I too had a spinal tumor removed which was located from S3 all the way up to L4-L5. The tumor had caused a tethered spinal cord which had me to the point that I couldn't even walk and had lost use of bladder and bowels due to the pressure on the nerves. Cleveland Clinic, Duke University, and several other hospitals said there was nothing they would attempt to do because of such a high risk of paralysis, however the Cleveland Clinic referred me to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore and Dr. George Jallo....., the dude gave me back my life. I am fairly limited in range of movement and have some issues with strength but thank the good Lord I am able to do most of want I want to do. It may look bleak but with the right doctors and the help of the Lord it could be just a bump in the road. God Bless!!! Ray

This is exactly how I cured my slice. I was a chronic "rare back and hit it hard as possible buy". I started using this method and used a lighter grip along with a slower swing. All this combined together allowed me to stop coming over the top, have a slightly inside out swing, and make better contact nearly all time. VOILA!!!...., the slice was gone, my drives went exceptionally longer and straighter, and I basically eliminated the the right side of the fairway. Happy - Happy - Happy!!! God Bless!!! Ray

The group I play with all the time are all "hard-core" by the rules guys. We just play for fun but we call it the "JUNK TOUR", everyone is honest and we all go by the rules to the best of our knowledge and ability. What would this great game be without the rules....., just another game. However, the other day one of our regular guys brought along his brother-in-law and we caught him moving his ball from an impossible lie, mysteriously finding his ball in bounds with his mark on it a few seconds before I found his ball out of bounds with his mark on it and he had the nerve to say someone must use the same mark, (this was his first time at our home course). Needless to say all the guys gave him such a hard time I don't expect him back. God Bless!!! Ray

Looking to trade for a Cleveland Niblick in 42, 47, or 56 degrees. I have several clubs to trade for including a Taylormade R9 SuperTri TP, Taylormade R7, Nickent 7DX 5 & 3 fairway woods. Let me know if you have one. God Bless!!! Ray

For Trade: I have a Taylormade R9 SuperTri 11.5 degree loft driver with a Diamani TP Stiff Shaft. This driver is not in perfect condition as the pictures show, but it is not beat to death either. Very good driver with a good shaft. For Trade: I have another driver, a Taylormade R7 Quad with the stock Taylormade shaft in a Regular flex. This driver is not in perfect condition either but is still not beaten up either. Both drivers are in good playable condition, neither includes the original headcover , (just a plain black one). I am willing to trade either or both to another club, I am mainly looking for items below but will consider any offer. Looking for: A good RH putter...., Nike, Titleist, or basically any other good putter. A Tour Edge Exotics or comparable 3,5,7 Fairway wood/metal. Basically any 11,13, 15, 17, 19, 21 Fairway wood/metal, (trying to find these for my granson). Let me know what you've got..., any and all offers will be considered..., just looking to move some clubs I don't use anymore. God Bless!!! Ray

Agreed...., H. Upmann makes some very good sticks...., a bit on the pricey side but just like anything else, you get what you pay for. God Bless!!! Ray

I find all the "strange" mannerisms that Keegan has to be interesting and kind of entertaining, He seems like a great guy too me in all the interviews and by all the statements made about him from other players, they all seem to like him. His pre-shot ritual was a lot longer and he kinda tightened it up a bit from what he was a couple of years ago. I've had OCD tendencies all my life, some really don't make sense to other people but in fairness some of the things we all do don't make a lot of sense to other people. Go Keegan!!! God Bless!!! Ray

I really like the Bridgestone B330's, but I would have to say that I like all of the "higher" quality balls and even some of the cheaper balls like the Wislon DUO...., which is a really good ball in my opinion. God Bless!!! Ray

It was an uncomfortable round last weekend...........
Rewster66 replied to BuckeyeNut's topic in Golf Talk
I wholeheartedly agree!!! I "volunteer" one day a week as a ranger at a local course in exchange for free golf, (all I can play), and the policy is politely but strictly enforced to not allow slow players to hold up other golfers. They will be asked to pick up the pace or let others play through to keep things moving at a decent pace. God Bless!!! Ray -
I hereby pledge to create another golfer, (My son and I introduced one of his fellow employees to the game and I gave him my used set of Taylormade Burners along with a Cleveland Monster driver, a couple of cleveland hybrids and a Taylormade Nubbins putter). God Bless!!! Ray

I have a large group of buddies that usually all play at the same time, so we often play 2-3-4 man scrambles. It took me a while until I realized I wasn't seeing much improvement because I'm normally longer than nearly all of my playing partners and would normally hit last, this would cause me to "go for it", The end results were that my personal game just could not improve because I was never looking to make the "smart" play. When instead of scrambling we would play heads up and keep individual scores I started realizing I had nearly zero "course management" skills and my score would suffer mightily for it. I came to a decision to start playing the higher percentage shots that I knew I had a higher probability of pulling off and nearly immediately my scores starting improving at a very please rate. I know that I am not very smart, but I have figured out - (at least for myself) - ""TRYING TO BE A HERO WON'T GET YOU CLOSER TO ZERO""!!! God Bless!!! Ray

My P ing i20 driver and my Ben Hogan 60 degree Sure-Out Wedge , don't want to find out what it is like to live without either. God Bless!!! Ray

My buddy and I were golfing and he hooked one of his tee shots onto the tee-box on the next hole. I yelled "FORE" as loud as I could and the guys on the tee-box covered up except for one and the ball struck him right above the left ear, needless to say he hit the ground like a ton of bricks. Upon seeing this we called 911 and the Pro Shop and the ambulance came and picked him up and rushed him to the hospital. To make a long story a little shorter, we ran into the man about a year and half later at the same course and he walks up to my buddy and extends his hand and says to my buddy - "I want to thank you for hitting me with that golf ball". Needless to say, my buddy and me looked at each other thinking he was joking or being sarcastic, but then he said - "When they done an MRI on me they found a brain tumor that I had no clue that I had so you basically saved my life by hitting me with that golf ball". This is an honest to God true story! God Bless!!! Ray

Experimenting with the "Baseball" Grip
Rewster66 replied to stogiesnbogies's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I've never had instruction other than "pointers" from my golfing buddies, and everyone of them make fun of me for using the "Ten Finger Grip". I have rather large hands (barely squeeze into a 2X glove), and it feels much more comfortable to me. My drives got longer and straighter and it helped a great deal with my chip shots. As for now I am sticking with it. God Bless!!! Ray -
Really like these too, but far and away may favorite stick of all time is Man-O-War Puro Authentico Maduro. God Bless!!! Ray

Shot an 80 today at Stonecrest which is a par 72 course outside of Prestonburg KY. Hit all the fairways except two, one of them was in the rough the other out of bounds. If I hadn't 3 putted several times I would have broken into the 70's for the second time in my brief golfing career. Super happy with my i20 driver right now and my iron play has been better lately than it ever has but I'm missing a lot of 7-8 feet putts, however it seems I can't miss from 4-5 feet in. God Bless!!! Ray

Golf has been the best medicine I could ever hope for. I've had 3 back surgeries due to a tethered spinal cord and spinal tumor, and golf has me moving. The first several times I thought I would never be able to do it because I could barely walk and the pain I was in after a few holes wouldn't allow me to continue. I kept on trying and noticed my mobility was getting a little better all the time. Now if I could do something with these bum knees...., lol God Bless!!! Ray

Thank you very much Mr. Licious God Bless!!! Ray
