Forgive me if I am wrong ( which my wife says is often), but wasn't the rebound frozen a few years back?
To my way of thinking (if correct) your best option would be a shaft fitting, yes?

Tiger's speed is 129, so you're right there with the best.

Very nice looking stick...……………………..however, don't know if I could hit
it as it looks like the head is really closed. Maybe it's just my bad eyes.

Anyone using the new ogio suspension strap, SHOXX X4. How do you like it, and what was the cost?
Thanks

SmoothG does that name indicate your tempo? At a 14 you and with a smooth swing you can't be missing that many
fairways. Even if you do, that would eliminate problem # 2 lost balls. When you look for yours you will find many extras.
In my years of playing I have found 10 5 gallon bucket full, that's 330 balls per bucket. To clean them just wrap your
cement mixer blades with synthetic grass. If you play with a group that may not be an option, but if you walk now and then
you'll find plenty. As far as practice goes, you're spot on with the short game, however the long game can be practiced at
home. In my case I just hung a recycled commerical fishing net ($50.) between to trees and problem solved, also it's great
exercise at a moment's notice. I have confidence that you will figure out your face angle in no time. For me the driver is
to much fun not to have in my bag. Now tell mama you have business in Paris tn., and I'll buy you a round or 2, and we have
an extra room. However it won't be free, as I'll be sure the lawn needs mowing!! Friend Bob
ps. What I have found helpful, is I'll pick out an alignment aid about a foot or so in front of my ball and
take my setup from that. From there I forget about what's "out there" and put a SmoothG movie star swing on it and let the
producers edit in the results. Hope this helps (or at least makes sense).

Steve if I were you, I think I would blow off the grips and add extenders. It would cost almost nothing and give you a good idea of where you're at. Also with your large hands you might want to add an extra layer or two of tape to see if you like the feel. At 6'8" and at 6.5 I don't to meet you at the course...…………...unless you're buying the beer.

"The fat guy in the rain coat" Pelzy, if I remember right, stated the guys that could get it up and down from 100 yards and in, were the money makers. Of course he was a failed professional. So he went to his second love rocket science, so he probably knows something about numbers. I've worn out a couple of his books. I could usually hit (greens) at least a 1/3 and usually more than half, but rarely break 80. One day, I hit (I think) 16 or 17 greens and shot 74.....pretty pathetic if you think about it. If I was teaching, I would start them out around the greens and work back.

I took your survey, and the last question I marked "other" as there was no "nothing prevents me" answer to check off.

Quick drive to Monterey, Play Poppy, Pasatiempo and Blackhorse/Bayonet. And cruise 17 mile drive.
Could have went the rest of the year without hearing about Fort Ord. In the early 70's had an older friend retired Air Force officer took us too Ord every Monday for at least a few years. Memory is bad but we played all day 54 holes and I think started on Blackhorse because Bayonet had a reputation for having the US open qualifying before and was considered a track, and everyone wanted to try it. However our first round on Blackhorse then Bayonet had thinned out and we would hit that then back Blackhorse. I think golf was around 10 bucks (?) for the day however we did buy "SIR" gas and chow. Long day but worth it. sorry about the mistakes,wife went to bed and I can't fix them.
[POLL] Play Pebble Beach? Or other?

VRNYN Bad memory here...……………...but, a retired officer friend of mine, and 2 others made the trip to the "peninsula" most every Monday. That went on
for at least a handful of years, and I'm fairly sure we never spent more than "about" $15. each + or -. I don't think we even had a tee time, as I don't remember
any type of stress, time wise to get there. From week too week we'd change venues. Spyglass, Fort Ord, or Pebble.
