Golf update.
Six rounds and counting this year, so I’m off to a good start. The Adams irons are working out well, and I have filled out my bag with older new clubs. If you don’t mind buying last year’s model, golf is really not that expensive. My driver and 3 wood were on clearance. My... »
New-to-me clubs
It’s been over a year since my last golf post. Sadly, I have not accomplished much since. C has joined our family and that has taken up most of my time. Between preparing for him and taking care of both kids upon his arrival the bulk of my time is spoken for these days.... »

Sunshine at last
Tested the rest of my clubs. The 4 iron feels a little fragile. The 9 has a grip that is longer than the shaft of the club. Other than those two, everything felt solid. I hit less than 100 yards for most of the day, with a few good shots at the end off... »
Starting over
A couple years ago, My friends J and G asked me if I wanted to join them in starting to play. It sounded interesting, so I did. I bought G’s father-in-law’s old clubs for $25 (a beat to hell set of Sam Sneed Blue Ridge blades and woods ). They came... »
