  2. Depends on the weather. In Texas, we can golf all year long. Winter temperatures may be in the 30's but courses rarely close. During the winter I wear a cap because I can wear a knit beanie over it. During the summer, I wear a hat with a brim & mesh top that can also be soaked in water. Texas heat can be triple digits. Don't have a special cap but do have a favorite brimmed hat, Dorfman Pacific.
  3. The R&A & USGA have lost their minds. Technology, training & practice will always win out. It's stupid to have professionals play with a different ball. The "FEAR" of golf courses being over powered is dumb. The Valspar proved that this week. Let the rough grow, narrow the fairways, & making shot making a premium. Test the player's skill. A drive of 275+ yards can't have the club face off but 2 degrees to hit a 20 yard wide fairway.. The R&A plays on old sleep pastures that become difficult only if the weather / wind is howling. Their rough can be brutal if you can find the ball. Not "ALL" courses have the land to lengthen the tees but they all can make accuracy necessary by letting the rough grow to ankle deep. Another situation occurs: what about College players & the LPGA? The R&A & USGA didn't "OPEN" a can of worms, they put the worms in the can.
  4. Will Nakayama speed recorded on Trackman: 11/17/22 - 75.6 current 75.6 starting
  5. This may not be an option. I have a non electric pull/push cart & I use a Bag Boy Revolver with a side putter well. Just turn the top till you find your club.
  6. I have a 5 wood with a 3 wood shaft & a 7 wood with a 5 wood shaft.
  7. I use the layer up theory. I wear a sonomo thermal with any short sleeve polo over that. Instead of a jacket, I wear a vest. There are several types depending on how much you want to spend. I may be different than you but I find if my core is warm, I'm warm. I do carry air activated hand warmers in my pockets ( pants & vest.) I keep a couple of balls warm using the hand warmers. I find a vest allows for more freedom swinging.
  8. I know you tube can be a mess but it might not be all hip rotation. You can put a club over your shoulders and rotate back and forth making sure you do sway either way, rotating around a stable spine. Check out Clay Ballard's Straight Line release. You may be rotating fine but releasing the club early.
  9. Horschel should use the armlock then maybe he'd be a better putter. He's a whinner
  10. I walk at least four 18 holes rounds a week. I used to walk/play everyday but the golf course in my neighborhood closed due to poor management & no owner support. Like yourself I find walking is a more enjoyable way to play golf.
  11. The tee height test was interesting? Do you know what the average tee height is on the PGA Tour? The Riviera Country Club seems to be getting the best of some of the best. Hopefully you submit your findings to the USGA,R&A & PGA. I have a question. There are standards that clubs & ball must meet to be approved. If these standards remain the same then how is more distance achieved? Physicality has something to do with it as Bryson have proven. Other than that if the clubs & balls all meet the requirements what do the Golfing Governing Bodies contribute to the gain in distance?
