I still have hair up there just not as much as when I was younger. It seems like I'm splitting the difference between my paternal and maternal gradfathers. My Dad's Dad had a full, thick head of hair until the day he died. My Mom's Dad only had hair on the sides and back, and was bald on top...

Same here. I've considered the Driver swing and iron swing to be two different things for quite some time. I've been hitting the Driver great since last year once I got some issues figured out. The irons are more hit and miss. You want to hit the ball first, then the ground, and with a little...

This works for me, and I've been hitting the ball much better. I grip the club, stand up straight and feel my upper arms kind of "squeeze" against the outside of my pecs. Then I address the ball and assume my posture, and I've kind of taken to hovering the clubs. Especially with the Driver. I...

My main golf buddy and I are both 72, but it seems like every year he gets a bug up his butt sometime during the season where he wants to enter scrambles and "win skins" and other money! I have to remind that "loaded" teams are created every year that will enter every scramble in the area...

Okay, I realized that I read this completely wrong! I thought it was a negative angle of attack being talked about. A positive AOA means you are hitting up on the ball and yes, leaning back away from the target will increase it. You could try moving the ball back in your stance a smidge, and...

I played Sunday in a 4 person scramble with my main golf buddy, his Sister and her lady friend, against his Son and 3 of his buddies. We shot a nifty little 6 under par 64 and won. Old'uns against young'uns. Then some of us played 9 yesterday! And I played well again. Sometimes I regret the fact...

Well, not my latest round, but next to latest. On Sunday I, my main golf buddy, his Sister and her lady friend, played a 4 person scramble against his Son and three of his friends. We are all in our 70's, so it was old'uns against the young'uns! I am pleased to announce that we went out and shot...

It's kind of all over the place, but if I had to define it, it would be chipping and pitching the ball. I drove the ball pretty well last year, but that has gotten better this year. Last year I was working my way out of the chipping doldrums. What I didn't realize last year, was the same swing...

I had this in mind, but did not mention it in my reply. I would think the last thing a club would want to do is additional accounting for something they gave away for free. This reminds me of something that I observed many years ago in a cell phone & communications store. A woman was arguing...

Since the certificate read to call the pro shop to reserve "A" tee time (singular), I'm guessing it's for one round for a foursome.

My advice would be to stay just mildly freaked out. My boss transitioned out, to a job that, from what I knew about him, didn't really seem to make sense. That's when my job went from being the best one I ever had, working for the best boss I ever had, to eventually working for one of Satan's...

Been to that movie! Had a mild heart attack about a year and a half ago, was admitted to the hospital and had a couple of stents put in. Then the cardiologist put me all kinds of BP meds. I read all the pamphlets that came with them, and the ones that gave side effects like dizziness or...

Every league I've ever played in, and most courses, both public and private, have you take the stroke penalty but not the distance. They want you to keep pace and keep the play moving! That is, unless it was a sanctioned event. I can distinctly remember quite a few years ago when a new, upscale...

Quite a few years ago we had a winter that was quite cold, but with almost no snow. One of our winter traditions is the "January thaw". This is a brief period of warm weather that basically heaves up all the roads and results in potholes! One weekend was supposed to approach the mid 50's so we...

The hips don't really do that. They don't slide all the way through impact. They slide at first to get the weight over the targetward foot, and then turn because you need to get the targetward hip out of the way. I think that this is why we see so many new players "step in the bucket" with their...

^^^^^^^^ This is a point. Chasing distance can be a fool's game. At 72 years old I'm at peace with the fact that I can't do the same things that I could do when I was 22! Who can? And, as far as I'm concerned, muscling the club or slugging at the ball is actually a distance killer. What I've...

I kinda, sorta, remember saying something like that. Like it would be time for hunting season so the golf took a back seat. However, if I think about it, I believe that I have played golf in NE Ohio in every month of the the year, just not every month in the same year. But after my heart attack...

Good for you! This area is ripe for exploitation! I once supported several charitable organizations through the mail, and they went crazy, plus they sold their mailing lists to other outfits that filled my mailbox with begging. Then I read a suggestion somewhere that advised you to mix and...

I've been to that movie! It was a few years ago that my mian golf buddy's Son called me with his vacation schedule and that he wanted to treat his Dad to a week of really special golf, and asked me to look around and see what I could find. He wanted to really "golf it up"! I found a package deal...

It may sound simplistic and formulaic, but I read a comment a long time ago that you can tell a really good golfer by the fact that they could hit their long irons high and their short iron low! Once, a long time ago, I was having trouble with my swing and went to get lessons at an instruction...
