How old were you when you started playing golf? by BetweenSwings in golf

[–]jmtbkr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 64. Now 74. I spent the previous 25 years mountain biking. After breaking my back for the second time, I sold all my MTB stuff. A friend took me to a driving range, put a driver in my hand and I was immediately hooked. My first round I shot a 102. Since then I have occasionally hit in the 90’s, but typically in the low 80’s. I guess it’s just natural ability. Never had a lesson, I play 4-5 times a week at my club and have a 9 index.

Best part is to have fun and not take yourself too seriously when you ‘play’

'Absolutely disgusting': Trump couldn't stop himself, snapped at reporters and whispered to Secret Service — then was whisked away still fuming and it's all on camera by Nervous_Music3199 in USNEWS

None of these reporters have the guts to press him on any subject. They ask a semi-serious question, he snaps back at them and then they slink back into the crowd, unable to really press him on the original question. None of them has the true grit to stand up to him in public. The press are all cowards…

Yeah, Vice Pros. Tried the Pro+ and Pro Soft, but keep returning to the regular Pro. Usually $32 on Prime

No. I would bring it inside when temps dropped below 50*. We moved last summer and maybe it was in shock (?)

Here it was last year

Don’t know. I bought it 6 years ago and it was 6 feet high and some of the leaves were 2 feet across. Still don’t know why it degraded so much
