  1. This will get it done nicely. It will carry your clubs, the clubs of the rest of your 4some and seat them in comfort on the way to your golf destination with no need to adjust front driver seat or passenger seat for leg room.
  2. You buy an expensive putter, play with it a couple of years then it loses its luster (ability to make a putt for you). You can't get anything near what your paid for it, why just give it away? Put it in a bag in the garage with the rest of stuff that has no value.
  3. I have that same club but it is twisted around to fit a right handed guy.
  4. I can truly say that my experience with private clubs is nothing like that of the OP. I have been a member of numerous private clubs since I was 26 years old. I am now 75. I live in a gated country club community where you must be at a minimum a social member to own/live here. I play about 65% of my rounds at this club. However, I belong to 2 traveling tournament leagues and we play between 15 to 20 different golf courses in the greater Houston area and between those 2 leagues I have played 70 rounds in the past year. Even if I did not live where I do, the cost of golf would probably be prohibitive if I did not belong to a club. I have played 238 rounds in the past 12 months and 172 round just in 2021. I am not a shy person. When I moved here, I only knew a couple of residents. My regular group that I play with came about because I walked up to the 3 of them on Sunday and said "Hey, do you mind if I play golf with you guys?" Even when I travel alone out of state, I try to get paired with someone. Sure, there are going to be politics to deal with but once you join a club, you have to realize you have a vested interest in it and you must get in there and become involved in the Men's Golf Association or the Senior Men's Golf Association, sign up for the tournaments or play days. Get involved. Then you realize the benefits of being a club member.
  5. Great read!!! In my bag today is a MacGregor Smoothie putter. Back in the 70s, I played several MacGregor persimmon drivers. They were with me until the first Taylor Made metal wood. I still have all of those MacGregor drivers, just don't play them now. Never did own MacGregor irons. I played with Wilson Staffs back then until the first Ping irons came out.
  6. Not so much now that I am retired but before retirement I traveled quite a bit resulting in me showing up at golf course as a single. I personally do not like playing as a single. I always ask do they have someone who they could pair me up with. Other times, I have hung around until I saw a single, twosome or threesome and just walked up and asked if they minded if I played along with them. On a few occasions, I was turned down but not very often. I try my best to be cordial, play quickly, and avoid certain topics of conversation that tend to be controversial. Conversation comes pretty easy for me so I just try to find out what their interests are and go from there. And, I never give advice about golf unless I am asked.
  7. I have bought from them on several occasions with no problems whatsoever.
  8. Congratulations. We are same age. I had been so close for a few years now but finally managed to do it twice since March. Again CONGRATULATIONS!!! Great accomplishment.
  9. I am back after being gone for a few years. I had to create a new account since the email address I used originally is not available to me to receive emails. Couldn't remember the password. Oh well..... I have been catching up reading lots of post here. Good to be back. I play in 2 traveling tournament leagues, have been MGA president at 3 different clubs, currently on handicap committee at 2clubs, maintain website for another, and run the Saturday afternoon Senior game at my home club. How long have you been playing golf? 50 years What’s your handicap or normal score? Handicap index is 11.0 What do you love about golf? I won't post the entire deal but if you watched the Legend of Bagger Vance, what Hardy Greaves told Rannulph Junuh in the locker room sums it up. It simply is the greatest game ever. If you didn't see the movie or don't remember it, look up the little speach Hardy gave Junuh. It really is good. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Doing a Google search, I saw a post I wanted to respond to. Do you already know any other Spies? Not sure Where are you from? Originally Alabama now live in Weston Lakes Texas What is your home course? Weston Lakes Country Club What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Can play golf pretty much year round is probably the best along with lots of good courses. Worst, well some would say the high temps and humidity in the summertime. I can tolerate it. Gnats and mosquitos are probably the worst to me. What do you do for a living? Retired from one of the largest oil field equipment and service suppliers in the world How’d you pick your user name? My old name was my full name. Now it is just my first name and first initial of last name. I don't try to hide.
  10. Here is what I used. https://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Tennis-Elbow-Support-Black/dp/B0027VOS8U/ref=sr_1_6?crid=309TNTXK0FVS9&dchild=1&keywords=tennis+elbow+brace+with+gel+pad&qid=1623711973&rdc=1&sprefix=tennis+elbow+brace+with+%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-6 I didn't just wear it playing golf. I wore it 7 days a week, wore it to work, wore it doing anything and everything. It took a while but I did not give up playing golf. I think the secret to it is wearing it almost constantly. Good luck
  11. I haven't found another one. And this year will be my 34th consecutive year to play in it.
