Hello. I'm Jeff, from McKinney, TX.  I'm returning to golf after a lengthy absence. I used to play weekly, but switched to flying sailplanes about 15 years ago. Both are primarily weekend activities, so something had to give. I've recently switched back to golf, although I've only played a few times since I decided to get back into the game. I'm currently trying to get my 64 y/o body to do what it used to, but due to my significant travel for work, it's really hard to sustain an exercise routine. Living in hotels, working odd hours, and eating on the road are issues that I need to manage better to get back into shape to be able to swing a club the way I want to.  Nonetheless, I hope to be playing regularly soon! 

Looking forward to interacting with the other members of this group.

Welcome to TST!

Once you've played golf you'll always come back to it regardless of the length of the gap or age.

Enjoy the journey!

I suppose that is true. I have not played in over 21 years. I was never good. I played socially at Company outings mostly. 

I am 68 years old now. I am interested in the game again for these reasons:

Exercise, walking the course, pursuing it from a minimalist vantage point with 6 or 7 clubs.

Most golf courses are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It all adds to the Joy of living.

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By saevel25 · Posted

      JPX ONE Driver - Mizuno Golf Official Website Discover the JPX ONE Driver - /jpxone/jpxone-driver-hero-mobile.webp /jpxone/jpxone-logo-white-lg.svg The World’s first NANOALLOY™ DRIVER... Mizuno is introducing new technology with their JPX One fairway woods and drivers. The new tech for golf but used tech for Mizuno since it is found in their baseball side of the business, is Nanoalloy. Nanoalloy is a microscopic polymer layer put on the face of their titanium driver. What this layer does is change the elasticity of the driver face and increases ball speed over a larger area of the clubface. Adding a bit more elasticity with this layer, they are conserving the golf balls energy from the impact.  Due to USGA rules, this technology falls under their coating regulations. Which add a correction factor to the ball speed testing done for conforming golf clubs. This rule was introduced when Taylormade went to their carbon clubface. Which I didn't know existed.  I am sure that center strikes are at the USGA limits like all other drivers. This has my interest. I am always, "window shopping", for new golf equipment 😉
