Here's a question from a non-golfer.
Can you devise a little attachment to fasten to the end of a club grip that will hold the tee, so you can remain standing upright and set the tee by holding the club head?


I could devise such an item, but you still need to bend and set the ball on the tee.

As posted last week, I had to reinstall Win 11 and recover all my settings, data and apps. At this point I believe full recovery and restore are 95% complete. My mouse has been a bit erratic, so I visited Win 11 mouse settings. I played with a few settings for a couple of days, but the behavior was still slow and erratic. About 15 minutes ago I decided to DUH - CHANGE THE BATTERIES! I had erroneously assumed the reinstallation of the OS was the cause of the weird behavior. Voila!! Think simple first!

I have an excuse I can use - I just had my 87th birthday last week. Thinking simply is not automatic!!
My mouse and I wish you a wonderful day!

That's why 90-degree, long-handled dustpans were invented... push it into the pan with your foot, then pick it up. 😂

I completed my 88th trip around the sun back in January. A friend told me we had a disease called "Old Coot-itis" and you knew you had gotten it when you realise your "Forgetter" has gotten much better than your "Rememberer".

Back problems are not easy to live with at work or at play!

My Mac reminds me when the batteries drop to less than 15% charge to "Change mouse batteries soon." It's quite convenient. I grab a spare set and put them in the drawer under the mouse pad.

I just change the batteries immediately. Problem solved? Yes-good. Nope-order new mouse.
Just don't have the patience for things anymore, and I'm only 75.

I decided to get rid of my battery operated hall lights (sensor). (Lights are supposed to last 3 months before needing recharging) Bought more than I needed. That way, I always have freshly charged lights, no batteries needed. Helps during power outages and we don't turn on lights in the upstairs hall and stairs. Don't like to bother others with harsh lights.
