It's a real issue where I live. Lots of deciduous trees and most of the courses around here are full of them. While I appreciate the effort some course put in to clear the leaves, it's just impossible during certain times of the year to keep up with it. The fall rains sometimes make it so the...
Finding your ball when the leaves fall can be challenging. Answer the poll with your best choice sentiment. Then expound below on how you feel and how you deal with the situation.
Here are a few of mine.
Found a fantastic new partner for league play. Lee and I came within a whisker of getting into the playoff championship bracket, top 4 teams, in a 43-team league. But more than the results, we really hit it off.
I introduced two of my grandchildren to the game of golf...
I moved to another region of the country a year ago. I’m now in a four seasons environment. I have made great progress with the lawn, but I’m looking to take things to the next level.
I have a 1/2 acre of land that is mostly lawn. Our subdivision is nearby a quary and the ground isn’t that...
BSOTR was a putt, which was a theme for the day. The back 9 has one par 5. My third shot was very nearly perfect. It needed to travel a mere 6 inches farther to be perfect. But because of those 6 inches, it bounded high on the front of the berm staying on the collar. The putt from the...
Accuracy of approach shots. Three contributing factors.
1. Lots of work on full and partial swing technique which lead to more accurate shots that hold the green better.
2. Full swing technique work that got some distance back. Always welcome at age 67. Led to shorter approach shots.

The only time I have hit a 300 yard drive was downhill, downwind, and years ago.
None of my rounds are sims.
I started playing before Arpanet—much less before Al Gore invented the Internet.
I started when woods were.
Hybrids weren’t.
…and balls would smile at you.
One of my leagues plays on a course that has a dastardly hole—the 16th. A par 4 that goes downhill, takes an 80-degree dogleg left with tall mature trees guarding the inside of the knee. Then about 100 yards out there is a deep ravine with tall reeds in a pond at the bottom, then a steep...
Don’t think I’ll need to replace anything in 2025, except I always re-grip my swinging clubs. I replaced wedges earlier this year. I am really happy with every club in my bag.
Now my wife may be a different matter.
We just got her a 5W Callaway Paradym Smoke, which she now hits as far as her...
Things you remember looking back on this season. Things that you experienced, accomplishments, things that made you laugh, stuff you witnessed. Whatever makes this season memorable for you.
Post as many as you want, as much as you want. Paint a picture for the rest of us so we can relive it...
Yes, it's all about the best clubs for your game.
Last week I took my wife to GG to get her the longest fairway club for her. She was quite the athlete earlier in her life, but a disability now severely impacts her SS. All the semi-finalist clubs were either 5W or 7W as her maximum ball speed...
This is to be distinguished from the Best Shot of the YEAR! thread. This could be an experience, an exceptional round, a milestone achievement, a golf purchase, a trip, or anything golf-related that was the highlight of your golf year.
Having read all the comments so far, I have the following observations.
1. I think OldandStiff is onto something. This really distorts handicaps. In competition, this is mostly to the advantage of mid-to-high HC players, or players with a higher HC within a flight.
2. The USGA and GHIN have...
