that was my kneejerk reaction too......can't flip a coin and have it come up heads that many times........

damn straight skippy...........even have a hogan 1 iron.........use that off the tee to great esteem..........fecks with the others heads enough to make 'em think I'm actually good at the damn game.........

when I was a kid my favorite club was a hickory stick 7 iron.

Best driver I had was a $30 metal one back 15 years ago. That head is so tiny I would have trouble hitting it now a days.

And yes this is totally baffling. His has to be relatively new technology though because one of his cars he can not reprogram but the other one he can. Same with my 2001 Durango which will not program to my opener. Even the 5 year old keypad entry I had to replace on mine. The old one was not compatible.

I doubt you can answer this but - do you know what he meant by saying; "it does not have the switches"? What switches?

Is he talking about DIP switches, like was used to program old garage door openers? Or is he referring to push buttons when he says switches? All the newer garage door openers use a "Learn" button on the opener for programming remotes very easily to the unit.

best 'driver' you ever had is the one betwixt thine ears, me bill old boy. There's an adage in golf; 'you can put draw on it, and you can put fade on it, put you can't put straight on it.'. That adage, incidentally, I have proven incorrect with just a dab of vaseline and complete and utter disregard for the PGA rulebook.

Gimme a jar of brylcream and I'll paste one 320 down the pipes for ya, every time.

but as far as the sticks go? Ever heard of Moe Norman?

One of two dudes to own his swing.

the other being my idol, hogan............

Yes the DIP switches I was referring to. His has the learn button.

Back then I practiced quite a bit. I hit one drive 300 yards. Averaged over 240 yds with a lot over 250 yds.

Not bad for somebody well over a foot shorter than the stork eh

When I was 12 years old I had a 12 handicap. If I could have learned how to putt back then I would have been around a 6 hdcp. I had many a round shooting in the low 80's with over 36 putts.

I admired Hogan too but Arnie was my guy. Bobby had the sweetest swing of em all though. Hands down the best golfer of all time IMO

dang..........36 putts? any day I walk off with more than 30 is a bad day for me.......and I've got a 1982 K-Mart special putter in my bag..........that and a bamboo shafted 1923 MacGregor 10 iron.......again, I tend to play more with the heads of the competitors than I do with the course itself........

Wacor, He won't find any DIP switches since he has a new unit. All he needs is the instruction manual and that Learn button on his operator and he can reprogram his unit, which is somethig he should try. But it still remains a complete mystery what is happening...because it should not be happening in a zillion years.

I literally could not make a putt over 3' in length. I had one round where I was 3 over par and was on every green in regulation. (9 hole round) I still am terrible at long putts. I am pretty deadly from 5 foot in and make a lot of 10-15 footers though. I am all feel and I cut my putts. Drives people nuts trying to read my putts

Have you neighbor relearn all the remotes and reset his sync between the transmitters and receivers. My guess is this will solve the problem.

Geeze all.... calm down. It's just a garage door.

Hey, Koot! Just noticed you're a Plano boy. We ought to meet up in Dallas sometime.

Ok, this thread is like a CD thread. Don't have time to read all the posts.

Another thing is if the garage doors are operated by the openers that come with them, or if the remote buttons on the vehicle are programmed for the doors. Just something to consider.
