    Retrieving those lost golf balls...

    Wouldn't it be nice if you could get those lost golf balls back? I mean, at $25/$35/$45 a dozen, golf ball investments can get out of hand. At ALVGC we have volunteers who regularly scour the brush and search through the tall fescue, retrieving 100s of golf ball a week. Those ball are brought...

    Clubs 4 Veterans

    As a longtime member of THP... A couple of weeks ago, I invited THP members to visit our American Lake Veterans Golf Course at http://www.veterangolf.org or www.nicklaus.com/design/american-lake-veterans or on Facebook at Friends of American Lake Veterans Golf Course, and I asked for donations...

    The Disappearing golf clubs... oh wait?

    I did a dumb thing, last week, as I prepared to fly to Florida. I decided I would pull the trigger on Ship Sticks and sent my clubs on ahead. It was a disaster. Since I sent them by ground, I got here well ahead of them. I shipped them on Sept 4th and I flew on September 5. It's now Sept 13th...

    SHAFTS: Senior/Regular/Stiff... How did you choose.

    Five years later, I still consider myself NEW to golf, although I have learned much. Back in the beginning, my naïveté and lack of asking, had me playing with Ping red dot SENIOR flex shafts. I figured at 68 years old and just starting, it made good sense. A few years later, when I bought my...

    Lessons.... and PRACTICE pays dividends.

    Since taking my chipping/pitching lessons, with our Club PGA Pro, Rick Gerouix, a few of weeks ago, and my DAILY PRACTICE SESSIONS... I have EIGHT (8) chip ins from off the green, and 92% of my following putts are from inside 6 feet. I've gone from shooting mostly mid 80's to shooting mostly...

    Golf doesn't care!

    Golf doesn't care..... If you are playing a long course or a short course. The game consists of 18 separate, individual challenges unrelated to each other, except for their combined scoring. If you reach a short Par 4 in one and 4 putt, you get the same score as reaching a longer Par 4 in two...

    Big Changes at ALVGC this year....

    Hmmmmmm, 8.5?

    Not sure how GHIN gave me an 8 handicap... nor am I impressed by it. We don't even put scores in, this time of year in the GNW. In fact, the computers are not supposed to accept any scores from course in our 3 state region (Washington, Oregon, Idaho).

    Mixing up the bag with Drivers and Woods.... to manage some distances.

    My new Big Bertha fairway woods arrived today..... so, in tomorrow morning's Scramble I am going with 2 Drivers... a 9° Big Bertha Alpha off the Tee and a 13.5° off the deck, a 15° 3 Wood and a 20° 7 Wood... all Big Berthas and all set to favor a draw over a cut shot, which, more often than not...

    Swing Speed aides... false reads.

    Just for fun, I picked up a Medicus power meter and set it up per instructions. No way am I ready to believe that my swing speed is over 120 mph. So, I'm guessing that this Medicus power meter is a piece of junk. Today's Pro Golfers don't swing that fast.Not to mention that a close inspection...
