    Going to start walking courses instead of riding - Any advice?

    I've kinda embarrassed to admit it, but I've never walked a golf course before. Carts are just too damn fun and convenient. However, I'm continuing to focus on eating better and exercising more, so naturally, it feels like another area I can improve is not being lazy when golfing. Being that I've never walked a course before, what advice would you have for me? I have a pretty light bag but too much stuff in it currently, so I know I'll need to take a lot of the unnecessary things out of it. What else should I keep in mind? What lessons have you learned?

    Get a pushcart. You'll get (almost) all the exercise of walk+carry, but without the back pain.

    Treat a round of golf like a real workout. On hot days especially, walking 18 has some meaningful cardio and muscle strain. Bring water and some kind of protein/carb food (bar, PB sandwich, etc.).

    Enjoy! I almost always walk, to a point where I now avoid carts at all costs. You have more time to think about the next shot, enjoy the course, and the calorie burn means there's a guilt-free hot dog waiting at the end.

    So I'm going to be 55 this summer and had a torn labrum fixed in January. Do graphite shafts really make a big difference? I'm at the point that I need my body more than I need to beat myself up playing golf.

    I hit graphite for the first time at my last fitting and was sold immediately. If you don't always hit the center -- I certainly don't -- it really makes a difference.

    My wife and I had a random conversation on the way to the doctor today. We were talking about her making a hickory sauce for chicken sandwiches because she loved them from Denny's. She was telling me that she used liquid smoke to get the hickory flavoring, but the recipe called for smoked salt.

    Wait... What?

    I didn't know you could smoke salt. 🤯

    I know what I'm going to do the next time I throw something in the smoker, I'm going to make some salt, too. 

    Smoked salt is great, but in most dishes it'll be a lot more subtle than liquid smoke.

    Another option that might work for hickory sauce: some smoked paprika.

    Let's talk about Tee's !

    Good point @Hacker60521... never thought of it that way. I use plastic Tour Tees, both tall for drives and shorties for par 3's. Thankfully, I find them 99% of the time, have really only lost a handful. I use the Tour Tees with the smaller cups, I've seen them with a huge cup in the past and am not a fan of those. Not sure if it's a real thing or just in my head, but I feel like the larger cup tee holds the ball? Gotta be in my head, for sure. 

    Probably just in the head -- but it's in my head too. I can't hit from the oversized cup tees for the same reason ... subconsciously, I think my body feels like it has to scoop the ball out of the tee. It's not a great thing to think about for drives.
