I do like my ST180 and I wish I had an ST180 fairway instead of the GT 180, I have a gut feeling it would be a much better fit for me.
Enjoy playing golf for now and see where that leads you, Dennis. Maybe you'll get back to a whole different level one day if you stick to stretching and working out the muscles.
We had a "boys' day and night out" on Saturday. Starting with a 9-hole tournament on a par-3 course. The trick was we all had just 7 irons and on the third hole, which has a forced carry over the water, you needed to tee off with a left-handed club (or a lefty needed to use a right-handed club). Birdie was 10 points, par was 4, bogey 2, double bogey 1 and anything worse was -1 point. There were also other rules, like if you found your ball unplayable, you could take free relief and needed to drop the ball closer to the hole.
The score was tied after 9 holes and me and another guy headed for extra holes. He hit his tee shot OB but with the rules for the day his ball was soon back in play. He then hit his second shot into a greenside bunker but as it was also "an unplayable lie" he could drop the ball on the fringe on the green side and managed to make a bogey, the same as I playing the ball down. Luckily I parred the second extra hole and won the event.
After that it was drinks, food, sauna and a night in the city.
The age (and the rarity of drinking alcohol altogether nowadays) do take their toll and I was rather tired even this morning but decided to join my friend and his colleague for a round. I shot the best round of the season - +9 80 and 38 points. Maybe I need to start drinking more often again.
My new Bushnell was also great, especially with the shorter shots. Is the distance 52 or 58 meters etc.? While it might look stupid it also helped me tremendously with chip shots around the green. I could trust the club and swing for distance and it was down to concentrating on the line. I hit the pin once with a chip shot, had another lip out and a couple of more tap-ins to get up and down.
I do admit I might look stupid lasering 15-meter distances but it did help me.
