    HAH! there are two courses here that are super close to 90! Mill Creek and one down south east (Ravenwood runs along 90 as well).

    I have a day job for a reason :D Also if I practiced as much as they do I wouldn't have the issues I do when I swing full

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    For me I generally swing "too" hard most of the time :) If I laid even 5% off my driver I'd probably be fine!

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    Played Saturday with the wife and her sister and BIL (different one than you played with @WNYTony). Shot a 92 - went 49/43 - the 43 had two penalties in it too. Again couldn't really find my driver :(

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    I don't care how far you hit it - play from the tees that let you score the best and once that gets "easy" move back one set, rinse and repeat until you find your limit. i can easily play from the back tees on nearly any course from a distance perspective - I do not. Comfortable for me is...

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    Just swapped out a few shafts yesterday. Got some pre-release Rapid Taper shafts from XCaliber via thehackersparadise.com Three of them to be exact so I put them into my 3i, 7i and 52 wedge. Gonna see how they do. They were parallel tip shafts versus the taper tip irons i have. So I had...

    Hey @Redneck_toy I hope he's owned up to it - but he left at least two balls on the course for people to find! As for my game - I shot 49/41 - that 41 included four over on the last two holes soo it should've even been better. I left three balls on the course in the first three holes. Was a...

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    I got lots of those - You'll also see parts of the course you didn't know existed (i'm not sure the grounds crew knows they exist). This course can be hit or miss - they were great for a long time - then got bought and some years are better than others - I'm interested to see what kind of shape...

    Geezus you have expectations set WAY too high. If I break 100 I'll consider it a win

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    Played yesterday - last minute - wasn't planning on it. Thumb is still sore. Feel it on the tee box - but it was nothing like it had been. It was sore during the swing and fine otherwise. Did NOT play good. But I had no expectations - I played golf and thats what matters!

    Let me get through this next weekend and I bet we can work something out. We're refreshing our kitchen ourselves and we have some butcher block to put in and painting to get done. If we get through it this week/weekend then I'll be fairly free to do somethin!

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    Heh - as I get older I find things that I'd normally ignore / play through don't quite work that way anymore :) This one feels like I hyper extended it - something I'd shake and be fine in a day. A week later .. i'm not fine. I've also not stopped using it. Soooo. Free you say? You...

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    I actually just ordered my 2nd five dozen for the year (the wife has been stealing mine and she's got a push block that loses her a few balls every round). I didn't play this weekend and turned down the chance to play tonite. My thumb is still bothersome. Yesterday was the best it's felt -...

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    So I mentioned playing Sunday and hurting my thumb. Took my dad out to Ravenwood on Wednesday for a late father's day round. Shot a 96. Driver was a bit better and I was having a real good day from 120 and in. The thumb was still bothersome and is even today as well (hoping by Sunday I'm...

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    Played yesterday. 90 and humid. Front 9 - we wait on EVERY hole. I shot a front side 51 with an 8 and a 10 on the first two holes, hurt my thumb as well. So I spent the round fighting my grip with the thumb discomfort. My swing was off as well (goat humping extraordinaire). Shot a 51 on...

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    So I'm a high swing speed kinda guy (I push 110 with my driver) - I ran the MTB Black for a while. Last season I switched to the MTB-X. I haven't looked back since. Haven't played in a bit - might get out Sunday. Do have a wednesday round next week at Ravenwood with my old man for belated...

    So, where are all the golf nuts hiding?

    Played a local private club (Midvale) for the first time yesterday. Temp read 100 degrees (and humid). Walked the first five holes and thought better of it (5->6 takes us past the pro shop so I picked up a cart). Shot a 90 - with two triples and three doubles. At least two of those triples...
