My wife and I played a round of golf on our honeymoon, 10 years ago. We have a 12 year old (my step-daughter) that also goes out with us and is taking an interest in it. This is our 10th year anniversary coming up in Sept., so rather than going on a trip for the h/m, we gave each other a new set of Callaways. We thought we'd spend that much or more on the trip, so why not put it towards something we could enjoy together for years to come.
Golf is just another activity that we enjoy doing together.

Glad I don't have a wife now that makes me look for way to get away from her.
The first wife... yes!

Almost posted a new thread but this fits the bill. I need help.

I'd be pretty stoked if I was you. You could turn this into an entire "hustle" situation... start with your dad first.

+1 on Rexx's comments!!!!

And she hasn't played since college? What 2 3 yrs maybe....so she will be a little rusty. I think she will play to you and your dad's level this time....next time she will whip both your a$$es!

It's the indian, not the arrow! But it sure is nice to have good arrows!!!!!

My GF is going to play her first round of nine tomorrow at the par 3.

Man, this is touching. I hope one day I can say stuff like this about my girl! (When I find the willpower to last more than a few months with one.)

Admittedly, I could never date a girl who is a better golfer than I am. I'm not mentally strong enough.

Been with my girlfriend for a year and a half now and looks like we might be picking up a set for her this weekend. She has been to the range and hit a few balls off one of my little brother's club and she has gone on the course with me, but I can't wait to get out and play with her.

My wife does not play golf. She occasionally expresses interest in it but she doesnt have the patience or the drive to practice much. I have taken her out with me to chip and putt a few times but she gets bored quickly and wants to leave. Also, there is no way I can give her swing tips...I've learned that one the hard way! So now when she states that she wants to play I tell her feel free to go get some lessons which keeps her quiet for awhile. I always tell people that its a win win situation for me, if she decides to play we will go out and have fun together, if not then I get some time away out on the course

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!
