you can play organized baseball after high school. My dad plays in leagues every year for softball and baseball, well he use to. They were setup by bars or something

Not quite as competitive as high school baseball though. Those are probably the equivalent of beer league hockey.

h.s golf is in the fall, not the spring. Im not sure when highschool baseball season is though. If its spring you are good to play golf too, which is fall.

Not in New Jersey, they're both spring sports.

Waiting out the 2 feet of snow that just dropped on the course....

We always got warmup balls though, so I never had to go out cold. I thought they came with the tournament, but maybe our school payed for them :/

Great school to PAY for warmup balls but maybe their english teachers weren't PAID enough.

Just breaking balls here. Dont get offended

In the summer of 1993 I took up golf. I played as the #6 guy on our team most of the year and we won the ECL championship (Erie County League).

In 1994 I was the #3 guy most of the year. In 1995 I was the #1 guy, and I won the EDGA Junior Stroke Play . I qualified as first alternate to states.

We were undefeated in 1994, and we lost our last match in 1995. I remember getting reamed out but we'd already clinched the ECL and none of us cared. We totally goofed off the entire match.




My high school won ECL two years after I left too, for five in a row. Three had never been done, and hasn't been done since, so five is still way ahead.

I played on the varsity team for two full seasons plus a few matches my sophomore year. I think my mom clipped out most (if not all) of the local paper articles that I was mentioned in. I have some of them from the internet, too. My picture never made it in though. I'm not really photogenic. Or good looking . A picture of my downswing was in the golf section of the yearbook though. If anyone wants I can post a few links to the articles.

As for the team, when I was a junior we were 2nd in state sectionals and 3rd in states, and as a senior we were 2nd in sectionals and 8th in states. I forget what out regular season league rankings were though.

Oh, and they got my name wrong a bunch of times, too.

Did they spell your name two different ways only nine words apart like in mine? I was friends with Sarah, too.

I can't say it was nine words apart, but I can assure my name was butchered plenty.

All of the articles with my name were written by either one of my friends or a teacher that I had in middle school, too, so you'd think they would know how to spell it (or at least check Facebook ). That didn't hold them back from messing up the "i"s, "e"s, and "s"s.

    • Since 99% of my tv watching is YouTube videos so is my golf watching. Seems to be mostly British stuff. 
    • When I got to Florida this season (seasons instead of years since the years overlap) one of the guys asked what I had done, said I was about twenty yards longer with my driver. Said that I had a different driver which was true but looking back it’s really the shaft that’s been the difference. It’s similar in principle to the Autoflex in that it’s light weight and also light flex. Since most of my clubs are bought used I have difficulty finding senior shafts most of the time and being old and slow that’s what I need. Bought the Callaway driver, for several years I preferred Ping drivers, because they only had a couple of used drivers with senior shafts in my price range and it’s been probably the best I’ve had. Longer and very forgiving, decent distance even on my mishits and almost always in play. Keep in mind that my swing speed is probably under 70mph. 
    • Day 17 - First round of the year. It took me about 6 holes to remember how to hit off grass. Short game was lacking, but the round could’ve been much worse. It’s nice that my new “bad” is my old “good.”
    • Yes this was what I was thinking you have two golfers same 5 HC same swing speed 110Mph ...one you changed the driver head to a 10yr old model head but the same loft etc the other you changed shaft ...now if its just 10yr old shaft of the same flex weight etc it would be more so the newer head IMHO ..but if the shaft was changed to softer flex lighter than player was use to then the shaft would be the winner IMHO
    • Interesting as I only recently upgraded my Callaway EPIC Flash driver head 9.5 with a Paradym 10.5 which come with a decent Diamana 60 stiff shaft ... year ago I was playing around with shafts and settled on Ventus black X6 .. I tried out both shafts in my new driver head and even tried out Diamana in my older driver head and no way did it work for me ... I also recently after having issues with my Mizuno. MP20 nippon 105 S irons I purchased new JPX923t with heavier shaft DG 120 S I was told by PGA coach the shaft would suit my swing far better and he wasn't wrong so for me shafts matter alot more so than even heads but the difference in the heads for my clubs wasn't massive
