  1. old timers played with wood woods and balata balls that weren't always round. They didn't hit it 300 or rarely did. At the UM Wolverines golf course, number 9 has a pond 300 out and Nicklaus was famous for knocking one in. No one else had. Ben Hogan didn't hit it 300 but played pretty good...."Admittedly that's just one drive, on one hole with particular weather and ground conditions. But it does give us a reasonable clue. A few years earlier, in a 1949 article contained within Time Magazine, the author states that Ben Hogan hit his driver 265 yards – that agrees pretty closely to Trent Jones' study in 1953."
  2. There's a dark and a troubled side of life There's a bright and a sunny side too Though we meet with the darkness and strife The sunny side we also may view Keep on the sunny side, always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day, it will brighten all the way If we keep on the sunny side of life Oh, the storm and its fury broke today Crushing hopes that we cherish so dear Clouds and storms will in time pass away The sun again will shine bright and clear
  3. it will be interesting to see what costco does. their kirkland balls are complete clones of pro V1's and they were sued by titleist. therefore, i don't see them worrying overly about the new regs...and they're very good, cheap balls. My favorite golf experiences are usually best ball tourneys(aka "captains choice"). get a team of friends together and shoot under par. It's a blast to work as a team and bad shots don't cost u cuz another player picks u up. plus the garbage cheats (red tees, a throw, mulligans) are fund raisers for good causes....throws are hilarious. I once hit a 5 iron to 6 feet. my buddy got to the green, picked up the ball, took a step with a pivot foot, dropped the ball in the hole and said "Nice hole in one, Bill!"
  4. hey if it works for trump....
  5. Come away with me in the night Come away with me And I will write you a song Come away with me on a bus Come away where they can't tempt us with their lies
  6. get everyone to agree to the double bogey rule.....I didn't need it the other day but often do need it. having a bad hole?....put the ball in your pocket, take a double and smile as u move on to the next hole! also, based on some comments, hit down on irons. if you're topping them, move the ball back in your stance. btw, here's the new grounding rule: clear as sandy mud https://golf.com/news/2019-rules-changes-to-know-bunker/
  7. This is telling 250-275 aint chopped liver. my driver is 225-250. shot 87 last round out. Made a few putts....
  8. if he's an actual lefty, leave him be that I'm so left side dominant i can barely swing Righty...I just tried with a yardstick. have him try. see which move he prefers. no club needed....

  10. WHY did he do that? S&M?
  11. the new tech makes a diff. my new clubs are much more accurate. higher ball flight but shorter distance for me. btw, a 5 iron loft is now what a 6 iron was 20 years ago. I'll take accuracy and precision over an extra 10 or even 15 yds every time
  12. the place where I come from is a small town they think so small they use small words -but not me I'm smarter than that I worked it out I've been stretching my mouth to let those big words come right out I've had enough, I'm getting out to the city, the big big city I'll be a big noise with all the big boys there's so much stuff I will own and I will pray to a big god as I kneel in the big church big time I'm on my way-I'm making it big time big time I've got to make it show yeah big time big time so much larger than life big time I'm going to watch it growing big time my parties all have big names and I greet them with the widest smile tell them how my life is one big adventure and always they're amazed when I show them round my house, to my bed I had it made like a mountain range with a snow-white pillow for my big fat head and my heaven will be a big heaven and I will walk through the front door big time
  13. broken (1/2) tee for that shot. it's really only a psych thing imo. should be taking a healthy divot from 100 yards....
  14. anybody want a set of TM RSi1 irons. left handed, stiff shafts 6-AW. $125. Excellent condition. just got cobra LTD irons and woods on a big sale. I bought 1000 balls for the club range. reimbursed thru dues....$450, nice collection of balls. The big hitters are actually a prob for our range. They hit thru it and lose balls...
  15. big f'in deal....but i agree she should have pimped him similarly in reply. she didn't. should have asked him a specific question on the constitution. Had it teed up. Next debate I bet we see that.
  16. vivek is a smartass brat concerned about himself only. he's mini trump.. none of this is with the program. u r the supposed victims. we are, in your eyes, the party of elites. who you despise and resent and blame.....
  17. stupid people suck and are dangerous to our country. smart people, even elites, don't suck and can save the country.
  18. 45 cents a ball. I know a guy......btw, I've not played it but I'd bet there are very few commenting that can break 90 from the golds at a course like oak hill.. my point? this is not going to affect the avg player's scores much if any. u still can't buy a game....wedges and putters and skill with them matter much more than drivers for score. top flites still fly far but those rocks suck for score and touch.
  19. that's not typical Of my experience. my course is 6000from the golds. slope rating 71. also the angles are sometimes more difficult from the golds. you score or don't score around the greens or at least I do.
  20. cheats in my groups: no more than a double, 1 mulligan per 18, move the ball one clublegth in same cut but not bunkers, if everyone agrees to give a putt, it's good. and last resort, sometime one or 2 guys say to stop scoring for them.
  21. almost ready for the senior tees. That's ok with me. I use soft balls. keep it in the short grass. they've lightened up some rules this year. u can ground the club in a trap, replace and lift a plugged ball....hell, we have organized mutually agreed upon cheating rules anyway.
