Getting my lawn under control has been on my to-do list every year. I always tell myself that I am going to get on a schedule for pre-emergent, fertilizer, etc..., but I never do. Last year I built a shop that tore up my side yard. It is still torn up because I have to rip up all of my old concrete around my pool and replace it. I didn't want to fix the side yard until that was done. The last 2 years, moles have destroyed it. I have got to get rid of those guys..

Just invite the moles out to a bar for a drink. Sit together within 6 ft, don't wear masks and arrive with the virus on your dirty hands.

That's how I have been trying to get rid of them..lol

Funny story on the mole hunting. My daughter and I were walking through the yard one day moving the water hose. Emma says "look daddy, there is a mole tunnel."  It was a hole in my sod by the pool, which frustrated me. In a fit of rage, I jammed the water hose into the tunnel and said "how about a nice cool drink, varments" as I was playing out my Caddyshack role. I let it run for a few seconds and started to walk off. Them Emma says, "Daddy, there he is!" I said, "no, that's just the dirt from the hole that was dug." She said, "No, it's moving." I looked and sure enough, the mole was trying to come out of the tunnel. I guess the hose had sprayed him right in the face. I dug him out and disposed of him.  It was pretty funny because I never in a million years expected the water hose to work.

We had a vole under our outside shower at my cottage. I could see the tunnel going to my neighbors yard. But then we had some landscaping done and he’s gone.

    • He said: “Yeah. So tech wise and numbers wise, look, I've had the same concerns, I guess, just from I hadn't obviously played a match,” McIlroy said Tuesday at Pebble Beach Golf Links, where he is preparing for his first PGA Tour event of the season at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. “I went in there on Wednesday, and I brought two other launch monitors with me. I brought my GCQuad, I brought my TrackMan. Obviously, hitting balls into the screen and every number was virtually identical. That put my concerns to bed, which was really good. I hit balls in there for 90 minutes.” I wonder, though, if the lights were different, or something like that caused some of the issues. Again, if you tell Tiger it's 100 yards, he's gonna hit it 100 yards, not 130. Even if he's blindfolded.

    • As usual, this is difficult to answer without seeing your swing. So, my first suggestion is to start a My Swing Thread.  After that, my next best guess is that you fade (slice) your driver more than your 3-wood.  I once played with a guy who had such a glancing blow with his driver that I could out drive him with my 6 iron.  Get with a good instructor and learn to hit your driver properly. Even with 93 mph swing speed you should be able to hit your driver 210-230. 
    • I recently returned to golf and got a Swing Caddy SC300i. It has confirmed what I have suspected for some time - I hit my 3 wood as far as my driver. This is backed up by similar swing speeds of 93 MPH. I have had 6 months off golf and exercise, so my speed is down a bit on what it was. Driver is 12 degrees, D1, Cobra 70g stiff shaft. 3 wood is 15 degrees, D0, Cleveland Gold 65g stiff shaft. The 3 wood feels great to me and flies straight. The driver feels dead to me and tends to slice. A local pro thinks the shafts are both a little on the soft side of stiff (which suits for me). The only difference I can see is the driver total weight is 340 grams and the 3 wood is 320 grams. My question is what is going on? Surely 20 grams should not slow my driver down to the same swing speed as my 3 wood?
