My index has gone up so much so fast that I've hit the "soft cap". It's an anti-bagger thing. For the next year maybe, I can only go up at half of whatever it would have gone up for each change. No matter, unless I break 80 each of the next two rounds, it's going to keep going up, even at half speed. Because I have two sub-80s about to get pushed off the back end of the last 20 rounds.
I sure would love to get back down into the 70s.
Played Kings Ridge today and struggled to a 93. Much more difficult greens. Had some horrible bounces on the back 9. Still won money both days.
Another typical round of golf. 
Not played/swung a club since 7/16.
Had surgery since.
Lost 20+/- lbs., mostly muscle.
New driver, new irons, new putter, new 5 wood, new wedge in bag.
Eyes are really bad.
Played last 3-4 holes in the dark.
Nice damn work Pappy

My eyes have gone to hell(app't Tuesday). On those holes I'd hit driver then ask everyone where it went!! I could 'feel' where it went, but could not see it after 50' as it was really getting dark. And 'shooting blind' at greens is quite some fun!! Then there was the "Stevie Wonder' putting technique I used.
Carts were supposed to be in at 5:20. We got done at 6 and were not the only ones out there. I doubt they will complain too much when they announced on FB that it was a record rounds day!!
sdandrea1 It was a nice day/nice round. I was a bit apprehensive about overdoing it out there 1st time back. Long layoff, and the muscle loss made it more worrisome. I can a little more turn it seems and probably should/will start some type of stretching.
But...seems I've gained about 20 off the tee. Had some real head scratchers right off the 1st hole. Due to the packed course and to keep things moving quicker, I used the whites instead of the gold(SR) tees, on a few holes. 1st hole was past where I would normally hit. Had several holes like that, most around 220. And with a brand new driver from @LogicalOne!! All in the FW, of course
.
I was going to play today also, 72*, but I just cannot see. It was hell trying to see my ball unless I was within 5 yds. of it.
12:40 app't tomorrow to (hopefully) remedy that.
92 at Legends today. No driver the last 2 rounds and tricky greens. Somehow won money again though.
Shot 85 today with one birdie. Ball striking was good but I choked three putts in the 2.5-3 foot range. Lag putting was pretty good and I made a 20-footer for the birdie but I need to quit missing those shorties in the league on Wednesday. 
83 at Timber Greens. Never found any consistency today. 49 degrees when we (first) went out at 7:00. But it was a clear and sunny morning.
Went around the front nine in 1 hour and 40 minutes. Ran into the members going off the back nine and finished at 11:03. Had to wait on every hole.
Still, a nice morning for golf.
1st nine 45 with 4 GIR and 19 putts. Yes, I suck.
2nd nine 40 with 5 GIR and 16 putts. Including 2 doubles and 2 yakked short putts.
9 GIRs should put you in the mid 70s. hahahahahaha.
So a funny thing happened. I benched my driver after the tee shot on the 9th hole. I used my XR16 4 wood instead. And I hit it to about the same places I usually hit my good drives. It was a little hard to be sure because of the winds and the dry course conditions. But it was something I already suspected. It's been a long time since I felt my driver was hurting me. But, lately it has not behaved very well.
My gut reaction is to build a shorter heavier driver with the cheep iDrive shaft that is the same as the electric yellow FGS Plus in my 4 wood. I've got the parts so it will happen.
DonM Probably not enough to offset the accuracy of hitting 4 wood.
You want to build a shorter heavier driver… think about it. It should be more accurate than your current one due to the shorter shaft. But will carry shorter…and it’s heavier…. and you were just hitting the 4 wood around where you hit your current driver. Play some rounds using 4 wood off the tee before you go off the deep end.
