Thanks  for  welcome  to  site  

Hoping  for  lots  of  fun  and  maybe  even  figure  out  a way  to  change  index  lower  than  95.

Need  to  find  time  once  a week  to  chase  that  back down  to  80 somehow .

Good to keep busy after retirement and you can sink a ton of time in golf.

Welcome.

Sometimes  I  think  I I'll  go back  to  work  so  I  can  take  it  easy  

Bought  a  fixer upper  house  and  I'm  no Bob Villa.  I'm  nothing  I f  not  persistent  though, so  if  I  last  I'll  get  r done.  

Any  of you folks  that  happen through  Hattiesburg  MS  wanting  a round ,  I'd  be  glad  to  play .   Not a club member  so I  just  do the  public  tracks  locally . They're  usually  not  too busy  except  weekends.

Thanks  for  welcome  to  TST y'all .

All this Roll Tide stuff is making me uncomfortable.

Do we have a safe word?

Ha!  Man, I'm glad we at least have golf in common.  Who's your college team?  Buckeyes?  If so, I think you guys may be the team to beat for the title.  I've got a curious eye on Washington, too.  There are some seriously good teams in the top 7-8 this year.

Sorry for going off-topic on the OP.  Index95...shoot me a note if you're ever going to be in T-Town and want to play a round.

You both put Roll Tide in there, so it's not entirely off topic.

My team is Ohio State, except when they play my alma matter Bowling Green (that Week One game was terrible). OSU's got a bit of work to do with the passing game and they'll need it against the Badgers tomorrow night. That's as far as I care to look for the time being. 

If either you or @Index95, ever find yourself in the Dayton, OH area, you do the same.

    • I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills. 
    • You are probably doing the right thing in having more fairway woods or hybrids in your bag than irons. Just easier to maximize ball speed for you swing speed to get the proper gaps.  A driver is teed up, so you have more leeway there. The 7-wood is probably more optimized for carry for you. A slower swing speed needs higher launch and spin to keep the ball in the air. With the 3-wood, it probably launches too low with not enough spin to keep it in the air.  If you are not going to go get lessons, or do some sort of swing speed training, go get fitted for clubs. Clearly your mix-match of equipment is not optimized. 
    • 32 putts are average for a single digit handicap golfer. Limiting three putting is the biggest task. Speed control is the most important aspect of putting. Probably the 2nd most important is aim.  The putter is going to rotate open a bit on the backstroke. It might stay square to the arc of the putting stroke, but that does mean the face opens up a bit on the backstroke when measured against where the face is oriented at address. Go get a putter lesson as well.
    • Keep us up to date with your findings, please.  I'm not looking for a putter, but I'm sure you're not alone in your venture to get the putts rolling better.
