Used to play lots of golf, especially after my baseball playing days ended. I never found making solid contact much of a problem, but getting it to go exactly where I wanted was a challenge. I became a pretty solid 5 handicap, but if you really want to score low consistently you have to develop your short game....chipping, putting. My knees got so bad I gave it up and really don't miss it much. I find it impossible not to enjoy.

Yeah, I wrote your name in. You didn’t vote for Trump? I thought you were Trump? You're not?

I enjoy anything outdoors, and I do enjoy the challenge, but my competitive nature compels me to be the best at what I do. That's just the way I am. In order to be really good at the game, you have to practice, a lot, a whole lot. I play occasionally with my buds nowadays since my knees feel great, but it takes way too much time. I'd rather spend that time smacking hogs, varmints, deer, etc, and occasionally fishing. I did get to play some really, really nice places though.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Travdave You should come up here and play with bearhuntr/beerhuntr. His prodigious (that means mighty) drives earned him the nickname “Samson” and many “longest drive” prizes. Not seen it and think he’s full of bull.

Shooting has started up again so I've no doubt my golf will fall off.

Flave if you ever get back to Montana go play the eagle bend golf coarse in Bigfork it is awesome, all 27 holes of it. I think shrap has mentioned that place. Thanks. It is beautiful and worth playing. Also the Old Works Course by Anaconda is worth experiencing. Jack Nicklaus design on top of old mining tailings, black sand bunkers, amazing Superfund site. Of course I haven't seen many courses that I haven't enjoyed. I don't see leaving Florida to golf in Montana. But hell, I might. I really enjoy the difference in the courses when I have the (rare) opportunity to play somewhere else, be it in the lowlands of Florida, the desert in Arizona or the mountains and prairies in the West. They all all beautiful in their own way.

Throttle back there buddy. This is a golf thread. Not a poem.

I took this sport up a couple months ago and I couldn't believe the number of parallels between hunting and shooting.
I play four to five days a week since the Believers shut down my local USPSA. It has been a fine substitute.
Does anybody else here love golf? guy from chicago moves to florida and takes up golf. unprecedented. now he's an expert on the outdoors.
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

I used to golf a lot before i got both knees busted in a wreck.
I found out that i could still do it if i wore a knee brace on my left knee.
The back is fused together so the coil spring used for long drives is a few coils short.
But i play every shot like it was new and it usually works.
Remember drive for show putt for dough.

You voted Biden. Admit it. I haven't even voted yet dumphuck. You still a Jesus-freak and a drunk, or did you get back on the wagon? Just wondering. And I doubt I will vote because, unless you live in a swing-state, it (voting) is essentially an irrational act. A better indicator of devotion to the cause is how much a person has contributed in political donations. In other words, how willing is a person to put their money where their mouth is. Care to prove up??
