I have no problem with people with physical limitations riding but many young and able people ride and many of them automatically assume that walkers are slow.

I want to bring up another course management strategy that will reduce your score is not going for the pin all the time. We should aim for the middle of the green or the fat part of the greens and not going for the pin if it is near the edge of the greens. I usually score better if I follow with this strategy but many times I don't and pay dearly for it. It is fun to go for the pin but even if you hit close to it, you will two putts most of the time. If you miss and don't have any green to land for your chip, you are now in trouble.

I agree with most of what you wrote. But you probably don't want to hit your third shot with a mid iron. Usually I want my third shot to be 130 yards or less. By hitting a hybrid or long iron of the tee, I think you would avoid most of the trouble. For example for a 510 yards hole, I would hit a 3W for 210. By hitting the 3W you definitely avoid the bunkers which are usually at around 230 to 250 yards. Then I would hit a 4 iron for 170 yards. Then my third shot will be with an 8 iron for 130 yards. What I don't understand is that people keep hitting their 3W or Hybrids on the second shot when they are about 260 yards out. Most hit their 3W or hybrids at around 190-220 yards. Why not hit a mid iron that will leave you a third shot with a short iron or wedge?

What is the loft of your 3W and your driver? I was thinking loft but it can't be with your swing speed. If you can hit straight or slight draw with your 3W and get 270, why do you need a driver on any course? You are longer than Kenny Perry with his driver. If you are this long and still have a 22 handicap your swing is probably not very repeatable or your short game needs improvement.

Interesting idea. I will try this too. It makes sense. I just can't pause at the top even now. Hope this trick will help.

I had the same problem before except that it was with all the clubs. I used the Medicus and it helped. With the Medicus, on the downswing if you swing with your body is out of sync then club breaks and you can hit it. You get immediate feedback. You have to turn with your hip. I think the tempomaster club does the same think. Since you have problem with longer clubs, maybe you can buy the tempomaster driver.

Here is the Secret, promoted by Greg Norman.

If you have a sound swing with smooth transition and acceleration, a lighter shaft means more clubhead speed. I think the author is trying to say that many golfers mess up their swing with a lighter shaft and slow down in their attempt to gain some control. With a heavier shaft, these golfers can be more aggressive.

Has anyone use the Secret training aid before? Is it worth the money? I think it helps eliminate the left wrist cupping at contact which is exactly my problem. thanks,

If your personal life is a mess it is hard to play golf well. I expect him to win Majors again next year once the divorce is final and he settles down to his new life. Tiger got me interested in watching golf and playing golf and I am more interested in watching golf on TV when he is contending.

I am also looking for an MP-57 set on ebay. They look similar to the MP-60 but just a little bit more forgiving. My problem is that I can't find an MP-57 set with Dynalite Gold R300 or Dynalite SL Gold R300 shafts because most of these come with Stiff or Dynamic Gold shafts.

What brand did you buy? I tried Extenze and it didn't work.

I think his point that assuming everything being equal, the top 100 golf players out of 60,000,000 golfers is tougher than the top 100 players out of 15,000,000 golfers. I don't completely understand about your point about your ranking.
