After some more-consistent-than-usual play this spring/summer/fall, my handicap index has finally dropped below -3. Thanks to a round of 74 that included an eagle 2 on a 284 yard par 4 this weekend, my index now reads a beautiful -2.8! Just a few more tenths and I can play in a US Amateur Qualifier.

Just curious at your level of play, if a S driver shaft might give you more everything off the tee. Great going.

I'll let gas_can explain the benefits of my shaft b/c I'm not 100% sure, but even though its an R shaft, I believe its tipped a little stiff - for what reason, I'm not sure - it's what my pro recommended for me though. My swing speed is only about 94 with my driver.

I am sort of Sub-3, as in I no longer hit triple digit scores, but I guess that is a bit different :)

Anyway, grats to a fellow Virginia resident and let us know when it is in the plus range! Keep up the good work.

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
