Ron N SoCal

We have had a lot of rain this year, but I still get out and slog through the mud and play most days. Other than an occasional frost delay, there is rarely weather bad enough to keep me off the course first thing every morning. I live in Thousand Oaks, CA and have a yearly pass that is good for midweek golf most every day and for walkers like me there are no additional fees. So golf is my daily exercise routine.

It is pretty hard to remember. I took up golf about 20, maybe 25 years ago. I am now 76 and playing 5 days a week when the weather permits, which is often since I live in SoCal. I do remember my first set was Prince, a company best known for tennis rackets at the time. I do not know the model, but they were about $700 with graphite shafts which was similar to Taylormade Burners at the time. I think my next set was Callaway Razr followed by Callaway XR which I still use.

I think Ecco may be off on their shoe sizing. I wear a man's 7.5 in almost all shoes. I have seen Ecco recommend a size 41, but my Ecco sandals are all 40, and fit great. Other Euro conversions recommend 40 for men who wear 7.5.
