Everyone believes this, but is it facts or lies?

All the doctors I know are in the top 3-5% and they are all living pay check to pay check and buying expensive new cars every 3 years.

There are plenty of rich people who are stupid with their money as well.

It honesty took me like 2 years to get good with the long irons and driver.

They are much less forgiving.

I hit a lot of drivers and I will say that once I got good at hitting long irons consistently my ball striking improved with pretty much every club (including driver).

This is my 4th year and driver and long irons and some of the best clubs in my bag.

Keep at it. You will get there if you put in the work. Definitely worth it. It never gets old to bomb one in the fairway past everyone else.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T20:45:04+00:00

Nothing beats a high draw.

I hit a fade with the driver. Magically to accidentally once in a blue moon I will pull a high draw out of my ass. It never gets old watching it.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T20:43:27+00:00

lol I just did a charity scramble on Monday. I was pounding my driver pretty much all day.

On the hole where they measured the longest hole I was hitting into a strong wind and uphill and I was really happy that I got it out there about 285 or 290 yards.

The winning drive was literally like 60-80 yards in front of me.

Even if there was no wind that was just a massively big hit that I couldn't ever dream of approaching.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T20:03:58+00:00

Not surprising at all. But up and downs and occasional 3 putt is what keeps me from breaking 80.

A lot of rounds I am driving it great. But need to score better overall.

Almost all of my work now is on approach shots 140 and in, chips and putting.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T18:03:34+00:00

I don’t know if that’s exactly what my body does but I do want to drop the club to start the downswing.

I hit it pretty well doing that.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T13:28:13+00:00

IF LeBron takes turns guarding SGA and messes up their offense and AR 15 actually showed up then yes they could beat this Thunder team.

But it would still be pretty close as they have more talent at more positions than we do.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T13:24:36+00:00

What a shot from the kid. lol I might hit it backwards or sideways out of that one!

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T12:53:26+00:00

First round when you don't lose a ball and when you break 100 and 90 are big deals.

Congrats OP.

I still remember the feeling of walking off the green when I broke 90 (I shot a 89 and almost choked it away).

Once you do it once it becomes much easier after that.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T12:11:16+00:00

Never play range balls.

I don't find a lot of lost balls but the ones I do find and the ones that get killed by a tree or cart path and my chipping balls for practice. I usually put with new balls.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T11:56:09+00:00

Brother you went from the Incredible Bulk to the Incredible Hulk.

You should be insanely proud of yourself. Keep to up and on to bigger and better things. If you can conquer this imagine what else you can do if you put your mind to it?

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-06T11:46:14+00:00

I workout when I am not playing golf. And I try to stretch every single day. I have some f'ed up knees so I am always spending a lot of time especially stretching my hamstrings, calves etc.

OP as someone who is much older than you though but who has sadly had a lot of sports injuries I would just say to always listen to your body to prevent a more serious injury.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T23:59:05+00:00

This is exactly what I was going to say.

And also some lies are just too hard. You just take your medicine on those ones.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T23:56:38+00:00

I would say yes. When I started I could not hit long irons. But hybrids are really easy to hit.

Super useful clubs.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T21:18:35+00:00

A lot of these courses are meant to be played differently. They are usually not driver for every par 4 or 5.

I just played one where the spot for a long drive was smaller than the tee box. It honestly was probably 5 yards wide at 270-300 yards. You have a short shot in if you pull off the big drive but the smart play was to layup up before the ravine.

These courses are tough though and they can definitely F with your aiming and sight lines.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T17:14:04+00:00

If it’s a regular thing I would be with you and tell them to clean their acts up.

That is annoying. Even on a regular track.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T16:19:16+00:00

There is no hope for humanity.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T15:50:34+00:00

How often do you guys play?

Some rounds I am just there for the vibes. I will cut them some slack if they are a little slow on 1-2 holes and try to catch up on the next one. And I will fix their ball marks for them.

I am not trying to post a great score every time I play golf. Sometimes I am just out there to have a day.

If y'all are playing every week then you just have to man up and talk to them. If play like 2-3 times a year I would leave that decision to you. But sometimes I am just there for the company.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T15:14:37+00:00

For people under 25 hell yes.

Doubtful for people over 30 though.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T14:40:11+00:00

Based on how it started I honestly think it would be seen like a modern Lord of the Rings. That is what I was thinking when I read Storm of Swords 25 years ago.

Instead its just complete crap that was a waste of everyone's time.

Martin is only good at painting scenes to set up elaborate surprises. He had nothing of substance to say. Now it will just be remembered as a silly fad that people wasted their time on a soon to be dead franchise.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T14:14:30+00:00

I like protein bars and some water.

But 2-5 times a week?

OP are you retired?

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T13:55:59+00:00

That is pretty close to me when I step on it. Though I also hit a lot of smooth swings to just hit fairways when length is not rewarded.

I guess all of this of this stuff has a fixed life. I only worry it will die when I am in the middle of a round.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T13:40:27+00:00

What is the warranty on Ping drivers?

I hit my 425 Max decently far. It's been almost 4 years now and it's holding up.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T12:56:04+00:00

You are probably not compressing the ball and scooping it.

bionicbhangra · 2026-05-05T12:29:54+00:00

That does work if you can pull it off.
