DeFlave: I have been SO very thankful all my life that the "golf gene" skipped me! My older brother and my younger brother both love to golf and are rather good at it - as they have done it for 40+ years now. I am not much of a golfer and only go along to visit with my brothers when they play. I have only done maybe 6 or 8 rounds of golf in my entire life. Two of the three VarmintSons are golf enthusiasts and would golf all the time were it not for work necessity. I hit a 7 iron once from about 120 yards out that landed within a yard of the "hole" - my brothers were excited at that. I would rather roam the hills with a gun than walk a course. I don't know why. Enjoy your new exer-hobby. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy P.S.: I seriously fingered one of the Watley sisters on the 18th green at Maplewood golf course (Renton, Washington) late one Saturday night, when I was in high school - does that count for anything?

VG,
I'd say that makes you the greatest golfer of all time.
18 years ago my wife (now ex) took up golf. She started hanging out at the local golf course all the time, divorced me 3 years later, then moved in with the guy who owned the golf course. Last I heard, she married him - guess she liked golf so much she wanted to own a golf course
I've golfed a few times many years ago - really liked it but felt I had too many other irons in the fire to pursue it. The thought of it now tends to bring back bad memories...
I figured out I can cuss and drink beer without paying green fees. Win/win Golf’s only redeeming quality is that you get to drive a tiny car around while cussing and drinking beer. If you walk the course you’re doing it wrong.

I can believe that.
It seems all the bars and club houses at schitt golf courses are filled with wives looking for another Driver.
Hi deflave, I really enjoy golf too. 1995 to 2016 I was in at least two summer leagues. Don’t play as much now as me and the usual suspects are all busy with school age kids.
Towards the end I felt like I finally had my equipment dialed in to my skill set. Had my handicap whittled down to a 7. Doubt I could play anywhere near that today.
Wonderful, challenging past time...wishing you many memorable rounds.

I love cussing and drinking so it's a pretty natural fit.
Although I will say that when I want to make somebody feel bad about themselves I golf sober.

Maybe if you take it up again we could be golf buddies.
If i play my slice I’m doing good. Putting meh. Can’t drive off the tee to save my life.
I had nobody to really help me get started but I do have a friend around Chicago that's exceptionally good and plays all the time.
I asked him which club to start with, he recommended the nine iron. Once I got that down at the driving range I moved all the way up to the four and played only irons for about a month.
LOL
I actually think I benefited from that because I was only learning one type of swing and then slowly incorporating other clubs.

We ( my buds and I) had accluaated , akquired a few klubs, I think we stole 'em.
We would hoof it onto said coarse with the clubs. No gulf balls. We then would play every ball we came across . We would play to the farthest flag we could see.
Yass, it was trememendoos fun.
My only other gulfing experience was when I would shoot a ball "T'd" up at the moment of strike from the other side of the V River, with my .22-250.

My folks enjoyed golf and introduced me to the game. Never could do anything with a driver except slice it. Oddly enough I could storm the castle with irons. Long time back a PGA tour wanker named Lee Trevino got sparked by a lightning bolt while playing. He said “Not even God can hit a 1 iron”. I could out drive my old man with a 1 iron such that it weirded him out a little. The game did not excite me much. Mom wound up as President of the Florida Woman’s Golf Assn for a spell. I went to Nam and blew stuff up.
Different strokes for different folks they used to say.

Do you swallow to?😉 I get lucky every now and then. I can rip a 5, 7, 9 iron Can’t hit a driver to save my life.

I played when I was younger. It was a good excuse to drink lots of beer in the sun. Used to get quite a few looks around hole 16, after a beer a hole. Funnily enough, I'd often par the last three holes.
Golf is for folks who can’t fish. JS. Best freshwater fishing we have here is on the golf courses. Golf courses are also useful for breeding Egyptian Geese and Black-bellied Whistling ducks.

Are you saying you can't golf, or that you don't golf?
Golf is nothing more than a good walk ruined. Of course from my perspective, a good round of golf is when you end up with more golf balls in you golf bag than you started the day with. I also hope to live long enough to score my age for 18 holes and I need at least another thirty years to do that with no further erosion of limited golf skills.

I think it would be hard to hone one's skills if you lived in ND and MN.
I HIGHLY doubt a Polak could get their head wrapped around the concept.
Playing Golf..... Kickball (World Football) ......Manchester United! Glock fell to the floor. The + extension separated from magazine body which remained in the pistol. Ammo, spring, retention cup, extension, ammunition spread over the floor. No more magazine extensions for me.
I had to learn to play golf a few years ago when I was sent into Iran on a covert mission. Turns out the contact was an Iranian who grew up in Japan and developed a love for the game, and he wanted to have our meeting on the only golf course in Iran, which doesn't even have 18 holes. So I went into an intensive golf training program outside of Langley and ended up learning so well that I beat Barack Obama one day (it was in the locker room).
I hit a dozen holes in one on the Iranian course and was recruited to join the Iranian Olympic golf team.
I live on a nice little golf course. I play or practice nearly every day during the happy months. 30+ year golfer. It amazes me what pro's can do, and their consistency. I do take lessons and work on things with a pro each season. Have 5 different teaching/playing pros numbers in my phone. I play lots of amateur tournaments, but I'm not enjoying the local leagues as much as the past because of the stupid USGA handicap system. Getting to single digits was hard. Getting to a 6 handicap was a lot of work. Trying to get to scratch is stupid crazy hard. Staying a single digit after the age of 55 is a challenge worthy of the effort.
The short game is critical. Clean ball striking is mandatory. Long irons and distance control. Fairway metals off the deck. Putting. Chipping. Putting. Chipping. Putting. Wedge work. Equipment fitting. Driving. Swing analysis. Finding consistency. When to be patient. When to go for it. Using the right ball for your game. Dealing with weather conditions and wind. Everyone hits bad shots and poor putts. Good golfers don't follow up a bad shot or a poor putt with another one. Lots of challenges wrapped up in a total package. The end result is just a number on a card that does not tell the whole story of a round. A 2' putt is the same as a 300yd drive on that scorecard. Met lots of great folks while playing, and some not so good folks too.
I will play until I simply can not. Golf is life. "Just playin' thru!"

Bofem, or both in non-Floridian. Same for dancin. Lol
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.

Or Safariman. Did Safariman golf? Does his old lady Assphault Angle? Anybody got some pics of her in a thong on the green? Topless please.
Thanks for posting this 'flave. When I saw it I was all like Gruff...all negative and such, but then I started thinking about women related to it and decided this whole thing is a danged good thread. That chick in Happy Gilmore was damned hawt. The one in Billy Madison was too. I didn't like the Gator gettin' Apollo Creed's hand though. That kindly sucked ass.
Is there anything as fugging stupid as golf? Honestly.
Sheesh
Rap music is the only thing I can come up with .......
I like Kanye and Fitty Cent. They're pro-Trump at least part of the time, like Denzel. I don't know any of their music though since my tastes run more to Skuzz Twittley.

My golf experience is limited to sneaking onto the Rolling Hills golf course in Tucson, AZ as a boy with my buddies, catching catfish out of the water hazard, and being chased off by the greens keeper. It was great sport.

There are some big ass bull frogs in some of them ponds too! Don’t think I’d try it in floridia tho....

Now THAT’S what I’m talking about. Same here for golf courses all over South Florida. Didn’t catch too many catfish, but lots of bass, tarpon, snook, and more recently peacock bass. Like I said earlier, it’s the best freshwater fishing down here. I mostly stick to salt now.

Not a bad idea.
I've seen kids fishing at more than one golf course but nobody seems to care.

You know that course in Pembroke Lakes?
Lots of nice looking water in there but I think they'd run you off. Sonsabitches were uppity.

Next thing you know, you will be telling us Chinese flu is real and placing bets on football games..
I play 2-3 times a week, have played since i was 13. At one time i was about a 10 handicap,. but not now. Be careful, it's easy to start "collecting" new golf equipment, and a new set of clubs is as much as a custom rifle!.
Love it and hate it. Been playing since active duty days when it was cheap and fun for the whole gang. Now playing during the week is like punishment since the phone rings non stop and the work keeps distracting me. Weekends and holidays are great though. If you can relax it is a lot of fun. Many of my old pardners are hanging it up due to poor health. I'm still giving it a go and will till I die. Love to hit that driver 300 down the middle when it happens.

To be truthful, I was just busting Clarkes balls. If I were stuck in an urban or suburban setting and had money to burn I can see the attraction. I've just got too many hobbies and not enough time. Plus, for every Joe sixpack there's a couple effete rich corksuckers. I caddied once. Ranch owner I was working for when I was in HS took me along. I like working for my money, but I'm nobody's jigger. Soured me on the whole "sport".
But for that Paige Spirinac or Springinac or Cognac, whatever I could be talked into a round or 2.
Must be something to it, all the high dollar acreage devoted to golf courses. I guess when ya can no longer play football or baseball or soccer, there's golf.

In many places Interstates are the safest place.
This from a guy who doesn't GAS about "asserting his right to the road" etc etc, just doesn't want to get run over too soon.
The further you can stay out of the flow of traffic the better, for both sides.

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 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.
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.

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.

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??
You said golf is like shooting, I'd believe it. Hunting feels like bird watching,
Feel free to explain that.
I already derailed the thread enough but......
ya gotta read the habitat and read the season, read your senses, be quiet and be patient, and search. Ya gotta know all about what you seek.
Once I drove 2,053 miles to find a Connecticut warbler, drove over half of Minnesota in June. Finally found one in the state park that lies between Warroad and Red Lake (Bemidji Island?).
On the way I seen Lake Superior from the high ground above Duluth, from where the shoreline looks just like the maps. Seen the Boundary Waters, seen the Rainy River (flows west!) and seen Lake of the Woods at a season when first light was around 4am.
I ain’t ever likely to go shoot a moose in Alaska but I imagine the takeaway is much the same, in the end it doesn’t matter all that much if you shoot a moose or not.

