Clubs: Ram Accubar's (would like a new clubs but it has a low

Self evaluation: Overrated with a tendency to squeeze the clubs tighter with
the match on the line. Can hit a long ball, but will try to
hit it shorter this year to keep it in the fairway and
score better. Yea right.

Lowest Score: 75 (after playing same course for 6 days in a

was a hilly long course but got a roll due to
dry conditions.)
Misc: Usually spend a week in October or November
playing in Myrtle Beach, S.C. "Golf weeks" are
advertised there during that time period and
are very worthwhile. Some 30 courses to choose
from. Locally, (within 1 hour drive of Greenville)
there are about 20 or so courses ranging from
cow pastures (remember the term Cow pasture
pool ??) to carpets. Palmer and Trevino are
designing/building a course apiece here. Palmer's
is real close, about 20 minutes. Trevino's is
in North Carolina, about an hour and 20 minutes
away. Looking forward to playing them both if
they don't end up being private and have a
$1,000,000 member fee.

and play a course or two, just call !!!

| Closs, do you carry all those clubs in you bag? Because unless
I counted wrong or you don't carry a putter, thats 15 clubs and
the rules clearly say you can carry a maximum of 14 clubs in your
bag. You listed 10 irons, 1-PW, 2 woods, a driver and 3 wood, 2
SW's 55 and 60 degree loft. Thats 14 without a putter.
I didn't want to start a new topic just to say this, so I stuck

Worse course: Jack Tar village in the Bahamas... the fairway
had a runway beside it with jets landing all around you and once
I hit a ball into some rough, it turned out to be a swamp infested
with mosquitoes and I got attacked. Within the next three holes
I thought I had come down with malaria, if it hadn't been for some
american fly boys I wouldn't have mad it back to the hotel. It turned
out I was sick for the next three days. Some vacation eh!

Location: Ayr, Scotland - The Home of Golf
DTN: 7823-3055
Position: European Manufacturing MIS DRM Programs Manager (phew)
Years played: 20
Handicap: 6 (did make it down to 2)
Home club: Troon Welbeck
Best round: 69 (par 73 course, back tees)
Best course: Gleneagles-Kings course, plus any of the Open Championship
courses.
Clubs: RAM XS1000 irons 2-SW (9 years old)
Dunlop Maxfli Pro Special Persimmons 1,3,5 (2 weeks old)
Slotline or PING putter (depending on the state of the
greens)
Ball: Titleist 384 or Wilson Staff 432. Depends on what
people bring me back from US business trips. Balls are
half the price in the US.
Comments: These NOTES are compulsive reading - keep it up!!!
The Ayr plant is approximately 10 minutes from Old Prestwick
which was the scene of the first ever Open Championship,
15 minutes from Troon (Tom Watson Open in 1984),
15 minutes from Turnberry (Tom Watson in 1977 and
Greg Norman in 1986), 90 minutes from Gleneagles, 2 hours
from Muirfield, St Andrews and Carnoustie. The area is
really comprised of 3 towns (Ayr, Prestwick and Troon)
which sort of merge into one another to form one large town.
Ayr has 3 courses, Prestwick has 3 courses and Troon, wait
for it, has 6 courses. To sum up, its a pretty good location
to live and work in, apart from the weather which can be
pretty gruesome at times. Golf is a religion round these
parts. The Ayr plant has its own golf club affiliated to the
Scottish Golf Union and now has over 100 members. We have
full use of the local course for our weekly competitions
on Tuesday and Thursday evenings using the tournament tees.
To maintain the friendly theme of these notes, anyone
visiting Scotland for business or pleasure, give me
call and we'll set up a game or three.
Sandy Lyle for the Masters ?????
Ambition: To play more courses in the USA. I've only managed one
round at Stow (don't remember which course - right hand
side coming out of the clubhouse). Shot an 83 with 3 balls
in the pond at the third and using a set of really beat up
rented clubs.

| Greetings.
Bob Tatum
St. Louis, Mo.
Been playing 2 years after resuming after a 15 year layoff. Handicap
is about 20 with an occasional round in the mid-80's. My full swing
is good but my short game in non-existent... sometimes end up further
from the hole than before I hit (is there any way to just take a
bye?).
Playing with 13 year old PGA Ryder Cup IIs regripped with leather
grips (I like that tacky feeling!). Slotline putter and woods made
by a friend who makes custom clubs. Usually carry 1-3-5 woods,
3-SW, 60 degree wedge, and putter.

