I play or practice at least 4 times a week. I have been using the same driver and fairway woods for the last 4 years. Lately it seems I have lost distance with all my woods. How long does a graphite shaft last? Do they ever go bad? Get weak? How often should you replace graphite shafts? I don’t think I have ever seen any information on longevity of graphite shafts.

I will watch videos on small swing tips. If I know I’m doing something wrong, I will look for ways to fix the problem. I also watch videos for the comedy in golf. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CdvhrLSgTW5/?igsh=ZWI2YzEzYmMxYg==

No, I paid for the app, I couldn’t find how much I paid. It doesn’t say when I went to the App Store. It’s not free, and this is not an add.

Playing golf in Kansas City during the fall, there a lot of Canadian Geese around. Several years ago a guy was on the tee box and there were 10-15 geese about a 100 yards out in the fairway. He swings and catches the ball thin, the ball only got a foot in the air. He hit a goose square in the neck and dropped him. He picked up the goose and carried it around with him the whole round. It was his only birdie that round.

I listen to music when I play and ear buds when I’m on the range. If I’m playing with someone new, I always ask, no one has ever said no. I also ask what type of music they like, I can listen to almost every type of music. I did come across a guy that brought a giant speaker and was blasting it across the course, that is too much. Low volume that you can barely hear past your cart is perfect.

I’m 6’4” with a new hip, a knee that needs to be replace and a bad back. I cannot rotate as much or do the exercises I need too. I have started and using Yoga-Go app. I’m doing the chair yoga, it has 30 different sessions and most are about 1/2. The app has tons of different types of exercises. I have gained a ton of flexibility. It has helped my golf game a lot.

Rory, he generates so much power. Nelly Korda, so smooth.

The fairways look faster than most greens in this country.
