Hi:

I have been playing about 5 years after starting late (late 40's). I am only recently playing about twice a month. So still very much the beginner.

Current goals are consistent iron play and breaking 90.

My game is starting to come around -- new clubs and GPS (technology is a wonderful thing), back to the gym for some conditioning, more time practicing, and almost figuring out what is a good golf swing.

I am a programmer/database admin with big pharma. Besides work, my spouse and I raise and show Scottish Terriers, do some photography ( www.troubleScottie.smugmug.com for some (lots ) images) and started to travel a bit.


As to playing in Seattle, actually we have it really quite nice here. It never really gets too cold or hot and the rain is generally pretty light - almost a mist. We loss a few fall and winter months (Nov to Feb) to leaves and soggy courses. We have late sunsets in the summer -- it is setting after 9 PM at the end of May. Lots of inexpensive ($30-60) courses which are mostly, well maintained. Most of the golfers here are fair weather players, so more time for the others.

Enjoying the site so far.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
