83!!!!??? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

that's awesome! i've been at it for years, and maybe shot low 80s a handful of times. problem with a score like that is, now you think you can do better (see, you're already muttering about the birdies you missed, telling yourself... coulda-shoulda-woulda), and you'll be rabid in your pusuit of bettering it.

Probably shoot over 100 today [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I have to tell you. I have been really trying to think about my swing before each shot and it's been helping big time.

This Wi-FI stuff is pretty cool. I have my lap top running in the car all day long and just pull up to a business or hotel and use their internet connection.

It's amazing how many un-secured connections that are out here.

all that does for me is make it worse. well, sometimes it works. but you're thinkin, "keep head down, grip properly, take away club with your back and shoulders, make shoulder turn to target, get hips into swing, flex knees, keep legs rigid to make a coil effect" ....and ON & ON & ON!! just hit it!! i take most of my strokes thru LOUSY chipping, something even beginners can get good at in relatively short time.

Well, I developed a leak[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] not me personally[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but the PSD has[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img] It's small right now, maybe a nickel to quarter size drop. Sometimes I see it, sometimes I don't crawled up under it today, hoping something came loose[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] NOPE[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Read a couple threads on another forum about o-rings going bad. Can only hope it's not the rear seal.

Yours isnt the only one. The 2002 still has its leak. After 2 trips to the dealer.
Dad thought it was just the drain plug. I told him it was something else. He took it to the dealer, they "fixed it", and it still leaks.

Make sure the crankcase vents are clean and not clogged up. Diesels have a lot of crankcase pressure and if they can't let it out the vents it will push it out the weakest point which might be the rear main seal, valve covers, etc...

I have read that about the problem[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]Scary, you pay the dealer (at least I might) to fix the problem[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and it's still there[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
