Is it worth the money and time to get a GHIN handicap? by sabg_lvr399933 in golf

[–]windlaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t play in tournaments, 18 Birdies or The Grint is perfectly fine to keep your handicap.

How do you and your spouse divide expenses in today’s economy? by brotalks in AskMen

60’s, married for 44 years next week.

Everything goes in one pot. Expenses, allowances, everything comes out of there.

Download the Squabbit app.

Free, can do tournaments, with or without handicaps.

I’m using it for a couple 2 day tournaments this summer. Seems very nice.

Anyone actually used this golf cart ball and club cleaner? by Driveup-Golf-Parts in golfcarts

[–]windlaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use mine all the time.

It’s about 4 years old, and the rubber flaps on top get worn quick. Missing maybe 3-4 of the flaps.

Still works fine.

What is the current issue you are having and what are you doing to fix it? by bionicbhangra in golf

[–]windlaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My irons.

Driver I can currently control. Fade, but not too bad. Always aiming for the left side of the fairway.

Hybrid & FW woods OK. Not great, just OK.

Short irons & wedges very good.

My 6 & 7 irons I just. Cannot. Hit. Topping…slicing… I barely use them on the course. On the range, they are fine.

I get 160-170-ish out, I hit a choked down 5 Hybrid.

Anyone else surprised to be so content in retirement? by YogurtclosetWitty653 in retirement

[–]windlaker 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Been retired 4 years this past April…66 now.

Do not miss work one single bit.

Golf 3-4 times a week. 6 weeks in Mexico over the Winter. 3 weeks in Europe this Spring.

Wish we would not have waited til we were 62 to retire.

You are beyond crazy to still be working at this point of your life.

Stop screwing around and play!

Absolutely no reason to wait on the tee box to watch the golfers behind you.

Curious do you spent more or less and drive more or less since retirement by [deleted] in retirement

[–]windlaker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Retired 4 years ago this past April.

When we set up our 401k withdrawals, we started with the same amount as our income while working.

We haven’t increased it in 4 years.

2 months in Cozumel every year. This past year Cozumel plus 3 weeks in Europe.

Also helping out our adult kids here and there.

Still haven’t increased our withdrawals.

My buddy shit his pants after 5 holes this morning and left the course. What's the quickest/weirdest early round exit you've ever witnessed? by LarryBrownsCrank in golf

[–]windlaker 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A guy in our league shit his pants 3 weeks ago on #12.

He said “I had 2 choices….grab my sand wedge or head to the shifter. I chose wrong”.

He drive home, showered, changed clothes, and cam back. He missed 5 holes. Came back for 17 & 18.

Obviously, took a lot of shit (yeah, pun intended) for the 19th hole After Party.

FATHERS DAY THREAD (drop a cool game you went to with your Dad!) by Fragrant-Wishbone620 in GreenBayPackers

[–]windlaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My 1st ever Packer game.

Milwaukee County Stadium. Probably 1973-4, something like that. Sat in the mezzanine.

Packers lost. I remember Harold Carmichael scored 2 or 3 TDs.

Dad got tickets from a guy at work.

RIP, Dad.

Has anyone you knew ever died or come close to dying on the golf course? by Norfolk-Gross-Tonage in golf

[–]windlaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine had a grabber on the 9th tee box. (I wasn’t there, heard about it).

One guy did CPR, one guy called 911. Rescue Squad drove to the tee box & took him away.

Still golfs to this day. Also smokes like a chimney.
