Ridetoeat Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Bought my first set of clubs, Zing 2's in the mid to late 90's and found that my many other hobbies would not leave me with enough focus to take on this game. Also I was far to impatient to make it through the long learning curve and just did not have the necessary calm disposition for it at that time. Sold those clubs to a good friend 10 years later thinking of them as going obsolete. Another ten years later and I bought them back again "he never used them" and began to get really interested with my barely used zing 2's. I hacked at the ball a good bit in 2016 and also bought a new set of the 2014 issue Karsten game improvement clubs and a new G30 driver so that I would not be questioning the equipment as I learned. Helps me to take potential or psychological issues off the table. A new job and back problems took me out in 2017 completely. Now, Spring of 2018 and 53 years old and I still have the back issue but it is mostly manageable and I am semi retired with time at last. Still have my Zing 2 set but I am playing with the Karstens I got in 2016. Started out decent early and have gotten steadily worse With age comes patience though and I do not seem to get discouraged and problems just seem to appear as opportunity to have something to analyze and work on. I'm having fun trying to get better, my back is improving with the extra activity and I am quite pleased with that. Trying to play 2-3 time a week and sometimes hitting balls at local range in between to work on known issues. Hoping to take golfing all the way through my later years to keep me mobile and moving for better health and to facilitate friendships. Just tuning in here cause I like to read, learn from any and every source and enjoy forums on many topics for many years with the various hobbies. Found this place a couple of years ago during the costco golf ball craze. Thanks, Doug...In Madison In. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
