Hiway1tele

congrats on your good round..

I play a small course, ( 5500 yds ) and play the red/senior tees..I see the same thing..they can hit it harder, but its usually 200yds right or left...I would rather have it 180 yds straight, than 300 yds in trees or a pond..

nah, we are pretty even...I even have a 5400 yd course we can play...

Jon... Come to Dallas, we will go play a round or two....

Hey Jon, I gave it up for most of last year..a week or two ago I went to the range and did okay, I got a great deal on a set of XR irons, so I got them..and went to try them out...when I could keep my speed slow and my tempo in time I did reasonably well, the shots stayed nice and straight, and the impact felt good...the larger clubs still present a challenge..still try and swing from the top with big clubs....just not enuff swing in my hips and body.. and no, I probably still a have a temper that kills my game if I hit a few bad shots in a row...

Jon, I have played a 5400 yard course for the last 5 years, My short game is better than average...Like yourself, I still play it poorly, all due to the long swings..I have played it in the mid 90's sometimes... and the high 90's moreso...as you mentioned, its a consistant repeatable swing that is needed for a consistant game...when its not there, the game sucks...when its there, I play good...playing a short course hasnt fixed anything for me...I hit the same lousy shots regardless...

How true, the writing on the wall got bigger and bigger each time I played last year...unfortunately I dont have short term memory nor tolerance for that kind of game...I made the best decision for me and Golf....and I still love the game..as long as I am watching it and not playing it.

I bought the LSW today...

that just amplifies how bad of a loser I am at golf...in 10+ years I have not improved at all...some people have it, and some of us wont ever get it..

a lil compliment on being a good player..was just casting a lighthearted view on the previous post..didnt mean to offend you..my apology..have a good weekend..

must be real easy..you have a 10 index...

@scopek Your in Michigan, get together sometime with @jonma , he is up there somewhere..

Thanks Lihu..I dont hate it, I just dont have fun playing ...so the interest isnt there any longer...I am still a golf fan..just not a player..

Jon, Been there , done that also..have broken my share of clubs against inanimate objects..thats another reason I gave it up... Lihu, Not all of us find it fun...if I did, I'd still be playing...I am happy for those of you that play well enough to enjoy it..
