Reading these posts make me feel like I am truly blessed to live in the Midwest! The longest I have ever waited was 5 or 6 minutes ... most days the course I play most often I have pretty much to myself - not that it doesn't have its peak periods, but I play mainly 1st thing in the morning and late in the afternoon/evening.

Seen it ... never played it ... The Putting Game

For the past 5 months it's been a Ping G5i Anser.

That really is a good one ... I use that at least once a week to keep working on my lag putting. It's also a good idea to try putting from the fringe from time to time in order to get a feel for that as well.

This is always one of my staples ... golf-fix-e-mail-bag-lag-putting

All I know is if I allow my back leg to straighten and lose flex, I hit it fat every time! I have worked long and hard to maintain some flex in the right knee thru my swing ...

So what's the difference between this and checking a yardage book with notes, etc prior to making the approach shot. See the pros do it constantly.

I like either the FootJoy WeatherSof Golf Glove (2 pack at Golf Galaxy for $20) or the Maxfli EXT (these often go on sale for 3 for $25). Both are comfortable. The Footjoy is a better glove, but the Maxfli feels better when it's really hot out.

Root .... I don't drink alcoholic varieties ...

Yeah - the way they build PW's these days - mine is so strong (44*) it leaves quite a gap between the PW & the GW.

Normally the fairways around here are pretty firm ... altho with all the rain this summer everything is a bit on the mushy side. It's not a real expensive wedge so I think I'm going to try to have it done and see what happens.

So if the wedge currently has 8* bounce, that would give me 6* ... what is "standard" for a 50* wedge?

I'm thinking I would like to have my 52 strengthened to 50 as this would give me a better spread distance/degree-wise. Are there drawbacks to having a wedge bent that much? Is it even possible?

TV networks are like magazines, newspapers, etc ... without ad dollars coming in, they dry up and go away.

Go to Golf Galaxy or Dicks and hit several shots with each driver in the simulator - that will tell you which one to buy. Then go to Rock Bottom or one of the other cheaper sites mentioned and buy it there.

2 boxes of Srixon Soft Feel golf balls, 3 Maxfli Golf Gloves

I really love my BagBoy Automatic ! It's built well, rolls nice and folds up simply and compact. I also like the fact that the tires are solid and there is no worry about a flat (I had issues with my last cart).

This pretty much says it for me too. Paying attention to set up, alignment will pay big dividends, and slowing down the takeaway and even the swing helped me a ton.

Up until a few weeks ago I really never paid a ton of attention to what golf ball I played with ... basically whatever was cheapest or what I found during play. Then I began to feel I needed to find a ball to use consistently so I could get more consistent distance, feel, etc. I did a couple of on-line ball fittings just to get an idea what type of ball to lean toward and I decided to give the Noodle Easy Distance and the Srixon Soft Feel the trial runs. All I can say is WOW - what a difference! The softer compression balls are absolutely improving my game - both in distance and feel around the green. In fact now I have to be careful when choosing a club so as not to over-shoot my target! The Srixon jumps off the club face and is a bit longer but it seems to be a bit erratic as far as direction. The Noodle has very similar distance (maybe slightly shorter), and is more consistent in flight, but I'm happy using either. I encourage everyone to take the time and spend a few extra bucks to buy the right golf ball for your game ... it DOES make a difference ... I am a convert ...

Been using the Tom Watsons (52, 56, 60) all season and am very happy with them. Been thinking of picking up another set just to have in reserve ...

Best advice I've heard in a while!

Tom Petty ..... Pink Floyd

I do 10 to 15 minutes of core, hip and shoulder stretching every morning, then I play golf (walking) 3 to 4 days a week ... that's my program. Has helped me lose 30 pounds and 2 pant sizes in 3 months.

Got my bumper sticker ... I'm so proud!!

Tried the new Noodle EZ Distance this week and I'm liking the results. Length is fine, feel is better than expected. Nice value for a 2 pc ball at $15 /dozen.
