Only once in 3 years.

Well, we had a course with a grass range, but the course closed it. There's another one, but the traffic to get there can be a real mess. It may be different on the north side of Seattle. I don't know, but that's a 65 mile drive each way, so there's not much of a choice within reasonable driving distances. Country club membership is not in the budget unless I win Powerball tonight.

So, you're a newbie.  I listen to Michael Medved a lot and he talks about the traffic mess in Seattle from time to time.  That's where he's based.

I guess I'm lucky to have a real nice practice facility near my house.  They have mats but only use them when they want to give the range a break.  They take good care of the range (fill divots with fertilized sand, keep it smooth). 

Plus I have an exec course almost with walking distance where I can practice chipping and putting.  I don't play execs.  Plus the course I usually play is under 45 minutes and has a nice practice facility.  Only grass on the range, but it can get pretty bumpy.

    • This is pretty much how I look at it.  I understand there are times when the piece of mind has value. I think over the long haul I'm money ahead by never buying the extended warrantee. Hell, What do I know? I went to Ch!cago PubIic SchooIs.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
