silver & black Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Depends on the slope for the course you play, could be anywhere from 6- 12 Thank you. It seems I was pretty close with what I thought, which was 9-12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhuck Whooker Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Confess? Ok, I'm bald, there, I said it. Oops this is supposed to be golf related. I can't hit a good shot when the beer cart girl is watching. Sorry, but its true. Respectfully,DHUCK WHOOKER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp0rtsfan86 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Once tried getting into a lower flight by posting a score I never put in the system because it was so bad and I stopped truly counting. Still was in the better flight by .1 handicap index. hate playing with golfers that duff the ball. Takes me out of rhythm.

WelshNick Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 I carry my 7-iron 135 yards, on average. I am always the shortest hitter in any male group I play in, generally I shoot the lowest number. I've spent 3 years of lessons trying to perfect my long-game swing. I've probably spent a total of 10 hours working on my short-game in that time. (Though I practice putting almost daily. It can be done indoors, why not?) If I had children of my own, I'd be putting a golf club in their hands just after the birth. I'd have a cigar in one hand and a childs putter in the other, ready to hand it over and start ingraining proper technique:) (Isn't that how you grow your own Tiger/Rory?) This season I want to break 80 more than once, I have no plan on how to achieve this beyond more of the same practice routine. If I had ready access to a launch monitor I'd find myself using it, eventually, to fit myself for glove, shoes and tees. I'm a golf-nerd who doesn't know when to stop.

Undershooter Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I confess that I do not practice near enough. I also confess that I'm an idiot who prefers to hit the cool shot that makes me look like a "player" than the smart one. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it screws me. A prime example is the soul sucking 86 filled with bad decisions this passed Sunday. Saterday, one day earlier, I shot 68 and had it all "figured out."

BIG STU Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I learned slowly to get over my ego after aging. I am straighter than ever I think that is due to age finally slowing down my fast hands. But I am shorter but everyone says I am long for my age. I hit the driver about 250 at sea level now with roll out. I don't practice enough to be as good as I once was but have learned to accept it and plod along. But with age comes wisdom and my course management skills have improved. I putt ok and have to remind myself that I don't practice putting 2 or 3 hours everyday like I used to. But I put it in perspective I am physically able to play whenever I can and that says a lot. I know folks my age and a little older that are not able to play for health reasons. So now I am thankful for every day that I am able to get out and play and my screw up don't bother me that much any more Driver ---- Callaway Big Bertha Alpha Speeder 565 R flex- 5W TM V-Steel Fubuki 60r--- 7W TM V-Steel UST Pro Force Gold 65R----- 9 W TM V Steel TM MAS stiff---- Irons 2015 TM TP CB Steel Fiber 95 R--- GW Callaway Mack Daddy 2 52* shaft unknown junk pile refugee.

Kor.A.Door Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I confess that I sometines take my 8 iron and flip it over and play it right handed, that's because I have to because the left handed shot sucked, and it forces me to hit the next one right handed. I should video it sometime that would be cool for you all to see Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would always get upset after a bad shot. But with age I have come to accept the bad shots better, and I know that with more age, more will come! . I look around at the guys that play frequently and I see guys that won't be playing much longer; several have quit the last few years because of health.

TheCommonHacker Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Hi I'm Hacker, and I have issues....haha First confession. I wait for all groups inside 450, just to be safe. 2nd. I know that no club will fix my game, but I will never let my wife know. 3rd. I never count my "should'ves" when golfing alone. Meaning if I miss a putt that I should have made, I always count it as a make. 4th. Gimmes have ruined my chance of ever winning the club. I can't make a 2 footer ever.
