Hello from Missouri. My name is Charles and I have been playing since about '91. Haven't played since '03 after I hurt my back. Decided to take it up again recently and trying to relearn the game.

Started with a set of clubs pieced together one club at a time from area pawn shops. I recently picked up a set of 1 thru 4 wooden Stan Thompson drivers and full set of Ben Hogan PowerThurst irons. Last time I played back in '03 I shot around 100 to 115 and it took a lot of work for me to get down to that. I hope now that I have an actual set of clubs with appropriate length and angles that my game will improve. I hope to learn a lot from TST.

I worked in radio for fourteen years and then IT Director for the next twelve. Presently I am working as a meat cutter for a local supermarket.

Welcome Charles. I lived in your neck of the woods back in 79-80 and worked for Peabody Coal Co. close to Clinton (lived in Sedalia though).

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
