The last ten years have been very up and down for me and my game of golf.  Through various injuries, illnesses and divorce I have quit playing the game over the past ten years three time.  Each time I believed that was it that was the end of my experience with golf.  Yet here I am just a few days away from placing my feet on that first tee and taking a journey out into that green to take on the joy and sorrow that may await me.  Two years one time,   One and a half years another time, One year this time I quit in the last ten years but never really walked away.  Each time friends and co-workers would ask when and I would say I don't think so.  Yet after all those kind inquiries and invitations that I have politilety turned down there would always come one that created in my a mad dash to retool and once again journey out into the links.  I don't know how long I'll play but if I am to play the days are running by faster than ever.  The chances of being out there among friends sharing stories and laughter will run their course all too soon.  The belief that walking on the first tee that I might break 80 this day is probably more of a dream that reality.  Still with golf we can hit that one one two shots that matches the best of them and there is no else where that can occur for me at this time of life.  So here I go.  I journey again to find my way and myself somewhere between the 12th and 13th hole where I once again began that grand illusion, a golfer.

Welcome back @mwheelerk !


Thank you.  Hoping it is this weekend.  I'm still waiting on the Callaway set to come in.  I've been hitting balls and putting and chipping with what I have in hand.

      Water in Bunker

      By iacas ·

      Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.

      2024 TST Birdie Challenge

      By TourSpoon ·

      I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year!

      Water in Bunker

      By anaveragehacker ·

      Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water?

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas ·

      Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
