Back In The Fairway

As the end of summer approaches, it’s always nice to get the clubs in shape for the lower-cost winter golf season. Besides polishing up the heads and getting any muck and grime off them, cleaning the grips, or maybe even replacing them is one of the cheapest things you can do to your older set…

Happy “almost-end-of-season point” everyone! As we begin to close in on the final portion of the golfing season, it’s nice to look back and see where we made mistakes in our budgeting (or expectations), where we did really well and most of all, how can we get the most of what we have left in…

What a week it has been. I was barely able to keep life functioning this week as it was a very rough one for our family. I won’t go too far into the personal stuff, but let’s just say it was a trying week at best. That said, I came into the week at an…

Lesson #1 – It’s Not About Learning To Hit The Ball BetterYes, this may sound stupid, but the secret to playing better golf and having more fun doing it isn’t hitting better shots. No, this isn’t a trick or some crazy thought. The secret to playing better golf and having more fun while you do…

One of the modern marvels in club making is everyone wants to hit the ball farther than ever before. While that’s an awesome thought, the reality is, not many of us “should” hit the ball further. It was a hard lesson for me to learn this off-season, but it was one that has really helped…

On this cold, soon to be really stinking not, Monday morning, I’m forced to look back on the summer of 2018 and think, “What could have been?” This year started off with such promise, such expectation, yet it turned out to be just another summer of nothing going as planned. This weekend was probably the…

Last Wednesday, I as a few days in to my Ketogenic Diet and managed to knock myself down to a crazy 306.4 pounds. This week, as predicted, things slowed a bit and currently I’m down 6 pounds to 300 even. I’m still finding that this works a bit strange. I mean, bacon and eggs for…

I haven’t done an official What’s In The Bag post since November of last year and while the bag is still currently the same as it was then, I felt like everyone may want to have a good reminder of what’s in there. First off, I have played Wilson Golf equipment for almost every season…

Ah, the quest to make golf cheaper took a turn this weekend when I saw my first commercial for the “Free Balls Club” online. In a somewhat funny, but very “questionable” advertisement that talks all about free-balling on the course, the FBC highlights how golf balls are too expensive, but you shouldn’t need to dig…

Every year or two, something new comes along and outshines the previous model. It’s just what happens in golf, or life for that matter. Still, that doesn’t make the 2 year old club obsolete by any means, nor does it make it less valuable. As a Wilson fan, I followed the first season of their…
