I used to look forward to this tournament (1980's-mid 1990"s) every year. It used to draw a great field. Now I watch this "Humana Challenge" and it just is not the same. I am assuming that once Bob passed away, the tournament lost some of it's luster? I know the tour guys shoot some very low scores there but it looks like they are fun courses to play in a great environment. Maybe it's the Pro-Am aspect of it?

My bag:

Taylor Made R7 (x-stiff).
Taylor Made Burner 2 irons (stiff)
Cleveland Wedges (gap and 60)
Odyssey two ball putter (white)

Not the greatest courses, slow rounds, celebrities… Meh. Some like it. Most don't.

I played here in September, and I didn't play that great so the highlight of my round was probably on this hole.  @tristanhilton85 can attest to this ... after we finished the hole I jumped down in there with two balls - right about where the 11 is on that ruler in the picture - and had got them both out and onto the green within 15-20 feet of the front left pin of that day. :-P

this year - had to watch on mute - one of the announcers had a nasal whistle that was there during 'silent' moments - all 4 rounds - anyone else notice?

Rahm is a contender for sure

Good weekend - Rory is back.  Sergio had a coast in Singapore.  Announcers keep pronouncing the 'z' in Spanish names with an annoying lisp.  SHTAAHHHP

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 9, May 13.  After work, I went to my practice room for a dozen balls (two sessions of a half dozen each).  I may do more later, but I wanted to make sure I posted here too.  Same priority as yesterday, with the arms lifting.

      Too Old ?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Hi @RetiredOldMan!  I am glad to see you are still playing and having good scores.  I hope that when I am 79, I am not only able to play, but still able to produce as good scores as you have been doing.   I look forward to hearing more of your success and your opinion of the senior flex shafts.

      Too Old ?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      Hello Golfing Buddies, It has been awhile since I posted but I am the Retired Old Man that asked for advice because I suffered two "T.I.A.'s about switching from playing right handed to playing left handed.  I purchased a Callaway Edge Left handed golf clubs. I changed the grips to oversize grips.  Well, two weeks ago and still at 79 years old, I shot a 44 and 47 on a small course in my hometown.  I am currently changing my shafts from regular flex to Senior flex.  So, you can see' it can be done! So, you other old timers; get with the program! Blessings to all of you. Retired Old Man (Terry Warner)
