Does miniature golf count?

Finally was warm enough to get out this weekend and this happened on the second hole. I wasn't even hitting a ball. Leaned on it as I bent down to clean the mud of my ball and bam. $70 and a trip to ping repair center This is the third shaft that has broken. Ping G25 TFC189 shaft. I am beginning to think graphite shafts have a life span. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/wLprsKj/EB83-A220-3760-4-B04-AF74-45119-CB4-C47-D.jpg) Ouch. How old are your clubs? Summer of 2013. They have a lot of rounds on them. I play mostly year round. As long as the snow is gone and it’s 35ish. The wind is a big determining factor though. We have cart enclosures and propane heaters Thank goodness for fuel injection now days Cart sits in -0 for a week, turn the key and it fires right up. I'm sure you play a whole lot more than me! I bought new Pings last year with graphite shafts, if yours lasted since 2013 I should be good for at least 10 years I'd think.

On breaking the graphite shafts: Do you leave them in the car in the summer? The excessive heat might be the issue?

Our course has cart sheds so the bag stays on the cart year round. They see a Temp swing of minus 0 to triple digits.

Ummmm, is there a reason one cannot "focus on the important things, like cigars and cart girl asses" without having to pay to hit a ball around someone's yard?
Yes, there is. Without the golf, you can't crush your friends hopes and dreams. You can't taunt them as they stand over a 4-foot putt that will be a six-foot putt coming back if they miss. 😜 One could also just go along and watch their friends not make that putt, then laugh at them, while just drinking the beer and ogling the cart girl, no? If somebody that didn't golf said something to somebody that is golfing, I am pretty sure I'd kill them. NNNNNNNNOOOONNAANN

But not soon enough It's getting there, not near soon enough! I'm in Myrtle Beach, just finished my 4th 18 hole day, one more tomorrow then home Tuesday. It's not great weather here but rain free and between 45 and 70 for the last four days and sunny for most of them, good enough. Golfed a 106 today, I'm very happy.

Does miniature golf count? Just a little!

Reds. I'm by no means good and they try to keep you moving as fast as they can down here. If I were playing from the whites I'd no doubt be another 15 or so strokes. I'm very happy with the way I played today. I'm here with my GF and her daughter so we all just hit from the reds. I'll be extremely happy if I can score under 100 this year sometime.

I prefer the GTI with the 6-speed stick shift. The DSG is quicker, but I enjoy the feeling of rowing the gears. Or are you talking about the other golf?

They're falling all over themselves because Hondatoyotamitubishi took the lead.

Lol. I'm defying Campfire tradition by not starting 115 threads on the same subject.

LOL I watched it yesterday, that Jap was on fire, especially after the rain delay. He'll be tough to catch, Rose will fade as always.
