  1. I want one of these automomous mowers for the yard....cut and fertilize in one step. Speaking of advancing tech.... I would have thought synthetic tees or greens would be in use by now. The cost to maintain a single green is so high i thought there would be incentive to come up with something that plays like the real stuff by now.
  2. I picture a shot on a hole no matter which club i am hitting on the range. Not just a distance but a shot shape and trajectory. I especially picture shots that have given me trouble so that i hopefully get over the hump on the course with them.
  3. The 10.5* G410 LST is staying in the bag this year. The 60g Hzrdus Smoke 6.5 shaft keeps me in the fairway. I went to this driver last year when going from a 9 - 10.5 degree driver to gain some height and it has been very consistent. I have hit it so well that it decided my answer for Ping in the single brand thread because it is the one club i dont want to give up.
  4. I had some time last evening for backyard wedge practice. I hit about 60 shots at the 55 yard mark with the 57*. Worked on the proper length backswing for that yardage and accelerating through impact. I worked on finishing hands low for lower shots and finishing hands high for higher shots. The tempo and face contact felt good by the time i finished.
  5. At my age and flexibility level I look to the Champions Tour and select Langer for a swing model! If it's a golf model, then those that know about these things (like @GolfSpy AFG) seem to indicate it would be our own @cnosil from a calf muscle point of view.
  6. I would go with Ping because i love my current G410 LST Driver and Heppler Fetch putter. I will fill in with i530 irons 5-W and 49, 53 & 57 Glide wedges. I have hit G430 3w and 7w and liked the ball flight so they are in too. I havent tried any of their hybrids (or anyone elses either) but for variety i think i could live with a G425 4 hybrid. Put them all in a Hoofer bag and i will be good to go.
  7. Maintenance on the putting green consists of painting the flags and sticks once a year, using the leaf blower for less than 5 min on a frequent basis, but we live in a state forest so leaves are a plague. I do get some weeds creeping into the fringe but a few times a year maybe 10 min to pull them out. If it starts rolling too fast I will take a push broom to it for maybe 15 min to make the blades of fake grass stand up a bit to slow it down. It has been a great backyard practice spot for the last 15 years. We paid to have it put in by a certified SW Greens installer and they did a great job, worth every $ to me. The stream / waterfall was necessary for SWMBO to OK the whole project. Maintenance is to add a bit of bleach to the water a few times a year. Adjusting the rocks in the stream bed has to happen after each visit from a little kid as they love to play in the water. But I don't stop them because I remember how much fun it was to do that as a kid. Leaves need to be picked out frequently. The water feature was designed and installed by us. Shaping the stream bed and hauling tons of rocks was my fitness membership for a summer. We only use potted plants around the green so they need to be watered frequently in the summer heat, usually every other day. For me that's a worthy trade to weeding a garden bed. And the plants need to be sprayed with deer out every two or three weeks to keep the deer from eating them. I think its the kind of thing to do if you know you are in the house for the long term.
  8. Took advantage of some nice weather today to do some yard cleanup around the putting green and stream. So i take full blame if the mid atlantic gets a late winter blizzard in the next two weeks since i even brought out the ballwasher. Flags and sticks need some paint. Some think the color scheme is john deere green & yellow because thats where the spray paint came from but to me it looks like Augusta colors!
  9. I like to play at about 6500 since that brings most clubs in my bag into play. I am about 250 off the tee and mostly straight & i like to see a variety of 2nd shots. I don't like to have all driver / wedge but I also don't like to have all driver / 5w either. If the par 3's for the chosen tee box are all 220 I may move up on a couple. I don't post for handicap so the scrambled course rating doesn't bother me.
  10. I am assuming you mean a tour pro am. You need an "in" to get picked and then come up with the thousands of $$$ through a company sponsor or your own bank acct or you dont get to play.
  11. I believe a click is 3/4*, can someone confirm or correct this? If so then 10.5* to start plus 2(.75) clicks gets you to 12*
  12. My kid played in HS also, I think just to throw me a bone since I was involved in all things dance center related for over a decade. The other hook for her was the outfits....oh....the matching skorts and tops....just wait until that kicks in. You'll be wishing it was just a dozen ProV's you're buying!!
  13. I would suggest you try a natural 12* driver rather than moving the 10.5* two clicks. Adding loft closes the face and you mentioned wanting to eliminate the left side of the course.
