DonM That is my definition of Old Man Golf. I hate to see someone doing that if there is still a set of tees to move up to.

Exactly why I finally moved up from the white tees! Using the old formula I've read here and other forums I should play a course at about 5400-5600 yards. That seems to work out just about perfectly for me. All of a sudden I'm playing 6-hybrid, 7,8,9 irons into greens like the 'old days' instead of fairway woods. Really hard to score when you're hitting driver-5 wood-wedge-putt on most par 4's...!!

      Spuzz so I hang on the eagles

      They're a great group...... oh, we're talking golf. It's been so long since I've had one that I don't even think of them anymore.

        I really enjoy how our course is set up. The Blues are at 5900 and the Whites are at 5200. I guess the rule is at 50 you can play the Whites, but I see a lot of people under 50 playing them, which I think is great. I still play the Blues, even though I just turned 50, but they work for my level of golf at this time.

        Your game seems similar to mine. I used to get several eagles per year and had two in one round but that is many years ago. Even from the gold tees I can't remember the last time I made it on a par 5 in two. 👴

          WOW ! 234 carry is really good yardage.... And, that is with range balls. What Tees/yardage do you play now?
          We play 5300- 5600 yards from senior tees. Sometimes we play between red and green plates as one of our guys doesn't hit it real good..... We have a blast since moving up anyway.

          Maybe you should do that

          Played 18 yesterday and hit the driver well (LUV that Ping G SF Tech...definitely my best buy of 2020!). Anyway,
          I measured a few of my most solid hits....they averaged a whopping 197 yards!! Thank God for the gold tees!!

          DonM They must have some big ladies around there! Cripes, those are the tees I'd want to be playing

          Seems ridiculous to me. There must be some really long rounds. Nothing wrong with offering 6000 yard tees to ladies, but not as the shortest option.
