But the bigger wheels are prob an advantage on the course, and I'm sure the brake on that is super secure too. Great job!

Thanks for this!  I actually sent it out on its maiden voyage today, and am very happy with it!

I like the foot clamping brake too. 

Already have some accessories ordered for it.

Whoa there now.  I'm no engineer, and certainly not on the level of @EnderinAZ !!! 🙃

 

 I do like the inflatable wheels better than the plastic ones though.

Traveling through ATL sucks.  That is all. Sad part is that the 85/285 "bypass" had 7 separate accidents within 3 miles (probably all as a chain effect) and this was the least delayed option. 😕

Never, ever a good time to travel through atl.  And weekends are also full of accidents and sometimes lane closure for construction.

I was a teenager when we moved to Atlanta in ’66 and except for three years in the US Army and four years I spent in Charlotte I lived in or around Atlanta until I retired three years ago. I’ve lived south, downtown, northwest and northeast of the city. I drove site-to-site as a part of my job, and I think I’ve spent a couple of years just sitting in traffic. Every year the traffic has gotten worse and in every direction.

I moved to just outside of Athens, GA when I retired and I do not miss Atlanta traffic

So tonight I am wondering what college sports eligibility I might have left even though I am in my 60's.  I played 4 years of baseball but I have some hope to try out for a college golf team - because I was reading an article tonight about Deion Sanders kid who is a safety for Colorado playing his SIXTH college season starting this fall.  They didn't go into detail how this 6 season thing works since the article was 99% about him declaring bankruptcy to avoid paying out a lawsuit.  If I can figure it out I might get to play free golf while taking some courses that interest me.  Wish me luck!!  😁

College players typically have 5 years to play 4.  But if they had an injury and qualify, they can get a 6th year.  But players in the Covid era also get an extra year regardless whether they played that year or not.   I believe there is a Minn player actually getting an 8 th year due to injuries.

That is so cool!  Volunteer caddy must be interesting for sure!  How do you get selected and do they let the players interview you?

Im just supplying yardage books, bibs and other necessities to the caddies! There is a caddy program you can apply for and potentially get on the bag for a player if selected.

Someone mentioned a reflection UV umbrella for walking. So I went to Amazon and found this.  I think it may also help me to keep club a bit lower in my backswing.   What do yall think?

Not reflective no but I reckon it’d do a good job of keeping you dry. Worked for centuries for the Chinese 🤣
