Quickly back to 13. Even my putting is off. Speed on long putts has been terrible. The weathers been so nice, I've been out there almost every day. I think I am just played out. Found out yesterday I'll be laid up for the next week or so dealing with a bronchial infection (and nico) and even though I'm going to go crazy stuck in the house I think the break will do me good. How've you been playing buddy? BTW I think that amateur you told me about was in Faces in the Crowd in SI last week. About the same as you. Shot an 85, 80 last Saturday Sunday but yesterday, took my son in law out , I shot an 88. OB, Ball in the lake etc. Im thinking of just getting a hooker and saving my gold money for totally one -sided sex. Top it off, Son in law, a former athlete but NO golf skills hits the ball as far as any pro. No kidding. He hits it 310. No short game but once he starts to play a bit... crazy. Outdrove me by 60 yards all day. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been bouncing between a 9 and 11 the last couple seasons and thought I was pretty good. lol No, it doesn't, You're a good player. I get frustrated because I want to get into single digits so bad. It seems like every time I get close though, one part of my game decides to hold me back.. Right now it's the short game.

By the time they'll have the time to work on their games and play as often as we do, their distance will be gone, and they'll be another "I used to hit it xxx yards" guy. They're a dime a dozen. Distance is a great weapon, but the object of the game is to get the ball in the hole faster then your opponent. The guys I hate to play in a match are the short game wizards.

Jet Nut Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 11 hours ago, Jet_Engine1 said: You are always wrong. LOL. That being said, I doubt any of those QBs would be successful with the Jets. And tbh my hopes and expectations for Darnold with this team are waning. Anyway, I can agree to disagree. But Oliver is physically and athletically almost a clone of Donalds size/speed/explosiveness/strength. Physical freaks. Q is athletically JAG. It is what it is. Always wrong, I was talking about Ed Oliver in that post, how did you get to QBs? Changes the Ed Oliver has 5 tackles how? And people agreed with you? I was wrong on Mahomes. I wanted Watson. Think me and @JiF were the only ones. Didnt want Tribiski. SO? Lots of people werent sure about a Mahomes and a trick offense in the NFL and missed. I'm not even saying I don't like him just asking how you can argue Mahomes over Watson at 6. Makes no difference how it ultimately worked out. Was a fair question. Who did you want before the draft? Not today laughing about someone lots of people have to eat crow over. I have and will. Really wanted, not like most who like every QB and then when one hits claim they wanted that QB over all others. So missing on a QB makes me always wrong? LOL guess perfection is the bar Id watch out after reading your Ed Oliver is better than Q rant. You can already see hes more disruptive? Ive watched just about every Bills game. Hes invisible. Did he play in the Jet game? Where Q set up a turnover and was much more disruptive in the 1st half that he player. You see all of this in a guy who has 5 tackles in 4 games without a sack? He may turn into something but no one has seen anything yet. He had 3 sacks in college last season. Q hasnt played and you actually want to compare them? I never compared them. And really, why can't they both be worthy of their spots in the draft? Why can't they both be good Both went high, a few spots apart. NO BIG DEAL. No you have to be right. Brilliant. And I like to argue. Its amazing how many just need to be right and will scream that their guy is the best sight unseen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats to you and your daughters. Daniel Island is really nice. Agree about drafting some more Tigers, unfortunately the ones the Jets have drafted didn’t work out so well (Leggett and Peake). I’m praying for Higgins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing them is like dying from a thousand paper cuts. Thats a strange and hard part mentally to deal with. With the gall bladder surgery I had extensive surgery to my abdominals and have lost weight. So while Im still really flexible I cant generate the torque when I unwind my swing. Ive lost a ton of speed, dont know if I'll ever get it back. I went from hitting my 7 iron around 158-163 yard to 135. Once you accept it and club up everything works. Somehow in all of this I hit my driver short but straight as can be. When I started playing I used to play with a 70+ year old ex golf pro. He hit short, driver was under 175 yds. But he was straight, never off the fairway, and had a unreal short game. Shot mostly in the low 80s, could still shoot in the 70s. Was a real wakeup call how to play, would always tell us, put the driver away, hit a 3 wood, lol He would take our money all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're a relatively new type of iron, specifically designed for players needing more distance. The lofts are really,really strong, but the soles are wider, and heavy enough to get the ball up in the air. Super forgiving also. The guy who won the Net half of our Club Championship plays the Rogue X, and he's a 54 yo with a 7 hcp. The technology available today is amazing, and it can help you if you use it. I picked up a set in June with the matching hybrids, and it feels like I'm cheating. I wish I'd listened to him a year ago when he bought his set. I'm suddenly hitting shots a club to a club and a half longer. The problems start when I miss a green and have to take out a wedge. At this point I'd much rather be in a bunker then have a chip or pitch shot. Incredibly annoying, LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was playing a set of Ping i200s and just switched to Mizuno Hot Metal Pros. They have the smaller look and go FAR. Made the concession to loss of speed, dumped the stiff shafts, had them fitted with graphite Recoil shafts in reg flex. I can get them into the 140s with a 7 on a good swing. I picked them for the look and feel, that Mizuno didn’t have an up charge for graphite shafts. Had the Callaway Rouges a close second, really nice irons. Loss of distance really made me a better player. Concentrate much more to hit a solid shot where I want it. My short game has also been better. Practice bunker and chip shots all the time. I leave the driver in the bag for most of my range work. Play at about a 11-13. All in all is fine with me, just love the game and enjoy it on any level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could shoot a low 80 or a 100. lol What's funny is, I play with some really good players. A scratch golfer and 2 guys who are +4/5's.

Lol, I didn’t take it any way other than what you wrote. I always have said I accept the fact that I’ll never be great, will never play enough to get better than I play. Through it all, at my age, I’m happy that I mostly shoot in the low 80s. Playing consistently helps keep you there without the blowout rounds. I got serious about the time I retired but as I said could care less about my score, just love being out, with friends, enjoying the game and the day 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
