  1. Welcome to the club! I have played Mizuno for the last 15 years. I just like the feel. I had rotator cuff surgery in January. I had PT for 4 months.I played once this year in August. I lost 15 yards because of the surgery. I realized I can't swing the stiff anymore. At 60 I should go to a senior shaft. I haven't decided if I'm going to reshaft or buy new. I pretty sure I'll stick with Mizuno.
  2. Yea I never got the tabletop. She looked so uncomfortable. I get when you are trying to improve you'll try some wierd stuff, but she looked awkward and off balance. She was better off picking her line, walking up to the ball and in under 3 seconds stroking it. Glad to see she looks more comfortable now. The LPGA needs her back on top.
  3. Shotmakers, I have launched Episode 7 of "Let Me See What Happens If I.." This is a discussion on how you approach and achieve. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUunm_ai0JhOASjdRNHT7RQ
  4. Sounds like you guys just continue what we talk about on the course. It's what makes playing golf with strangers fun-comraderie. Welcome.
  5. I like the scramble format because of the comraderie in the group. I have always played scrambles as any single round. Just go out and play within your game. Unless your playing with the Q school rejects, your normal game should be solid enough to keep the team in competition. UNLESS OF COURSE ......you're winning the closest to the anything "shots"...
  6. So it seems that the main concern is the simulator play. Will golfers go for that in that realm. So what if they built nine holes indoors and made them challenging. Would that justify the price? Could they add something to the place to increase the curious eyeballs?
  7. While I technically don't have a 5 wood in my bag, I have a 20 and 23 degree hybrid which in essence are my 5 and 7 wood (though a rather strong 7 wood .)
  8. I launched Episode 6 of Let Me See What Happens If I.. topic Preparation. Enjoy it and please comment to me. Thanks
  9. Thank you all. I'm afraid that my natural impatience will not help me. But I guess litlle by little is the only way. Maybe I can join you guys next year.
  10. In Palmer's book about strategy, he plays the hole from green to tee. As I look at it that way, there is no advantage to clearing the last bunker for score. For bragging rights (if that's the bet) ok. BTW, I would never have said that in High School or College. or in my 30's
  11. Hey Gang, So I'm halfway thru my rotator cuff surgery recovery. I haven't played a round in 11 months (by far the longest ever). My last swing was October. Has anyone had to go thru this? How did it feel when you picked it up again? Any tips are welcome.
  12. How much am I playing for ? To have a 120 wedge from the center of the fairway seems like money to me.
  13. sims are a fun substitute when you can't play outdoors. Don't take them too seriously. It's like Wii golf-imagine mishitting a shot on that and getting upset. It's just part of the course.
  14. See? these are the kinds of comments i was referring to when I asked the question. We grew up playing the shorter courses to learn that part of the game. When we felt comfortable with it, we moved on to the bigger courses and bigger challenges. Somewhere new golfers in this millenium have not been shown the merits of this type of learning the game and the love for it. I was behind a grandfather and his 13 year old on the first tee of the Black course at Bethpage. The grandfather hit it 125 into the green course fairway to the right and his grandson hit it 100 yards straight but still had 125 yards to get to the fairway. I walked off at 15 after 51/2 hours. My guess is the grandson didn't develop any love that day. Forest Park in Queens, NY was my home course . 5400 yards and 75cents to play in High school. Challenged me on every hole. I loved it. I stayed with it.
  15. This is where a good swing coach can make the diffference.
