Us OLD guys were taught as kids to "Hit the fairway" and not worry about distance.

Today.......I teach kids to hit the sucker as hard as you can..............then you can learn how to hit it straight.
My 275 can't cut it any more:mad:

Yep… It amazes me to think about all the places where I used to hit irons off the tee. Now, it’s Driver everywhere. Technology and the lack of spin has made Driver as easy to control as any other club.

My 275 is fine since I only play 6 or 7 times a year

Very few can "work" a golf ball anymore.
I think back in amazement that I could ever break 70 with Persimmon Woods and Balata golf balls.:eek:

Bubba Watson is one of the few who can. I’ll never forget that shot he hit at the 2012 masters hooking a wedge 40+ yards around a tree.

I had an ugly middle of the round but I hit it within 1 inch at 16 and 2 feet at 18 for kick in birdies to shoot 75- which there’s no way I’m complaining about. All the bleachers are up for the tournament next week and when I stuffed the approach at 18, there were about 20 people just randomly sitting in the bleachers that erupted. Definitely in my top 5 golf moments ever.

I'd love to if schedules ever work out. Haven't been to Knoxville very many times in the past 2-3 years though.
