Can't help you with sites but man I miss golf. All kidding aside a bad back is the only thing that kept me from hitting the tour. I started golfing in grad school. I always thought it was a stupid game until I played. Within 60 days I had broke into the 80's, at 90 days my low game was 81. Hitting a golf ball to me is as easy as walking. I was getting ready to make a push to go pro and my back basically blew up. 3 months ago I went golfing with my father-in-law. I had not picked up a club in 15 years. I ended up with a 94. You want to talk about an up and down round....I had 6 pars in that 94, but when I had a bad hole, buddy it was a bad hole...LOL. While my back did not hurt afterwords I am afraid to try it again....

Golf is my other expensive hobby, but don't make my own clubs. Can't be blaming my bad game to my bad club making. :-)

We will have to go play golf next time you are in town or next time I see you wherever that is. I will pay for your round to see your swing and get some tips from a natural, which I am not. :-)

I would love to golf with you sometime. I have a guy here in IL that makes clubs for a living. he is a semi-pro golfer and if you like, I can find out what brand he uses to build the clubs. He does make some awesome drivers.

I too shoot around mid 90's but I am sure it would be higher on one of your beautiful coarses in KY.

Sounds good to me. Golf is cheap here most courses cost around $20-$40 for 18 and a cart depending on what day you go. You guys have nice soft black dirt up there and we have red clay dirt here. I always play horrible when I play up there and my dad does the same when he comes here. Hard to adjust hitting off different soils when you are so use to one kind.

Don't be fooled by the rumors you hear about our dirt being soft black soil; it is only masked by layers of hard clay. On a good day, you can get an extra 20 yards on a good bounce, Lol.

We might need a roadtrip this spring to one of your courses.

Love my Golf . Would like to do it a lot more than I do . Not very good at it but enjoy it . Normally play 9 holes with my Father-in-law on a sunday afternoon and go around in a average 52 .

Purchased a iron set of Callaway big bertha's and an odyssey putter early in the year . Just need the coin to get some good drivers now .

That is why you make you own stuff you can mix match heads, shafts, grips and making your own stuff is about half the cost of buying name brand stuff

That is what I like doing is walking but trying to get any of my lazy friends to do it is like pulling teeth
