I have been lurking here for awhile and finally decide to join. I do enjoy reading all the posts and hopefully will chime in from time to time.

I am in Baton Rouge, LA and have been playing for 3 years. Recently I was introduced to the teachings of The Golfing Machine (TGM) by Homer Kelly. This has helped me lower my handicap by over 10 strokes fairly quickly and I hope to lower even more this year.

Welcome aboard. I think you'll find the sandtrap an inviting place to hang out.

How did the courses in your area fair in the storms down there? I'm sure there are probably some in much worse shape than others. I'd think the impact would have been pretty tough on some of them.

According to the Zurich Classic website, the TPC of Louisiana (New Orleans area) which held this PGA event last year has enough damage that it will be held once again at English Turn in April 2006. Funny thing is that English Turn is only about 25 mile away from the TPC. Go figure.

They're trying to get the event back to the TPC, I read, I think.

      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
