Hi,
I just found this site a few days ago and am hoping it turns out to be a helpful and fun place to visit. I live in the high country of Arizona (Prescott) so am not playing much right now but we have a pretty long season and beautiful summers - so if any of you travel to play you might consider this area. I'm a weekend duffer and enjoy all the new equipment reviews - especially the ones provided by the end users. Hope to make some new friends here........Mike

No I haven't been to Crown King. Don't do much 4 wheeling anymore. If you do happen to get in the area look me up and maybe we'll go whack a few balls, although it looks like you may be a better whacker than I am. Actually we're a little over 5000 ft so I guess that would account for my occassional 300 yd drive.

Mike I am also a duffer with a 9 hdcp after beating on balls for 70 years. I was a member on a national championship team in the Netherlands in 1964 before the computer was invented. I enjoy people trying to beat up on a 74 year old man and trying to releave me of my savings. I am willing to play you straight up. Just tell me how much you want to win. In the mean time I am trying to revolutionize the game of golf by making the game easier, more exciting, lowering scores and improving the pace of play. Sounds like a pie in the sky. What I do is provide the correct aim line to the hole on each of the greens. As i get more familiar with the Internet and these forums I hope to share more about my ideas and look forward to meeting people who might be interested in improving the player development and retention of golf.

      Where Is Your Next Golf Trip Going to Be?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
