  1. I have both a watch and range finder. The watch for general long yardage and the scope to check distance to bunkers, water hazards and other carry distances. I definitely use scope inside of 150 yards.
  2. Slow play and that covers a lot both in the groups in front of me as well as some of the playing partners that I’m paired with when playing alone.
  3. I’ve never tried the boa style shoes. I’m not sure about how tight I can get them. I have 2pairs of sqarz’s and find them extremely comfortable. I have my doubts about the increased distance they produce.
  4. I actually don’t remember when I first paid 100.00 dollars or more. The first round that probably played was when my father treated me to a surprise round at pebble beach back in the late 90’s (I’m not counting benefit outings). Fast forward to the last couple of years when we’ve been in Naples Fla almost all of the courses that allow the public to play as well as the public courses are charging well over a 100.00 dollars for play in Jan.,Feb.,and March. Hitting the tourist market while they can and they get a lot of play.
  5. I play primarily during the week. Tuesdays with a group of guys (all year weather dependent), Fridays with a friend April thru November and once a month on with a social group on the second Monday of the month April thru October.
  6. I play with a regular person and during the season I notify him at the beginning of the round that I’m posting a score so I have to putt everything out. The group I play with we usually play some sort of best ball game with teams,so gummies are allowed around standard putter grip. We did have one guy who when he wasn’t playing well and out of the hole would start to lengthen the gummies to help the team score. Of course in match play any length putt can be conceded.
  7. I really don’t know/ remember how I found MGS. I just found it the most complete and unbiased research,testing done
  8. Good Morning to all. Reading the forum and have transitioned from golf to skis. I’ll be skiing my third day before the weather changes. Hope everyone has nice day.

    Cooking

    A lot of fine ideas. questions are how many are you feeding? Are you considered a busy station? When I cooked at the station there were 18 and sometimes more if another Battalion Chief or celebrating an retirement. You have to keep it simple. My go to meal was baked chicken quarters with lemon & thyme placed under the skin. Roast baby potatoes with onions. A small salad and of course a desert. (It was customary that if one was on overtime they provided desert) I would consider a subscription to cooks illustrated. They have great recipes and you can get it online.
  10. I carry 6 irons (6 thru pw,48)from the set and 2 additional wedges 52 and56 and the rest are driver,3wood,3,4,5 hybrid s.
  11. I originally would scour the 2 hand markets for club deals and have been successful. About 5 years ago I went and did a fitting for a whole bag. I didn’t purchase anything at the time as I didn’t feel I was swinging my best. (I drove over an hour ) 2 years later I’m in Fla and did a second fitting and would you know it almost the same results. (Irons only). I bought them and have been pleased. My current driver was fitted 2years ago (I won the driver and fitting in a contest) my 3wood, hybrids and wedges are second hand. I am currently trying to decide which of 2 model wedges I want to replace.
  12. Your question is vague. As I post scores, I play it as it is. You get relief from casual water, gru, temp. Immovable obstructions,etc. In the northern areas there are posting seasons due to mostly weather conditions. Then you’re playing for fun/practice. Then do whatever you want.
  13. My set of Titleist AP3’s came with a pw & 48 (which I love) and I currently use Titleist 52 & 56. I’m probably going to at least replace the 56 as it gets a lot of use.
  14. A long, long time ago I was in situation where a driver in my hand I would freeze over the ball. And when I did swing the would go everywhere but the fairway. So I went and got a 2 iron head, a standard true temper iron shaft and put it together with one change and that I cut it to a 3 iron specs since I was hitting my irons. It served me well,not long but back in the fairway. Fast forward, much older, swing much different,I hit my driver great and I have Dr,3W,3,4,5hybrid. I don’t use the 3wood much on the local courses. It’s there if the driver is gone awry. I also do have to consider replacing them as they were used when I got them and they have gotten a lot of use. When I do maybe a utility iron might replace one of them.
  15. No preference. A tee is a tee. I have so many tees, that I haven’t bought any in years. Some courses that I play I have almost found a perfectly good tee on every hole. Some players are too lazy to pick them up. Each year I go through the tees and end up donating some to junior golfers.
