Ole Miss Rebel

I have noticed as I get older, and my club speed slows just a little bit, my drives have lost a few yards. I have been doing some research and learned that with a softer ball I will get good compression off the club and maybe some distance back. So, I am going to try and work the Titleist Tour Soft into my play. I will let you know what I think about this change.

I was on my way home from work and thought maybe I could get in a round. No, the only opening was a back 9 spot. Still had to wait for the group in front of me to move ahead. They were very slow, I finally got going, driver off the first tee, Wow! Sweet, 8 iron shot dropped in between the bunker and the green, nice bump & roll shot onto the green. Six-foot putt, par! Did I say SLOW! I played okay, good and some bad, one more par for a 45. I did not complain because I was fitted in as a walk-up but really a four group in front of me took over 12 minutes on every green! They were not waiting on anyone, the pair in front of them were cooking! I should have asked to play around; I would have skipped a hole to keep things moving!

Thank you for the reviews, I like being able to play different locations. That was a big help!

I am looking for a town with good golf courses in Mississippi and maybe east Tennessee (Chattanooga). I am retiring and moving to someplace with better weather and cost of living. Most all clubs have web sites but that really does not help. Do you play the local public courses if there are any?

Well I am getting closer, my game is about the same, but I am still aging! LOL

Do they sit taller? Sole looks thick.

I am at about the graph distances for my long irons and about 5% less for my short irons. Most of this is due to injuries I have suffered in the last few years. After two years of physical therapy and a change of the mechanics of my swing my long irons are back and maybe 5 to 10 yards longer when I am fresh, back to average after 18. My short irons are different, I think due to some changes in my swing, accuracy is still good. I am still using my PT rubber bands for training and very lightweight free weights.

I have lost some weight over the last few years, but I still am feeling my age. My last 18 I was 15 over par, the greens were a bit dry. My short game was okay, just a bit short off the tee!

Archery has been a tremendous help in getting fitness back in the right shoulder and some in left. But my left shoulder is at a plateau. I have been using my swing trainer and it has been okay but not seeing much improvement. My leg and core strength are both back and good, my doctor said shoulder looks good and it will just be time. At my age I know time slows but would really like my game to be pain free by spring.

Plastic, I like the three contact points. I feel the ball pops of the tee with less drag. Also, after being struck, they are easy to find, I think I get more life out of plastic!
