Golf

[billrunnels]

This time of the year we start thinking about golf here in Minnesota. The first round will be around April 10th. However, planning corrections to the old game or thinking of new golf clubs helps shorten the balance of winter. I can no longer play the game but dreaming about it continues. I envy all who can play even now. If you have a round scheduled today, drive it long and straight.

I'm starting to have to manage some physical issues with arthritis in my lower back. Last season was not good and I hope I can make some adjustments that will enable me to enjoy the game for many years to come. If not, there will be some clubs for sale.

Apr.10th!!!!!! I have to drive 4-5 hours South to be able to golf in April (and I do). Our season usually starts around the last weekend in May and even then there is some snow around the course. Looking to buy a new driver this year

Tried it just once...came upon one of those fountain-thingys that said: "WASH BALLS HERE" So...Needless to say...been banned for life

Golf is something I could never get into. I used to some times get involved, with client days out, golf tournaments for clients etc. so I could see the attraction, but just not 'my thing'.
However, I could smack a ball out to around 250 to 300 yards - nowhere near the direction it was supposed to go, but it went, just the same !!!

Yup, chasing a little egg around the woods and fields trying to put it in a tiny hole always seemed to be lacking purpose. On the other hand as you get older it gets easier and easier to hit the little thing out of sight

 

[Airframes]

Yep, if I wanted to launch something a fair distance, and hit a small spot accurately, I think a mortar would be easier !

I hated golf until I moved here( and to think that during my hatred I was once a few miles from the hallowed grounds of St. Andrews) Once I was bit I would average about 70 rounds per year. When everything hit the fan in '08 and the mill went down, I managed to get in 121 rounds.

 

[mikewint]

ROUND? as in walking "round" the course trying to find where the little egg vanished too?

Hang on to them as long as possible

Ah, but the exercise Mike. Walking 4 miles lugging a bag of clubs and mandatory 6 cans of beer

121 rounds ?
I reckon I'd get them down range, and hit the center of the target, in about 65 seconds - maybe a tad more, allowing for magazine changes !

The past week here has been sunny and low 70's... perfect for golf but I just have not been able to get there.
Thinking of playing hooky from work.

Not sure what I'm going for yet. I bought my last driver, a Taylormade R5 in 2005

This time of the year is a great time to make a set of clubs. I made two sets and I can recommend it as terrific therapy for the avid golfer.