Can't answer a simple question apparently? Well, is the neighbor ass-[bleep] the wife in your absence or not? Is he also doing your daughter (when you're not)? Just answer the damn questions. Stop evading!

Calling in reinforcements because you're too big a pussy to handle your own business? So like you. The bully meets his match so he has to rally the rest of the 3rd graders to help him out. [bleep] puzzy.

Do you play golf? Or do lay out quietly in the woods all day long, ignoring the fire ants, claymore buried in the sand trap, smoking a cigarette while waiting for golfers to enter the kill zone?
Indeed, I did. I was most impressed that he seemed to think that having a wife who pays the bills was somehow a negative. My wife pulls down seven figures as I post pictures of soup. I am proud of that.

mightplay next week when i get a new pair of flip flops.
Ya ya don’t wanna blow your flip flop, step on a pop top, cut your heel and cruise on back home.
Rog need to try a decent course every once in a while.
my eye doctor buddy who pretty much grew up with my brothers and me and put himself through school working for me, moved back from PA after he sold his practice, he loves playing golf and bought an extra set of clubs so i could play when i have time. You would never know he is Dr if you met him, shorts t shirt and flip flops.

Alright, I golf. Actually golf a lot. Even do it for a living - work in the industry that is. A few tips for the newbie:
Those plaid shorts of yours? Perfect.
Only drink beer while on the course (preferably Bud Light in cans) - clubhouse is for martinis or Manhattan type cocktails.
Golf carts are okay, NEVER carry your clubs or egads, a pull cart. Caddies are even better. $50 minimum tip.
Even if you play with Topflite brand balls or the like; when someone asks you "what are you playing" when you have a lost ball, always say "Pro V1". They'll think you're a baller. Maybe you'll get a free $5 ball out of the deal.
Gimmes are only taken when offered. That being said, offer the first gimme. It'll soften up your playing partner.
Footwedge only when you're positive you can't be seen. Same with taking a piss - make sure you're in the woods out-of-bounds. This will come after multiple Bud Lights and there's never a restroom around when you need it on a golf course. Regarding going #2, plan ahead. Golf towels can be used in a pinch. BTDT.
Only yell FORE when you're reasonably sure someone is going to get hit. Maybe for near misses too. Keep it to a minimum. People will think you're a hack if you do it too much.
Don't throw clubs, yell expletives, or have a general temper tantrum when you hit a bad shot. It's inevitable in golf, even for the best pros. Quiet pain like an Apache being thrown off a cliff also shows you're a baller.
When you shank one 2 fairways over, own it. When you hit it on the green from there people will think you're a baller.
Too much time at the ball washer and people will talk.
Tip when they take the clubs from your car, tip the help that cleans and loads your clubs after the round, and for the love of God - tip the beer cart girl well. She'll come back to see you more often.

Indeed, I did. I was most impressed that he seemed to think that having a wife who pays the bills was somehow a negative. My wife pulls down seven figures as I post pictures of soup. I am proud of that.

I've got to rethink my anti golf thing I'm picking up what you're putting down here CF
Salty, there's a couple of those tournaments now where one of the Par 3's is completely surrounded by grandstands. Like a Metallica concert when guys step up on the box and drop one a foot from the hole.

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?
I know duck911 loves golf. Maybe you two can link up and play couple games. Then enjoy some dessert coffee..xoxoxoxo
Yes, I have a 4 handicap. Played (intermural) in college. Was too busy parting to play collegiately.
Love me some golf, 2-3 days a week (rounds), another day or two pitching and putting for practice.
I have a hard time believing any respectable golf course would let deflave in the course. If for no other reason than drunk driving, rolling golf carts.

That dudes pretty cool.
Even for a golfer.
If'n you want to meet JD, go to Augusta, GA the first weekend in April. Look for a quarter million dollar RV parked along side Hooter's on Washington (main drag). $20 bucks gets you a t-shirt with his signature on it. It may or may not have a cigarette burn on it too.

Actually golfing is much more fun than watching golf on tv.
You don't bet golf then.
A few weeks ago, I agonized over a 45 foot putt in a playoff that dropped in and won me damn near $10k. I about chit my pants. Biggest golf hit ever for me.

I am a profitable sports bettor, with about a 23% ROI over the last 5 years.... but it ebbs and flows. I have had a great 2 weeks in NFL (went small on tonight's NFL game but cleared $142). But I can go weeks in the tank.
It is not about big glitzy hits, it is about grinding out profit over time.
But the science, math, and research behind it is fun, since I am very analytical.

Use to play up until 25 years ago. It was a real epiphany, realizing all the time wasted playing a game I really did not enjoy. Kind of like not watching sports that last few years.

Duck O' Dumb Bucket,
I bet listening to you remind everybody how conservative you are makes for a fun 18 holes.
Co-worker walking up to the tee box and Duck be all "Seriously man, this virus is novel and exponential and my daughter's on the front line of ground zero."
My Dad was a scratch golfer all my life, however he maintained his amateur status. He was the Colonial Country Club Champion several times. We traveled as a family to many of the Pro Tour destinations. Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, La Costa, Palm Springs, Hawaii, etc., and he had a room full of trophies. Personally, I couldn't ever find a putter that worked and my best handicap was a 14. I was much more into shooting sports. I do have a funny golf story to relate. My Dad was playing in a foursome with perhaps the cheapest member of the club. This guy was known to have picked up other peoples tips off of tables left for waitresses. He was one of those "I'll pay you later" guys. My Dad was driving a cart and saw this cheapskate kick his ball about 4 feet behind a tree. My dad reaches in his pocket and palms a $100.00 bill from his pocket. When he pulls up, El Cheapo says "Hey your lie is behind this tree". My Dad casually walks over & bends down... ....and exclaims: "Hey look, someone dropped a C-note!" and pretends to pick it up and unfold it. This drives the guy nuts! He admits to moving his ball explaining he'd have never found it if he hadn't moved his ball, and that my Dad should give him half. My Dad's only response was: "Sorry buddy". For a month this guy tried to get my Dad to split the $100.00.

I live on a golf course and have never even swung a golf club. I was for several years assistant superintendent/waterman on an exclusive private golf course, which left a bad taste in my mouth for both golf and golfers.

If you ever change your mind, we could be golf buddies.
Golf is nothing more than a good walk ruined. Of course from my perspective, a good round of golf is when you end up with more golf balls in you golf bag than you started the day with. I also hope to live long enough to score my age for 18 holes and I need at least another thirty years to do that with no further erosion of limited golf skills.

Consider starting your own Sports Betting Hedge Fund. Keep 20% of the profits made off of OPM along with your own winnings.
Check out Dr. Michael Burry and his now closed Scion Hedge Fund. He had an idea and Capitalized on it bigly. “The Big Short “.
He made me and 2 others quite a pile of money. But it was a bumpy ride.

Back in my golfing days, one afternoon, me and an associate decided to play 9 holes. He invited his friend, John, to join us. John arrived and was attired in nearly all red...shirt, shorts, hat, even his golf bag was mostly red. Of course, for the golf course this wasn't necessarily out of place. Me and my bud rode in a cart, while John walked the 9, pulling a cart.
Mid-way, while proceeding to the next tee, we followed John across a bridge surrounded by large landscape boulders. The punch line ocurred to both of us at the same time. Had John fallen off the bridge, it would be, "Johnny walker red on the rocks."
Used to play quite a bit and was pretty nuts about it as a kid and young adult. I was decent. Never had an official handicap but a good day was a 79, a great day a little lower and a bad day was 85-87. Never broke par. To get much better than I was you really would have to practice and play A LOT.
Two things happened. 1) My golf buddies got married or moved. 2) I was taken deer hunting and killed one......after that for years all I wanted to do was hunt deer. Plus I had to fit in some time for fishing. I drifted away from it and have probably played 5 times in the last decade.
Anyway, there are certainly a lot of similarities between shooting sports and golf. I've never done trap, skeet or sporting clays but by all appearances it ain't nothing but golf with a shotgun. Much the same psychology involved and the same need to focus and concentrate.
If i play my slice I’m doing good. Putting meh. Can’t drive off the tee to save my life.
I had nobody to really help me get started but I do have a friend around Chicago that's exceptionally good and plays all the time.
I asked him which club to start with, he recommended the nine iron. Once I got that down at the driving range I moved all the way up to the four and played only irons for about a month.
LOL
I actually think I benefited from that because I was only learning one type of swing and then slowly incorporating other clubs.
But I still suck.
I'm going to have to try the Iron method. I am a novice and don't play much but I love it when I do. I play for the fun and laughing at myself and making others laugh is what I'm good at when it comes to golf. lol I'm horrible with the exception of my short game. I can actually putt pretty good.
I really want to be good at the game because it is such a good feeling when you finally hit a good shot with a driver that doesn't slice in to the tulies.
My golf experience is limited to sneaking onto the Rolling Hills golf course in Tucson, AZ as a boy with my buddies, catching catfish out of the water hazard, and being chased off by the greens keeper. It was great sport.
Now THAT’S what I’m talking about. Same here for golf courses all over South Florida. Didn’t catch too many catfish, but lots of bass, tarpon, snook, and more recently peacock bass. Like I said earlier, it’s the best freshwater fishing down here. I mostly stick to salt now.
You know that course in Pembroke Lakes?
Lots of nice looking water in there but I think they'd run you off. Sonsabitches were uppity.
Absolutely, Taft and Palm Ave. my cousins and best friend grew up living on that golf course. We were pretty young, but fished the hell out of it when I was there. The golf course ranger used to chase us on his golf cart all the time, and was very familiar with all of our parents. Now there’s peacock bass everywhere around there (and most of the other canals and lakes in the area), which weren’t there when we were kids.
My Grandmother lived in Century (Cemetery) Village on Pines just before I-75. We were able to get past the guard gate in front because of that and fish that course too. Caught a lot of fish there too.
I grew up east of there in Hollywood, closer to the beach. Because it was close to the salt, we had a ton of saltwater fish which either became landlocked or adapted to the freshwater. While the only game in town out west was catching bass, we caught bass plus tarpon, snook, jacks, snappers and an occasional shark on the East golf courses.
What I always failed to understand what’s why folks would pay a guide to go fish at the lake (Okeechobee), when we would out fish them 10 to 1 with larger fish fishing the local canals and lakes, plus catching saltwater fish too.
Guess I caught the fishing bug too early to be caught up with golf. My Grandfather played quite a bit, and took me along when I was young to drive the cart. I always brought a fishing rod and fished while he golfed.
If i play my slice I’m doing good. Putting meh. Can’t drive off the tee to save my life.

