  Some golfers drive used cars so they can have better quality golf clubs.

  I'll be playing Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday--basically all the days left until classes start up again. Unfortunately it's expensive now as the snowbirds have started to flock out to Tucson, but I need to get my fix in before reality sets back in.

  My roomy in college played on the Jr. PGA tour and he used that putter so I copied.
  I proved it's the user and not the equipment that makes the difference.

  One of the better golfers where I played growing up used that generic "putt lefty or righty" putter....and he was deadly with it.....he was a 5 handicap.
  
  I was down to a 2 handicap just out of high school using Golden Bear clubs....I still carry the 3 wood (1986)

  I used my old mans Wilson Staff FG17's and a bullseye putter and laminate woods until I could afford my own set. I got pretty good with the fg's. I tried to hit them last year and they were harsh lol. To anyone who says golf clubs don't matter has never hit a set of butterknives

  Has any one seen all these signings Nike is getting. Got Stanley and Watney the other day and are waiting to confirm the details of Rory. That's huge for Nike.

  85% less golf (you'll drop golf and take up tennis .... you and your wife can play together)
  60% less sleep (get use to it)
  70% less sex (good news it does increase ov er time)
  70% less out with the bros ( it get worse with time and more kids)
  50% less hot meals (it get better as the kid get older)
  80% more time at home (find a home hobby for the next 20 years)

  Got in a round today down here in N. Myrtle. It was roughly 43 degrees w/ 30mph wind gusts. It was fairly miserable...lol!

  Leave tomorrow for the annual SW FL Senior Collegiate Championship which OSU (myself and partner) has won 3 straight years over the team from WVU. This year UNC has a team entered. We will abolutely butt rape the Tar Heels. Also known as the annual drunkathon.

  Sadly sounds like 3 weeks until driving ranges open up here. I know down in Cincy temps are around 40-50 this time of year, while here we we're still lucky to break freezing right now. Ground is still frozen
• Tiernan

  FL trip was epic this year...5 new courses in 5 days all along the gulf coast.

  $8 for every 30 minutes and I don't like hitting woods and drivers in enclosed spaces like that

  Played Auglaize out in Defiance today, shot an 87 which isn't too bad. Was a lot crisper on Tuesday when I shot 39 on the front at Heatherdowns
• oberhaus

  

  Sure was sloppy there. Almost every drive backed up. Lol.
• oberhaus

  

  2 rounds in the books. Shot better the second then the first. If that continues next round then it's a trend. I'm just looking for improvement each round.

  Didn't that one almost plug? And I think the tires spun a bit on that one Par 3 on the back

  Had a horrible day at Franklin Valley in Jackson. I hate the course, and always say i'm not going back, but I always do just to confirm my hatred.
