It's amazing how much your game improves once you realize that it's golfing, so it's better than most things you could be doing, and just focus on the next shot.

The bad thing is I know that, I tell myself that before I start...but as soon as things start to go bad, I can't let it go.

I wish I was a lot better, but I played all through HS and I could never shoot under 80, and I only did that once on the easiest course around.

It sucks because my brother is like a 6 handicap, and my mom loves to play and she would pay for me to play just about anywhere around.

I have Ping G10 Irons and a G10 driver along with a Cobra 4 hybrid.

I've had these clubs for a year or so and they've been working very well for me.

I play golf normally a couple times a week, if I'm playing well I can break 90, but that's on a pretty tough course. Normally on typical public courses breaking 90 wouldn't be too much of a problem for me.

I love golfing. I try to get out every weekend, but that never seems to happen with stuff around the house and being on call every 3rd weekend for work. I'd say I get out 2-3 times per month and get to the range another handful of times.

I drive around 270yds and have solid iron play. My short game and putting is what kills me. I shoot anywhere between 85-95. Consistency is certainly my biggest issue. It seems when I'm driving great and my iron play is great, the short game/putting is poor (which happens most of the time). The rare times I get my short game/putting going, I lose control of my driver and irons and start pushing left/right. I used to have a nasty slice off the tee, but managed to correct that so now most of my mistakes are pushes.

Currently I'm playing with Callaway X-14 irons/wedges, big bertha driver/3-wood/5-wood. I want to upgrade, but I'm having a tough time convincing the wife (she is on board for a 65" plasma 3D TV at Xmas so I'm not pushing the new clubs right now!).

I'm playing a local course today here in Yakima called Apple Tree. Eastern Washington is well known for it's agriculture and this course cuts through various apple orchards along the way. It probably has my favorite Par 3 ever, an elevated tee above a apple shaped island green.

I might be hitting the links after work today. And this only gets me more fired up to round up the boys and get it done.
