Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

But for 95% of folks, they avg 225.
I would agree about that for me now at 55.. but when I was 25 I averaged 250-260..
As for the golf ball I use a Titleist True soft.. about $29.. a lot cheaper than PRO-V1s.. You may need to match your ball to your equipment.. [Reply]

Did finally break down and get a new set of the CB irons. Have had the same ones the past 10 years the old 695 CB ones. Doubt it’ll chance a whole lot but my grooves were toast so it was time
My Eye 2 + no + are now 29 years old and the retumble finish is mostly gone. I'm going to send them off to get retumbled then retire them with the original ZZ-Lite shafts reinstalled with the old Dylagrips.
I'm going to treat myself to a set of i500s in the retro lofts as a graduation gift come May. [Reply]

Ball speed of 155 corresponds to a carry distance of ~255-260, which would be right with your old average. If you were using the shit Callaway clones at Top Golf, I wouldn't put a ton of faith in that data.
Deal. I can spend $20 buckaroos. I haven't even had golf shoes for the last 5 years. I lost my other ones, but now I'm all ready to go. Got some new Puma golf shoes, Puma golf hat, and Puma golf glove. All looking like I actually know what I'm doing lol.
Back in the day, they had an illegal ball called a Condor. We used to use it on elevated tees that were way down hill (not in tournaments obviously) and that thing would just fly and go straight up and carry carry carry. [Reply]

You live on the KS side. There are several Golf Galaxys or similar stores on that side. Tell them that you used to play college golf and that you're thinking about getting back into the game, and want to consider a newer driver. Hit some shots with your current club and a newer club.
Ideal specs should be a launch of about 11-13 degrees with a spin rate around 2750±250 RPM for your swing speed. [Reply]

Nice
I’ve got an old set of the Karstens I’m mom and dads garage I need to break out [Reply]
A low kick point shaft will produce a higher ball flight and high kick point the opposite. Driver loft of course will also but your swing plane will have the most to do with this. Get to the range! [Reply]

Still have my Ping Eye 2 red dots and zz lite shafts ive regripped many times. I liked those ping dial a grips except for winter golf and early in the season. I still use my PW and SW hard to ditch those but I did switch to Hogan Edge when they introduced them. I always had a love for Hogan's since my first perimeter weights irons the Magnums. [Reply]

Just got fitted by a pro earlier today and tried all kinds of heads and shafts. Ended up i500 w/ KBS as my favorite and best results on trackman. Very impressed with them and they setup great disguised as a very traditional iron. [Reply]
