    Shaft Length for a Driver

    I have stock and I have -1 tour length. Currently playing tour length. Don't see that it has any material impact on distance. How I make contact is far more important on both distance and accuracy.

    Random Thoughts based on a round with 3 guys much better than I

    The beasts that bomb it +275 that I've played with were impressive and fun in a scramble but not the best scores. best scores were the guys that appear boring to watch but they are not making many errors and proximity to pin was very good. I've played with some great true Senior golfers...

    Nebulous Question Alert: At what handicap is one considered a "good" golfer?

    Like this as well and I want to share why. It was only in 2023 that I could say that my warmup swing before the round looked really good. not just accuracy but the height on the ball was amazing. What I wanted to see is that some of that made it to the course; and it did...

    Nebulous Question Alert: At what handicap is one considered a "good" golfer?

    Thanks for posting. You are much more detailed in describing it. It was a distant memory but you captured it perfectly. I played with a group of college golfers down in Phx metro many years ago. No pro's but college guys. They dropped putts like I'd never seen before and when...

    Nebulous Question Alert: At what handicap is one considered a "good" golfer?

    a decent professional and an ameture in any sport should never be in the same sentance. for the same reason that someone making 750K a year and a billionaire should never be in the same sentence. Once upon a time a pro on the boston Celtics last name scalobrini was trashed on boston sports...

    6 hr round

    not sure this has to do with slow play. Reed had his worst game of the year. I suspect making 5 million a year this time next year has its reward

    Have you noticed how many recent PGA winners think Ben Hogan is full of ****

    This hits me at great context that I'd not even considered. When I tee a ball up on a par3, I get it just off the grass and to a casual glance one might think it was on the ground. really trying to ensure I don't have a bad lie on a tee box and even 30 years ago on some public...

    Have you noticed how many recent PGA winners think Ben Hogan is full of ****

    legally in this country you are correct if the criteria was teach yourself, use balls & clubs that are ~80 model years before ours, and be one of the most accurate ball strikers the world has known then one comes to another answer. I do think the equipment he used, his skill, and lack of...

    Have you noticed how many recent PGA winners think Ben Hogan is full of ****

    I don't know which is better because I can't strike it pure enough from swing to swing to determine. Only a few humans in the history of the world have the right to talk about if Hogan was right or wrong IMO and I'm not one. Pretty sure no one on the internet or playing professionaly at...

    Winn grips - yea or nay?

    Love them! Durability is acceptable in my hands. My practice set needs to be re-gripped but I hit 30 balls almost daily using 2-4 clubs per practice session. My gaming set has about 50 rounds plus warm-ups or 1 year of play for me and they are in OK shape. I will change both sets out...

    Playing With Confidence

    once upon a time as a much younger man, I had a meltdown. Then I departed the game for about 15 years while raising kids. When I rejoined I became a student of the game. +5 years after becoming a student I improve and now am far better then my first 30 years of golf. In 2023, I...