I used to hit one ball a day out into the horse pasture with my old 3 wood. Teed it up from my dirt two track driveway with my faithful retriever watching. One swing and away she'd go. 200 yards into the tall grass couldn't stop her. She'd drop that ball back where it was hit from every time.
That was the only golf I played for several years. Probably the most fun too.
anytime friends can hang out and drink beer is a good day.
True Dat!
Some of the most fun you can have is a bunch of buddies leaning over a pickup box with a few cases of beer inside and shooting the chidt on a nice day.
Geez. If somebody ever intentionally runs me down from behind on a golf course they'll get a 5 iron upside the head. That's bs.
Carts are all schits and giggles till someone gets hurt. I was once playing in a big golf tournament put on by a local radio station. Booze was flowing all day, lunch, dinner and prizes, free shots at the tee boxes, got a massage on one hole, it was a great time. The tournament was wrapping up and the parking lot was busy with guys putting their clubs away and changing shoes. Suddenly these two guys in a cart come bombing into the parking lot hauling ass and drunkenly tried to put the cart into a broad slide right next to us. He rolled it hard right there on the asphalt right on top of his friend's head. We got the cart back up on it's wheels and this poor guy was hurt bad. Knocked out cold with his teeth knocked out. He had to be life flighted out of there. Rough day of golf.
When I was about 10-12 my dad and his best friend would try to sneak away once a month or so to the local course and shoot a round of golf. They were both pretty terrible but liked to go get away from the wife and kids and drink a couple cold beers on a nice afternoon. Me and my dad’s buddy’s kid would beg to go hang with them and they’d give in and let us occasionally. Once we’d get there we’d beg and plead to drive the carts, we had no interest in golf but getting to drive anything is awesome when you’re 11.
So one day we’d weaseled our way into going and had even talked them into letting us drive. All was going swimmingly until about the 6th hole. Dad hits a nice one straight down the fairway and hops back into the cart and tells me to take him down to his ball. We buzz down there and I park the cart approximately 7 inches from his ball. He gets a club and tells me to get the damn cart out of his way, what am I an idiot? What happened next is as clear as if it were yesterday.
I cut the wheel all the way to the left and floored it, making a big circle around to end up behind the old man. Meanwhile he’s taken his club and assumed the position and I pull up behind him. Stomped the brake at which point my greasy old flip flop slides off my foot and I tromp the gas. Ran smack into the Old Man, he never saw it coming. He flew through the windshield doubled over and landed wedged between the front of the seat and the dashboard with his legs and head sticking out the front of the cart. I’m jerking the wheel like a madman in a total panic all the while standing on the gas going as fast as the cart will take us down the fairway while Pop cusses a blue streak telling me to “Stop this Fuchking thing!”
His buddy and his kid were laughing their asses off. Sprained the schit out of Dad’s wrist, spilled his beer all over my lap. He was one mad Mofo. Then since his wrist was fugged and he’d paid for 18 he made me play the rest of the course. I think having to play and be serious was the worst punishment I could have got, I just knew that he was going to whip my ass if I fugged up.
Looking back 20 years later I can still picture the whole thing and I laugh my ass off every time I think about it. The Old Man still doesn’t think it was funny 😄
As I've said here not so long ago, I just started last August.
I just bought a new set of Ping 410's (I liked the Callaway's better but the Pings were much less at the time) with a 410 Driver and a new Ping putter. I got a 3 and 4 420 Hybred but no woods, can't hit a wood to save my azz. I'm still getting used to them. Started last year with a set of Tour Edge cavity backs and a Taylor Made M2 driver. Gave them to my son when I got the new clubs. Still getting used to the new ones and I still suck but I take a flask of Whiskey with me every time I go and have a great time.
I have back issues and need surgery so I am pretty worn out after 18 holes but I've done 36 before. Usually drunk by the end though.
While attending one the boys all-star baseball games......a fellow Dad (dentist) pulled up in his golf cart, after being at the local country club.
While I gave him the game update......unknown to me, two other Dad's unbuckled his clubs from the rear of the cart.
After impressing everyone.....Dad took off for the golf course again.......spilling/spreading all his expensive clubs all over Sunnyside Ave.
Felt bad for him.
A terrible story......but I told it so well.
LMAO
I saw a clan of dudes pull that on a guy the other day around the 16th hole. Late afternoon, and they were smashed.
I could not stop laughing.
About three weeks ago a bunch of us were up in Erie to fish for steelhead, we also golf a bunch on this trip.
First time out on the course my buddy's dad was riding with me, we had five of us. After the turn another buddy of mine, the guy that was riding with me's nephew took his clubs and put them on my other friends cart insinuating that I was driving my cart too radical for him to be riding with me. It was all in fun and we all laughed about it.
Well after Teeing off on 10 we drove up and after looking for a ball my friend with by buddy's dads clubs on his cart came driving over to help me. He stops and takes off and my buddy's dads clubs go flying off the cart. I laughed and picked them up and put them back on his cart. He drives away and I look down and there laying in the grass is about 6 inches of club with the head of the driver attached to it. Broke the driver right off the shaft. Couldn't believe it.

Where'd yins golf in Erie?
Green Meadows outside of North East, a lot of it is narrow but it's a nice course. And Downing municipal golf course in Harborcreek, I thought it was a real nice course.
We stay at Dohler Cottages at 20 mile and fish the mouth of 20 mile the last week of September every year.
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?
Started playing golf when young - love the game - but no longer play - have not done so for over 20 years. Also have done a ton of hunting and shooting since the early 1960s and the golf parallels you mention seem to have been lost on me. Would you care to state your evidence of such?
Used to play quite a bit and was pretty nuts about it as a kid and young adult. I was decent. Never had an official handicap but a good day was a 79, a great day a little lower and a bad day was 85-87. Never broke par. To get much better than I was you really would have to practice and play A LOT.
Two things happened. 1) My golf buddies got married or moved. 2) I was taken deer hunting and killed one......after that for years all I wanted to do was hunt deer. Plus I had to fit in some time for fishing. I drifted away from it and have probably played 5 times in the last decade.
Anyway, there are certainly a lot of similarities between shooting sports and golf. I've never done trap, skeet or sporting clays but by all appearances it ain't nothing but golf with a shotgun. Much the same psychology involved and the same need to focus and concentrate.
I see less similarities with shotgunning than pistol and rifle.
I'm going to have to try the Iron method. I am a novice and don't play much but I love it when I do. I play for the fun and laughing at myself and making others laugh is what I'm good at when it comes to golf. lol I'm horrible with the exception of my short game. I can actually putt pretty good.
I really want to be good at the game because it is such a good feeling when you finally hit a good shot with a driver that doesn't slice in to the tulies.
It works in my opinion.
If you really break down a 350ish par four, and you're struggling with the driver, it just makes sense to ditch it and stay consistent with your irons.
My golf experience is limited to sneaking onto the Rolling Hills golf course in Tucson, AZ as a boy with my buddies, catching catfish out of the water hazard, and being chased off by the greens keeper. It was great sport.
Now THAT’S what I’m talking about. Same here for golf courses all over South Florida. Didn’t catch too many catfish, but lots of bass, tarpon, snook, and more recently peacock bass. Like I said earlier, it’s the best freshwater fishing down here. I mostly stick to salt now.
You know that course in Pembroke Lakes?
Lots of nice looking water in there but I think they'd run you off. Sonsabitches were uppity.
Absolutely, Taft and Palm Ave. my cousins and best friend grew up living on that golf course. We were pretty young, but fished the hell out of it when I was there. The golf course ranger used to chase us on his golf cart all the time, and was very familiar with all of our parents. Now there’s peacock bass everywhere around there (and most of the other canals and lakes in the area), which weren’t there when we were kids.
My Grandmother lived in Century (Cemetery) Village on Pines just before I-75. We were able to get past the guard gate in front because of that and fish that course too. Caught a lot of fish there too.
I grew up east of there in Hollywood, closer to the beach. Because it was close to the salt, we had a ton of saltwater fish which either became landlocked or adapted to the freshwater. While the only game in town out west was catching bass, we caught bass plus tarpon, snook, jacks, snappers and an occasional shark on the East golf courses.
What I always failed to understand what’s why folks would pay a guide to go fish at the lake (Okeechobee), when we would out fish them 10 to 1 with larger fish fishing the local canals and lakes, plus catching saltwater fish too.
Guess I caught the fishing bug too early to be caught up with golf. My Grandfather played quite a bit, and took me along when I was young to drive the cart. I always brought a fishing rod and fished while he golfed.
jim thats what i thought but its actually pretty fun. hell think i'll call Nat and go sunday, was going to shark fish down the island, but they're calling for tides up to the dunes tomorrow afternoon.

