Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Wow, so many to choose from

Red wine, and I think Italian reds are accessible, reasonably priced, and good with food

Beer, or more properly, Ale.  I like pale ales and IPAs, but I think the hop thing is beginning to be overdone.  My home club keeps Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap, and that's just fine with me.

In hot weather, Tanqueray gin, Schweppes Tonic, and lime.

Single malt whisky, my favorite is Caol Ila, a gently peaty Islay malt.  Nothing wrong with good bourbon whiskey either.

I'm not a gin guy but I concur. 

Go to is usually a single malt Scotch. I like variety so can be peaty and salty or smooth. Glenlivet 12 is an excellent average Scotch (if that makes sense) for the price. I always have a bottle of 18 year old something or other though (currently Glenmorangie) and usually a bottle of Islay (currently Laphroaig) for when want something different. If mixing then J&B Scotch and club soda. That was my go to drink forever, it's nicely light and crisp. Usually like a porter or stout during the cooler months. I agree that the hop thing is going overboard. During summer it's hard to beat a margarita on the rocks when playing in the pool.

Lagavulin 16 year single malt on the rocks (sorry purists).  For an occasional bourbon Manhattan I prefer Four Roses Single Barrel.

Pikesville Straight Rye Whiskey neat, if I can find it.. 110 proof. Excellent.

Famous Grouse Scotch Whisky is a good affordable blend. 

Most craft-brewed IPA's. 

Not above having a Bud Light or a Coors Light on a hot day

I *do not* drink wine or champagne

I had a Scottish friend, and the Famous Grouse (The low flyer as he and his mates often referred to it) was his every-day favorite whisky, for good reason.

I came to Caol Ila through Talisker.  One of the great things about visiting Scotland is the vast knowledge of many of the barmen there.  Looking for a gently peated single malt, I had tried Talisker one evening, and liked it.  On a subsequent evening, I mentioned that to a different barman, and asked if there was something with just a bit less peat, he recommended Caol Ila, and now I'm hooked.  Another slightly peaty malt that I like as well is Ardbeg , which I was told was very big with the German visitors.

Unfiltered Ardbeg is a personal favourite.

Michelob Ultra since going low carb. Norcal margarita.

And for the eggnog for the season. You have to try Evan Williams Eggnog. Just the right amount of sweet and alcohol.

Either Bourbon or some sort of Bourbon cocktail like a Manhatten.

    • 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.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
