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
Posted by dek81572 on 4/29/24 at 11:06 am
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. He came over to America in 1923 from Sweeden when he was a young boy along with his 13 brothers and sisters. He was a farmer and tried to enlist during WW2 but was told to continue f...

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 ...

re: Driving to Disney World
Posted by dek81572 on 4/8/24 at 4:08 pm
Drove from Bossier City several times. It takes around 15 hours with a few bathroom and food stops. Leave at 2am and get there between 5 and 6 pm. Getting there isn't as bad as coming home, Disney World is not a relaxing vacation, it's work if you want to do as much as possible in your time there. U...

re: Putting: To line up OR not
Posted by dek81572 on 3/28/24 at 2:53 pm
I don't line up the putts 10' or longer, mostly just try to pick a spot and feel it. Inside 10' I use the line I make on my ball. It seems to work ok, I'm not very good either. I've tried everything, different putters (blade, mallet, long putter), tried different sized grips, different lengths and n...