I used to hit one ball a day out into the horse pasture with my old 3 wood. Teed it up from my dirt two track driveway with my faithful retriever watching. One swing and away she'd go. 200 yards into the tall grass couldn't stop her. She'd drop that ball back where it was hit from every time.
That was the only golf I played for several years. Probably the most fun too.

Every dude that ever threw a leg over a high performance motocross bike (myself included) wanted to do this and watch those stuffy, plaid shorts wearing oldsters schiittt themselves...🤣

use run my yz80 on the golf course when i was 13, got chase by the cops more than once.
Some guy took me to a drive range to show me how it works and I was crushing it like Daily used to.. they talked me into joining a league and I did that for a few years...
Result - you get to learn what type of person is the second they run into strife on the course.
Finding a “short game” is harder (at least for me) than smoking a LONG drive.

I bought a set of used clubs for $150.
There's a bastard 8 iron in there but otherwise it's a set of Pings.
Going sunday with Nat, to the course in Sinton Tx, buddy Randy who use to work for me and played on the king high school golf team is going to try and make it. got to get a couple of 18 packs, can't buy beer before noon on sundays and we are going to tee off by 8am.

Yeah I guess if a guy moves some place over ran with people with no decent hunting you could almost see him taking up golf. Kind of like some straight guys that get sent to jail for a long time and end up full fledged knob gobblers by the time they're out. Life's cruel.

Fuggin A.
I dont have anything other than work clothes.
i wear what i fell comfortable in, f-ck the other people if they don't like it. why we don't play at northshore much anymore.
Funnest thing I remember about golf was going to the Navy recreation field in San Diego for picnics.
We kids would sneak out on their gold course, wait till a foursome got all their shots on the green. Then, while they were walking up we'd run out on the green and shuffle balls around, or sometimes chuck 'em back the way they came.
Old duffers would be cussin' us something fierce.
Then we'd sneak back and get a piece of watermelon

Don't forget the "no fear" sticker.
sinton's not one of my favorite towns, actually not many around here i care for, but Nat said they have a nice course i guess for down here. northshore is nice but they didn't like me taking off the softshells head with the 9 iron and throwing it in the ice chest. someone saw me do it.

Can you not buy more than 18 beers in the same box in Texas?
He's lucky he can buy beer where he lives...........at least that's the way it was in the old day (70's)
TX used to have a lot of dry counties, not sure if they still do. And "Blue Laws" where you couldn't buy booze of any type on Sundays even in a wet county/city.
But Roger can explain it better about the 18 packs.
Can you not buy more than 18 beers in the same box in Texas?
I once lost my [bleep] on my boss for buying an 18 pack because they make a 30. Then the next day I walked out of the gas station with 18 pack with him driving because it’s all they had. One of my best moments and he still brings it up when I’m being a douche bag.
I get a rare opportunity to play the (relatively) new TPC Colorado course next week - a client of ours is taking me for a round out of appreciation. The public is generally not allowed in the course so I am pretty pumped. I am too cheap to pay the $25,000 initiation fee and monthly truck payment to be a member. The tee box is a mile or so from my front door though, so I crash the putting greens weekly.
I am also working the Korn Ferry tour and LPGA events next year out there just for fun. Volunteering for PGA events kicks ass, if you are a real golf fan.
And, Patrick Reed is in 6th place currently in this weeks PGA event, if he goes top 10 I'll have a nice ~$2k hit.
as in "And, Patrick Reed is in 6th place currently in this weeks PGA event, if he doesn't go top 10 I'll have a nice $1k loss." Or whatever the loss might be.

Your client is expecting a reach around for the favor . Something tells me since you are such a golf fan that you’ll overachieve . Lol

I did, actually, in a thread just yesterday - look it up. Even posted my general ROI (Return on Investment).
My Patrick Reed bet was a free $40 bet (promo that MGM ran, because they are relatively new in Colorado). He was a long shot at 66-1, if I recall correctly.
I have never made a $1000 bet in my life. I bet for fun, I am profitable, and it is discretionary funds. A $50 bet is RICH for me, but I am good at analytics and sports theory so I tend to do really well.
I always wonder why "conservatives" here question gambling.
As a conservative, I generally NEVER question how another runs their life....

Didn't see your post yesterday. Oops???
if you're happy gambling, I see no problem with it.
I'm not into "sports gambling" though, there's nothing there I have any control over. And too many things, even with "analytics" and such, that can go wrong. The proverbial "bad bounce" of the puck off the glass stanchion and there goes a sure win. Scheidt lke that.
A single deck blackjack game is a different story though, or should I say "was", back when I could remember every card that had been played. I could hold my own "gambling" like that. Folks in other chairs could sure screw up the game though.
I hope Mr Reed does well for your sake. If not, discretionary money is just that.

My opinion of it is that it's not for me. (hence "I'm not into "sports gambling" though, there's nothing there I have any control over.")
Some evenings you really do make it hard to get along with you.

i need another hobby like i need a hole in the head but i would not mind taking up golf. i've done par 3 courses around here a few times.
i would definitely invest in some lessons if i took it up. i have heard that it will really help beginners. not sure if that is true or not. plus i'd look great in those obnoxious golf clothes

I enjoy a bit of golf. I’m not much on keeping score and play for the occasional great shot. If I do keep score, a good round I’ll break 100. Would average maybe high 90’s -105. My putting is suspect at best. Lol.
Got to go to the US Open when it was out here a few years back. Pretty cool experience.
Lessons wouldn't hurt but I just watched The Legend of Bagger Vance a couple of times and called it good.
Tin Cup has some pointers as well.
I highly suggest a 30 minute three-session lesson with the PGA/USGA teaching pro of your choice. It is very important to establish a correct swing early in your game development. It is worth every penny to get the tips for correct set up and swing plane. Putting alignment and short game footwork/swing can be one of the lessons.
Course management will come with time and you learning your abilities.

I'd love too, but my shoulder is far too shot for golf. It's a fun game and a damn shame I can't play it in retirement. The way I drive a cart, I need a full face motorcycle helmet.

I have a long time client who has become wealthy as a pro gambler in Las Vegas. He believes that legalized gambling is a tax on the poor and stupid. He only gambles at cards. poker, gin and bridge.and says that anyone who can't recall 100 numbers on demand shouldn't play for money. He also says that most smart pros never bet on anything w/ a referee.
Sports books make a fortune on suckers who think that can beat the spread.

The tee box is a mile or so from my front door though, so I crash the putting greens weekly.
I am also working the Korn Ferry tour and LPGA events next year out there just for fun. Volunteering for PGA events kicks ass, if you are a real golf fan.
And, Patrick Reed is in 6th place currently in this weeks PGA event, if he goes top 10 I'll have a nice ~$2k hit.
A PGA groupee. That does not surprise me.
Paul,
Perhaps next time you visit we could play a round.
I will ask that you not wear your bicycle helmet.
I'd love too, but my shoulder is far too shot for golf. It's a fun game and a damn shame I can't play it in retirement. The way I drive a cart, I need a full face motorcycle helmet.
I have a dislocate collar bone that healed that way, never went to the hospital, it just kinda floats around. i can still shoot a bow or play golf.
The bow drawing motion is one of the most difficult for me. I had a total reconstruction that was installed wrong. They tore half of it out, so now I have a titanium ball that rests on a bone rather than a socket.
I'm not into "sports gambling" though, there's nothing there I have any control over. And too many things, even with "analytics" and such, that can go wrong. The proverbial "bad bounce" of the puck off the glass stanchion and there goes a sure win. Scheidt lke that.
Well, as you "are not into sports gambling" it is humorous that you have an opinion on it. And your reply makes it clear you really don't even understand the science of it.
Reply when you understand the importance of the numbers 3 and 7 in NFL spreads, or 41 in O/U bets.
Plenty of folks like me are math idiots and sports fans who are very profitable in sports betting...
Even if you have no clue.'
I have a long time client who has become wealthy as a pro gambler in Las Vegas. He believes that legalized gambling is a tax on the poor and stupid. He only gambles at cards. poker, gin and bridge.and says that anyone who can't recall 100 numbers on demand shouldn't play for money. He also says that most smart pros never bet on anything w/ a referee.
Sports books make a fortune on suckers who think that can beat the spread.

What??
is this some backup I'm feeling here?
Puck luck, and unlucky bounce, a poor decision by a ref are nothing to bet on?
When I was about 10-12 my dad and his best friend would try to sneak away once a month or so to the local course and shoot a round of golf. They were both pretty terrible but liked to go get away from the wife and kids and drink a couple cold beers on a nice afternoon. Me and my dad’s buddy’s kid would beg to go hang with them and they’d give in and let us occasionally. Once we’d get there we’d beg and plead to drive the carts, we had no interest in golf but getting to drive anything is awesome when you’re 11.
So one day we’d weaseled our way into going and had even talked them into letting us drive. All was going swimmingly until about the 6th hole. Dad hits a nice one straight down the fairway and hops back into the cart and tells me to take him down to his ball. We buzz down there and I park the cart approximately 7 inches from his ball. He gets a club and tells me to get the damn cart out of his way, what am I an idiot? What happened next is as clear as if it were yesterday.
I cut the wheel all the way to the left and floored it, making a big circle around to end up behind the old man. Meanwhile he’s taken his club and assumed the position and I pull up behind him. Stomped the brake at which point my greasy old flip flop slides off my foot and I tromp the gas. Ran smack into the Old Man, he never saw it coming. He flew through the windshield doubled over and landed wedged between the front of the seat and the dashboard with his legs and head sticking out the front of the cart. I’m jerking the wheel like a madman in a total panic all the while standing on the gas going as fast as the cart will take us down the fairway while Pop cusses a blue streak telling me to “Stop this Fuchking thing!”
His buddy and his kid were laughing their asses off. Sprained the schit out of Dad’s wrist, spilled his beer all over my lap. He was one mad Mofo. Then since his wrist was fugged and he’d paid for 18 he made me play the rest of the course. I think having to play and be serious was the worst punishment I could have got, I just knew that he was going to whip my ass if I fugged up.
Looking back 20 years later I can still picture the whole thing and I laugh my ass off every time I think about it. The Old Man still doesn’t think it was funny 😄
jim thats what i thought but its actually pretty fun. hell think i'll call Nat and go sunday, was going to shark fish down the island, but they're calling for tides up to the dunes tomorrow afternoon.
I bet you won’t wear cut off denim shorts and cowboy boots
cut off overalls with my PF flyers will take pics.

