red tees?

No, blues at The Dells in Northport. Pretty easy track.

The 67 at Purcell Farms was a better round IMO.

How in the frick do you mfers get to play so much golf?

12 rounds
High 95
Low 73
Current Handicap 7.7

Broke 80 for the first time last year. Have hit 82 a few times this year, but can't dip back down. Last 3 rounds have been in the 90s which isn't great.

All of my buddies are getting new clubs, which has me itching real bad for some. It's basically an arms race at this point.

Have a trip coming up in October to Capitol Hill.

I play at least three times a week when it’s dry. Flexible work hours and kids are getting old.

What tees are you playing from? Sounds like the wrong ones.

Much as I’d rather be playing the tips, back surgery and just plain getting old just doesn’t work back there. More than one hole I couldn’t reach the fairway or over the water on par 3’s now.

Always play age/distance appropriate tees. I’m one of the few guys in our 20-30 man regular group that doesn’t play the senior tees, because I do still hit it 240-250 regularly off the tee. That means around 6000 yards is where I need to be. If I hit 2 perfect shots I can reach a 500 yard par 5, but most of the time I don’t try, not worth it.

I’m playing just above senior tees.
About 6000 yards. I play in tournaments and that’s about the distance that my handicap group is put in.

My average drive is 244.
But every now and then I can really smoke one. I’ve actually hit one over 300 this summer and then hit 2/290 and one/280.

I’ve always struggled with being a scooper/flipper/early extender.

I’ve hit more practice balls than anyone I’ve ever known. I spent hours on the range and this summer I’ve spent hours putting and chipping to.

I just suck. :-)

Won’t matter if your swing path is wrong.

I hit 6-10 balls generally before teeing off, walk out on the course and generally get good strikes on the ball. But I have a good swing path and when I’m on rhythm with my swing speed I’m pretty accurate. 50+ years of playing.

I’m guessing, but from what you’re saying I’d bet you’ve got at least one issue, sway on the backswing. That one thing causes more swing problems than anything else I can think of.
