I've always battled with keeping my rain pants (also great for cold weather) in my golf bag. Even folded they're pretty bulky so I'd take them out. Then of course when it does rain while you're playing, you forget to put them back in your bag.

I came up with this idea the other day. My wife has one of those small vacuum seal machines for use on food bags. You basically take a 1 gallon bag that has a vacuum port on it and use the machine to suck out all the air. Great for storing food for long periods.

So I took my pants and stuff them into a bag. I think used the vacuum machine and it shrunk it down to about the size of an inch. Worked really well. Now the pants fit nicely into my golf bag. If I ever need them I just unzip the bag. Works great!

Mid way throuhg your post I was going to suggest that. They work great at minimizing the amount of space needed for something. I keep an extra pair of socks, shirt, and FootJoy short sleve rain wind breaker in my bag.

Thats a pretty good idea, I personally always keep my pants and extra rain gear in the trunk of my car and only pull them out when rain is in the forcast but i tip my hat to you for thinking outside the box

Who needs rain gear. Can't get any more wet that soaking. I say get some rain gloves and have at it.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

That may work in Texas but I promise you, 50* and playing the rain in Michigan sucks!!!!! I'll do anything I can to stay dry.

In SoCal, when there is rain coming NEXT WEEK it's all over the news so we have plenty of time to prepare. In TX, that rain randomly come down in the middle of summer and it's still HOT out. lol

Yea, just keep a towel and a change of clothes in your car. Should be good to go.

      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
