Here is something I grind over. Tees. It is a simple piece of equipment, but what does it matter in the whole scheme of things? Plastic, wood, brushes, etc??? WHAT GIVES???

My opinion on tees is much like my opinion on other parts of this game. If you believe it works or provides some kind of advantage, then it does. I am going to go through a few different tee constructions and see if something might work better for your game, or MY game…I sure hope so. Read more…

You like certain golfers you do not know. You probably dislike golfers you do not know. You are able to bash or praise with no fear of repercussion.

Nothing is worse for me. I hate to be wet and cold. What is worse, I am not a big fan of wearing “layers” when I play. I typically do not wear a jacket at any time and if I must “bundle up’ I usually only go with a skin-tight turtleneck for warmth. I sacrifice warmth and dryness for range of motion.

Okay, I’ve decided that I should play a “distance” type ball with good feel. I know I play in a climate that reduces distance, but has softer greens that do not demand I spin the ball a ton. Now what? I mean there are 20 different brands of balls that all say the same thing. How do I decide which brand of ball to play? Read more…

The season has turned here in Seattle. I am bundling up to play, but I am soldiering on. I am eying some new stuff in the golf world for my own bag. I know what you are saying, “But you like your stuff you play right now. Don’t you?” Well yeah, but I am a golfer…always on the prowl for the next great thing.

Here is what I am thinking; Read more…

I went back home to visit the family recently and was lucky enough to get a couple of wonderful Fall days to hit the links with Dad. We went to the course I grew up playing and had a great time searching through the trees I used to search through when I was young.

Clubs, Random Thoughts Equipment

“How many clubs can you play with?” Picture this voice coming from my beautiful bride. The one I cherish more than any on this Earth.

But the tone told me the story. Read more…
