Welcome to The Sand Trap!

Clearly the influx in information on food products have not decreased the amount of food people eat. Obesity is going up. I don't think people get past the front label on the product. I think calorie information is good on single use items. On a bottle of ketchup, it's not important. Calorie per serving size doesn't help when people don't even understand service size. There is a lot we are still finding out about weight loss. I will contend the best way is to eat more lean protein and veggies. Look how easy it is to go to Wendy's and grab a double with fries and a coke and eat 1500 calories. Which for many is 60-70% their calorie intake for the day. Then they sneak in a candy bar later, knock off another 10%. 1 candy bar is near 10% the required calorie intake. You can eat a 1lb steak and a baked potato and have less calories than that meal at Wendy's. You'll end up not wanting to eat for the next day.    

@JonMA1 I'll be there.  Let us know the tee time you get.

Wont be anything special at that price. I found that on cheapo new clubs that the shafts are really soft and too flexible. Dont get me wrong, some cheap clubs can be excellent. I bought a set of Hippo Beast bi-metal irons 3-SW for £40 as an experiment with heavier shafts. They are the same age as the Wilson Di9's i had been gaming and in top condition. They are superb clubs....ended up selling the Wilsons and using the cash on a new Cleveland putter. Might be better looking for second hand premium or towards that end of the quality scale, but on the other hand for $19.99, if its crap then you havent lost a great deal.

just keep playing. For me i often play more golf during autumn and winter as the course's are quieter (less fair weather only golfers out). Plus i practice putting and chipping indoors and pitching indoors with foam balls