I enjoy a bit of golf. I’m not much on keeping score and play for the occasional great shot. If I do keep score, a good round I’ll break 100. Would average maybe high 90’s -105. My putting is suspect at best. Lol.
Got to go to the US Open when it was out here a few years back. Pretty cool experience.
Lessons wouldn't hurt but I just watched The Legend of Bagger Vance a couple of times and called it good.
Tin Cup has some pointers as well.
I highly suggest a 30 minute three-session lesson with the PGA/USGA teaching pro of your choice. It is very important to establish a correct swing early in your game development. It is worth every penny to get the tips for correct set up and swing plane. Putting alignment and short game footwork/swing can be one of the lessons.
Course management will come with time and you learning your abilities.
I made the mistake of taking my wife golfing one time. Short hole course in Brainerd, Mn. Her best shot, was when she teed off with her putter. I tried to stop it, but she was all ready into her swing. She hit the ball squarely, and it rose about 6 feet off the ground headed towards the green some 95 yards distant. Unfortunately it carried the green and whacked off the side of a golf cart on the back side of the green, before I could even yell 'FORE!" All I remember is seeing this plaid polyester ass diving over the side of the cart. Needless to say the polyester plaid pant's occupant wasn't real thrilled with the artillery like shot bouncing off the side of hiis E Z Go. It was quite the experience.
played 18 holes this morning but gave up after 9, the 22yr old i stayed up with last night wore my ass out. still had fun, f-cking tired after only a couple hrs sleep.

The few that make serious money betting sports don't talk much about their methodology. The duck of dearth has that sports stuff wired and also knows how to time the stock market.

The game is absolutely addicting because of the mental and physical jubilation from drilling a golf ball on the sweet spot. It’s not so much the 18 holes and score, although important, but rather a shot too shot thing. Another aspect that drives you is the mental downfall of hitting the ball pure one day and the next being lost at sea (i.e. Jordan Spieth). It happens to the best. In the end you’re only one shot away from redemption, which keeps you coming back.

Well put. Like in archery watching that arrow go exactly where you are aiming. Great feeling hitting and watching a long straight drive or a perfect, put or chip shot.
Played 60+ rounds this year, all walking. I shot my age in back-to-back rounds, then lost "it" and struggled thereafter. Hoping I'll remember the better swing when the season resumes in Spring.

Good stuff, Rock.
Lots of rain here lately but I got three rounds in this week. Was going to golf 36 today but too much rain.
I play one or two rounds a year when I go visit Pops down in Komifornia. I used to play weekly until I moved to Ak. Never considered myself very good, but did Ace a short par 4 one time.
Fun game, I just have too many other expensive hobbies these days.
I recently have taken up the game myself, I sold a number of my guns to buy decent clubs and a membership. Guess I am getting tired of hunting and shooting.

I could still whip your ass on the course with my one arm that still works and a twice broken back.
You'd have to be a low class POS to bet against a one armed man.
$100 a hole.
Putting contest only. That hedges any bet with an amateur.
Are you saying that you're a pro?
When in my early 20s I taught tennis. In my late 20s and 30s I was a scratch golfer and gave lessons at our county course. Twenty years ago I was still a 7 handicap. I wasn't always in my 70s, 40 pounds overweight, and twice broken.
These "golden years" are a fraud. They're brass and tarnished.
I'm playing the best golf of my life at age 73, soon to be 74. Because I've finally stopped trying to kill the ball and started making better contact (when my sometimes spastic swing allows!) When I swing smoothly I can shape a shot, the ball actually goes farther, and none of me hurts after a full walking round.
The pros might do better getting buff and swinging for the fences every time, but they're in their 20s - and have more talent than I do. For me, it is FAR better to let the club do the work.
Rog, I hope those were decent balls and not some "prior swimmers" or mostly Top Flight cheapies. Current Titleists, Taylormades, and Callaways are going for over $4 a ball, older ones and lesser brands about half that.

Depends on if they do it right. It’s only overrated if you don’t like ten or twenty extra yards with your drives.
If you are average ability, height and swing speed then it's likely no benefit. If you're tall, short, weak or athletic then get fitted. It's fairly easy and you can do it yourself with a little training and a few simple tools.

i've played what used to be a municipal course in Anchorage. Don't know if it is still a municipal course, still open, or whether you get relief from moose tracks on the green.

Fitting ain’t about getting clubs of the right length and lie, it’s about getting on a launch monitor and getting optimum spin rate and launch angle. It’s magic when you get it right. An extra ten yards doing nothing different.
Extra yardage is simply that. Extra yardage. The key factor to consider is obtaining tighter shot dispersion. A fitting from a professional fitter is well worth it. Scores will improve. Shaft specifics need to be matched to your swing analysis.
I use to fish balls out of the water traps wash them and sell them to the golfers when i was a teen one pond was about 13 ft deep, i'd take a raft paddle out with my buddy use a piece of water hose for a snorkle and a weight to keep me down and go along the bottom picking them up.
I’d disagree with this. As has been mentioned, going to a quality fitter will change the game. They’ll match a set of clubs to whatever excuse for a swing you bring them. Proper shaft flex, kick point, weight, and length; proper loft/lie on your heads, proper grip size, etc. If they’re worth their salt, they’ll have you on a launch monitor for all of this and incorporate a ball into the mix to make sure you’re using a ball fits the swing and club setup they’ve figured out for you.
Did one with PXG about a year ago and it was amazing. Tried probably 200 different configurations that day and by the end, the guy was like, “Swing this and play a draw and watch it go straight. Now play a fade and watch it stay low” kinda schit. They’ll also put checkshots in there to make sure their numbers are right, so he’d be like, “This is probably gonna feel like schit, but go ahead and swing it anyways just so we can make sure we’re on the right track.” Sure as [bleep], it felt like hitting one chunky out of a gravel driveway.
If you think you’ll get serious about playing more often and trying to get better, I think a quality fitting session and subsequent custom club purchase is one of the largest ROI’s you’ll find in the process.

I've been told that's largely overrated.

Grossly overstated and inaccurate. Well, maybe not. If by a few simple tools you mean a several thousand dollar launch monitor and a couple hundred shafts, complete with QD fittings into each of the several dozen heads you’d need, as well as various grips for each shaft offering, then I suppose you’re right. Gone are the days of a little face tape, heel tape, and an impact board.
I get what you’re saying - most off the shelf clubs are designed for average height, swing speed, ability, etc. But for Christ’s sake, pick a course and go sit at the tee of number one for an hour and tell me if you think all the swings you witness are similar enough to be playing out of the same bag.
There’s a reason launch monitors are so pervasive these days. Using them to fit clubs to your style is absolutely valuable and should be done by anyone who wants to get better at the game.
I don't doubt anything you're saying. I just feel like I should get as good as I can with what I got before getting fitted.
I still don't know schit about golf but the guys I know that are good have said that it's a bad idea for a beginning golfer because your swing will evolve and change over the course of your first six months to a year of playing.
There's a PGA Superstore and a Golf Galaxy real close to the house.

Yes and no. Most fittings are free. Get fitted and don’t dump a ton into high quality bats. It’ll improve your game immediately and give you a little more confidence/enjoyment when you’re out there.
I think what they’re getting at is to not get fitted early in the process and use that data as the gospel for the rest of your playing days. I like the handicap approach - get fitted every time you drop your handicap by ten shots. During that span, your swing and game will have likely changed enough to warrant another fitting and different sticks.
Two sides to that argument, too. If you get as good as you can with what you’re currently using, the learning curve when you get fitted clubs may be a little steeper. Rather, learning on some clubs that are already to your specs will allow your “as good as you can” to be a little better, with a much smaller learning curve associated with the transition.
Any clue how many rounds you have under your belt? Average score?
As long as you aren’t playing with some Happy Gilmore schit, you’re probably fine. Most of the newer stuff available now is good enough to get going on, I just wanted to point out that it’s most definitely worth it, regardless of when it’s done.
I have a buddy that got fitted when he was like 20. Back then, he probably weighed 170lbs and was in great shape. Now he’s probably 275 and hasn’t passed up a drive thru in years. He still uses the same numbers he got back then and his game has gone to hell.
That’s all I’m saying - likely the same concept. Also, the more you play, you’ll know when you need new clubs.

used to do that, also, but at a local club, around midnight, went into the pond, kept the balls for my own use, the members had the number of the head greenskeeper, who lived nearby, so we knew we had to get in and out. The water wasn't too deep, but the muck was.

