  1. My approach to balls depends on the season. I typically play the Maxfli Tours for in season play (April through October).
    But winter months I look for a softer ball. It doesn’t need to be a high performance ball. Just something that is softer and durable. If I’m playing a brutal course then I’ll lean toward a ball that won’t break the bank if I loose a few. 

  2. 8 hours ago, bama no 1 said:

    Not sure if you saw that Holly sonders (formerly on the golf channel) wanted to start a female topless league.  my only question to that idea was where were they going to be able to play.

     I was invited by my friend to be in a golf tournament and that’s all I knew going in to it.
    It was “The Masters Gentlemen’s Club” outing in NJ many years ago. Three man team plus an entertainer caddy. There were also entertainers stationed at every green that wasn’t in view of houses or roads. I can’t go into details here but they were banned from the golf course after that day. The after party was even crazier. 

     

  3. Congrats on joining. Prepare to be spoiled.  Private club play can’t be beat. The course conditions, practice facilities, good food, and not having to deal with a packed course makes it all worth it. You just have to find a group to get in with. 

     Now I’m in NC. I joined a club which is only semi private. Meaning members get preferred tee times and pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited play. It allows the public to play. It’s the closest course so it will do. Course conditions are not as good but they are working on improving them. 

     

  4. The only hurdle is age. I learned a few years ago that too much practice will hurt your joints.
    I do practice a few times a week (sim in the garage and a 10 foot putting mat) But full swings never on back to back days ( In the sim). It doesn’t make sense, but I can play out on the course back to back and more, but not in the sim. Probably because you play out on the course in 3 to 4 hours so you have some recovery between shots but play 18 on the sim in an hour. 

    I don’t hit balls on the range (at least at my course) The range is built on a swamp but it is still very soft. Everything plugs and the balls are trash. I rather set the sim to driving range mode and hit four or five balls with each club. Then putt for 10 minutes.

    Well off to play golf now it’s up to 50 degrees from 38 when I woke up.

     

  5. I like the plastic tees. I find that they don’t leave marks on the dark colored wood heads and last forever. I used to use white wood tees but they make a mess on equipment. Natural wood colored tees are harder to find once they flip out of the ground. 
    I use the tall tees and the shorties. Luckily I find a few shorties every time I play. The shorties can be wood or plastic.
