    Tight window off the tee/blind drive

    Around here, some of the courses have some interesting tee box placements to get the further back tees back a bit. Last weekend I played a course I hadn't played in over 4 years, and never from the blue tees. I get to the 11th hole and this is my view off the tee: Where the person standing...

    Through random chance, I ended up with my grandfather on my mom's side's old clubs. It is an interesting set, Wilson Aggressor 1/3 woods, Taylormade Iron Cleek 1-PW, and and Acushnet putter. I was thinking it might be cool to clean up or refinish the putter, but I'm not sure if it's possible...

Does anyone else have a situation like this and if so, do you make the trek to a facility that is out of the way, or do something else? Otherwise, are there things can...
