I have a "play set" of hickorys. The irons are a "H&S; Grand Slam" set with miscellaneous woods All ebay purchases. Not expensive by any means. But great change of pace. I play up one tee box. This gives me a new view of the golf course. I have made some modification to the original clubs. I purchased a sheet of calf hide. Re gripped the clubs with the leather strips with the rough side out. Amazing feel. Also have put in lead inserts on the woods. I melted and poured my own lead. Kinda felt like Mel Gibson in "The Patriot" when he was forming his musket balls. The lead was to raise the swing weight of the woods up from C0 to a D. I could not feel the golf club head at the top of the swing. Titliest Pro V1 are the golf balls of choice for me. Not true hickory golf but gosh those Gutta and balata balls are expensive and easy to cut. Four take aways from the Hickory experience Rhythm is important. The wood shafts are not forgiving. Lower trajectory shots with run out are expected. Forget backspin. The sand bunker will get your attention. Your can shave with the club's bounce / leading edge.

Yes.......But as Mystique you get it all. Fantasy=reality

+1 Can hear his comments about sandbangers being putrifying puddles of gutless golfers. Muligans rotting the game to the core. His last words to Dr. Manhattan " JUST DO IT " directed to the golfer taking his seventh practice swing. LOL

Mystique please....Viva la difference

JUST SAW THIS THREAD>>>>>AWESOME Might i tweak these 3 points. 1. Retain political parties as these 1st amendment is sacred to most. 2. Retain primaries but the individuals advance irregardless of their political party affinity. 3. Advance candidates with a critical mass of support of the primary voters....of course allowing voters freedom to vote regardless of political affinity in either the primary or finals. I fail to understand the current system where we the voters are forced to expend precious tax dollars to help the political parties choose their particular candidate. This is especially true in the technologically advanced gerrymandering evident in the current political environment. Making safe districts tend to create candidates of the predominate party run the the extreme left or right of center (under the current system). This allows the greatest separation from the other CHOSEN candidate. NOTE THAT CHOSEN candidate may not be their chief rival or the OVERALL voter choice. If party A is the predominate party in a district then maybe 3 party A candidates advance past the primary. Now those three candidates MUST consider party B and C voters AND tend to their base A. Extremism is moderated.

I do not blame any particular party for the diversity of thought we have in U.S. politics....the debt ceiling, health care, view of China etc. WHAT IS NEEDED....is the saving of the parties from themselves. Gerrymandering has created insulated elections with the protected party running candidates to the extremes of their positions. An example is the House is more fractured than the Senate. Term limits do not solve this artificially created polarization. Solution....I hesitate to eliminated gerrymandering as who is the referee on this one? How about eliminating the GOVERNMENT sponsored primary system. We pay for the privileged of helping each party select a single candidate to put forth in the actual election process.....In other words we have less than optimal choices for the majority of the voters by allowing the political parties to game the system. Instead the top voter receivers in the primary REGARDLESS of party affiliation are put forward to the final election. If that be Blue vs Blue, Red vs Red, Tea Party vs Tea Party so be it. The Primary would be a bare knuckle fight but the final election must be fought by courting the centralist voter...WHERE the majority ls by definition.

+1 also for a change up I would recommend a GRAPHIC NOVEL that made the NY Times best 100 Novels of the 20th Century...The Watchmen by Alan Moore http://www.amazon.com/Watchmen-Alan-Moore/dp/0930289234 Another Graphic novel Y: The Last Man http://www.amazon.com/Last-Man-Vol-Unmanned/dp/1563899809 and finally the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy Douglas Adams http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_5?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords;=hitchhikers%20guide%20to%20the%20galaxy&sprefix;=Hitch%2Cstripbooks%2C197&rh;=i%3Astripbooks%2Ck%3Ahitchhikers%20guide%20to%20the%20galaxy

Driver-----I would recommend a 10.5 to 12 degree driver with a square head shape. Most forgiving out there. The Nike Sumo or Sumo2 can now be had for $25 to $40 and are still VERY GOOD. If you don't like square, Ping made a G2 offset driver which can be had for a song and dance. Again very good. As long as you are getting a driver in the 450 to 460 cc range and equal or more than 10 degrees loft and regular to stiff shaft your chances of getting a good driver is very good. You can increase your odds by staying with the following makes. Taylormade (the made their name on drivers), Callaway, Cleveland, Cobra, Adams, Ping (the G2). Once the industry went to 460 cc the major brands made some very forgiving drivers. In the last 10 years the apparent differences between a 6 year old driver and a current driver are minimal. That's why they had to go to the head color of white. Distance and forgiveness are not the justified in having this year's model versus keeping a 3 year old model. Marketing..Marketing...Marketing. Three wood same brands and stay with 15 degrees. Whatever fits your eye. Again cost of under $30 will give you quality. The wedge chipper is your personal choice I would spend more money here if you see something which fits your eye. That club will save you more strokes and the other three. That short game is the easiest to get under control for the beginning golfer. Your other expense is golf balls. Try Lostgolfballs.com. Buy some balls which fit your eye. The AA to AAA quality balls are of great quality. Basically only blemished by magic markers etc. Very playable.

I've played bare foot too. Enjoyed it. Pro's underwear was in a bundle and pinching the blood supply to his brain. Probably could not deal with something out of realm of normality. I have golfed in Vibram Five Finger shoes this year. The next thing to barefoot. I walk and carry my clubs for 18 hole rounds.

Awesome Choices +1 I am going old school just to change it up-----Note a picture of Kathreen Hepburn as golfer. Check out her swing in movie WOMEN of the Year Very talented!!!! I've added names for those who do not remember black and white movies. Audrey Hepburn Ingrid Bergman Kathreen Hepburn Lauren Becall

Except Brewers rather than Phillies

Well i golf in 5 finger Vibrams which I bekieve can be vegan.

I've had the problem of getting my hips involved in the downswing too. After trying to control the downswing hips involvement I found the solution was easier addressed on the back swing process. I make sure to COMPLETE my hip turn on the back swing. This creates enough tension such that the down swing is NATURALLY activates the hips and increasing my driving distance. WARNING: do not over turn the hips and shoulders at the top. Loss of the correct spine and head tilt will result it VERY pitiful shots. BTW I subscribe to the STACK and TILT swing method id this helps.

I would suggest going to a place to "test drive" the your future wedges before purchase. The choices are very personal just as a putter that fits your eye.

Have not missed an opportunity to vote for 30 years. The hardest part is doing the right amount of research on BOTH sides of the issues to make a decision. I have NEVER voted straight ticket.

The NEXT shot after a random shank!!!!!
