I just need a Broke 90.

While I am not long, I am usually straight with my driver. Late last year I could not make good contact with my driver. I took my old Tour Edge Exotics, and cut 2 inches off the shaft. I was making contact and was hitting straight again. I only lost about 10 yards. Used it for a few months and went back to my Cobra Amp Cell and am hitting it straight now.

In that case you should just call it Closest to the Hole instead of Long Drive.

Like some, using the word golfing does not sound correct and while I won't say it annoys me, I do not care for that usage. With one big exception. When my wife says "Are you golfing this afternoon." It always means she has nothing planned and does not care if I go play 18 holes. So on those days I guess I am golfing. I never correct her, I just say "Yes."

Push cart info and suggestions?
OldDog66 replied to Chris223's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I have owned Bag Boy and Sun Mountain 3 wheeled carts. Both perform very well. I would still be using the Bagboy except I managed to destroy it by backing over it. I also had a 4 wheel Bag Boy, which folded us nice and small but was harder to push. I don't think you can go wrong with the major carts, Bagboy, Sun Mountain and Clicgear. -
Best balls on a tight budget?
OldDog66 replied to ChrisPietersen's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I have been using Titleist Velocity and about 6 weeks found a Pinnacle Gold, played with that and shot my best round of the year with it, so started buying them. I can tell little difference and am now using them regularly. Of course I normally score in the 90's with 10-15 sub 90 rounds a year. -
Beware the golf gods. Once you think you have it figured out the next round eats you up. Having said that, I hope you do have it dialed in.

I must not play with any good golfers because I have never heard a driver sound anywhere near as loud as a gun shot and I have heard plenty of those.

Same with the Dick Durbin US Senate one I found.

I have used both a 4-wheel and a 3 wheel cart and the 3-wheel is much easier to push.

Anyone else been playing forever without a hole in one?
OldDog66 replied to Todd Ruggere's topic in Golf Talk
I had a similar occurrence. I hit one in the sand on a 130 yard Par 3 and said "F it" and hit a 2nd one from the tee. Bounced twice and rolled in. I call it my Freddy Couples hole in one. -
If you don't like them, go in tell them you were fitted for regular but the shop person recommended the Senior flex, you followed his recommendation and it did not work. They may replace them for you. I think the local shop I use would do so. It never hurts to try.

Anyone use an MG cart bag?
OldDog66 replied to Artimas's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
I have used the company and they have always delivered what I ordered, but I have not used their bag. -
Hard Shell Travel Case
OldDog66 replied to cooke119's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
You can put a pretty large bomb in a golf travel bag. -
My wife has health issues so I keep my phone on so I can hear it. If I am playing with other than my regular partners, who all know this, I tell my fellow players and I have yet to have anyone who seemed to care about it.

When I clicked on the link, it went to a thimble collection.

Did anyone buy their putter because it looks cool?
OldDog66 replied to golfingnooob's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I bought a Rife Antigua once on clearance. Had the wimpiest looking grip and I had it changed before I ever played with it. Just too ugly. Used it for 4 years and recently bought a Scotty Select 2 Notchback. Cool looking black head and feels smooth. Probably no better putting with it but DW got diamond earrings for our 40th so I got a new driver and putter. -
I'm an old guy too, 62. When I read your were heavy 168, I thought jeeze I must really be heavy at 235. Then I see I am 9 inches taller. At any rate, you can always benefit from getting fitted, I suspect at 5'3" you could certainly do with having shorter shafts.

Very quick glove question!
OldDog66 replied to Surge's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
The hand you will wear it on.
