What are some of your other hobbies?

Basketball (but I have to watch overdoing it since I am 60 years young), reading----economics, business news (eg. the "Wall Street Journal"), photography, using the internet for usable information, writing and editing (I am the Publisher and Editor of a regional golf magazine, and in it I always write an historical article about some locale in Upstate New York), TRYING to keep up with our 4 year old grand daughter who is a real competitor and has to "win" at everything---golf, walking (actually running) to the playground, etc. I try to hike and take pictures because we live in the "foothills of the Adirondack mountains", but I do not have enough time to do that as much as I would like---"Adirondack Life" is one of my favorite magazines.

I play bridge once or twice a week. I spend a bit of time on top of that trying to improve my bidding skills and hand evaluation, but it's rather casual at this point.

I used to be a serious movie buff, but this has withered lately, to the point where it's been a long time since I saw a movie multiple times in theaters or rushed to pick up a DVD on release date. This hobby now just comes up periodically - as it will next week, when the next James Bond comes out, or back in May with Indiana Jones, or next May with Terminator. But it's really just major releases that do it for me now.

i've played bass and guitar for about 14 years now, took up piano a couple of years ago. i was huge into chess before the golf bug bit. i still play occasionally but i'm nowhere near as good as i was back in the day. i'm also real big into old school video games, particularly the super nintendo/sega genesis/sega cd era.

    • A good option is to play the Par 3 courses. after playing an 18 -hole round. The Par 3 courses have 18 holes, we usually played only 9 holes after playing 36 holes on each of the trips we had. You may want to check out Grand National while you're in the middle of Alabama. I enjoyed Oxmoor Valley and Ross Bridge courses which are a short drive north.
    • In August, I am playing the World Am in Myrtle Beach. I do not know which courses yet, but should be a blast. Aside from that, those are the only golf trip plans, unless I play while on vacation in Destin in June.
    • Even on a perfect center hit I was receiving at most 1.48 smash factor. 10 days ago on the warming up for a round my Driver made a weird sound, I checked the bottom and it was cracked. Don't know for how long it was cracked but at least this time the crack was easy visible. Maybe it was already cracked before but with a more subtle crack?.. don't know. I'm waiting for TaylorMade to approve the warranty and send me a new head. I was using the Stealth Plus, I will take the opportunity and upgrade it to the Qi10 LS paying the difference.  On Sunday with my old Titleist 915 and softer balls I was reaching 1.5, even 1.51 on center hits. Test didn't went well. Only gained 2..3 miles, not worth pursuing. Figured out that with a ball and with a target, my path was way to in to out with this new idea, so in order to move the club in the correct path I needed to slow down to redirect the club on the downswing or aim more to the right, close the face a play a big hook.. not possible. I already play a big draw with Driver, more curvature is unplayable. Yesterday at home, with no ball messed around with a more neutral path, even swinging a little out to in. It felt a lot more in sync with the body. With a big in to out path it feels like my hands are working right, away from the body, when the body is working to rotate to the left. With the path to the left is was easier to apply force thru the hitting zone.  As always tested 10 swings with my current swing (A), and 10 with this little out to in path(B).  The difference was huge, like 12 miles faster with swing (B). I knew something wasn't right. The fact was that the PRGR was aligned more in line with the (B) path so it of course was giving higher speeds. I proceeded to align it with the (A) path and tested again 5 more swings each. Again (B) was faster but only by 5 miles. (Made a tiny experiment moving the PRGR to a more extreme in to out path and the swings register 25/30% slower for both swings, so it wasn't reading properly at that angle) Finally I moved the PRGR in the middle of both paths, and this time (B) won by 9 miles. Off course, this was without a ball and a target so.. I will be hitting the range tomorrow to see the real difference.

    • At Bent Tree, right? I'm surprised the greens were that slow. I played right around the corner at Northstar and their greens were normal speed. Slightly soft/receptive but not overly so and not slow or shaggy by any means.
