im 62 so 45 is good for me. Plus Ive always choked down about a 1/4in on ever club. just a product of playing dads clubs when they wer to big for me. Any other way is so uncomfortable to me

Yeah I just looked that up. Couple sites say anywhere from 45-48 in standard now and I'm thinking to myself the driver I swing looks longer than pros use so I'm glad you brought that up. I'm gonna look into it some more.

Not that I need to be like the pros but just stating pros on tour who are my size look to swing shorter drivers than I do.

Would've never guessed that. That's interesting.

And isn't he like 6'3? I believe I saw somewhere that Rober Karlsson(6'5) was using a 44" driver a while back and that's when I decided 45" was entirely too long for me. It's easier to hit the center of the club face so I actually feel like I've gained distance.

Yeah either 6'2" or 6'3" I think. You mentioned Karlsson, idk how tall he is but I know it's gotta be well over 6' and if he's swinging 44" then you're right about that.

ETA: Yeah he's 6'5"

Mine has a minor sky mark on it from a day where me and 2 buddies had 4 beers left in the chest when we bought 2 cases. shot 35 on the front and was going good on the back until the beer really hit me. I swung and had a massive sky in 16 or 17 and finally decided to quit. they sucked so they were happy to quit

You need to put an X stiff shaft in that 43incher you are swinging. you brought some thunder.

Is the Baton Rouge Amateur a 36 hole stroke play event, just like most other BREC events? I recall that one of the tournaments was match play, but I didn't know if that was the Baton Rouge Amateur.

TIA
