Back after a long hiatus, life happens. Lost my wife, remarried and at 75 relocated from Bucks County PA to The Villages in Central Florida in April. Playing 2-3 times a week on the executive courses (excourse) and still using the set of Wishon 730CL's that funkyjudge built for me at the end of 2012. I've dallied with several different set ups since then, but no clubs perform better  than the 730CLs for my particular lack of talent. 

Currently using an Odessey Stroke Lab V-line CS putter and Srixon (yellow) soft feel balls. 

 

Sorry to hear about your wife but glad you were able to remarry.  My father was from Tamaqua PA.  My wife and I lived in the Villages for 8 years and just moved back to Va.  It was a great place if you do not get to involved in the politics.  Have a great time playing golf.

Thanks, we are both enjoying everything TV has to offer. I avoid politics on all levels, so that's a non starter for me! May I asked why you returned to the frozen tundra?

It's good to have friends in common.  Bill is director of the Georgia Golf Performance Academy that is based both at Bridgemill as well as Towne Lake Hills.  I'm sure he would like to reconnect with you as well.  I look forward to meeting you when you get in the area.

Family and friends plus we were born and raised here.  A lot colder in the Norfolk Va. area but we like it.

Fl. is a great place to lower your handicap.  Plenty of golf weather to be had.

I'm just north in Roswell.  Let me know if you ever make it up this way.  I'm not a member anywhere, but I carry a 10.3 handicap. I don't get to play as much with 2 young kids!

Hello!

I've been playing golf for over 30 years (I'm in my 40s). My handicap is 5. 

I love golf because it is a game that cannot be beat. Golf has been important throughout my life and has opened many doors for me. 

I live in Raleigh, North Carolina. I do not have a home course. I try to play one round per month and play all over. I practice regularly on the simulator in my office though. 

Year round golf is the best thing about our region. Dormant Bermuda grass and spring pollen is the worst thing about our region.

I am a lawyer. I used my AIM name from college as my username. 

[Bogeys ov]

I have been playing golf(drinking beer in a golf cart) since I was 15. But I have only started taking it seriously the last 5yrs. My GHIN index is 10.7

As a former college athlete I love how it keeps the juices flowing and gets me out of the house. 

For the Forums and the reviews. It's one thing for a friend to tell you but it's a different ball game when you can get an outside opinion

I'm from lake Wylie SC, my home course is River Hills Country Club

The best is the opportunity to play year round! The downfall is that the course doesn't become great until may-June due to the Bermuda grass

Work in the wine/beer & spirits industry 

Because I make A LOT of bogeys!!
