  1. @Jim Shaw. Go for it. I know many people refuse to use covers and for them that OK. I don't like the noise as I walk and more importantly, the nicks that happen. I know often the reason is it slows pace of play. Frankly, I tallied how long it took me to remove and replace my covers for a round of 18. 6 minutes total. While on the same round the time I spent on the tees waiting for the group ahead was 32 minutes. Just saying, if you like covers, go for it. Very nice job everyone. Well done. Thank you for your input.
  2. Too much snow shoveling to find time. That and I'm just too worn out and sore. The snow covered an inch and a half of slush and ice which the snow blower does not handle. Had to grab a shovel.
  3. I guess it was 7 years ago. I was doing a search about information on Adams Golf and came upon it. Joined pretty quick. Definitely hooked on great information shared.
  4. Just noticed when "liking" a post a new icon which is designated as MGS. Help me out please. What is it supposed to signify? I'm a tad bit confused. Thanks.
  5. @JRenaissance. Welcome to the forums. Glad to see your starting out. Lots of great information to be had as you move around different topics. Quad Cities eh? I was stationed at Rock Island Arensal in the early 80's and lived in Davenport up near the old zoo. Loved golfing at the RIA Golf Club. Enjoyed watching the tugs move along the Ole Miss.
  6. Getting ready for round two snow tonight so shovels for tomorrow AM, and round 3 hits later Fri thru Sat noon. They say 12-15 inches, we'll see but for sure...no tee times this weekend.
  7. No one specific drill per se. I do try to hit at 30 balls each day, even during the winter. I'm lucky enough to have a net set up in the barn. Still can get mighty cold but dry. I start out with 10 chips, then full shots, 10 shots using a 9 or 8 and then 10 shots with a 7 or 6 iron. I take 10 swings with an old driver with a headcover and a old t-shirt wrap for weight and resistance. No balls involved. Then if hands are warm enough I finish with hitting 10-15 putts on a 10 foot putting rug.
  8. https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/60847-sub-70-putters-2023-forum-review/page/8/#elControls_978524_menu Half way down page 8 is where our discussions started on tinkering with the weights a bit
  9. Great article and even a lot of great stuff for an old fart grandpa to absorb and try out. Thanks for sharing.
  10. As a young man it had to be the last round I played with my dad just before heading into the Army. 45 years ago. Most recent as an old fart was this past summer playing a par 3 with my 9 YO grandson. It reminded me there are so many birds, squirrels, butterflies, bees, worms on a course in which capture the imagination of kids. He had a great time playing his first round, but also had a lot of fun discovering all sorts of things outdoors. All of them equally important to him.
  11. Das right, das right. Oh what a great song for the course. I used to get pretty PO'd on bad shots. Years ago I thought I'd rid myself of frustration on one bad shot and I slung my 7 iron down the fairway. No one in front of me. Result of such action? I tore my right bicep and that severely limited my golf for months while it healed. 15 years later, my right bicep still has excessive bulge. I can feel it when I'm trying to lift too much. I learned to keep my golf shot emotions in check. It also helped with lots of practice I became a much better golfer, so I have fewer bad shots than before. Still get some for sure but...
  12. @Rob Person I hear you. While testing the Sub70 004 mallet that was the first time I'd tried a putter with weights. It worked better than my current gamer but... I still had some "regular" misses. The Sub70 did come with a number of weights to try. It has taken some time to play with it but messing with the weights did in fact lessen the misses some. I'm hoping after winter blows thru that in Apr I'll be able to see if that in fact remains my miss. Keep learning and playing with it. Good luck man.
  13. I'm the total opposite. My longest iron is a 5 iron. I love my Adams Tight Lies 3 metal, and 5 metal, both are pre 2018. Next comes my G400 4 Hybrid. All three I hit better than any long iron. My swing has a sweeping tendency so it helps me.
  14. For the current cost differentials, I don't think you can go wrong with the G400 Max. As others have stated, hit it and see how it feels, but if you can get fit especially in shafts may help. But, I've been super happy with my G400 woods and irons for that matter.
  15. With the exception of league play on Tue mornings, the majority of my golf is solo or maybe 1 person. I tend to concentrate on 3 local courses that are all within 12 miles. They are close and very affordable for senior 9 holes walking, between 10 and 16 dollars. I do play other courses when we go camping but I have to admit I'm cost conscious and I'm comfortable on those courses. If one happens to have an outing one of the other 2 usually has open times.
  16. This is an interesting thought concept. Good luck you all and have fun. Will look forward to your write ups.
  17. Oh heck. If it keeps the peace...give it to him.
  18. @Paul Hedrick. Keep on trying as long as you can, but have fun always first and foremost. Good luck in 2024. We're routing for you.
  19. I wish you all luck as you try this out. For me, bad flash backs. Too many hours pushing a broom at the motor pool and mops in the barracks. Shivers up my spine.
  20. Hey there @Goodgravy. Glad to see you took the plunge and did a post. Welcome to the forum. RB laid it out pretty well. I'm one of those I really need to watch the budget so I 100% get the sticker shock. Nothing wrong with going to a couple or few other stores that will let you do some test shots in their bays. Hopefully you'll be able to get some numbers to compare but go with what you feel fit the best. Only you can decide that. If you find one and that still is out of the budget realm definitely look at pre/used clubs in that set up. But make sure you test that one as well before you leave the store. Good luck and let us know how you did.
  21. Golf Pride Tour Velvet MCC4's Mid size.
  22. Yeah, @sirchunksalot. Those water balls can be mighty tough right out of the pond. Best to smoke em to tenderize them. Glad to hear you had a good time. and things are looking up for you. Keep banging them my man.
