HI Guys

Just getting back into playing after only playing once or twice a year last four or five years. Used to play a lot in my late 30's and 40's but a back operation put an end to that for a while, then work and life got in the way, now getting a chance to slow down a little at work so wanting to start back up playing. Going to get custom fitted later in year ( wife's Christmas present to me:) )...hope to retire in a few years so this set of clubs should last me till I get to old to play. Now playing with off the shelf Callaway Irons and driver........shooting in 100's right now but looking forward to improving that next year..so Hello everyone

Welcome! I'm in Farmington Hills. I also used to play often but since the birth of my son have barely played. We are so fortunate to have dozens of fine public courses to play.

there is a lot of courses to play for sure, just wished the grass didn't turn white for so much of the year ;-)

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
