Why not? Golf like trading is a game where you strive to continually improve. It's not costing me anything to follow the thread. If I get to the point that the thread becomes a waste of my time I'll quit following it.

When you say 250 carry is the ball rolling out much?

Are you in a part of the country that allows you to play all year. Golf is done for the year in the frozen north. I'll head for Arizona in a month or so.

I don't get a lot of roll due to fairway conditions here. Generally cut a little too high.---


Yes, although it gets cool and the courses will be closed if it gets sub 40.
 
Golf is a sport, much like bowling, where you can play and try to better your game throughout your entire life.Yesterday I again worked on shallowing the club and bringing the face back to square at impact. Now that I have the speed that I want, it is actually fairly easy to shallow the club out with the right path to the ball and hit as straight as I want.
 
I believe that I have reached what I would call my satisfactory limit. I am now swinging at a minimum of 106 MPH with a maximum of low 120's depending on how much shoulder turn I am getting. I have altered by swing path to remove any slice and add draw and now my lead shoulder has stopped aching. I think this is because I have found the right path and am not swinging over the top anymore. My swing is now where I want it to be. I am surprised it only took a few months after the second hip replacement top get it there. I am likely swinging well enough most of the time, not scoring well enough yet, to be on the Tour of Champions but would need sponsors and tourney results etc and pay the fee to have a shot. -----Right now though, I just need to get the short game in order and start getting in the 70's consistently. ----Make no mistake--I know I am not good enough overall to be on the tour----but I am a lot closer to being good now. --Very exciting---

Enter a local competition, tell us your name and we can verify for ourselves whether you are Champions Tour "ready". If you break 90, I'll buy you a case of beer.

Mods: please move this post to the comedy/entertainment forum.
Thank you in advance.
 
Had a slight set back today as I hit a small slice on 3 drives. I corrected it with returning to full shoulder turn and emphasized starting the swing with my lower body.

If it persists, try getting that swing speed up to 130 MPH and focus on hitting it a little farther.
