  1. My first round was 32 years ago, when I was 42. Having grown up in the Elizabeth Port in NJ, golf was something that never entered my life. We lived in a flat over a bar across from the Singer Manufacturing Company. At the ripe old age of 42 I put away the tools and became a manager, and the company president asked me if I played golf. I chuckled and said no, and then he said if you ever want to move up in this company you'll learn to play. The rest is history, at 74 I'm still working on my swing even though I'm long retired.
  2. The only golf book that has consistently been on my bedside table is Harvey Penicks Little Red Book.
  3. 7 wood and 7 iron would be my choice.
  4. If you read my post #13 I specifically mentioned potential.
  5. Winners get more clicks. Then you've been misinterpreting what I've been saying, or I presented it poorly. If it's the latter, my apologies. With his social media presence and recent foray into the long drive championship I disagree, but we shall see what we see.
  6. Over the next few years we'll see how it pans out. I'd wager on Bryson being "the guy" for the next 5 years or so.
  7. Choosing tee and hole locations advantageous to BAD is how I expect they'll set the course up. Why so upset about another person's opinion? In today's environment, social media rules and no male golfer rules social media for golf more than DeChambeau. He's everyone's foil, the guy we often love to hate. But no other currently playing pro brings in casual fans like Mr. Funny Hat. In any case, it should be a fun match to watch.
  8. Just one man's opinion.
  9. I didn't say nor imply that. However the fact that Bryson moves the needle more than Brooks can't be denied.
  10. Because Bryson is the media star du jour with the potential of bringing additional millions in revenue to the PGA tour.
  11. As a long time advocate of 12 holes becoming the standard I applaud that decision. You just have to know that the course will be set up for Bryson.
  12. Threads like this make me happy that I'm a walker.
  13. "You can't handle the truth!" A Few Good Men
  14. Thanks for the thoughtful input. I've decided to stand pat and continue with what I've been using. Experiments with shorter shafted lower lofted hybrids haven't yielded the consistency gains I had hoped for.
  15. Our game is difficult enough without having the ruling bodies try to satisfy the butt hurt so called "purists. Play, enjoy, play again. And invite a non golfing friend! Rediculous arbitrary rules hurt the game.
