Nothing like losing balls in an unmowed fairway.

That's worse than losing them in the water!

My golf swing is magnetically drawn towards water.

Couldn't find the "Arthritis" thread - ha, I guess that's rant #1! - but have had to change my grip recently from interlock to overlap due to an uncooperative last finger (on the right hand, as a righty).

 

Well maybe it'll work out for the better!

THE WEATHER!!!!  18 hole match play tournament today at 1:30 current weather is 63, cloudy and wind is gusting to 25.

So I usually keep a jug of creamer in the fridge at work. In fact I had a new unopened one here last Friday. Came in this morning to an empty jug of said creamer. Messed with my morning routine.... don't think I've been in such a great mood. Can't wait for the next shift to start so I can track down the creamer jacker.

Fewer things are more aggrevating than the continued total ineptness of Boston mass transit. How they can take something so simple as people moving and screw it up so badly on a nearly daily basis is beyond comprehension...

The fact that they charge multiple hundreds of dollars per month for such crappy service is like a kick in the balls..

Replying to myself. Got to do an unannounced fire drill today. Made my point.

Not sure if this falls into a rant topic, but I was thinning all of my irons today. Centered but just low on the face, head high bullets. But that PING G driver was reaching the trees again.

Sitting on the runway in Toromto now for 25 minutes and just announced another 12 minutes before takeoff.

 

So much for a leisurely change of plans in JFK

My Ping G400 Max driver shows a crack on the backside of the hosel where the shaft fits in. A friend of mine was looking at it  today and said, "did you know this thing has a crack in it"!? Well I'll be heading back to Dick's today and gawd knows how long it will be  before they send me a new head.

  That sucks.

Yep and that means I will be teeing off with my 4+ wood for now.  I hit it pretty darn good however I will be giving up a ton of yardage.

Bad news, no other driver in the garage you can use?

I feel myself slowly losing interest in golf... not sure if it is the crap weather or what. Was at the range today and it was blowing like 15 knots... it's 50° outside, and unenjoyable golfing weather.

 

The lack of a reputable fitter, the local jack asses, and lack of time is wearing on me.

 

On a good note. That driver...tho.

Nope however I just got back from a trip over to Dicks.  My friend who works there called Ping and they are sending me a new driver.  My buddy loaned me a demo until the new one arrives so I'm good to go!

Actually that's not a bad wait. You should try flying out of LaGuardia - I spent many hours on the Tarmac there.

Glad it worked out for you.   Now just stop hitting the ball so hard so you don't break the next one!

SUNNY, SUNNY, SUNNY, no wind. Lots of golf. These 85* days are just unbearable.  When am I ever going to find the time to do yard work?

Can't/won't "like" rant this Bud... I AM concerned about ya Bro...Perhaps a hiatus is in order...? Maybe go fishing for a while and get a new perspective on the fun-factor. Just flippin' relax Man! What we do for "fun" should be f-ing FUN dammit! Whether it's golf, fishing, horse shoes, bowling, darts...whatever!

 

OK, now I'm done ranting on myself (jk...  ), but to you...Chill! A time-out may be in order

Just a phase. Take up another activity like knitting, or start watching ESPN 8, the Ocho... Maybe pick up one of the sports there like dodge ball 😁😂🤣.

For me, its not so much that I am losing interest in golf, but rather that I should stop making advanced plans to play golf.   Due to my health problems, it is difficult for me to do a lot of walking on the course.   Given free use of a golf cart, I am fine playing 18 holes on any given day.   I have long since stopped my participation in outings or trips that schedule more than one round on any given day.   But given the amount of rain lately, I show up only to find that play is cart path only.   By the middle of the back nine, I am struggling and my play shows it.   I totally understand the need for cart path only and its not the fault of the course that I have a health problem.  It just means that this may be my last year for participation in my senior associations and will limit my play to casual rounds with understanding friends or going to the course as a single.

[Kenny B]

Not so much a rant as it is being a little sad.  I played with my guys at the club on Monday, and we are playing again in two hours today.  We are all about the same skill level. but the oldest guy (76) is having a difficult time keeping up with us.  Seems like this year he has been walking slower than last year, which wasn't too speedy anyway.  He is a straight hitter, but also the shortest among us.  On Monday he told me, and only me, that he is thinking about maybe moving up to the senior tees.  I think it would be a good move, and I also think that he has been sticking with us at the Men's tees a little too long just because he's stubborn.  I know I am.  Moving up to the senior tees doesn't really make much difference on most holes; a couple of longer par 4's and most par 3's would mean easier shots.  I'm not sure how the other guys will respond, but I'm going to suggest we play from the Senior tees today just to see how much difference it makes in his game.

Update: We didn't play from the Senior tees today because the guys only wanted to play nine holes. However, we will do it next week.

Since we only played nine holes, I used today to play the Hard Rock Challenge. See that thread for results.

Why is it, when you're humming along in life, blissfully ignorant, it comes along and kicks you in the nads?

Hey KennyB, I moved up to the Senior Tees when I turned 65. Much more enjoyable.