I threw my clubs down the basement and didn't play for 5 years.
Clubs: Lynx Predator Irons (I find Ping's too heavy), homemade
woods and wedges and putter.
Goal this year: To get handicap below 10, probably end up 20
Goal in Life: To get a hole in 1 on a par 4

I grew up in a family that literally lived on a golf course. Actually
my parents just bought land that surrounds the seventh hole at WGC.
Both of my parents play well and my brother is presently trying
to make it onto the tour. It's definitely a tough road!
Would like to play in some tournaments in the area, but I don't
belong to a course. Anybody have any suggestions?

helped but feel very confortable with them.

| Name: Malcolm Cameron
Work Site: Parker St., Maynard
Position: Business Systems Analyst/Consultant
Played Since: Started in 1970, played on high school team. Picked-up
the clubs again this year after a 6 - 7 year layoff.
Clubs: Royal (circa 1968). I bought them used in 1974. I'm
looking to buy some new clubs before the spring.
Current Clubs:
Woods: Royal lady's driver and 5 wood. I can hit the
woods a long distance...I think it's the
whippiness in the lady's shaft.
Irons: Someone once told me that irons should have
grooves...does any one know what they look like.
I haven't seen grooves on my clubs since the
mid-seventies.
Putter: Slotline Big Mo, it's new this year. I'm a terrible
putter...although Big Mo has improved my game by
a couple of strokes. I still three putt way too
many greens.
Usual Courses: Stow Acres (love it), Heatherhill GC (They're putting in
irrigation this year...they need it), Wayland CC (too short),
Sandy Burr (wide open...good scoring course), Glen Ellen
(wide open), Stowaway (horrible but cheap little course),
Wachusett (real nice course, but doesn't give tee times...long
wait to tee off), Twin Springs (short 9 holer, but in good
shape), Round Hill (Sandwich, Cape Cod...don't go in the
woods...you'll never find your ball; challenging).
Golf Book: Arnold Palmer's "Play Great Golf". It has a very simplistic
approach to how to play better golf. It took 10 strokes off
my game this year.
Handicap: Around 16 - 18. I've consistently hit in the mid-to-upper 80's
since August.
Next Year's Goal: To break 80 (on a regulation-size course)

It was a good year. Most of all, I gained confidence in my game,
even if I screw it up constantly, I know I can hit the ball.
Handicap: Went down to 18 from 26. Not bad for my fourth year playing
Best Score: 87 at Stow Acres South, best 9 holes 40 in same course.
First time to brake 90 in my life
Clubs: Started and ended with my full set of Mizuno Altrons, which
for my type of game I consider good clubs. Only added a Yamaha X-214
driver with good results. I will keep the altrons (with new grips)
for at least 89, but plan to get the Yamaha 3 wood. I went back to
NE Golf Supply in Marlboro but they have already sold the one they
had (Leftie!!).
Best moment in 1988: Low score above
1989 goals: Consistent in the low 90's, occasionally brake 90

