So first off, I'm a retired contractor. I gave up golf a bit more than 10 yrs ago to go motorcycle roadracing, after some years when the economy went down hill, it was I could do to survive. Now at 65 yrs old, and with much less flexibility I'm ready to start golfing again.

When I stopped I regularly shot in the low to mid 80's. Being that my Son and daughter in law golf, I borrowed his Taylormade burner clubs. Trying to find my swing again was to say the least..Frustrating lol His clubs just felt wrong, I hate the thick line at address, and I'm not use to the big 460cc drivers.

anyway as not to bore you guys any longer, I'm picking up a set of Titliest 735 CM's this Sat. I figured buying a used set would be better, just cuz ya never know if you'll like them or not, plus I feel I got a decent price on them.

So...here I am trying to catch up on most of the latest info. I think in the last 2 weeks, I watched more of the Golf Channel than I have in my whole life, I recall when it first came on and Bob Toski was the man.

BTW, count on me bugging some of you for info..so I'll say sorry in advance..;)

And yep, that's me in my avt.

You started road racing in your mid-50's? :bugout: You sir, are a nut!

I had a little VF 500 back in the day that I used to run around Willow Springs when I was young, stupid, and bullet proof.  Even all these years later, it still scares me thinking about it..... :beer:

Thanks for the welcome..

I figured you were experienced at riding as you noted you made money from it. That is a big bike you're riding in your avatar! Impressive.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
