hated it. I just couldn't play well with it. My 3w, and 7w played just fine all things being equal except the length. Then one day out of the blue, while cleaning it, I saw the shaft orientation of the 5w was...

Played in my first "Super Senior" (65 or older) tournament this morning. (red, forward tees) Had a great time with a net 72, even par round. Good enough for 9th place out of 22 other old farts. I hit my hdcp right on the nose. Winner had a net 65 . (not going there) My putting was off...

KEWL BEANS......Sounds like a great idea.

Our d-range has different models/brands balls in their buckets. Some balls fly great, some don't. Because of this mix/match of balls I normally just work on swing mechanics, while just paying attention to the first 50-75 yards of the ball flights. If I really need to see the ball flights of...

I was a visitor in an event last last summer (2023). The course had forced carries over gravel areas. Some of the waste areas were gravel, and caught a few errant shots. Im a short knocker, and I played from the same tees as the 4 some I was with. They were all longer than myself. I couldn't...

When I first saw it, I thought it looked similar to my TE Bazooka 8 Ironwood, which is my chipping club. I just grip down on my Ironwood. My chipping set up, and stroke is identical to my putting set up, and stroke. Would I use it? Probably not, as I already have several chippers laying around...

Not really working on a specific club, but putting together club sets I have two staff bags from Mizuno, and Ping. Both are in excellent condition All that's missing in the Mizuno bag are are 2 metal woods. I just started the Ping bag a couple weeks ago. So far I have a driver, 5, an 6. Eye...

I was at my favorite bargain bin earlier. While there a another younger guy had a golf bag, and was putting clubs in it. I asked him if he was just starting his golf journey. He said he was. He asked how long I had been playing. Told him near 50 years. He then asked if I could recommend what...
