    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    I go to my version of the stack and tilt when I start hitting too many fat shots.....just keeps things simple keeping your weight well forward. After yesterdays bad round.....likely going to use it more again tomorrow.

    Fairway mats

    Golf is not about enjoyment.....fool. It's about....stuff.....and clubs....and acting proper.

    I played today and..(Rolling) -originally created by JohnnyDee

    Went in early today to hit on the field.....absolute crap. The last couple of balls I started tucking my right elbow.....shazam. Best round I've had in months.

    Fairway mats

    Yep, there needs to be a better rules clarification on the use of winter mats....totally agree. As per comment about non-qualifiers while using a mat.....we are doing it at one of my courses because the mats are required to be used......can't run a qualifier using a mat at another course because...

    Fairway mats

    Obviously you don't like mats, hence the Mickey Mouse comment. So.....if the ground is muddy as hell and grass is scarce "real golfers" should just plow ditches and rip the course to pieces?

    Fairway mats

    You have a right to your opinion. It's just not worth worrying about while playing on muddy yucky ground.....in my opinion of course. Two of the courses I play on require the use of fairway mats. If you are using a fairway mat and the ball rolls off the mat.....I've seen online where you are...

    Fairway mats

    There is a skill to it.....leaving one side of a Spurk higher than the other helps. Another advantage of the cheapie mat on the smooth side....it has an area that allows the ball to stay in place unless it's really slanted.

    TV - What Are You Watching?

    Oh.....could it be? I hate to hope...knowing it will likely suck compared to the original.....but.....I'm a golfer, so hoping is kind of weak point with me. Watch the video clip... Is there a season 2 of Firefly? AI Overview No, Firefly never officially had a second season, but after years...

    Fairway mats

    There is NO reason to secure a cheapie mat......just hit the bloody ball first. At that point.....it doesn't matter what mat you use.

    Fairway mats

    I've got a Spurk, and a cheapie plastic mat. I prefer the cheapie mat. I just don't know why every course in the "mud zone" don't use them during the winter. Likely as usual.....golfers don't like change.

    Age for seniors

    What about all the "other" people who do good work and work under stress? I can't imagine the crap that somebody at the tills at places to Asda have to put up with. Why are some people singled out for extra benefits? If some age group at the golf clubs get a "benefit".....like with seniors at...

    Age for seniors

    I agree, and I'm a senior. But then again.....why do NHS, police, firefighters etc etc get discounts at so many places?

    Lockers, Pro's and Con's

    I have a full locker at one club....leave a couple of things in it. Other club a half locker....leave a couple of things in it. Not going to next year......pretty useless for me. Now, if a club were to plan ahead of time and had good ventilation holes on the front of the locker AND a small pipe...

    Old Man Yardages

    I went for a fitting to get Mizuno HL irons last Spring. I took my Eleven irons with me....I got higher flight and more spin with the Eleven irons....still have the 8-pw and will likely replace them with 6-pw soon.

    Random Irritations

    Days of water on the ear....or whatever. Noisy squishy noise. My mom always said to put in a drop of alcohol to dry out the ear. So....they don't seem to do alcohol around these parts so i had my wife put in a few drops of gin. It worked.....the wife isn't happy that I was right. Plymouth as...
