Butchammon, read your post and had to smile. I got out of the army and went into it. Like you I ended up being to old and got my class a cdl and have been trucking for 15 years. Nice to have a fellow vet and golf nut welcome to the obsession

Ok Fellow Golfers, I got some grand kids ages 1-8. The two oldest play in cali with my daughter and her husband at the navel base in Port Hunami. I have a 4 year old that I bought the little pink barbie Iron, driver and putter. Had her putting into a bucket on its side but that lost interest really fast, Getting warmer her so could be outside soon and would like to try to build her interest and keep it fun. any Ideas for keeping a 4 year olds attention for more than 5 minutes or am I doing good with that..lol. Thought Or Ideas?

I think yoga is a great low impact solution and the benefits for our game will be positive. Being more flexible and possibly with that will come less chance for injury. My lower back starts to hurt after a few holes and I have to sit for a few minutes then every few holes so sure that to will improve. Great advice. Thank you

Jcrane, have wondered about yoga but not sure how I’d squeeze into those tight pants or that I can even sport the look lol. I have been on the look out for a beginners yoga class. Has been hard to find one that fits my schedule I get Monday’s and Tuesday’s off. But thank you for the advice could use the stretching and flexibility also that’s gotta help your game right?

There is a link between diet and exercise and yes over eating creates over weight. Over exercising can also produce weight gain as stated due to the fact that muscle weighs more than fat. I am 300 lbs and I struggle with weight. I think there is also a phycological aspect here also. To put it simply, I don't have a or mine in non functioning, an off switch or a full meter on my intake side. I eat till I am over full and suffer from it hours after. I eat healthy and prepare most of my own food. I will even though I'm full going to shove something into my mouth just cause it goes with that meal ie dessert. I play golf 2 days a weeks in the warmer months and walk as much as I can. I have a harder time exercising, due to my work and the confines I do it in. I also am at a point it is painful to do a lot of exercise and so I do what I can but it is kind of a catch 22. There are many reasons for obesity and there are as many reasons to not get bogged down in the eat right exercise routine. Look at all the factors and behaviors in your life. Genetics, Lifestyle, Culture can all play a factor in your success or failure to remain at your desired weight level

I just bought clubs at 2nd swing in MN. I had a fitting that was free with purchase and boy am I happy I did. 1st off I have read and researched online read the blogs and asked any and everyone questions. I was pretty sure I knew what I wanted and was teetering between going to 2nd swing or dunham's sports store here in town. well I got on the track man and at 2nd swing and come to find out that the clubs i thought I wanted were among the worst I hit. I ended up with a Cobra F6 for a driver and they had me try the F7 and Idid not hit that as well. Irons I tried the titelist AP1 with graphite shafts and that was not as good ad the Taylormade Burners. Hybrid and Fairway Wood were a titleist Ap1 hybrid and a Taylormade M1 Fairway wood. all in al it was an amazing experience and I will buy clubs this way from now on. I was a two hour drive and 2 hour fitting and 2 back but I think that it was what I needed. Kinda like a good dress shirt. very few can grab it off the rack and it looks good . Most have to have it tweaked just a bit. I say find a place to get fitted we make a day of Golfing well make a day of getting those clubs. You be Happy you did and so will your scorecard.

Actually there are several great courses in a small area here. Turtle back up in rice lake is nice and voyager village country club near spooner is very nice. And I’m sure there are other recommendations others will make. A person can hit a few in a weekend and not venture more than 20+ miles from there hotel

Well you should try it in the spring

Well I’m new to the game so it varies day to day which holes blow the hardest lol. But still keep going out. Still have to Break the triple digit disasters got close but just missed it by that much(Maxwell Smart) yes I’m that old

Here in Menomonie area we have tanglewood greens nice 18 hole new owners and they’ve sunk a fair bit of coin in fixing up the place. Love the course and new clubhouse.

Super. I have an iPhone so far only one I’ve seen that has worked every time is the grint. Game golf was ok but not overly accurate and well to much trying to sell add on’s But that’s common this day and age. Everything’s got a price tag on it. I have not tried the pro version but not in need of the features. Thank you for your post. I’m trying to look at as many as I can.

Hey Dan, just downloaded your app and really like the simplistic look and navigation of it. Downloaded the two courses I play that are close and the large 18 hole par 72 looks great. Was surprised to find my little par 3 29 course in there. Ran a test on that one and it starts the course on hole 2. Where does the data for courses come from. I currently use The Grint for an app and it has different data? I'll try it out scoring wise today and see how it all flys but do far so good. Keep it up I think you got a winner here

Got the grips on yesterday thanks for the spiral wrap tips. I put a screwdriver in my vise and a large washer on it and spun the club. Unfortunately I used to much tape in the beginning and only got 10 clubs wrapped before I ran out of tape( ran inside and ordered more) so when new arrives I got it down. In the future I will pay attention to the pictures of the kit and order the 2 in tape. Thanks for the help was easy regrip except the old shaft clean up that was a pain but in the end well worth it.
