He also threw me his golf ball after sinking a birdie putt on the 18th green of some tournament in Tahoe (or somewhere local) when I was like 8 years old.  If that doesn't qualify a guy, then I just throw my hands up at this whole process!

Sorry I didn't get the "tone" right to your satisfaction.

Chi Chi really helped grow the game. There was a PGA tournament in my neighborhood when I was growing up and Chi Chi was always one of the most popular players, especially with the kids. He was also one of the first guys to run junior clinics at a local club or range at tthe tour stops. Classy guy and well deserving of the golf HOF.

    • Both @DaveP043 and I play in our interclub matches every year, and have been team Captains as well.  There are always a few courses, mine is one, that win a lot of matches (we've won twice in the last 7 years), and we've been labeled as sandbaggers.  However, I really think that our course was rated too low (our greens just never seemed to get factored in enough), and thus our Handicaps were always a stroke or maybe 2 above, what they would've been if the course was rated higher.  And then when we went and played other courses, their slope and rating were much higher than ours, and sometimes I would get a 2 or 3 stroke bump on top of that.  It was definitely an advantage.  However, this past year, our course was rated again and the slope has gone up, so we'll see if we continue to have the same benefit.  Season starts this Sunday for us.

    • I would not do anything until I met with an instructor and got your swing looked at. There are some obvious better club options out there though. Spend 50 bucks on a lesson, practice and start piecing together a bag that works for you. Enjoy the journey.
