  1. As a former musician and long-time music lover, with a fairly wide musical taste, there's still no way I'm going to be interested in what the guy in the cart next to me wants to play through his crappy little bluetooth speakers at that particular moment, when I'm trying to hit a shot. Simple solution. Wear your crappy bluetooth-quality earphones, and spare us your musical taste---or lack thereof. And I promise to do the same.
  2. Years ago I suffered with the occasional, but intense, golf elbow. I had a book of stretches and found one that looked promising. It's pretty simple. Get on the floor (carpeted!) on your hands and knees. Turn your hands around, fingers facing towards you, flat on the floor. Gently lean back towards your heels until you get a nice stretch. I usually do it in 3 steps, about 20 seconds each, leaning back a little more each time. Since I've been doing this, a couple times a week, and before going to play golf, I have had absolutely no issues with golf/tennis elbow. None! My physical therapist says I'm stretching the ligaments in my arm and forearm that will tend to prevent inflammation in the elbow region. Try it and see if it works for you.
  3. I'm 74 and still play Stiff shafts and play to a 9-10 (though they're in the middle of the Stiff spectrum---e.g. Project X Stiffs tend to be a little too stiff). I think my driver swing speed is in the middle to high 90's. But I think the main thing is how you swing, and where do you tend to put the most energy. I've seen guys who swing "slowly" and very fluidly throughout the swing who seem to do well with the softer shafts, but if you're a little aggressive on the downswing (I am), you may still do well with a Stiff shaft. And then, of course, there's the kick point which can make a difference in how efficiently you apply energy to the clubhead...Agree with the guys who say, see a fitter.