I would say between 50-60 rounds total.
Initially I would be 30 over or worse and now I can "bogey golf" pretty consistently. Meaning 18-20 over on 18 holes. I think my best score to date is +13.
I bought a used set of Pings for my irons. Driver is a Taylor Made. Gap wedges are Clevelands.
As long as you’re keeping an honest score, you’re already in the zone for getting fitted. Lots of guys bust their asses to get to bogey golf. If you’re already there, you’d benefit. Regardless, it isn’t like the world ends tomorrow if you don’t get fitted. Have fun with it. Keep an honest score, play by the rules, and tip the drink girls.
I’m jealous. I grew up playing all the time. Got down to a single digit handicap, enjoyed the hell out of it. I hardly play anymore. Kinda tough when the courses are only open for 4-5 months a year. Did the PXG fitting a year ago and recommitted to practicing because the old man drew tee times on The Old Course at St. Andrews. That trip got COVIDed, so we’re supposed to go in June of 2021, now. Definitely looking forward to that.
It’s a good way to waste time and get outside. You’ll eventually find yourself practicing swings getting dressed, and schit. Next thing you know, you’re watching golf tournaments on tv. Ph uck you could get Clydesdale to be your caddy.
Manage expectations. Burnout is painful. Been a golfer for 30+ years. Finally bought a house on a course six years ago and started playing daily rounds, in leagues and practiced every day. Burnout is real. Keep it in perspective. Let it be fun.

I do all that already.
No Clydesdale though. Hard to swing with somebody trying to suck my dick for 18 holes.
I played 60 rounds this year. Played my first round in 1969 and got my first lesson and set of clubs from Bob Goalby (the '68 Masters champ) in his basement.
Had a horrible slice - as do many or most amateurs - most of those years. Now have a harder time fading one than drawing.

Yeah I went hog wild one long weekend. I think I played 18 on Friday, 18 on Saturday, 36 on Sunday and 18 on Monday. With some Top Golf and range sessions thrown in there as well.
When I woke up Tuesday I was fugking exhausted. Like it all caught up to me at the end or something.
Now I've determined three rounds a week and a couple buckets is about perfect.
I played no more than ten or twelve rounds this year. I birdied the first hole of the year and the last.
My buddy tells this great story about entering a tournament and his score went something like par, birdie, birdie, par, and then an 11 on a par three. LOL

If you are not hitting the ball consistently on the sweet spot then there is no amount of technology that will help. Getting the basic club length and shaft flex correct is a proper first step. Leave the gizmos for the suckers who are willing to get fleeced for $1,000 every year or two.
True. But when you do hit it on the sweet spot, wouldn’t you want everything else lined up, as well? Like I said, most fittings are free, so there’s no harm. Might find out you need standard loft/standard lie, anyways. Might just take your numbers to a shop and have the clubs cut/bent. Doesn’t mean you need to buy a new set, just gives you some more information. What you do with the information is up to you.
A sweet spot strike can result in a snap hook, a balloon or a push. Shaft specs dictate it. And it can be dang difficult for the golfer to analyze the results without assistance. All the more reason to get fit early on. And get with a Pro.
Get on a damned launch monitor. There are hundreds of different options for driver shafts and small changes can make a huge difference. I don’t really believe Deflave is already playing bogey golf...it’s not that he is lying, he is just have that new golfer myopia... but if he is, he is good enough to gain from a launch monitor. You can’t play bogey golf without a consistent swing.

I don’t really believe Deflave is already playing bogey golf...it’s not that he is lying, he is just have that new golfer myopia... but if he is, he is good enough to gain from a launch monitor. You can’t play bogey golf without a consistent swing.

Oh brother.
It’s true. Everyone who has played for awhile knows it. But it’s okay.
Or the face angle. Steel shafted irons aren't going to cause hooks or slices. It's the face angle at impact.
That's it. No rocket science.
Just how do you think the face angle is consistently controlled with irons and iron shafts? Mix that bag up with various flexes which do not fit a player's swing and watch the results.

I hope you enjoyed your 10 rounds for the year.
Not too much this year, that’s why I didn’t play more. 79 was my best round this year.

Why would you mix up the shafts in a set of irons?
I played 60 rounds this year. Played my first round in 1969 and got my first lesson and set of clubs from Bob Goalby (the '68 Masters champ) in his basement.
Had a horrible slice - as do many or most amateurs - most of those years. Now have a harder time fading one than drawing.

False argument.
Real argument. I see it every day in player's bags. Unmatched iron sets, wrong driver and fairway strengths/flexes to match and wedges that are much stiffer than the irons. Most of these golfers don't even know how they differ.
A fitting session with a pro can help straighten out a lot of sins.
I watched and interview with Michael Jordan and he said he plays 36 holes of golf every day And his handicap is a four.
LOL
It’s just like any other sport. You can play basketball 24 hours a day for a hundred years and you won’t be Michael Jordan. Make no mistake, the best golfers have a talent for it over and above mere hard work.
Yep. Just like some can throw darts or shoot pool. But there is a peak of performance, and it never stays at peak forever. If health holds out, golf can be a lifetime of enjoyment.
I've golfed twice. Once I was sober and once I was.........not.
I wasn't a fan, though I can see the strategy having similarities to shooting, for sure. I am also way more of a hunter than a shooter, so there's that.
No doubt they’re heavily marketed, but there is a point in your game where they become beneficial.
Hence the second part of my comment. A pro doesn’t need a launch monitor to figure out where the problem is in a 15 hcp swing.
Agreed.
But the 15 handicapper might be in a position to benefit the most from a club fitting involving a launch monitor.
At the end of the day, if you’re playing for fun, who cares? Will it be beneficial? Yep. Will you have more fun? Maybe. Can you get better and have fun without it? Yep.
uh huh...used to be a golf nut, learned early on that low handicap golfers are notorious gamblers, it's what they do. That's why the Michael Jordan stories about gambling on the golf course were no surprise. Some pros are like that, Michelson being one, whose stories from college centered around arranging card games, but i'm sure he never gambled on golf LOL

Shaft specifics need to be matched to your swing analysis.
This is actually the most important part of a fitting. Off the shelf clubs are generally uniflex - one size fits all from a flex perspective.
Swing analysis and proper shaft flex makes a big difference.
No, they’re usually regular, stiff, ladies. Some stores will carry X flex options and some of the higher end stores will carry homemade shaft flex options, usually derived from thousands of years of Native American technology.

I am talking about pre-packaged, off the shelf *men's* sets, lower end clubs - the type beginners buy. They are almost exclusively uniflex.

You have good clubs, the lie angle and shafts would be the next question. Just because they are good clubs doesn't mean they are the best for you, but probably not holding you back much at bogey golf.
If you play 3-4 times per week; hit, chip, and putt on the off days; take a lesson every 2-3 weeks; and get the right set of clubs... in 1.5 - 2 years you will be as good as you are going to get. You will win tons of money while the handicap is dropping. After that you, as noted by Uncle Alps, most look for ways to keep it a little higher. Athleticism is one factor, hand eye (not the same) is another, so is mental compatibility with the game. Just about everyone can get to 10-15 without much problem, once one gets to 0-5 or lower...it is all about what you were born with and how much effort you put in.

Around here, big old grassy places get cut and baled, and in the spring folks get to shoot Belding's ground squirrels. Be a damn shame if a person wanted to play golf on them.
Farmer might figure out he could charge chumps to run around on his field and try to get the ball into the gopher hole. Which is likely how the silly game was started by some drunken Scots with bent handle walking sticks and a sheep turd or somesuch
Geno, It would be much more appropriate to hunt the beldings from the golf cart with a large Yeti full of beer in your locale
When I'm done reading it, I'm going to send you a pretty funny little book written by a local about the "gopher wars" over in the Surprise Valley! It's a hoot.

Golf is hard. You’ll never be good. Yet, you’ll never remember the bad shots, only the good shots, right up until you pay your $50 to $100 for your round...and promptly top your tee shot into the water or three putt your third hole of the day.

Yep, we don't want any vultures dying.
Oh, how you doing with that golf "etiquette" stuff. Shouldn't be too hard after living on the Hi Line for a few years.
I hate to ask a rookie question, but do you scratch or low handicap golfers have a ball preference?
I hear people go on and on about this and I always laugh because it seems so silly unless you're a true baller.
But maybe it's a thing.
It’s a thing.
Think about it like bullet choices through different barrels with different powders.
That’s why I dropped that “ball fitting” comment into the club fitting conversation. It’s easily accomplished with a launch monitor, although one definitely isn’t required.
I played a ProV1x forever. Recently switched to a TP5x. Jury’s still out. My honest opinion is that they perform so similarly, why change? I’ve spent 25 years looking at “Titleist” at address, why change that up for a yard, or two.
If you’re going to be playing this much over the next few weeks/months, grab a few different sleeves and play a sleeve until it runs out and then try whatever sleeve you pull out next.
If you don’t mind spending a little money, I’d start with ProV1/ProV1x, AVX, TP5/TP5x, Bridgestone Tour B (match one to your swing speed or pick a few different versions), and I’ve played and liked Srixon’s Z-Star XV. A lot of folks really like Callaway’s Chrome Soft/Soft X, but I’ve never been a fan of their golf balls.

Honestly the ProV1x, although they’ve now changed the x vs. no x naming a bit in the last few years, gave me the mix of attributes I wanted in a ball. Not on paper, on the course.
It’s long, it’s soft, and you can spin the hell out of it. There was a time where the cover was so soft on them I could scuff one up pretty good with a wedge. That wasn’t ideal, but it was fixed pretty quickly.
Over time, it became more of a confidence thing. They became old reliable. For me, they just feel right at impact, you can move them if you want to, lean into one and get a little more out of it, and can get them to hold greens in spite of conditions.
I still have 4 dozen TP5x’s to go through, though. They may grow on me, but if they don’t, it’ll be back to ProV1’s. And this isn’t to say that they’re any better/worse than the ProV1, it’s just a confidence thing. They’re similarly priced and if they don’t provide a clear advantage to my game, I would rather look down and see Titleist.

