  1. I was deployed to Afghanistan in 2003. While I was in country, I was on board a CH-47 that went through a rough landing. My back was injured and I was flown to Germany and then to Ft Sam Houston. I underwent several procedures to get my back into working order. When I was preparing to be released for the final time, the doctor handed my a file with a couple hundred sheets of paper. I asked what they were and he said exercises that I would need to do to help my back. I asked for how long and he said, "forever". I asked if there were any other options. He asked if I played golf. I said I had played about 2 times in my entire life. He said that playing a round a week was his best recommendation if I wasn't going to do all of the exercises. I thought it was a great idea. I even had the Doctor talk to my wife on the phone when I told her my "prescription" was going to be a set of golf clubs and weekly visits to the golf course! To this day, my back feels pretty good!
  2. A few shots from Willie Nelson’s course. A rather weird find beside the first green: Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  3. DURING! He was a golfer too! Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy
  4. Laugh if you want to! Since getting my online ordination, I have married over 20 couples. Not bad side hustle for golfing money!
  5. Hey Spys, Since I am back on the course, I just wanted to say I would be open to joining anyone who is lookin to play in the Austin area. I also have family down in San Antonio, so coming back home to SA is always possible too! I am all about having the FUN part of the game. I dont look at my score card to much, makes me start to lose my fun. Hit me up if youre lookin to play.
  6. How long have you been playing golf? What’s your handicap or normal score? Have been playing for about 7 years. But just got back to playing after a 3 yeas hiatus from having my daughter. Handicap is probably around a 20 when my game is "on"ish. What do you love about golf? Unplugging from everything. I am always chasing that "Perfect" shot. You know the one I am talking about? The swing feels good, your contact felt perfect. When the club connected with the ball, you could feel the core of the ball through the club and into your hands........ Errrrrr. Sorry, I got carried away. What brings you to MyGolfSpy? Do you already know any other Spies? Was around in the beginning with MGS. So I felt the need to reintroduce myself now that I am out playing again, or at least trying to. Where are you from? What is your home course? Am in Austin Texas, and play Bluebonnet the most. What are the best and worst things about golf in your region? Best is the variety of courses. Worst, the courses that allow the Texas scorching sun to kill the grass and dont adjust water accordingly. What do you do for a living? I am a Facilities Manager. How’d you pick your user name? Combined my most common score with where I play most of my second shots from!
  7. Played Sunday for my birthday. First time since the baby was born that I had a chance to actually pick up the sticks and do damage. Played a short 9 hole course. Very short. 3 par 4's and 6 par 3's. All said and done, I shot 9 over. Not by any means a stellar outing. Tempo is way off. Really have to slow back down and concentrate on grip and turning my torso as opposed to my arms. Had a few shots that made me remember what I enjoy about playing. The course, on the other hand, was the WORST time I have ever spent attempting to play golf. I didnt think it was the proper place here to vent, so I will see if there is another place it should go.
  8. Welcome my friend! It is great to have an ever-growing international member base. I am hoping to come to Italy sometime in the next year. Enjoy your trip to the Championships.
  9. Picked up a pristine set or R-11 irons the day after my daughter was born. Hoping to get out the the practice facility soon and see what they can do in my hands.
  10. Looks like there is a Set of R11's in my future

      My buddy got a set a couple months ago and they are nice. I've hit them a few times and got pretty good results.

      have had a few range sessions and am enjoying the results. Since baby, havent gotten a round in. Chomping at the bit

       

  11. Got a Nike Method Drone 2.0, T-mag Itsy Bitsy Spider and of course have the new Ping Ketsch from the Contest.
  12. i found it almost too fast on faster greens. I don't know if it was the density of the club that transferred more energy to the ball on hits or just my perception.
  13. OK, so from the tip of the grip to the sole of the club it measures 34", straight down the shaft. Never had to measure a shaft before, so i am assuming that's how you measure a putter.
  14. Foz..... i dont know for sure. believe 35" will measure when I get home from work tonight.
  15. Ok gang, so as you may know, I was in a putter dilemma. That's no longer a problem. So the wife says I gotta get rid of at least one of my putters. So instead of getting rid of the Ghost which is in my bag right now. I am getting rid of the Rife Cayman Brac. The guy i got it from played it two rounds before his wife bought him a Method. I have played it 6 rounds. I just don't have the skill yet to be as accurate as I originally thought I was. It is in great shape and has a Winn grip on it. No blemishes. Almost as it was, the day it was made. I dont want to make anything off of this. I paid the guy 40 bucks for it. That's all I want plus shipping.
  16. DUDE! That thing is SICK! Cant wait to see your finished product!
  17. Got out in my galoshes today. Played a little nine hole course up in Taylor. With my recent issues driving off the tee, I started the day leaving my Driver in the bag. played my 3 off the tee most of the day today. Cart path only, and another storm fron on the way had me thinking i would have most of the course to myself. WRONG. Everyone was trying, like me, to get in as many holes as possible before the rain. Ended up getting paired with a father and son playing best ball. Nice people and very encouraging. Am really beginning to enjoy my 3 wood which used to give me fits. Was convinced to pull the driver twice. Samurai Sliced the hell out of the first one, and pulled a rabbit out on the second (both on par 5s) knocking it a little over 250 and in the middle. My short game is atrocious right now. My pitching is nonexistent. Found myself reverting to chipping shots that most would pitch. Also pulled the Rife putter from my bag and putting the Rossa back in. Much better results. Also this was first game played with the Game Golf Hardware. Really liked it. Didnt tag two shots during the round. Computer showed them to me and it was very obvious what clubs were used for the shots. All in all, a pretty decent round, for me. One birdie, three pars, 2-singles, 2-doubles, and a triple.
  18. Have a Tee Time on Memorial Day! Dont care if it is raining or not!