| 61.143 | slightly updated... | VINO::RASPUZZI | Michael Raspuzzi | Mon Jan 23 1989 15:02 | 72 |
| Well, I did this once before but it was a couple of years ago. Time
to update:
Name: Michael Raspuzzi
Location: MRO1, Marlboro, MA (USA :-)) (Soon to be in LKG)
Job: Software Engineer - TOPS-20 Monitor Group (Soon to be
in the VMS/LAT Group)
Now for the real stuff:
I have been playing golf for almost 20 years now (and I am only going
to be 26 this year). My grandfather taught me when I was young.
I played mostly at my home course (Wyantenuck Country Club) and
had the ooportunity to play many courses in Berkshire County (in
MA).
I played golf on my high school golf team for 4 years and on my
college team for 3 years. WPI was not a big golfing school though.
At one time, my handicap was 2 but I have not played enough in recent
years to keep it there. Someday, it will be back!
This past year, I spent a lot of time practicing and forming a good
mental attitude toward the game. I had a few nine hole rounds around
even par. My birdie production has been failing so I have been
concentrating a lot on making crisp short iron shots to the green
(read close to the hole) and have been practicing my putting from
20 feet in. I firmly believe that any birdie putt from 10 to 20
feet should go in 9 times out of 10 and any birdie putt closer then
10 feet should not be missed. Of course, real life ain't that way...
My best score for 18 is 71 which is 1 over par at Wyantenuck. I
have duplicated said score many times. My best for 9 is 34 (-1 on
the back nine of Wyantenuck) and that has been done only once.
While going to high school and college, I got a job working on the
grounds at Wyantenuck. I worked there for a total of about 8 years.
I enjoyed it thoroughly and should have gotten my degree in turf
grass management. My last 2 years, I was assistant greenskeeper
and my job was to keep the greens and tees looking good and
insect/fungus free. Ah, those were the days...
I always carry 14 clubs in my bag even though I have several extras.
I have 2 drivers; a Sounder and a Taylor Made metal driver. I like
them both but the metal wood seems to let me go for more distance
without hooking the ball wildly. I also carry a 4-wood, Titleist
1-iron and 2-PW Wilson Staffs. I have a Ben Hogan SW (need a new
one) and a Ben Crenshaw style putter. All clubs have a stiff shaft
(except for maybe the putter).
I usually use Wilson ProStaff golf balls.
I am an avid skier but after March 1st, the skis go in the closet
and the clubs come out. I am not really into match play or 4-ball
tournaments. I like medal play. I also don't really believe in the
handicap system. I understand that every golfer has his or her own
level of play, but give me a stroke play tournament any day with
no handicap shots.
This year, I am going to have to find a golf course and a driving
range closer to home. Since I work in Marlboro as of this writing,
I have been playing off and on at Marlboro CC and going to the driving
range on route 9 in Westboro. After I move to LKG, I'll have to
find a driving range and a nice course closer to there. I live in
Leominster so if anyone can offer a suggestion on what courses or
driving ranges to go to between Fitchburg and Littleton, let me
know.
Maybe this year, I'll try to get my competitive edge back by joining
a DEC League. But I am not too crazy about Stow Acres. I played
there a lot in college and I was not impressed.

Clubs: Acushnet Titleist 1-PW

Goal: For 1989 I hope to bring my handicap down to 16 and become
a less streaky player. It is very frustrating to play 6 or 7 holes
in a row at 1 or 2 over, then play like.... well you know.
Comments: I have always liked golf, guess watching Arnie on television
in his glory days started me off. I played once or twice a year
for an awfully long time, but never got serious about the game until
a few years ago. My involvment in Little League Baseball for 15
years took up much of my time and once I retired from coaching,
golf filled the void. My regret is that I wish that I taken up the
game on a serious level when I was a teenager.

I played the game 2 or 3 times a year for about 5 years and then in

which I almost did today and then to play consistently in the 80's.
Since it's gonna be 68 tomorrow, I think I'll play another 18. This
may just be the round I've been looking for, and it won't really matter
if it's not!!

my handicap come down, if not, does anyone know where I can take

My lowest score was 80, four times I've shot 80, but never been able
to break 80, hope to do it this year (with a pencil if necessary)

I played a couple of seasons of hack golf when I was 12 or 13
I've been playing semi-seriously every weekend for the last
3 years.
Handicap: I don't have an official handicap, but it would
probably be around 17 or 18.
Home Course: I'm just a vagrant I guess, don't have a home
course, I tend to play a different course almost
every week.
Favorite Courses: Exeter CC in Rhode Island, Portsmouth CC,
Wentworth by the Sea.
Best Score: 83 for 18, 39 for nine, on the back nine at
Glen Ellen CC in Millis MA.
Clubs: 3-PW Ping-Eye 2. Woods also Ping, but I'm
seriously considering switching to Taylor-Made
Metal Woods with the graphite shafts. My
putter is Ping also.
Favorite Ball: I've been using the Titlelist DT series for
a while with some good results.
Goals: To break 80.
Comments: After a very frustrating start to this season
my game has finally come around in the last
month for some very fun and consistent golf.