Golf is hard. You’ll never be good. Yet, you’ll never remember the bad shots, only the good shots...
Oh, I don't know about that. I can recall several spectacularly chitty shots from 20 plus years ago. Like the time at a big tournament when I skulled a screaming worm-burner tee shot that hit the ladies tee marker dead nuts and the ball sailed 60 yard behind me into the crowd.
Buy a ball based on what you want it to do around the greens. Then play only that ball. Consistency will be found in driving, long game, short game and putting.

Balls only matter, after you have a consistent, repeatable swing & are making almost perfect to perfect contact.
Yep. Because, until that point, you won't hit any good shots that would benefit from the proper ball and none of your bad shots would be less bad by using the proper ball. GTFOH.
Most balls today are pretty good and I don’t think it makes much difference...except around the greens and there you can really tell the difference in some balls. Stay away from the cheapest balls...though some of them aren’t bad...and you’ll be alright.
But gone are the days when there are just bad balls like the MacGregor Tour that Nicklaus played a lot of his career with. Those balls were so bad that a lot of pros, like Hogan flat refused to play them. They would take MacGregor’s money and swap it out for something else after the first hole.
ProV’s vs TP5 vs Tour B’s not as much. Those against any of the $12-30 balls, light years difference.
If you’re poor, look at Snell and Vice balls. Pretty damn similar to the elite balls for quite a bit cheaper. I’ll poor shame you for it relentlessly though.

when i was a kid we'd take a titleist and give it to the dog to chew off the balata cover (which he was more than happy to do), then take it away from him (which he was not thrilled about), unwind all the rubber wrapping, then cut open the rubber ball in the center which was filled with fluid...one h_ll of a good time

Sounds about as much fun playing with a Rubik’s Cube while taking a dump.
I think I'd love it too much, I just cant handle another hobby right now. I love watching it on tv though. Heck, we've enherited a nice synthetic putting green in the back yard. The kids love it.
P.S.: I seriously fingered one of the Watley sisters on the 18th green at Maplewood golf course (Renton, Washington) late one Saturday night, when I was in high school - does that count for anything?
VG,
I'd say that makes you the greatest golfer of all time.
why is it that we never see any homeless camps on them things. A tree filled rough would seem like a good place to camp to me. Maybe pick up a buck or two a day carrying some lazy dude's bag, or at least a 12 pack to bring back to the hooch.
Poor tiger . . . He really should put that CD out - "My Favorite 18 Holes" (not golf related, of course). He's not that good at golf anymore - he tied for 38th place. +7 on one hole (his worst ever) willl do that too you , , , ,
he's hitting like me. probably been drinking beer since 3 in the morning.
I should have tried golf when I was a drinking man then. It might have had some upside. A few of them things that grow on cowpies might have helped too.
I thought he played one HELL of a game these last 4 days. (I had a Smith top 10 bet that I wished was a top 5 bet, but still made $250) He over achieved!
That kid is going to be around for a while. And, Im was incredibly rock solid as well. His driving accuracy in the back 9 was something....

Uhhhh, he has five green jackets. One of which he won last year. And he still finished -1.
Despite what [bleep] may think, I hereby declare myself a bogey golfer. There were torrential rains here and I was unable to golf for about 10 days. But in the past four days I have made up for it. On four consecutive days I played two different courses and was 17-20 over for 18 holes.
I haven't played since the end of September. Could have played in October a few times, but felt kind of burned out on golf this summer after 60+ rounds, all walked. I buy an annual pass card good for unlimited golf, and break even at 50 rounds. I will again this year, even though with a brand new boat I'll be fishing a lot, too.
I'm no longer happy with being a bogey golfer, as I keep improving the more I play. I'm about a +10 player now, and occasionally get as low as +2 for a round.
With all the silly Covid rules now, I have adopted a "one hole offset" scoring method. I roll the ball one hole width either side of the actual hole and call it good. As long as I pick the side first and the ball doesn't go too far beyond, it isn't cheating much because I did putt to the spot I aimed at. I just scoop the ball up and go to the next tee.

How long does it take you to walk 18? The times I have walked 9 holes it didn't seem to take much longer than using a cart.
I don't know what you mean about the COVID rules. They don't let you use the hole or what?
I generally complete a round in 2:45 or so and I almost always play alone. If I'm saddled with playing partners it takes longer, of course. I use a push cart, but I can see that in the not too distant future, I'll be forced to start carting.
Due to Covid, we are not allowed to touch a flagstick, and they have the bottom of it wrapped in a foam collar that prevents the ball from falling in below ground level - supposedly to prevent it jamming up down next to the bottom of the stick. It's absolutely silly.
So I just putt to the high side of the hole, and if it rolls past within a hole width, I call it holed.

Gotcha.
I have seen those on practice greens but not on an actual course. I think some clubs are more paranoid than others.
I played on a buddy's private course last week and the guys at the clubhouse were all masked up and wiping schit down. LOL
It drives me stark raving nuts to play in a foursome. Especially with those guys who have to laser every single shot, take nine practice swings, and then act like DJ on the greens for every single one of their three or four putts.
I never check a yardage until I'm inside 150 yards of the hole, I pull a club while I walk up to the ball, and I don't take practice swings. One look from behind for a target, then stance and swing. 20 seconds max from arrival to walking again.

I could not agree more.
After I played 18 yesterday my wife met me for lunch at the clubhouse. First tee box I watched a guy take NINE practice swings with his driver.
I play fast as well. No practice swings. No wasted time. I will never play league golf again because of the jackwagons who think the longer they take to play 9 the longer they are unsupervised by their wives.

We played a course that had a really neat device on each hole. There was a false bottom in the cup that would slide up the stick, there was a thin rod that ran from the false bottom up the flagstick about 18". At the top it had a loop with a flange that stuck out a couple of inches. You hooked the flange with your putter, lifted it sharply, the false bottom rose up and flipped your ball out.

In high school 2 of us would play 9 holes in less than an hour from the blues. After playing golf for over 50 years I still take one half azz practice swing while I envision the shot I'd like to play.

Let us not forget the game faces, the psych jobs, the increase in beer consumption as the round goes on - complete with more time looking for lost balls, increased arguments, and time spent pulling carts out of creeks and sand traps.

There was a false bottom in the cup that would slide up the stick, there was a thin rod that ran from the false bottom up the flagstick about 18". At the top it had a loop with a flange that stuck out a couple of inches. You hooked the flange with your putter, lifted it sharply, the false bottom rose up and flipped your ball out.
In high school 2 of us would play 9 holes in less than an hour from the blues. After playing golf for over 50 years I still take one half azz practice swing while I envision the shot I'd like to play.
How fast I can play is largely dictated by the amount of people on the course.
I started on the back nine early yesterday and had nine holes in under an hour.
True. I absolutely never play on a Tuesday here because that's Ladies Association day, and they are maddeningly slow. I call them the Yak Herd, because they move like a herd of grazing animals and all they do is yak yak yak.

As opposed to picking up the ball?
Didn't have to contact the flagstick - either lifting it or bumping it with your hand like everyone else. Also, old farts with lack of flexibility didn't have to try not to fall onto their heads when reaching down into the hole.

Guy comes back from the restroom in a restaurant, claims that he saw a black man with a white dick at the next stall. Buddy doesn't believe him. Bets are made. Given the amount of money on the line, a third party is coerced into bravely going over to the table where the man is now sitting and ask. Investigator comes back and explains that the guy is just a coal miner on his honeymoon.

I didn't play golf till I was in my early 40s. Got immediately hooked on it. Played three or four times a week and managed to get to a 15 handicap on a decent public course in less than a year, Joined a country club with a tougher course, handicap went up to an 18. Took a few lessons, never got any better and usually couldn't play to the 18 off my home course. After 15/16 years of this I decided it didn't make much sense to stay with something that I liked but couldn't improve at, pissed me off too often and cost that much money. Gave my clubs away and haven't played since. I won't lie, as much as I love to fish and bird hunt if I had ever got to where I could play half decent I'd still be playing golf and fishing less.
Parking lot job: When I first started playing, a guy I played with sometimes, was a card carrying 10 handicap but was considerably better. He was a well off retired CPA in his early 50s and played about every day for money. On our home course with us he'd play to a considerably lower number. Our bets weren't that big without automatic presses. When I asked him why he kept his handicap at 10 he said it was for money games at other courses or tournaments when he didn't always know the other players. He said you'd play partners sometimes at considerably higher stakes and when you left the course you might see your partner that hadn't played too well with the two guys who had beat you splitting up your money in the parking lot.
I played at a club as a guest of an Armenian guy I used to hunt with. This club had a whole lot of Armenian members. We were waiting in the bar for his brother when we noticed a black guy getting ready to tee off. About that time his brother walked in looked out the window and said who's that. The bartender said I don't know, he's a new member. Another guy sitting at the bar said that's ......, used to be a wide receiver for the Chargers, he just joined the club. The brother of the Armenian guy who invited me said "damn I thought we'd finally got a pure bred."

What kind of balls and clubs does your BIL prefer?
If he's waiting in line to get a tee time he's a broke dick loser.
That describes all golfers I believe.
I have no interest in golf and haven't a clue what he uses. He did work for Callahan a long time ago though, research and development stuff. Before that he was in the aerospace industry and has five patents on his name for new polymers................so not really a loser.

I don't care if he invented aluminum foil.

