  1. Brother that wasn't any kind of attack towards you at all!! Just kind of a hot topic and I struggle to understand why it matters to another man if Joe Schmo shows up at fricken Arcadia Bluffs wearing a Toga for God's sakes??? I cannot imagine looking across a fairway and thinking "look what that man is wearing we need to stop him" it's just really odd and the kids that are coming up will be the members at our clubs when we are dead and gone and will they even join if held to what some 60 year old white guy says they need to wear??? I just think there are bigger fish to fry than worrying about how another person chooses to dress themselves. I mean a nice t-shirt and shorts has to look better than some of John Dalys golf clothes???? By the way I love John Daly but couldn't pull that look off myself
  2. Oh any club should absolutely have the right just as any employer has the right to ask his/her employees to wear uniform but should it be the take of the 60 year old conservative man or should maybe the times dictate which direction they go??? There will come a day when all of us conservative old dudes are dead and gone and when we've driven all the young people away who will keep up this silly tradition????
  3. So here is a thought for all of you who Insist on tradition being upheld and a dress code mandatory, You are well within your rights as an American to voice that take and that's a beautiful right to have, So my suggestion is if we choose to hold people down who cannot afford to change their wardrobe to suit the likes of others, let's go find a youth coach or talk to the powers that be at the club and make a nice donation to youth golf for those that cannot afford to go buy a couple "conforming" uniforms. To me it would be hard to offer a recommendation without providing a solution so this way everyone is good!! Surely anyone who needs these "standards" upheld can afford to help those who cannot afford too. Easy as can be!!!
  4. Well look at it this way man, At least you weren't dumb enough to leave your place on a sunny warm island to head back to NW Lower Michigan and trade your sunny an 80° for whatever this garbage is!!! There is a silver lining to everything but I'm struggling to find it this morning
  5. Quite a few kids in this world cannot afford 55 bucks for one outfit man!!! Shorts and a nice t shirt are 13 bucks at Walmart and if you or anyone else is triggered by a kid wearing a t shirt and shorts learning a sport that gets them away from video games I suggest some therapy because that's just bizarre. To you and me that's a nice cheap way to buy what we like but to many families in the US an extra 5t bucks is not an option
  6. Iam a music freak but the golf course is not the place for it although I have played plenty of solo rounds with air pods in my ears with music
  7. How you percieved me agreeing with you that irons are harder to compare due to the fact that forged irons from then until now haven't changed much is beyond me but I suggest reading it again

    Man I loved it there!! Lived up at Sun Perch. I had met a Girl while stationed at Ft Polk just over the Louisiana line from Jasper and when I got out the first time I moved in with her and enrolled. Her family has a huge ranch in Timson TX and we had a blast!!!
  9. You don't buy what about forged irons??? I don't get it?? You think today's forged irons are much better than forged irons from 20 years ago??? If you think all of the twist is in the shaft I suggest looking into what happens to a head when it contacts a ball at 110 mph

    Not sure what that story is but this one involves a guy who lives in Florida for the winter and doesn't normally come home until April but his goofy friends tell him it's sunny and 60 and they are playing golf already so the guy falls for it and heads north into a blizzard Thank God for my SIM

    I have a really nice point cut in my cooler and will be putting it in the crock tomorrow morning as iam still traveling right now. Two hours to go and iam driving into a blizzard because iam stupid and listened to friends and headed home a month earlier than I should have!!!!
  12. The very best driver I've ever played is almost 10 years old now and that's hard to believe but when I say dispersion it is right to left and well as forward to back but left/right more than ever as the clubhead doesn't twist near as much on toe and heel strikes. If every shot I hit was center I suppose it wouldn't be as noticeable but I do not find the center as much as I would like to and that's the reason iam a 10 hdcp and playing a 4 iron off most tees on par 4 and 5s. You are correct with irons they have made really nice forged irons for quite awhile and there is only so much that can be done.

