  1. In 1970 I married my wife, that lasted 52 yrs 4 mo before she passed last October. So for Christmas of 1971 my Father N Law gave me the best putter on the market, which was a Ping. This coming Christmas that putter has remained in bag for 52 yrs. During those years I tried putters borrowed from friends, playing partners, and bought a Wally World special putter. None of those putter made a Hill of Beans difference. Many years I had more putts on the green, than it took for me to get to the green. Finally I took my brilliant wife's advise and got some lessons. I found out it was not the type of putter in my hands, it was to space between my ears. I never gave up on my Ping, so it was very surprising when I started to make putts after my lessons. In my first tournament of old farts, after my wife passing, I sank a 70+ ft putt on the final hole. Now for the last 2 rounds of golf last week my total putts for 36 holes, was 78, for an average of 34 putts per round. Yes I made several birdies, pars, and double bogus. There was never a single hole that had more than 3 putts. The putter that made all that happens is the 1971 Ping. So being 75 yrs old I can truly say if it feels good, works good, DON'T CHANGE. It AIN'T THE PUTTER PS. On several occasions during my 52 yrs of marriage, I wanted to buy a new set or clubs (minus putter). One morning sitting at the breakfast table my wife, had just finished beating cancer for the 4th time. She told me, go buy a new full set of clubs (minus putter) you want, but it want make a Hill of Beans difference on your score. Unless you take lessons. Yes Dear
  2. I only ride when there are options to riding in a cart. 15 yrs ago I had 2 stents inserted that improved my blood flow. Dr told me to move more on a daily bases. So I began walking 2 miles a day. Wife gave me a new push cart. Found I felt better after each round of golf, however scorecard didn't improve. HA HA. I began increasing my miles each year, now my daily average is 10 miles a day. Being a retired Army MSG (32 yrs) I follow strict rules by playing left, right, left, right. Average golf course distance is 5-7 miles but that is straight down the fairway. That is no fun, cause you miss poison ivy, snakes, gators, and some brand new golf balls. My Dr is very happy with the result I have achieved. Standing heart rate 50, resting heart rate 46, BP 135/60. After turning 75 last October I walk as much as possible each day. Anyone up for 36 holes with no cart?

    Golf Bike

    I have been using this golf bike for some time now. The bike has added lots of fun back into my game. On our course its allowed to be used in the woody area, where some balls hide. My video was shot by online streaming pro. The video is just over 3 minutes long. Take a look and tell me if anyone else plays a course that offers a golf bike. 1558642394_GolfBikeDonV.mp4
