I love these new AARP rules, especally since i am a member... i really like the " out of bounds" rule, i would like all the homeowners who live on Golf courses to accept this and stop complaining about balls landing in their backyards..."YOU LIVE ON A FREAKING GOLF COURSE FOR GODS SAKE" DEAL WITH IT...

lol martin- I'll never forget one of my buddies getting verbally attacked for shanking a shot off the tee and hitting a lady's house. Her house was only about 30 yds off the tee and about 50 yds from the fairway. It was an unbelievable angle, but he got it done! She came out screaming about what a "shotty" (PG version, as not to offend) golfer he was, if he were able to hit her house! My buddy let her go on for about a minute, and then politely shut her down. We were rolling in the fairway!
She was right, he is a "shotty" golfer, but she lives on a golf course, odds are, sooner or later, she's going to get nailed!

I got a good laugh out of your post! Unfortunately, I already play with a lot of "pre-seniors" who already subscribe to "Rule 3.b.3 (g) -There shall be no such thing as a lost ball"!

IHO,
Hit them ugly, a 46. Put one in the water, got behind a couple of trees, overall just not pretty. Putted very well to just make the score I did.
Looked at the sux thread. ILG is still all over the place with her responses.

Played a quick nine this morning and shot 42 with 3-3 putts. Feeling better than I was at the beginning of the season, which was what, two weeks ago here in MI. lol

Yeah the three putts killed me. I played a course with huge greens and my long irons were not very accurate. My three putts all came from 1st putts of over 50 feet. Tough to get the feel for such long putts so early in the season. I am usually a very good putter. I avg 1-2 three putts a round (18). I haven't played 18 yet, because of the wrist. It is still the same, but having adjusted my grip, seems to be the trick. I'm still adjusting to having to grip so hard with my right hand to insure the left doesn't fly off. I went to the docs and he said my grip strength is maxing out at 25%. Surgery required, but said it isn't going to get any worse if I play this season.

Umhula,
I never get down on my putting until the weather allows for consistent greens. In PA, that usually means early June.
Since you had to change your grip, has it caused you push balls more?

Since you had to change your grip, has it caused you push balls more?The first time out was brutal. Pushes, slices, slashes, and just plain ugliness. Some work at the range and more adjustments have seemed to help. I had to slow down my tempo to insure my hand stays on firmly. Last week I had better feel and was able to play a little more consistently. Just remembering to interlock my fingers is the hardest part. After 20-some years of overlapping, it really does become mindless when gripping, practice routine, etc... Unfortunately, I had to make the adjustment for the sole purpose of being able to play this season. I'm extremely doubtful of any improvement this year, I'm just hoping to play within a couple of strokes of last year. My golf compadres are chomping at the bit. A few actually think they may take some money from me this year! LMMFAO.... Ain't gonna happen!

Umhula,
SOunds like you have really worked hard to make adjustments that will keep you effective. Don't get down with some inconsistency occasionally. A buddy of mine had problems and was also able to adjust, and did pretty well. His grip was totally different, but it did work. He also found that icing it right after playing really helped.

dg - I broke my left forearm several years ago and have plates and screws in both bones. My six year old cracked me right on top of the plate on the inside of my arm and immediately my fingers started having constant tingling, numb sensation and loss of grip. My doc says that he probably moved a nerve and it may be caught up somehow. It hasn't gotten any worse since it happened about six weeks ago now. So the doc says we can wait until golf season is over to open it up to see what's happening, as long as it doesn't get worse. I'll suck it up and play this season, you know how short our season is and if I do anything about it now, I probably wouldn't be able to golf until next year. That is unacceptable to me. There is no pain and I've grown almost immune to the tingling sensation in my fingers. Just another challenge to overcome. You must be ready to hit em...Weather is better. Talk at ya later, Victor
