I cleared every water hazard I had to go over. My problem was the ones
on the right ... out of play. ;-)
I have a nagging slice that just comes and goes. I got a nice 5 wood
(titanium) that was abandoned in the cart barn at my wife's place
before they tore it down. It has become my go to club for that 150-160
yard shot off the grass. I am hitting that one well. It does beg the
question that I might play better if I threw away my mismatched bag of
80 year old clubs or just sell them as antiques. I have a 3 iron from
Bobby Jones. a Ky Laffoon 9 iron.
I'm a veteran of Lou Galby's Chip & Putt, a par 3 per hole course in
Milford, CT, where I spent my summers. Galby was a fairly famous
Connecticut pro. He had a driving range on his site, too. My guess is
that his old property is now...retch...condominiums.
Was that where you shot your 72 the first time out and got bored with the game (as you stated about
7-8 years ago)?
