jiggsie: my wife yells cause nothing else gets done, she says she'd like to shoot whoever invented this.
Maybe the most important thing about your post is what your wife said. Take it from a guy that is not that much younger than you...this place is habit forming so be sure you do the important things in life before it's too late.
jiggsie: Is it so I have to buy more?
This place makes money selling equipment and balls. Suggest you not invest in the top ball, at least not until you've advanced to higher tiers. Keep in mind that the club distance listed in the auto caddie does not take into consideration the additional distance you will get from a premium ball. While it's true you can hit your drives farther, it takes a lot of experience to get the most out of a hot ball with your short game. Otherwise, the added distance makes the game more frustrating as it is harder to decide exactly how much power to apply...that takes a lot of practice.
