You care enough to keep bringing it up. I’m in my 60’s. I’m never going to shoot 61 again. I accepted that a year after back surgery. If you think you can play and can’t beat an old guy frankly you need lessons.

I couldn’t possibly care less what your handicap is, apparently you’re pretty insecure about that for some reason.

Every good player I’ve ever met doesn’t feel the need to tell everyone how good they are

You’re doing exactly what I said without even realizing it

I don’t know how to state it any more clearly, I’m not good, nor do I care to be.

I’m also not stupid, you posting a 162 mph ball speed drive (that wasn’t a good drive) isn’t the own you think it is. You also don’t hit your pitching wedge as far as Bryson, sorry if that hurts your feelings. Now crawl back to your muni and shoot 95 again nerd

a power fade that carries 290 and rolled out to 320 and only 3 yards off target?

You didn’t carry it 290 with 162 ball speed and 1700 spin

12 launch, 162 ball, 1750 spin should get you between 265 and 270 carry

I used to hit Balata 100 compression. 4 of my aces were 150ish PW with those. I’d happily play with them today.

Biggest problem with them was not spinning it off the green. If you don’t think me, and a half dozen guys I played with couldn’t rack it 320 plus regularly you have no clue at all. One guy in his 50’s could bomb them over 350 all day long. It might be a fairway over, but it was out there.

Assuming this was in the 90s since you were playing with a balata. If someone you played with could "bomb them over 350 all day long," he would have won the Men's Open Division Long Drive Championship 7 times between 91-00.

Maybe you were and were playing with some of the longest drivers in the world or maybe you're misremembering and over estimating you and your friends abilities 25 years ago.

Congrats on almost missing the ball?

I’m definitely jealous of your near miss 8 degree out to in path

I'm with Mingo. Lot of numbers getting dropped in here that are statistically impossible. Maybe you guys don't realize golf shops can adjust simulator settings for different carry number outputs based on your ball speed and they do it to sell you equipment. That's the only way 162 ball speed is carrying 290.
