    The 60 and over Thread

    Consistency is really important on the course. Being able to switch between different clubs and maintain consistency is something I think a lot of golfers overlook. A couple of swings and you hit driver really great. Then you need a few more practice swings for irons. That looks great when...

    The 60 and over Thread

    Club Champion likes to do fitting with 6 irons because that is where folks begin to struggle. How are the other irons? When I first began playing on a golf course I'd go back to my 7 iron to figure out my swing. It was quite a transition from my back yard to a hilly golf course with small greens.

    The 60 and over Thread

    Half my 45g ladies flex LA Golf iron shafts are black. The other half is white! I bought a bunch of Michelle Wie signature shafts. I can play half a set with either white or black shafts to match my outfit! White is Driver, 8I, Vokey 54/10S, Ping 58/6 TS. Pine meadow PGX with a chrome shaft...

    Ideal Loft

    Simplified, for every ball speed there is an optimum loft. If you don't swing hard enough the ball may fall out of air too quickly. As a little kid I couldn't swing my 3 iron fast enough. I may have been better off swinging my 5 iron! But, I did learn how to swing a long iron at a young age, so...

    Driver Length? Would you consider shorter?

    Translation. Your fitter doesn't want to do it. But you don't really know unless you were to get fit for a shorter driver. My fitter had me choke down on driver. He also bent an iron to see whether 2* upright was correct for me. He watched me sink a lot of putts and said I needed a 31 inch...

    Driver Length? Would you consider shorter?

    I'm 5' 2." I found I have enough flexibility to take a really long backswing to hit the ball with distance and accuracy. Just like throwing a right hook against a target too slow to move or defend! Been practicing with a 41 inch shaft. Dialed in the dispersion which allows me to swing freely...

    Callaway JAWS Raw Wedges

    The Callaway S and Vokey S grind are for players who like to square up the club. If you like the Vokey M grind for shot making I think the best option is the new Callaway Z grind. The Z grind may only be available with the RAW face.

    The Home Renovation Thread

    I've been using a Werner Fiberglass 2 piece ladder for over twenty years. I do my own electrical so the added safety is a big plus. Even if you don't you never know when the ladder might come into contact with a live wire. It is heavier and more expensive than an aluminum ladder but the safety...

    Ideal Loft

    Yes, I learned a lot from my fitter at Club Champion. I learned a lot of it previously from different sources but it was really good to talk about it in person with someone else. Sort of like taking a final exam! And passing! Even better, I learned how to tell the difference in feel between a...

    Playing from bare lies

    I'm taking a penalty stroke. Which gives me the option of taking the shot again. Stroke and distance. Or a drop. As I said earlier, I believe in practicing penalty strokes as it part of the modern golf game.

    Playing from bare lies

    If my short sided ball is sitting on high grass near the green, I can take a full swing with my 60* and hold the green with descent angle. I don't swing hard enough to use a more lofted club. My 60 stays at home so I can carry two 58s.

    Moving sucks.

    I need to get rid of a lot of stuff before I move. I've lived in the same house for 23 years now. When a friend moved a month ago I gave her about fifty boxes to help with her move. As much as I could fit in my little car!

    Playing from bare lies

    Take drops on bare lies to insure you get enough practice making that shot. Last year I got a lot of practice grinding through rounds to build confidence in my ability to make tough shots. A good hole was making an up and down after taking a penalty drop after being behind a tree. I did it often...

    Ideal Loft

    It is easy enough to change the driver loft. My new driver was set to 14* due to my slow swing speed but I found it worked better with 12+ one marking more loft.

    Playing from bare lies

    I carry a Ping Glide 3.0 58/ TS just for this shot and pick the ball of the bare ground. I put in the same shaft I use in my full swing irons. My irons were fitted to hold greens via descent angle. My stock shot is a high fade.

    Do you ever feel not good enough for a golf course?

    Yes, it was three years of practice before I played on anything besides a cheap course. I'm relentless at learning new things. I have yet to plateu in learning how to play. My wife told my I was quite unique in being able to do that. When I was fifty she taught me everything she knew about...

    50g Weighted shaft for 3 wood

    I'm the opposite. A very long backswing works for me in swinging driver. Yes, I'm old and slow. But, I'm short and constantly need to stretch to reach stuff. I garden all day long. I'm constantly climbing over 2ft rabbit fences. I have a ton of flexibility. A short heavy shaft and a long...

    50g Weighted shaft for 3 wood

    I like light shafts in my irons but a heavier shaft allows me to make a really short 42 inch driver with no extra weights. A lighter shaft can be longer if that helps your swing speed. I prefer the accuracy I get with shorter shafts. For me, it is accuracy first, then distance. I've seen well...

    What Are You Working On?

    Interestingly enough, when I became satisfied with my left/right dispersion and began to swing more relaxed with better tempo, I began to automatically add the weight shift option to my swing. I first learned a rotational swing that made it very easy to keep my balance. Later I added some...

    How much is bogey avoidance an active part of your game and course mgmt?

    I had a good round starting off with three consecutive double bogeys. Then two Pars and a Birdie. We all have start somewhere! I was really pleased at being able to walk nine holes and hole out with a single golf ball. A major accomplishment for a stroke survivor. I didn't care how many...
