re: Anyone play old man golf?
Posted by Tornado Alley on 10/5/26 at 1:54 pm to DarkDrifter
I've never hit woods well off the deck or tee, really. :lol:
Here are my current distances on my clubs:
4H - 170-180
7I - 140-150
9I - 115-130
I'm thinking of upgrading from my old Ping G5 4H (22 degrees loft) to a PXG 7W or 9W. I also have strong interest in the 11W but I think I can hit my 7I well enough already and I don't think I'll get much more distance there.
I wonder what the gaps would look like? AI has them all over the place.
Any thoughts on these clubs?

I think there are cheaper options out there.

Would a 7W be easier to control on mishits? I’m currently playing a very old 4H I get 175 from and I hit it well.

I guarantee Adidas will make stripes have patterns they shouldn’t or end before they’re supposed to.

The reason I’m not buying a 7W or 9W now is I don’t think I need them. I get similar distance with other clubs already.

I’m working on mine.
Gotta have ‘em:
4H
4I (for punches)
7I
9I
AW
56 (for bunkers)
P
Really wanna get a 7W and 9W. Not sure how necessary they are though.

I played old man golf 9 today. Hit well off tee and fairway. Had a very nice controlled and smooth swing. Consistently got 170-180 with 4H and 150 with 7I and straight.
Buuuuuuuuttttt . . . I couldn’t chip or putt for shite. I am talking four putts, chips over green, etc.
Oh well.

re: If you use a hybrid, what model are you happy with.

Very old Ping G5 4H (22 degree).
Very happy with this club. Can consistently get it 170-180 off tee and deck, and mostly straight.

I played old man golf yesterday on the range and followed Golf Sidekick principles.I (tried to) hit 70-80% smooth swings with the 4H, 7I, and 9I. I averaged 165 or so with the 4H, 135 or so with the 7I, and about 115 with the 9I. I'm definitely not hitting it as long as I used to. I was getting 200 with the 4H just last month. But most of those shots were not on target. I was getting 160 with the 7I and 130 with the 9I last month too, but those were largely off target too. But, nevertheless, I hit the ball well yesterday and it went straight, or not too far left or right, for most of the session. I still don't think I'm swinging at the right strength level. It feels strange.

Anyone here use an orange whip? I'm looking to get a good smooth tempo down and then have it translate to actual clubs. Not looking to increase speed.
Orange Whip - thoughts? Looking for help with a smooth, easy, repeatable tempo and swing

I'm going all in on the Golf Sidekick method. Y'all already know where I stand: general suckage. I'll report back with results. Going to hit the range/practice green once weekly and get at least 9 holes in once weekly.
It’s been Pete’s defense for a more than a few years now

And they still suck.
Maybe it’s a feature and not a bug.

I know people who flat out cannot hit an iron to save their lives, either hitting the hozzle, taking a foot of turf with them, hitting worm burners, etc. And with how forgiving drivers are now, you can get away with a lot of flaws in your swing. However, as with everything on this board, I'd take that 260-280 estimation with a grain of salt.
I don't mind your doubt and definitely have a flawed swing. I think I come down too much over the top.
This is why I'm interested in old man golf because I'm tired of shooting 112 with 5 OBs. frick that shite.

I cannot comprehend how you drive the ball 260-280 which would leave you at most a 9 iron on a 6500 yard course and you barely break 100. In some case you're talking about a flip wedge. If you are driving the ball 280 you must have some sort of athletic ability.
Yes, I am pretty athletic.
I top a lot of balls and sometimes get them fat with irons. I sometimes slice the ever loving shite out of balls. My slice is so bad I swear to ya the ball curls back at me like a boomerang. I can't chip and putt for shite generally. I often frequently go OB with driver off the tee.

Thanks. My driver was once again consistent yesterday. Didn’t go OB at all. Still landed around 260-280.
It’s the rest of the shots that were hard haha.
I didn’t try OMG with driver this time. Maybe next.

My feelings ain’t hurt. :lol:
So I tried golf sidekick/old man golf on two holes yesterday. Went 5W off tee on a short par 4. Made a bogey. Next hole was an even shorter par 4 and I went 7i, 7i, 8i chip, par putt for par.

No steroids in 2024. Just Lane Kiffin refusing to give the ball to our runningbacks.
We ran 35 times for 141 yards (4.0 YPC). Here is a breakdown of our rushers:
- Jaxson Dart (QB) - 14 carries
- Micah Davis (WR) - 11 carries
- JJ Pegues (DT) - 6 carries
- Domonique Thomas (RB) - 3 carries
- Matt Jones (RB) - 1 carry
That's right. 31 of our 35 carries were by non-runningbacks.
frick you, Lane Kiffin. We could have run the ball that day with Bentley or any of our other RBs. We had six RBs active and dressed that day to play!
