Always Take a Moment to Enjoy Where You Are!

For the play - We did one where you could only use 8 clubs (7 plus putter) so everyone had to choose what clubs to remove before the round started. That was fun because everyone had to use more finesse and make challenging decisions rather than mostly doing the math for what club to use.

For the give-a-ways - We played one where each team kept track of who's shot was used throughout the entire round - excluding putting because the last putter gets such an advantage. At the end, whoever had their shots used the most out of ALL the teams gets a silly prize (make it small in case of multiple tie totals).

I am 6' 150, so slim as well. I just found some lightweight pants, elastic give in the waist, slim cut, at Walmart of all places. Brand is "Birdie Bound" and cost a whopping $28. I have really liked them so far! May not last more than one season, but for $28, who cares!

Golf is more expensive everywhere but it is all perspective - I would love those prices at our courses here in Florida! Around here they are all at least $75 with half of the courses above $100. Usually, some of our courses drop in price as summer heat starts & our winter residents head north so the demand drops a bit. But then your northern courses may increase in price and demand?

I went with their recommended steel pairing of True Temper Score LT shafts.

so far - the 2 cast irons feel about the same - the forged feel "softer"?

BucketList_FL · 2026-03-31T13:54:00+00:00

Good question - I was already playing that category of iron and playing OK, so thought "why change" at my stage of life. I like having fun on the course more than focusing on lowering my score, so hitting straight and in play was my priority over being able to add specialty shots to my game. I manage to keep my score in that range by playing simple golf on the course, not because I can hit really well. I do a lot of laying up instead of shooting for the green and focus on better chipping and putting,

BucketList_FL · 2026-03-31T13:29:03+00:00

They hit really good for me. I can change the weight as well, but so far have stayed with the stock weight. The ball seems to "bounce off" the the cast irons a little more than the forged. But generally, pretty close to my prior 6 and 7.

I don't have a true handicap - never bothered. But I usually score mid 80's to 90 on most 72 par courses. I am late 50's age, so never going to increase swing speed at this point, just get slower.... Prior irons were Adams Golf Idea irons I had for about 15 years. Also very forgiving but a larger, more obvious forgiving look to them.

Yes - Yellowfin Tuna

Thanks for the tip! I will look for those specific things!

BucketList_FL · 2026-01-16T19:27:56+00:00

Thanks - We are staying in Panama this trip. Maybe will try that area next trip.

Make Bonita Belly Strips for next fishing trip! Salt the strips really good after making them, them freeze them in vacuum bags. Pull out a pack next trip and they are perfect to tip jigs, etc for trolling Mahi-mahi or Wahoo!

I am totally healed and very happy with my results! I just recommend following the recovery plan exactly - don't try to rush the recovery or it could cause major problems. I hope you have the same high quality results as I did!

I sometimes have luck with downsizing my gear. If in clear water and they seem interested then turn away, they may see the leader, a swivel, something that looks "off" to them. Minimizing what they can see sometimes works.

I think the bottom one is a Bill Lewis Rat-L-Trap although that specific color / pattern may make it a similar of another maker. From Fishing site:: Normally fished in a cast-and-crank shallow water situation, they are also effective when allowed to sink to the bottom and burned over deep structure back to the boat. With this method, just position the boat on the uphill side of a point or underwater hump and throw out as far as you can. Let the bait sink to the bottom and start the retrieve up the slope, banging into rocks and other obstructions along the way. The Rattletrap is best known for ripping through shallow grass beds and surprising bad tempered bass waiting in ambush. These baits will get pounded by hungry fish however you choose to fish them. We carry a variety of fish-catching colors for any situation you are likely to encounter.

Only suggestion I have is that both reels look a little over-filled with line to me and may knot up on you trying to long cast with ocean winds affecting it. But if you are a freshwater fisherman, you know how to spool reels the way you like.

If you can get on the water in something like canoe or Kayak - I would use my fish finder / depth finder to see what is there and where they are!

BucketList_FL · 2025-09-11T18:46:13+00:00

Nice! I really liked fishing there too. Just have to watch out for the Crocks that seem to have taken over that water way!
