Which of your previous vehicles do you wish you still had? For me it would be my 99 Lightning. Had to get rid of it for a regular truck due to camping/boathauling/dogs. The Lightning could barely tow my mountainbikes!

I got my first car when I was 33 years old. I'm going to enjoy telling that to my kids when they are 16.

Anyway, out of the two I've owned to date, I probably miss the 2001 Saab 9-5 most.

Rofl at the Baja if you guys ever drive one of those and you see a Tundra1500 roar by and the driver laughing hysterically at you --- That'll be me.

I miss my first car a 1992 Red Ford Explorer aptly dubb'd the "Exploder" when I discovered a leaky gas line due to the smell. I lost her in a 40mph head on collision with a Mercury(ewwww..)... It was an elderly lady hopp'd up on Perk's and recovering from hip surgery that ran a red light and caused the accident. I was probably going 15mph she was going 40+ it was a big smash and the front end of my truck broke off. But her car was completely smashed. Had to pull the old lady out as she passed out from impact and await EMT's. I was only a few hundred yards from my house too. Very scary incident.

My first car (of the two I've owned, including the current one) was a Mazda 626 (which I named Stitch, for obvious reasons). What I really miss the most is the oscillating dashboard A/C. Why Mazda stopped that feature, and why no other cars ever seem to have adopted them, I don't know. I think the Mazda 626s have had that feature since the mid-80s, but the new ones today don't have it.

Mine was the Buick Grand National I had in high school. It had been pretty badly maintained before I got my hands on it, but it was a blast to drive. The Knight Rider fan in me love the little "TURBO BOOST" LEDs that lit up green, then orange, then red when you nailed the accelerator.

I drove a friends GN in high shool. It was fun to drive. Not as fun as the Lightning though.

How was the traction in the lightning? I have ran into a few that really had traction issues with a couple mods done to em... I always loved the lightnings, the sound of the supercharger is amazing.

When I graduated from the graduate school in 1990's, I didn't have any money. So my dad gave me 1971 toyota pickup long cab. I always wanted a pickup and when I finally got it. It was the best and the coolest car I've had. Now I drive toyoto FJ Cruiser, which is also great. But I miss that beat up toyota pickup truck. My buddies would just hop on on the back (back then mandatory seat belt law was just getting started in most states) and off we went fishing, biking, (no golf then, I didn't pick up this sadistic game until much later)...

Non existant from a dig and mine was bone stock. Around about 30 you could go wot and it would stick to the road and scream. It was definately a blast.

My first car I miss the most, certainly not because it was the nicest vehicle I've ever owned, but the majority of my best driving memories were made in that POS! And I learned how to drive a 5-speed in it.

Cost me $600 cash, and and about $1600/year for liability insurance.

      By billchao ·

      Angle is not a factor. I hit the ball 100’ high. Par is net birdie. My CH is 16. The rough between the bunkers is like 10’ wide though. That’s not something you’re going to try to hit on purpose. Most of the area to the left of that is fescue/native vegetation and I’m pretty sure there isn’t a flat lie in any of it. It’s the second hole.

      Hello all.  I'm about to be 57 yrs old, started playing when I was 16, and have quit and restarted the game more times than I can count.  I had started playing a weekly round with a friend, and finally made the jump to Senior A shafted Tour Edge clubs.  Instantly gained 10 yds with an easier swing (why didn't I make that jump sooner???).  Glad to be a part of the group. Cheers all,

      I think I like this hole.  It is a clear "Risk-Reward" choice.  Since most of the shots in your cone cleared the bunkers I would say they are a minor risk and not a big issue.  Playing the aggressive line may give you 70ish yards in from what looks to be playable rough while conservative play is 120ish from fairway.  I know you said 70 vs 120 is minor for you but how does the approach angle in impact your results?  I figure both strategies are playing for Birdie since holing out from either is mostly luck. Looking at your proximity hole I think it says @ 50 feet when hitting from the fairway from 100-150 and 40 feet if hitting 50-100 from the rough.  Neither of those is an easy birdie putt.   I like the approach angle from the rough between the bunkers & the adjacent tees over the angle from @ 120 in the fairway but I really do not like the idea of hitting onto the adjacent tee boxes and that may impact my confidence with making the shot.  Also, too far left may be a worse approach angle then from the fairway short of the bunkers. For me this may come down to how confident do I feel when I reach that tee box.  If I am stroking it well off the tee leading up to the hole I would try for over the bunkers and the better angle in but if I am struggling that day I would likely opt for the fairway to take more bad stuff out of play.
