Intriguing thread. I used to set challenges for myself every year before I quit then game back in 2008.
Come to think of it, I haven't set a single goal since coming back 3 1/2 years ago. Wrist injuries limited me for a while but that's not an excuse anymore.
Thanks pards.......you just...
I play the senior tees when doing the weekday & weekend team blitz thing, but when I'm off with my son and friends at another course I play the regular tees with them. It's fun jacking one past them every now and then. Let the **** talking begin. ;)
I was on base at Little Creek last Friday and the golf course was a mess. I've been here since 1986 and never seen it this bad, and that includes a few hurricanes that have come through in the past.
They opened the back 9 for walking only by Sunday.
I don't need a bad round to blame for my addiction to fiddling around with equipment.
It's gotta be the shafts, or swing weight, or sole grind, or grips....................right? ;)
I put the clubs away about a month ago. Just showing up to play had a blase feeling. ( Burnout? ) Seems to happen to me every couple of years or so.
So anyways, I've been filling my time out in the shop the last few weeks catching up on some projects and doing some tinkering on a iron...
Borrowed a set of Icon's when my buddy was out to sea for a couple weeks. Sweet irons.
The S400 shafts he had in them were a bit too much for me. I would have loved to have hit them with something like the KBS 115 shafts in them.
Had a set of Edge Apex Pro's that I liked but my son ended...
Tour Edge C521 3W
Bought it on a recommendation from a friend and I got it off Rock Bottom Golf for around a $100.00 or so.
Seems to have a fade bias and I love it.
I don't care if the ball has a line or not.
I play with guys that will adjust their lines 4-5 times.
Get's irritating to watch with some of the guys to be honest.
I'm playing the senior tees now and it's almost like stealing. I don't pull the driver much except for the par 5's and one long par 4.
Driver = 5 times +/-
3W = maybe 2-3 times. But It will replace the driver in a heartbeat some days.
4 iron = 8-9 times off the tee
PW/GAP/SW probably...
The only thing I want from a 3 wood is neutral bias.
I bought a Tour Edge C521 for a little over $100.00 off Rock Bottom Golf late last fall on a recommendation from a friend.
It is the best 3 wood I've had in the bag since the Taylormade V-Steel that I played years ago. It's nice not...
I played every weekend with with a couple Navy Officers and a Senior Chief when I took up the game in 1982. They were all good pretty good golfers but welcomed me into the fold even as bad as I was.
The only thing they ever asked of me was to " miss em quick" and "put it in my pocket once I...
Ground is too wet .....at least on the courses I generally play.
Went to Harbor Freight and bought a gram scale for club building.
Ordered 4 hosel brushes
Self taught back in 1982 on a sometimes breezy course @ Sub Base in Groton Ct. A great little 9 hole course just off the Thames River. However, the entire course was OB Right from tee to green. OB was only a few feet to the right of the tee boxes on some holes. (2-4-6-9)
Because of my fear...
Dogs and cats. Still have 3 dogs.
I have a fox, a racoon, and a stray cat over at the equipment yard. They hang out every day around my maintenance bay don't seem to bother each other. My wife wonders why we go through so much dog food, not knowing that I fill a couple sandwich baggies every...