    You are speaking my language man!!! Every Texan I've ever known can sling it!! Spent many years in and around East Texas and actually went to college in Nacogdoches. Not a huge fan of authentic Mex but Texmex is in my top 3 cuisines!!
  14. I watched Rick Shiels bring back some of the most iconic drivers of the last 30 years and the results were exactly what I suspected!! The gains were extremely minimal but in all fairness to the manufacturer when the PGA set forth the COR limits etc they were pretty much maxed out 20 years ago. The one thing they have undoubtedly made gains on is dispersion which I feel is much more important than distance anyway. It's a great video and fun to see sticks we used to own and have possibly forgotten
  15. Chicago being a rival of my Detroit Lions but also my hometown made some serious moves!!! Brought in some real talent but unfortunately Williams will be a catastrophic bust so the "Trubisky and Fields nightmare" is only a warmup for what Caleb will bring!!! Can you say Andre Ware or Ryan Leaf???
  16. I cannot imagine playing golf in jeans but I've seen it a bunch?? I see guys playing Key West GC in August when it's 90° with brutal humidity??? Heck no for me but whatever works for ya
  17. My son is Joggerboy!! He has every high pair of those things ever made I cannot get past the weird little things at the bottom that make them look like sweats to me but in no means do they bother me it's good hearted ribbing at my house as he gets on me for my Dad shoes
  18. They still make plenty of irons with classic loft but you have to order any except the true players irons they are still classic lofted . The 7 Iron will be 35° instead of 27.5 to 30
  19. That's a PW for me and a strong lofted 8 iron for my league partner and he kicks my butt everytime we play. Doesn't matter how far anyone hits it but us men and the egos living proof is Kyle Berkshire!!! Hits driver , 8 iron on 560 yd par 5s on in two and three jacks for par meanwhile the old man hits it straight 3 times and then 1 putts for Birdie. Some of us hit down on the ball and trap it super hard which increases ball speed and others (me) have been working for years to keep my hands ahead of the ball so I actually even though my PW is a 48° deloft it fairly substantially so what club am I actually hitting??? It very well may be a 40° at contact
  20. Yeah I'm with you on tank tops or no sleeve specials!! But there are some really sweet performance wear t shirts that look nice and matter of fact my favorite golf shirts are those and I bought them in the pro shop at The Quarry at Bay Harbor and that's ultra exclusive. I am comfortable in collared shirts though and wear them going to a new club always but I will always wear shorts I cannot imagine long pants in Key West in May
  21. Yeah I was shocked when I read that!! They are far more players iron than some juiced Game Improvement iron that's why I was puzzled. I actually had to custom order my irons in "retro loft" to keep them traditional and I don't care about anything but the gapping. These dudes that play the OEM PW and GW in those sets go from the Gw being 46° to a 56 or 58 sand wedge???? I don't even play a factory PW mine is a Vokey because I don't like the clunky wedges in the sets
  22. So wearing a collared shirt shows respect for the game untucked and wearing shorts?? Bro I had too sorry it just read funny to me I'm a clown pay me no mind. I just find it comical we can all tell anyone the specs of every new golf club or piece of equipment and all the innovation in the game but we are worried about a collar on a shirt??? Its just funny to me. I do wear collared polo shirts almost daily and like them but could care less what another man is wearing! I think it's time to put the code to bed with the metal cleats and steel shafted drivers Bro they are sweatpants and always have been!!! Dont fall for the "jogger" Kool aid
  23. A PXG PW is 41 degs??? Wow my 8 iron is 39° that's the trend though and I had to order mine in what PING calls "Retro Spec lofts" to get them in the lofts I wanted to avoid gapping at the wedges. Ping now offers the standard loft (which is pretty jacked) the retro loft and the Power Spec lofts if you want to be the guy on the tee that says "man you have to hit 7 iron here??? That's a light 9 for me"
  24. Nailed it!! At my last duty station we had I believe eight outdoor pools, one indoor with diving platforms, tons of basketball/tennis courts, racquetball a bowling alley a recreational shooting range to include sporting clays and trap. A recreational area on a nearby lake with pontoon and loaded Bass Boats for rent and a really nice 18 hole course that played 7100 from the tips. Serve your country is something the younger generation is not grasping but thank God there are still some good parents around that don't hate the military!!
