Is Golf's Dress Code Outdated?
David Leighton Reid replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in Breaking News and Debate
I believe so. I see no reason why the pro's aren't allowed to wear shorts, especially in the heat of the summer. -
Did the Player’s provide the excitement that the PGA Tour needed?
David Leighton Reid replied to Javs's topic in Tour Talk
A great final round and a nail-biter to the end. I was a bit disappointed in Wyndam Clark throwing his caddy under the bus after his horrific water ball on Saturday at the 17th. Supposedly his caddy told him to take a little off the chosen club, so I guess that caused him to hit fat. -
Good morning, golfers! I am hanging out with 4th graders this week. Next week is spring break, so hopefully, lots of golf.

I alternate between 2 drivers: a Ping G425 Max with a UST Mamiya MP5 in ladies flex and a PXG Gen 5 0311XF with Graffaloy ProLaunch Blue 45 in senior flex. I like both, but my first pick is the Ping.

MyGolfSpy X Bridgestone Mindset Sampling Opportunity

Good Thursday morning, golfers! After 4 consecutive days of walking 18 holes, this old retired hacker needs to take a break and do something less strenuous....like clean house. SWMBO might think she is supporting a golf deadbeat instead of a part-time golfer and house cleaner. No subbing this week due to nice weather and the fact that I accepted a 4 day assignment for next week.

Old Kinderhook is a favorite and Bear Creek Valley is such a hidden gem. Across Hwy 54 from Old Kinderhook is Lake Valley which is a nice course. It has 6 each of par 3's, par 4's and par 5's. East of Camdenton is another fairly hidden course called Deere Chase which is probably less expensive than some of the others. Margaritaville (old Marriot Tan-Tar-A) has a course called The Oaks which is very hilly. Lodge of the Four Seasons has 2 courses similar to The Oaks. Osage National has 3 nine hole courses and designed by Arnold Palmer. North of Camdenton to Laurie you have Indian Rock. I have played all of these courses but it has been several years for some of them. Probably the best thing would be to look at the individual websites.

Which courses have you played?
-
I have just finished playing 4 consecutive days and my ball striking has been good for the most part. A friend shared a pro tip about keeping a loose grip on his wedges and it improved his accuracy. I have made a conscious effort the last 4 days to think about a light grip before starting my swing and my pull left misses have become minimal. For as long as I can remember, keeping a light grip has always been instructed, but for some dumb reason, I guess I have been squeezing the grip a bit too tight.

My 70 came a few years ago and since then I have had a couple of 71's. At the end of those 71 rounds, I would look back to see where I could have possibly saved a couple of strokes to get to the dreamed of 69. I turn 65 in August, so maybe I will have a better shot at breaking 70 from the senior tees. Are you planning on returning to Lake of the Ozarks for golf this year?
-
Congrats Preeway! That is an awesome accomplishment to break 70. My lowest score ever is a 70, so my dream is to someday earn that new banner.
