For me, routine is everything. I need to do things the same way, all the time. That said, after my shot, I wipe the club and put the cover back on.

A few weeks ago I bought a pair of winter golf gloves. However, with all the warm weather we've been having in Central Virginia, I have not used them so far.

I recently purchased a pair of winter gloves. For some reason I could not find the pair I bought a few years ago, and it is getting cold!

It was great, thank you. Tobacco Road was a real ass kicker for me! LOL. I do like Talamore, a lot. Keep your eyes open between 12 and 13, I think, for the paddock that holds the lamas! The Cradle was much more difficult than I had anticipated. Have fun!

Getting excited. In 83 days we leave for our 'golf buddies' trip to Pinehurst, NC. This year we are playing Talamore Golf Club, Longleaf Golf & Country Club, Hyland Golf Club, and Tobacco Road. I am sure we will play Pinehurst 3 or 4 as well.

Too much golf? What is this silliness?

I never really considered myself a hoarder, but recently my wife pointed out just how much space my 'necessary', but never used, golf equipment was taking up. Guilty as charged. I find it rather difficult to give up some of my old 'treasures', but practicality tells me to do so. Plus if I do sell off some of my old treasures, I can buy new treasures. LOL

I just got back from a golf buddy trip to Pinehurst. One of the best times of my life! Played 5 coursed in 4 days. We are thinking to make this an annual event for us.

Replacement soft spikes for my shoes

I agree that a dress code is a good thing. For me, part of the enjoyment of golf is the ambiance. I cannot see the issue with wearing a collard shirt, to jeans, etc. I do tend to take a lot of kidding from my regular golf partners on how I dress on the course, but I would get kidding no matter what from that crew!

For the first time EVER, I broke 80! So stoked.

Why do you golf? What is it about golf that keeps you coming back? One of my regular golf partners is a psychiatrist. After a really bad shot off the tee I made, I said I need to make an appointment with you to find out why I seem to like torturing myself... After his less than stellar shot off the tee, he turned to me and said 'Like I would know'..... LOL

Several years ago I bought some used clubs from my golf pro. Over the years I have been replacing my 'used' clubs with new, fitted ones. Today I went to a fitting at Dicks for a new Driver. I went in with two models in mind. The guy watched me fumble around for a while and then suggested a club I had not considered... AND IT WORKED! Mostly highly recommend going to a pro for a fitting; it is their job to fit you with a club that matches your game. I came away with a Callaway Epic Flash. It was a floor demo, so I got it at a good price as well.

How's the mirror working for you?

In April of 2019 I had my first EVER club fitting. For my birthday my wife bought me a set of irons, fitted my by golf pro. It made a world of difference; If I had been fitted years ago, I would be much better along. Anyway, at the time, she said (my wife), you need to golf more, Who was I to argue? LOL. Since that time I have attempted to buy a driver and fairway "off the rack"... massive mistake. My fairway needed replacing, so I wen to my local Pro and asked her what she thought. She knows me and my swing. She handed me three fairways. A good buddy of mine said I should try X brand, so I a had added to my group. Guess what? My Pro knew more about me than my buddy. I hit all four many times at practice, and yes, I am not perfect, I did choose one of the ones my Pro thought would work best for me. I will not ever buy a club again without trying it out first again. f

The way I see it is,whatever your buddy does is OK. I have a tight group of friends, and we really enjoy each other's company. If someone does the odd kick to the fairway from the rough, no on cares. If someone calls a Mulligan, no one cares. We are just not in competition to each other. We do not play for money, we do not really compare scores (though we do share our scores and congratulate each other). We all just love golf for golf's sake... Just my opinion.

For me it was when I was bragging to my buddies about how great my last round was, all due to my new clubs. I swagger up the the first tee..... and top it.....<sigh>

I have been playing bridgestone e12 soft. I find that I do better with a softer ball, and do keep trying other soft balls.

Yeah, 10 to 20 minutes for me as well. Starting with my wedges and working up to my driver, to loosen up and stretch the muscles. If I have time I will spend a few minutes on the putting green.

My current handicap is 14.4. My 2020 goal is to reach 12. I would like to go single digit , but need to remain realistic. To achieve that I will need to play more than once a week.

Today I replaced my Evil Club of Hate. I went to my local pro shop and tried out 4 different fairways. Looking forward to my next round.

Sorry I offended you iacas. I will stop

I played a around today. I decided to give my 'Evil club of hate' a try. It was going really well. She/He/It was playing nice with me.... UNTIL it came down to a point where I might break a personal record..... You fool, you fool, you silly fool..... SHOULD have known better...
