re: Graduation gift for nephew

I'd buy him a watch. My youngest is a Junior in high school and instead of a Senior ring he wanted a watch so I bought him a nice Seiko watch that he will be presented with at the rind ding ceremony. ...

[quote]for attempting to qualify for the US Open. He's no where near that level at this time.[/quote]
Any golfer with a hanidcap index of 1.4 can enter a US Open qualifying tournament. If I was that good, I'd try too. Charlie tried to pre- qualify for the Cognizant Classic which was an actual PGA...

Charlie Woods isn’t a golf phenom like his dad.[/quote]
I'll admit it, and what's your point? Jack Nicklaus' son wasn't as good as his dad, doesn't mean they are bad golfers, just that their dad's ...

[quote]I can see your point. I guess the PGA is going to highlight the bombs and not show Kevin Kisner who averages a 264 carry of the tee.[/quote]
If Kevin Kisner was leading the tournament he would be highlighted but he's tied for 98th and most likely won't make the cut so he will not be shown....
re: Where is your favorite place to travel in blue ridge or smokey mountains areas?
Posted by dek81572 on 5/1/24 at 10:48 am
Went for the first time last year in June. We stayed in a cabin in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Its a tourist trap area but I didn't mind, the crowds weren't bad and the weather and scenery were awesome. Drove an ATV through the Smokey Mountain National Park and saw several bears, some were ...

We went to the Smokey Mountains last year in June. Stayed in a cabin between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg,TN. Went to Dollywood which was the cleanest and nicest amusement park I've ever been to. Did a few touristy things in Pigeon Forge, walked across the suspension bridge in Gatlinburg, took an ATV...
re: What Gap club are you using

Sim2 Titanium 5 wood adjusted to more of a 4 wood loft, 16.5*
Sim2 7 wood 21*
Callaway Rogue 9 wood- 24*
My 5 iron and 9 wood carry about the same, 195 yards but I hit my 9 wood much higher so it doesn't have as much rollout which is good if I'm trying to hit and stick the green. It's the same...

re: New vs Used Clubs
Posted by dek81572 on 4/25/24 at 3:21 pm
I would be leery buying clubs off of ebay, there are a lot of fakes out there. My son's friend bought a Scotty Cameron putter for a couple hundred bucks and it ended up being a fake and there are countless stories of this same thing with different brands. I wouldn't buy off of ebay. I don't know whe...

I was given my Great Grandfathers clock he received for being a Pioneer corn seed salesman for 50 years in Minnesota.

It will more than likely be close, that's why I'm not going. I've played the course and went to the Shell Houston Open when it was held at The Golf Club of Houston, formerly Redstone. It's super long and it's a tough walk with the heat. Long walks ...
