  2. DO NOT apply any seed until at least 2 and I strongly suggest 3 weeks after you spray RoundUp. The pesticide label will tell you this. RoundUp is in the soil and won't break down for 2-3 weeks and can kill any seed you put down afterward. Putting lime down actually raises the pH level. This will knock back the moss, but I would suggest getting a soil test done. You don't want to put too much down. Assuming you don't have a pH level that is way low, you might need 20-40 pounds of lime per 1,000 square feet just to raise the pH level half a point (6.5 to 7.0). What part of the country do you live in OP? What kind of grass do you have right now? If you have a bunch of bare spots, seeding even after aerating might not be enough. You will want to put 1/4 inch of topsoil on top of the bare spots. Don't water as needed. The first day you seed, the seed needs 20-30 minutes of sprinkling. Then just keep the soil moist for 2-3 weeks. 5 minutes of watering or so per day or as needed if there is no rain is recommended.
  3. Has a Tour player ever been suspended for illegal drug use?
  4. I highly highly doubt there are people who could have made it on Tour who didn't. The cream rises to the top. Most anyone who thinks otherwise doesn't realize how hard it is to get on Tour.
  5. Maybe so, but he sure went out of his way to bash Tiger.
  6. Thinking about joining. How does the Yahoo league stack up against the Golf Channel one?
  7. Driver: 280 4 Wood: 240 3 Hybrid: 225 4 Iron: 205 5 Iron: 190 6 Iron: 170 7 Iron: 155 8 Iron: 140 9 Iron: 130 PW: 115 54*: 90 58*: 60 I have really good clubhead speed with the driver (105 MPH+), but I have never been able to hit my short irons anywhere. That isn't really a problem as long as I know how far they go, but lately they are even going shorter than ever. Can't figure it out.
  8. When will manufacturers make irons that are tuneable like drivers and fairway woods are? Would tuneability even be necessary in irons?
  9. The person on the driving range whose divots fly so far to the right or the left that that hit you in the next bay over
  10. I hit my irons pretty straight. They are old Hogan Apex Edge forged irons. However, I hit my driver and fairway woods with a huge hook somehow. I have been using an Adams ST driver (10.5 degree loft, R flex) for the last two years. I can hit it between 260-290 yards consistently. I just can’t seem to hit many drivers straight except this one, but on miss hits the steel tip on the driver just kills my distance. I have to have regular flex too even though my swing speed is 105 MPH. With a stiff flex I can’t seem to get any air under the ball and can’t shape my drives. I have been using a Ping i15 5 wood for the last few months because supposedly it is fade biased, but I hook that thing terribly too. Same with the i15 hybrid (20 degree loft) So my question is what driver/fairway wood/hybrid would be best for me since I hook my woods so much? I seem to hit the Adams driver with less hook, maybe because the face is square. I’m not sure if the face being square is just a mental thing for me, but it works with the Adams.
