    Jack, I hear ya. Welcome to the forums.

    Played my first Michigan 9 holes for season 2024. Upper 60's but the wind was horrible. Gusting over 30 making it tough to judge. Shot 42 so I'm not real sad, but would have been happier if I hadn't had 2 three putts. Was real happy on a par 5 I've never hit in 2. Today I managed to, thanks wind. Missed the eagle but got the birdie so all is OK.

    Rented a 3 bedroom condo in Alabama for 4 weeks. Paid to have both the kids and their families fly down for spring break. Grandma's dream was to have all 6 grandkids for swimming and fun in the sun. Mar 2020 $%$#@&^%. 2 days after we got there everything shut down. The kids couldn't fly out. Total bust and $10,000 down the drain. High point was we sat on the balcony in warmer weather than covered in MI snow.

    @Jeffers. Man, talk about 80% of the golfing world wanting to be your friend. Welcome to the forums. You're right, it is God's country. Spent a lot of time in the area trout fishing the "ditches" and streams as well as pan sized crappie from the Wisconsin River. Still amazes me that I found enough time to actually graduate from UWSP.

    @Dylann_Chapman, regardless, you definitely made a 100% correct choice by joining the forums. There is so much knowledge located here. As you'll discover not everybody agrees with each other. That is AOK as well. Glad you joined and welcome to the pursuit of better golf.

    Nothing fancy. Just hitting balls into the net in the barn to keep loose. Was going to play Monday but figured it would be too dark during my normal playing times. I'll sneak out to the range instead.

    @Siilky and @MOSologist welcome to the forum. Glad to have you all aboard. Enjoy.

    I'll play a ball until a feelable blemish/rough spot develops. If it's a gouge in the trash it goes. Blemish/ rough spots go in the on bag water hole reserve. Excess over those 6 reserves go into the practice shag bag. After a season, I rotate the shag bag balls out to the range ball donation bag for use the following spring and summer range sessions..

    @NorCalCamper, welcome to the forums. I'm sure you'll find many great tips, tidbits and some good ole fun. Welcome.

    All great advice above. Know yourself, as you've discovered is changing each year especially as we accrue "years of wisdom". My two cents is continue to play, continue to enjoy, play from the correct tees and don't let egos interfere. Yeah, I used to clear that creek from here, but that was 10 years ago. Should I really try it?

    @Kenty B welcome to the forums. Glad you joined up. As you'll find, lots a great info abounds here. Welcome.

    I use a semiautomated tracking called score keeper used by greens keeper.org. I have to load my score card each time but it tracks FH, GIR, penalties, putts, raw score and then computes a rough handicap score etc. It tracks my game with enough data to keep me busy and going in the right direction to do corrections and practice needs.

    Taking turns watching 6 grandkids off and on. While doing it teaching those little critters what hammers, saws, screwdrivers and duct tape are for. Always fun to listen to their ideas of what they want to build and with what materials they plan to use.

    My first set of clubs after getting my commission to 2LT in early 70's were RAMs. Man I liked those sticks. Still have them stored away in the barn. I believe they were a Dave Hill model.

    Wet towel. Keep it simple and save the bucks for stuff that's needed elsewhere. Now when cleaning a bucket full of shag balls I do attach a brush to my "cordless drill" and swirl the batch around in the water. Makes for clean ones in short time.

    Cold and rainy today. Courses closed. Decided to head out to the barn and re-grip my driver and three metal. good use of time.

    Congrats all. Looking forward to your thought as to the concept. Does it really help with concentration?
  18. Dweed
    Congrats testers. Looking forward to your discoveries especially on how it handles up and equally the down on hills. Ease of fold and transport and in @rkj427's case, ease in avoiding the Sandhill crane and geese poop around the Metroparks. Good luck all and have fun.

    Lots of great advice out there. @Samuel09152 hit on a key one. Do a a couple of 9 hole rounds first to work out your pace as well as test out your current shoes and watch for blisters. I'm 70 and use a push cart and love the game more now than ever before.

    I have a good idea on my carry but my problem is as I get older I have to keep adjusting downward.

    I usually chew on a plastic tee. Extra golf ball in right pocket. Ball marker and mark repair tool in left pocket.
  22. Dweed
    Couple of dozen new Maxfli Tour balls with the new alignment marks. See if it helps soon.
  23. Dweed
    Cart bag for sure. Main reason is that I walk most of my rounds and I use a push cart. The stand bag can be awkward sometimes. Much easier to use the cart bag in my instance.

    @barney19 and @MilanoPizza welcome to the forums folks. Hang in there, the season is right around the corner.
