This is how best describes my swing right now, moving out of state, (don't feel bad, its into Arizona and am retiring) so I have not played much...

Changed my mind after an awful day,,,,,,,,,,,, SOCKS, seriously, I have found the one's which are cool, don't have much cushion, those that do, well, are a bit hot and get soggy, also the seam on the toes,,,, which stay up for after several washings,,,,, if you have suggestions, let me know,,,,

Here is another off the wall/Outside the Norm, its actually more than one but kind of close,,,,,,, 1) "Tour Issue" VS Of the rack head test- Let's put it to a test and to bed, IS there really is a difference ? 2) High end /$$$$ shafts VS "working man's" shafts- Who do they REALLY benefit the most? Is there REALLY a difference? Come on guys! STIR THE POT !!!!!

Just had my last spring forward time change,,,, moving to AZ this summer no mas time changes !!!

I have seen some stainless Newport 2’s on the bay, but for the price , I can buy a new select.

Still waiting for a no weights, no insert stainless steel Newport 2.

Personally, the best amenity I have found, is a simple genuine greeting. Played a municipal course in New Mexico where the entire staff, from the head pro and his assistant working the desk to the lady behind the lunch counter were friendly and helpful.

Co-Worker told me this one,,,,,,,, He was ready to tee off and this older gentleman, very friendly , pulls up and says he was paired up with him. He says they had a great time, finished the round and went their separate ways. About two years later, his then girlfriend invites him to have dinner and meet her parents. YUP, you guessed it, it was him. That man has been his father in law for 23 years now.

Here is is a suggestion which is WAAAAYYYYY out of he box and would be fun plus open some eyes,,, Members summit their current driver model and specs i.e shaft and grip,,, THEN those chosen are sent a 5 or 10 year old driver, same brand, same shaft same grip,, then test results are revealed,,,,,,,, was their current gamer that much better ? ( I know,,, I've been wanting major OEM's to do this)

I am retiring at 60 from my federal job, I will have 21 and half, did you know that if your retire at 60 with 20 years (FERS) your eligible for what they call Federal Social Security Supplement, you basically get 40% of your at 62 SS money. When you turn 62, you start getting the full amount

I collected baseball cards in the 90's, I collected head covers, maybe I misspoke, but, if there was a central point were collectors of say, headcovers could ask for advise or info, they would not have to start thread,

Just looking and thought, would a collectors corner work? A forum where golf and non golf collectors can exchange ideas, make trades or ??? for what ever their passion besides playing golf might be.

OK, I’ll say it, but I think Tiger Woods is BORING!

About 5 years ago I “knew” I was going to wait until I was 62 to retire (was 55 then) then my wife heard about a co-worker who passed away , he was still working because he said he could not afford to retire and wanted more in the way of retirement pay, he was 63. Two years ago my best friend and co-worker was diagnosed with esophageal cancer, then he went into remission and then no cancer, he was stoked, 7 months later he passed away. Several other officers who waited until 65 and 67 to retire, you guessed it, both passed within a couple of years Those incidents made the wife and I think, so I am retiring this September 26, age 60, that’s as soon as I can retire, financially we will be OK, I could wait two years and make about $300 more a month, but that’s two years I could spend enjoying life.

We have had a couple 40+ gusts over here at March ARB, Riverside CA. Pretty much wiped out my outing tomorrow.

Well, am going to have to take a trip to the PGA superstore and give them a try! Liked the 410's when I tried them, dont know why I went with the G700's, marketing?

WOW! Please bare with my questions since your the first person to have hit these I have some questions which I hope you can answer for me. How is the sound? I bought the G700's when they came out and I still cant get used to the sound I cant feel the position of the head on my G700's with graphite shafts, feels like am swinging a dowel, how do these felt ? Did you try any graphite shafts? Thanks !

If they were steel no problem, graphite, I will surely ruin a couple. Tried to swing my G700’s and don’t know if it’s mental, but, yeah, tough to feel head position, feels more like am swinging a stick. Think I’ll do that, go give the G425’s a shot next week. thanks

Help me out Bought the PING G-700’s when they came out, the “fitting” was not that great now that I think about all involved. ‘Since I’ve owned them something did not feel right, they felt light. Today at the range, a gentleman next to me was it hitting the PING i’500’s, we struck up a conversation, he offered to let me hit them and in turn I did same. He told me something that hit what I felt on the 700’s, he could not feel the position of the head on the swing and of course, too light. I did notice when I struck hit his ‘500’s well , the length and height of the shots were about the same as my ‘700’s plus I could feel the position of the head. ‘Here is my question, is there heavier graphite shafts than 92? If I make the heads heavier how much would that affect the shaft flex? If I get heavier shafts what will it do to the overall club feel? Am thinking of upgrading to the G-425’s and passing the G-700’s to the wife since she hits her short irons about 10myards longer than her G’LE’s.

Sorry, it's still HTTR to me !!!!

The battle for the gamer spot continues My current gamer leads in the distance control PIPER C leads in direction control Feel, it's a tie Don't know if am bragging or complaining !!!!

Last one and once again at the Phoenix Open: I was assigned to the driving range, I loved it! the stands behind the players were packed, it was incredible to see the players hit what to me were perfect shots,,,, little by little they all left to play. Out of the blue once again Mr. Fuzzy Zoeller walks to the driving range, he had not made the cut, his caddie set his clubs down and he begun hitting shots, asking his caddie questions. Suddenly these two little girls, must of been 12-14 scream his name asking for his autograph, one appeared to be of the Philippines while the other was black, there's reason I say their ethnic appearance. Fuzzy screams back at the,. "come over here! run, the mean security guy can't catch you !!!" one of them takes off towards him, she runs to him and gives him a hug, Fuzzy looks at me and says "She is my daughter, long story", by then the second is there too, I ask me him "Your daughter too?", he smiles at me and gives me a thumbs up. He let those two girls hit several balls with his clubs, then he takes two brand new gloves, signs them and hands them to the girls. The smile on those girls as they walked away was incredible. He just turned around and started hitting balls again, I wanted to walk up tp him but was sent to another spot on the course.

After further review,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, It's a tie, Carl Spacker and the Dalai Lama
