I had sent this as a PM to Yoda and he asked me to post it so here it is (I just hope my golfing buddy doesn't login and see it!! -- I gave him the URL but not sure if he has created an account yet)

Yoda, just wanted to send you a quick update. My wife thought I was crazy, but I went out yesterday (for just the 3rd time this year) and played in 30+ MPH winds (same storm that went through Georgia on Friday and Saturday). I didn't score that great but I was striking the ball the best I ever have. I "nuked" several greens which is totally new for me (usually I am short of the green, but never past the green). I haven't gotten used to the new distance...especially with the short irons.

The other unusual thing was I only lost 1 ball (I usually go through quite a few in a round). The ball I lost was on a tight fairway with houses lined down the left side and the wind was blowing left to right. I started the ball down the right side and the wind pushed it OB.

The best thing about yesterday was on the back 9 I played my regular golfing buddy in match play. I outdrove him on a couple of holes (a alltime first for me!), and I beat him in the match!

Definitely getting excited about the upcoming season!!

PS-Have fun at the Masters this week!
