RK,
Must be caused by all that MB
sunshine and salt air, RK. :-) My Mom had Parkinson's and I don't need any
of that. I have enough trouble hitting a putt on line anymore with reasonably
steady hands. I may soon have to face the fact that I'll never be a 2 again, but
I'm not giving up without a fight. Always wanted to make scratch and never quite
did it. Got to a 1.4 index in the 1960s and 1.5 three years ago. Sure would like
to shoot my age, though. Came within one shot of it right before I went on
dialysis last year with an unexplainable 69 (-3) on our shorter course. Had 27
putts that day...haven't been anywhere near that number since. Post surgery
scores this winter have been mostly low 80s (82 yesterday with three 3-putt
greens) and an occasional 88-92 (seven 3-putt greens on that 92...couldn't
bend my back very well on that round).
We'd make good partners, though. If our
opponents had to watch you shaking and me with my puffy red Prednisone face
and jerky putter, we'd scare 'em into submission. :-)

Bernie, Talk about trying to overcome a personal
handicap vs agolfing handicap you should be in my
shoes. W/in two very short years i went from a 7 HCP to
a 36+ HCP and only lost about 100 yards on my drives, no matter how long
the shaft is on my driver.

Chris,
Geez, you're a darn gorilla if you can
swing that 51-incher consistently. I
don't know if I could get the
head off the ground. :-)
Think David is right on looking at
Dean's post again. Was confused. I've
been doing so many 13� fairway
drivers for my son's young guns lately, that
I was assuming Dean
meant degrees. Forgot those heads went up to a 15.
Yup, feeling
much better. New kidney has my blood pressure normal
without
medication for the first time in 20 years. Now, if I can get
the
steroid-supplemented gut reduced to normal and tight back
straightened out,
maybe I can make a full turn again. Am 20 yards
shorter with the driver than
I was eight months ago and about 8 shots
higher as a result. Need lots of
practice. There's always another
challenge for old guys. Right, Al?
Bernie
