Hello from a snowy Michigan! Time to get the skis out, and TRY to enjoy winter. I'm Tony, age 44, 6' 4" and 160lbs. Married for 18 years, 2 kids and a dog. It's the 2 kids that kind of took me out of golf for 11 years, which I have no regrets, by the way. Up till this Spring, I would tell people I did not like golf anymore, but a client of mine made it obvious that he wanted me to golf with him. He's also one of my best friends, so with my wife's encouragement, I got a family membership at the Macatawa Legends. I figured it was the only way I was going to get my game back, and would offer a chance to play with my son and wife. My daughter wants nothing to do with golf. 11 years ago I was about a 3 HC and played with a variety of pure blades. I had 6 sets that I built / bought and re-shafted (Haig ultra, etc...), and when I stopped playing I was playing a set of Titleist 990's, which I am using again. EVERYONE said I needed to get some "modern" cavity backs, which I tried some X20's, Cobra's, etc... and I hated them all because there was no feel to anything, so I played my 990's for the last month of the summer and I love them. My friend gave me a Nicket 4 wood and a brand new Big Bertha driver. I re-shafted the Nicket with a stiff shaft and when I swung very diligently, the Nicket was a joy to use, but I recently put that thing away for good. The BB driver had a regular shaft and felt like I was swinging a fishing pole, so after some research, I decided to remove the shaft.... bad Idea, but I'll start another thread on that topic later. I'm here because I like doing things myself, and I don't like following what the marketing folks at major brands tell us we should be doing. Thanks for having me. Tony
