1988 Ping Eye2 copper-berylium's - square grooves grandfathered - still the best. I know the distances for the irons though I've been losing about 3 yards a year off the tee since I turned 60 22 years ago.

In fact I've long thought there was a connection between golf and shooting. Both require concentration, swinging through the target, smoothness, control, calmness, proper grip, stance. .. In fact my golf group is also my shooting group - all of us (one is missing from the photo) are Special Forces veterans and comrades of the Cold War. Walking our sporting-clays course is much like the golf course. We're out in nature, there are different "holes," each with different challenges, having to "hit" high/low balls, traps. .

Languages spoken by the above 4 Octogenarians- French, Italian, Chinese Mandarin, Turkish, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Afrikaans. A couple of us still remember smatterings of Rhade (Vietnam Montagnard language) and one still has some Vietnamese.
