I got my first ever hole-in-one today on the third hole at Twin Bridges Golf Club in Gadsden, Alabama. 171 yards into a little bit of wind coming off of a lake. Hit a perfect little knock down 5 iron onto the front of the green and it rolled right in. Never left the flag. Best shot I hit all day (obviously) and my round went downhill pretty much after that.
First eagle as well.

Thanks. It's kind of funny because I had just talked about not ever having an eagle/hole-in-one in here and then... bam! I've gotta go find a poll about shooting in the seventies and/or under par. :p

It was kind of anti-climactic in the clubhouse. The only two people there were a couple of teenagers that work at the course and the bar was closed. Did save me some money though.

The cheapest hole-in-one ever. :D Always the easiest to handle afterward... Though there is something to be said about celebrating with a huge rowdy group :P

Nice shot. I would have just been happy with my first eagle as well. A birdie is hard enough to come by for me however I have had more birdies this year than all other years combined

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Good advice. In general, you want to take whatever weight you are lifting to a couple of reps before failure, for muscle growth. There are other tactics for PT related stuff. I would trust your PT person.  For muscle growth, you can go like 30 reps to failure. It is tougher to gauge. Also, it takes 2x as long to do the same number of working sets per week if you are doing 15 instead. It is way less efficient, but your case is special because of the injury/aggravation to the hip.

      Ever Get Paired up With a Twosome Including a 2 Year Old?

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Several years ago I got paired with a twosome of golfers, one of which had a maybe 5-year-old son with him. The kid had a putter and a 7i with him, and on some holes he would drop a ball near the green, chip on, and putt. If the kid started to get distracted, the dad would ask, "Do you need to rest?" The kid would nod yes, and then take his dad's seat riding in the cart for a couple of holes. It was a slow day, and the kid was polite and friendly. We got through 18 just fine. (If it had been a crowded course day, I'm sure it would have been less pleasant.)

      Minimum Exercise for Strength and Muscle Growth

      By WUTiger · Posted

      Caution for the seniors on weight training: Listen to your body. (I'm 75) I got a recent session with an orthopedist after a training-related injury. I put too much weight on a new resistance machine at the gym and ended up with bursitis in my left hip. Of course, it's the hip I dislocated back in 2023. I have my first physical therapy session tomorrow. I remarked that some days I can do 45 lbs. chest press - two sets - without much effort. But other days it drops down to 30 (😩) with just one set. (Complicating factor: I had digestive problems in this fall and lost about 20 lbs., with slip in muscle tone.) Orthopedist said that I want to feel some resistence, but that I should go with lots of reps with manageable weights rather than trying to set some sort of lift-pound record. I'm sure I'll get some refinements on lifting during tomorrow's PT.
