I am 47 just had major(Ok if not major to you,diffidently major to me LOL) Last Oct(The 31st) I had spine fusion of L-3 and 4, and decompression of L-5 I just seen my surgeon at the 12 week mark, the spine has healed really good, but suffer a lot of strength from my left leg. I am starting rehab next week. Ask him and gave me the green light to start swinging,slowly, short irons first and work with PT. I have a ton and a half of work to go to get back into playing shape, and try to get back to my 15+ handicap. So what I am i looking at?, should i see a swing Dr to change my swing, i had already did on my own, shorting up on my back swing,but it was to late to save my back. I was self taught so those early years took a beating. So i was just trying gauge what i am in store for?. I look forward to the recovery, i have not play a round since June, so i am itching really bad to get back out there.

I think that's just part of the game of Golf, complaining lol. We really have no one else to blame for our golf game but our self. So we chose to blame the course,the noise, the birds etc LOL Its the golfer vs the ball!.

I like that there's complaining and whining, that there struggling out there like the rest of us, or just me LOL. There struggles are light years from mine, but there human and when there frustrated?, well they get upset just like us. I do love how they contain there composer!, i learn a lot from that and still learning.

Ya that's true,,very true. I my self like to look at it as, if not on the green, get on the fringe or just off(with in 5 to 10yards). There, i am more like 80% on. Chip It close 1 put for par or bogey and I am walking away pretty happy. My Issue is actually two fold,like I said getting to read the green,i always say i should of been a gardener to be a good putter. My eyes always fail me. Then, control over the ball,Driver,irons putter does not matter. I get over the ball and i feel like I had two pots of coffee. I am a bundle of nerves,before after,walking to the ball I am cool as a cucumber. I think that's the great thing about golf to(not the Bundle of nerves) but you are constantly learning, even if you are re-learning the same thing,always something to work on.

So I am not long off the tee usually I am 240 to 250, pretty straight,most of the time. My second shot I am usual 140 to 160 out on par 4's. I hit the greens about 40%, chipping is ok to pretty good and I have accepted the fact I am a Par Bogey golfer,par's are my birdie's LOL. My big issue Is reading greens, putts feel good but I miss read the break and or the speed almost all the time. I avg just over 2 putts a hole,not horriable but i could shave that down if i could read a green.

getting stomp?, I made my opinon,weather you all like it or not,its just a opinon. Maybe the long time members should have a more open mind?, and not so close off. I came on here to talk golf not getting so called "stomp on". I did not care what they thought of my comment,i respected there side,but to say i should just fold in because they have been here longer, no!. Don't worry i will leave you guys to your good old boys club, kind of like golf use to be,only open to one way of thinking!

I always joining a group or going out by my self, but I am always solo. I pretty much play the same way,i am a boggy golfer. I found out when I play by my self, i rush my self a bit. Its something i have to get out of the habit of doing. I should actually play better.

that Is great, i always try to play under 3.50,never can do it. And shooting a 82 on top of that great job.

wow you have some real built up bitter Aggression!. I do not make up score to make my self look better then others , i play the game that makes me feel better,nobody else. Again cheating only comes into play if I better my self aganinst someone else. You seem to lose that fact that I play only for my self. You go on believeing what you want and I will contenue playing the game,my game, they way I wan,t and at the end of the day thats all that matters. Now that is believable. Because I wanted to. no i did not say the rules piss me off(wrong quote). No, nobody here will piss me off. I love to talk golf,if no one likes my opinion or does!, that's up to them,that's why Its called a opinion.

Working on better wedge play, inside 80yards. I get it there, but i am usually sitting near the outer green so i like to get it closer to the hole. Also my putting,or i should say my green reading!. I can not read a green to save my life!.At the end of the day if i could master reading a green i would be a happy golfer.

Being a Cheat!, like cheating in what?. What have I claim to cheat? a handicap?, a handicap that's mine!, i bought the right to post anything i want. Now If i go and post a score In a tounerment,useing my handicap then yes then you would have a argument,wich in turn sounds like what you really want anyways!. You go play your XXXX game anyway you want and i will do the same. I will post any score i want, and If you don't like it,well then you will just have to live with it.

Well I play 4 rounds since last Saturday,to date its the most golf I have ever play In a week time. I started out Last Saturday morning at Jackson golf course, i shot a 82. It was a wonderful day. Sunday was a hot one here In the NW,muggy. I Play Bellevue Muni shot a 87, i had to bag the last two holes. I had heat exshaustion. I was I pretty bad shape. Wen play Jackson again, shot a 83 much better day. I got a round special on the 4th and shot a 84 at Bellevue.

Its golf not a car race you do what you feel is best!. I for one I am not a rule guy,way!!! from it LOL. I do not play for money(not even for a soda) i do not really play In tounerments and i don't play competive rounds with anyone so i will admit I Greatly fudge the rules, actually the rules for golf just will piss me off LOL.I belive you play the game the way you like it no matter what people say

I shot a 82 at Bellevue Muni,just east of Seattle. The last year and a half I float with 70's, but have only broke it once. I find my self with a hole or two or three that I have a brain fart. I am really not that anxious to break 80 really!, i really like where my game Is.
