Hello everyone, I was just thinking that maybe we could get together for a WLS golf outing.....anybody be up for this? Jill

You were right, I did not buy blades, but now am the proud owner of Titleist 704.CB cavity backs, nice size, smaller than the larger top flights that I was using, now I am getting some movement on the ball and the clubs look like what I used to use. Hitting it much straighter, too. Thanks for the input!

Who you rooting for? I'd love to see Phil wear the Green Jacket again.

I hear ya, I just bought a Titleist 3 iron hybrid, 22 degree. I got at a pro shop at 40% off and with a free round thrown in at a resort course (Bodega Bay Golf Links) to boot. I bought it after I played (had an 84) then I could not wait until the next day to go to the range and try it out. My regular 3 iron went about 180 the hybid about 190 and straight. I currently using a set of top flight regular shaft cavity backs, and am looking to go to blades, probably a dumb move, too. I am not hitting ball as far as I did in my youth (now 54) but it is a lot straighter! I started back at golf after a long lay off (ten years) then 9 months later I decided on the surgery and did it 6/7/05 RNY. My handicap went up! from a 9 to now a 13, go figure , 130 lbs and higher handicap! Golf is and was my salvation!

Dave, Congrats on your new clubs and on your 8 handicap!! I'm hoping come spring I see a big improvement in my game. I'm saving up for the new Taylor made R5 driver; a couple of girls on my league have it and it's incredible! Keep hitting them straight! Sue McD

That is the best thing ever, golf was made for walking, I had also never got to experience that before surgery, awesome! Good for you.

I am 1.5 years out of surgery and my game gets better every day. My handicap has dropped from a 22 to a 14, but have had several rounds in the 70's including one 75. I have even shot my first ever even par 9 hole round. I attribute this to three things: The loss of 125 pds, the lessons I took from a great teacher, and my chiropractor (who I thought was a scam artist until my back hurt so bad I was willing to try anything).

Hi fellow golfers, Just wondering how your game has improved. My game didn't make significant improvement this summer but I'm expecting great things for next year! I had trouble as my body, and energy levels, changed so rapidly. I am starting to hit the ball more consistently and plan on taking more lessons in the spring when I've lost a lot more. I'm golfing 18 today but it's 58 degrees and I don't like golfing with the bulk of sweatshirts and jackets. Of course I'll still go! Take care everyone and hope you're hitting them straight!

Hey David, How are you doing after your surgery? It's 10/2/05 so you should be out golfing again. Today is a beautiful day in Chicago, my husband and I have a 3pm tee time for twilight. I'm going to walk the course which I haven't been able to do in a long time! Hope you are doing well and hope the golf Gods are good to you! Sue McD

Sue: I still drink a protein shake at the turn every round. I figure as hot as it's been here and with me not eating too much, I need to drink water all of the time and protein for energy. Keep hacking away like we all do and the scores will get lower. I think if you play 3 times a week or more, your score has to go lower just because your swing gets better. Dave
