  1. I'm 70 and use a G30 12 degree driver with a Ping SR graphite shaft. This season, my average drive is 189 yards based on my GPS watch with long drive of 211 yards. Thankfully, my drives are normally fairly straight so at least my second shots are generally from the short grass.
  2. I play nearly modern, 70-80"s vintage and hickory shafted clubs from the 30's. Have to admit the vintage and hickory clubs bring the biggest smiles to my face. Key to enjoyment (at least for me) is to make sure to select tees that match the appropriate distance for these clubs as well as older traditional courses where the game is more along the ground as compared to newer courses which require high shots carried over hazards.
  3. Good News? I wish, but sadly no. I made the cut in 2013 and got practice round tickets - only success over past 15 years. The way 2020 has gone, guess I shouldn't have expected anything different. But maybe next year !!
  4. Done, very interesting research. Good luck!!
  5. Warren Course at Notre Dame. its a Coore Crenshaw design open to the public. Hosted a number of USGA events including Mens Senior Open recently. Great links style course - a fun walk and located close to Indiana Toll Road exit.
  6. Jones makes several good options (both carry bag and a carry / stand bag) - just picked up a carry / stand bag during Black Friday sale - really nice pricing.
  7. Course I mostly play doesn't have a range so I have found that swinging a weighted club and chipping a few shots in a grassy area is my best option. Reminds me of many older courses I have played in the UK which don't have ranges just a practice putting green area. In any case, my scores don't seem to vary greatly between range or no range - as long as I can stretch before playing.
  8. After reading the report and watching the video, have a questions about swing speed and "soft" golf ball. Several times the report stated a "soft" ball is a "slow" ball unless you have a slow swing speed. Question is: what is a "slow swing speed" for this report - is it below the 85 mph level used in the report? Did the report identify how "slow" your swing needed to be to make a "soft" ball work for you ? As a senior with a 75-80 mph driver speed, I'm trying to determine how the report relates to my game.
  9. I try to walk at least 9 holes when I play - when its cool I'm good for 18. I seem to have better pre-shot timing when a walk as opposed to rushing to the shot in a cart.
