Launch angle is 10*. Dont know the other two.

I'd bet that's your driver loft angle, and not necessarily the launch angle. It could be, though, particularly if your angle of attack into the ball is causing the club to radically deloft. Getting on a launch monitor that is set up by a competent analyzer/fitter would do you a great deal of good. You're undoubtedly leaving something on the table.

Frisbee golf is the best!!!

There is a course not far from here. It's pretty close to a highway and one day my girlfriend got a little too carried away and OMG one of her frisbees sailed onto the road. Luckily it didn't hit any cars but it was really funny at the time.

Back to my stories, my dad was telling me Sunday when he came down to the office and flipped on the PGA tour (being played at pebble beach) that once, when he was on his way to NorCal, to attend a friends boot camp graduation (before he was deployed to Vietnam), that along the way, him and his buddies snuck onto the course (Pebble Beach) and golfed holes 2-17. I was LMAO as I thought the story was totally hilarious- It all came about when I asked him if he had ever golfed there.

Oh, and for more detail, they came across some people who were paying patrons, and the people asked them why they didnt have carts (as only my dad and one buddy were avid golfers; and we are talking back in the early-mid 60s) and my dad replied "well me and this guy here opted to have caddies instead of carts"; as only my dad and one of the 3 other buddies were golfers).

My dad has some great stories

Its probably more like 8-9 on an average. Depends on if I move forward on the ball or not. Sometimes with my Big Bertha I'll move slightly forward on the ball to try and get more distance with less spin.

Summers are GREAT here.

I played today for the first time in exactly a year, credit card in my bag. Man was it rough with all the wind, back and knee problems I should have just had my wife hit me in the back a few times just before she hit my left knee.

It was brutal men, I had the absolute worst round in the past 10 years, of course playing atleast 3 times a week to once in a year has that effect. But it was fun.
