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...

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...

Houston Trip

Posted by dek81572 on 3/20/24 at 11:56 am
Me and my 17yo son are going to Houston to watch the PGA tournament on Good Friday and want to play a round of golf on Saturday before heading home. We have a tee time scheduled for The Golf Club of Houston, formerly known as Redstone, home of the Shell Houston Open before they moved it to Memorial ...
Just so I get this right, you're saying that when you turn a zone on, the valve that is wired to the Hunter Node comes on at the same time? If that is the case, its not a wiring problem because that valve is not connected to the control timer, it uses the Node to activate it. It could be that the...

re: Question for the driver aficionados

Posted by dek81572 on 3/17/24 at 3:05 pm
The USGA sets parameters of how big the club can be, how the ball reacts with the face and so on. By now, drivers have got to be maxed out on what can be done to improve distance, forgiveness has got to be close now as well. Titleist comes out with clubs every 2 years, im sure the manufacturers who ...