Location: Spit Brook Road, Nashua (ZKO2)
DTN: 381-0887
Position: Technical Writer
Played since: 71'-73' and 87'-89'
Handicap: 18
Home Course: Mostly Whip-Poor-Will in Hudson, NH
Best Score: 39 at The Oaks in Citrus Hills, Fl., and
83 at the Whip in Hudson.
Clubs: Spaulding Executives
Golf balls: Mostly Titleist, but my father is pushing Ultras
off on me lately.
I grew up on golf, mostly caddying for my father for about 10 years
before I ever tried to hit one myself. I played irregularly for a
couple of years during my high school days, but basically left it
alone until recently. I played tennis in high school and softball
since then, so I didn't have much time for golf. However, with my
father getting on in years and wanting to play alot with his sons,
I've picked up the game again and I'm having a great time punishing
myself every week.

to find some playing partners for weekends (or after work if possible)
in the northern, MA southern NH area. I currently live about 1 mile

I enjoy golf a great deal playing to a handicap between 24 and 28.
I hope to get better.

O.K. Gene, I guess I have to break down.
Name: Joe Corrigan
Loc: MK01
Pos: Technical Representative.
Played since: I can remember.
Handicap : Ended '89 with a USGA 8.3
Home course : Ya right!!
Best score : 69 for 18. 32 for 9. Shot a 71 at Tedesco C.C. in
Swapscott MA last year and consider that my "career"
round.
Clubs : 1,3-SW Ram tour Grind. Regular lie, regular shaft.
: Taylor 1 Metal,stiff. H&B 3 and 4 wood,stiff.
: Putter: Ping A-Blade ( I got for my 10th B-day and
have never used another ).
Memorable
moments : Seeing 10 aces. Never getting one myself, of course!!
Jerry Kabbe, a good friend, can't get any if I'm not
there, he's had two. Seen G. Player, D. Pooley,
B. Langer and some nameless other get ones too!!
So if you want an ace, ask me along!!!!!
Most memorable of all moments was being lucky enough to see
the last 11 holes of the "greatest" round of all time in
person. Jack in '86, at Augusta. I will remember every
shot. And not a bad follow up was Larry Mize's "gift"
the next year.
Great job Mr. Moderator!!!

OBJECTIVE
'cap has stayed even at 5 or 6 in DEC league
and 12 to 13 on USGA for 3 years.
Would like to move into single digits
on USGA and be a STRONG 5 in DEC league.
Not easy for me as I do not have a "natural"
swing. By that I mean it's "unathletic"
as to golf mechanics, and I try to copy
my son, "Walta", "Tom A. in Marlboro
league and DICK GARRETT(ex-DECCY).
Not easy, but it is the best of all
games, sports or hobby, etc.
FREINDSHIP
The best reward of all. Nothing else
like die-hard golfers!

Clubs: Titelist
Most memorable experience: Beat Christy Junior (The Ryder Cup man who
flew the two iron to the green to beat Fred Couples four years ago.
However it was 30 years ago and Christy then had not started golfing.
As I am leaving in a few months, I am investigating some business
concepts. One of these is a Golf Marketing concept over the net
(i.e.Internet public networks) where golfers planning Irish holidays
could reserve tee times in a range of courses.
I will add a note on this and welcome comment.

| Well, it finally happened. My husband bought me clubs for Christmas. I used
to play par 3 courses as a kid with my dad. He and my brother have played quite
a bit, and my brother has a handicap in the teens, so I understand the lingo.
Now I get to try it out first hand! I'll be read only for awhile, mostly
looking for places to practice in the winter in Central Mass.

| My name is Mark Granoff. In addition to being a new moderator and hosting
this conference (in Littleton, MA), I am a new golfer (just started this
summer). I'm hooked! As such, I don't yet have a favorite course or a
handicap. :-)

I've been playing for about a year now. Have a handicap of 24 and best
score of 89 on a par 71.
Home course is in Norfolk, England but love to play anywhere. So far,
furthest away is Holland and France.