Played 36 total, yesterday and today at the NCAA Division-I course at the Air Force Academy with my BIL (Ret. Colonel) Course was closed. No crowds.
You?
I'm sure he appreciated all unsolicited hand jobs.
LOL
"LOL" is now trademarked by me.
It was fun to watch everyone snap to attention and salute him (including the Course Attendant who came too check on us). He is a 2x Ace and a few AF folks might kinda know about him.
Fun fact: We had the course to ourselves, and we had to pull the flag stick and lay it on the ground after every hole. The AF Acadamy is RICH with elk and they see the flags and will trample the greens to get after the flags if not pulled.

You are so gd full of chit.. So a NAF (Non appropriated Funds) worker at the golf course is saluting a retired COL..

Have you ever been on the AF Academy? If so, in what capacity?
I have been there, many, many times. My BIL and SIL volunteer at the AF chapel. They house young cadets in their spare rooms for the holidays. BIL mentors a dozen or more young cadets each year. Takes them into his home. I am friends many of their mothers and fathers. I duck hunt with a few of the die hard hunters.
For those who have no idea, the Colorado Spring AF community is REALLY tight. Those of you in the area, know what I am talking about.
Hint: The US Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs entrance is met with MP's, and guns (shock and surprise - standard on any given day)
But vehicle searches, temperature checks due to COVID are in place right now.
Just so we could go whack some golf balls.
Might seem foreign to a dipchit like you, but anyone here with access to the Academy (with the current COVID deal) knows you are a laughing stock.
I could drive onto the chairforce academy, go to said golf course and play a round of golf.. I could take Deflave with me if chose too.. It’s not that hard.. I also guarantee you I won’t be saluting anyone.

Oh I been there a time or two. Chunk of Italian marble from the Air Force academy.
You disrespect it by calling it the "chairforce" and post a 3rd place chunk of chit.
Congrats??
Ah poor baby you mad cause you been caught in a line of bullchit.. that chunk “chit” is Italian marble from the academy all you have is bunch of bullchit stories, you make up as you go.. I’m a winner you are a loser.. lol
It’s safe to say ol duck is so full of chit he can’t even keep up with his bul chit stories.. For the next act duck911 was a fighter pilot and shot down 20 mig 21 over Libya..

You won’t catch anyone who is a civilian saluting a retired, civilian clothes wearing colonel, even if it’s colonel ph ucking Sanders. I can’t say I wouldn’t salute anyone. I’d be the first one in line to salute the drink chick with my left hand.
I can’t even count how many chairforce courses I’ve played, some with officers, some with cadets (yes, at that course), and have never seen any NAF employee with enough common sense to know what the GD weather forecast is, let alone know schitt about who is about to tee off.
Ph ucking civilians saluting retired plain clothes colonels! And then knowing so much about the military he jumps on someone for calling it the chairforce! Jesus Christ. It is the chairforce. Ph uck even the chairmen call it the chairforce! I’m surprised you didn’t run into a gang of chairmen out there doing their one PT session for the week (putt putt).
I was on the fence about you after the stupid ph ucking EMT + secret Indian blood clot powder story, but now I’m 100% sure you’re just full of schitt. Not the fun kind of full of schitt where you embellish stories to the point of comedic value, that pathetic kind where you hate yourself a little bit and add a few superlatives to try and impress the people around you just a little bit so you can escape one more day of dodging suicide. Take your earnings and buy a how-to book. How-to not be awkward, bud.

Ok Cucky, now how about you post an accomplishment of your own there front liner?
He is so full chit ... I’m for good bull chit story.. but ph uck talking like he is some privileged ph uck playing golf at the Air Force academy give me a break.. He would impressed me more if he said he played a round of golf over on Peterson AFB..
Sitting here wondering how the good colonel managed to get a round in what with all the non-stop phone calls he must have been getting as the acting legitimacy consultant for Top Gun 3...
Just kidding. Even Navy dudes wouldn’t consult the chair force...

What dont you get????
The chair force pun. Or the civilians dont salute military. Even if said civilian is retired military. Their is one civilian who returns salutes to miltary though.
And salutes from " civilians" at times are a tradition and appropriate given certain ocassions.
I think the golf course is most def not one of them.
I have given 2 salutes as a " civilian" One in 2014 the other in 2015. 2 newly commissioned 2Lt,s My oldest daughters. They even gave me a silver dollar for it. 1st time ( and last) they ever gave dad money!!!
Far as golf goes. Played minature golf as a kid once or twice. And their is a indoor glow golf place here in town. That intrigues me kinda.... Kinda......
79S take it easy on Duck911. Dont hammer him too hard.... LOL!!!!
No. I did get destroyed in epic fashion doing Red Bull Crashed Ice's goalie race though.
Nothing like having your 30mph crash on a jumbotron in front of 100,000 people.....
But, seriously, this place wouldn't work on my old phone so I quit coming due to ads etc. I just got a new one, and, with as blocker, it seems to work.

We all embellish stories a little bit. But not duckodynamite, instead of saying my BIL ran into a former cadet now 1LT he saluted my BIL. My BIL told them to knock it off and call him Bob. Nope not duck he takes it over the top, the whole golf course staff was saluting him hell the golf cart mechanic even saluted him.

What you did for your daughters happens a lot, my wife cousin husband CSM (ret) did that for his daughter I think he was on terminal leave. But he wanted her first salute coming from her dad. If my kid went that route I do the same as you. The chairforce thing inter- service rivalry but duckodynamite don’t get that..
Too cold to golf up here today, so we shot some golf balls out of the F5 can launcher instead.
The golf ball adapter for that thing is awesome.
I do drive my buddies nuts at golf league in the summer though looking for crappy lost balls to shoot. They know I'm only playing Q-star Tour balls on the course, so they think scrounging for balls is a waste of my time.

Ducky It’s called trash talk between branches. 79s is allowed that. (hint)
Check with the colonel if civilians salute officers.
Duck’s walkin through the pro-shop, arm around the colonel, he’s like call me Goose, he’s Maverick. He winks at everyone and does the little finger gun.
The colonel just texted his accountant a picture of the receipt so he makes sure this quarterly charitable “take the tard to the golf course” is written off.
In the corner Jim is nudging Bill like hey man, look, that must be the idiot son in law the colonel kept telling us about. Oh yeah, I meant to tell you, I saw the sign in sheet, turns out “the colonel” is a retired E-5. Yeah, but E-5 is a colonel in the chair force...
Then they all die laughing because their too dumb to realize they’re all in the chair force.
I ride most of the time. Depends on the day/weather. On some of those really nice evenings if I tee off a few hours before dark I’ll walk just because hardly anyone is at the course.
I like the pace of play if I ride, though, and I don’t usually need to worry about folks hitting into me.
Non-golfers cannot discuss nor question anything related to golf FYI.
I ever tell you the time I golfed with my cousin, he’s a black hawk pilot had 7 confirmed mig 21 kills. He’s kind of well known in the aviation circles. This was down in Ft Huachuca and he was teaching LT’s anyhow it was comical watching illegal aliens who were running across the golf course. They would stop and salute him. Yeah he’s that well known even in Mexico..

Don't you feel embarrassed when you can't break 100 from the tips, and are forced to tee off from the last tee box on every hole, so you can have a chance of shooting under 100?

BEAUTIFUL courses.
Since the last 2x ace flew in the Korean war, whIch ended 67 years ago, your bil would have to be in his late 80s, at least. Kudos to him for still playing 18 holes a day.

Do you feel embarrassed when teams are being picked in a money game, and you are the last player to be selected week after week, because nobody wants you on their team...because you can't putt or drive?

It was fun to watch everyone snap to attention and salute him (including the Course Attendant who came too check on us). He is a 2x Ace and a few AF folks might kinda know about him.
Fun fact: We had the course to ourselves, and we had to pull the flag stick and lay it on the ground after every hole. The AF Acadamy is RICH with elk and they see the flags and will trample the greens to get after the flags if not pulled.
BEAUTIFUL courses.
Since the last 2x ace flew in the Korean war, whIch ended 67 years ago, your bil would have to be in his late 80s, at least. Kudos to him for still playing 18 holes a day.
Unfortunately all the 2x of the Korean war have passed away.. There were no 2x in Vietnam. So apparently he was playing golf with a ghost
Don't you feel embarrassed when you can't break 100 from the tips, and are forced to tee off from the last tee box on every hole, so you can have a chance of shooting under 100?
Neverslayer,
I bet you're every bit as good at pretending to golf, as you are pretending to hunt.
LOL
Do you feel embarrassed when teams are being picked in a money game, and you are the last player to be selected week after week, because nobody wants you on their team...because you can't putt or drive?
That makes you the designated ball washer...
Oh boy mr stock market is on the scene. Let me guess you close out billion dollar deals daily... if I were a millionaire like some of you ph ucks claim their is one known. I sure in the ph uck wouldn’t be on 24 Hourcampfire. Trading insults with you ph ucks..

Haha, your link specifically says to leave flags in the cups.
I'm 99% sure The Duck is a stay-at-home-dad.
And there are no children in the house.
LOL
No way. That nippledick got his internet privileges taken away at the halfway house after they caught him up past curfew last night on his third Zima. They would have let that slide but found out he was on the Internet living out his fantasies again, and they just won’t stand for dishonesty in the program.
Comes back on tomorrow - “Sorry boys, Tyson invited me to the fight last night and I won a couple mil...”

Geno,
I was born and raised on the Sacramento Delta, Pittsburg specifically. She was born in Danville Illinois but moved to Orange County when she was two. We met in college in San Luis Obispo, been thirty five years.
Too much material to work with. And time to kill on the deer stand...
Always liked dual role fighter/ ground attack aircraft. The P- 46.5 "Rhino" was part of the development of the P- 47 "Jug". Lots of pilots( especially Aces) Said things could get pretty heated in the cockpit of these high performance warbirds.
First Sunday we've been able to hunt deer with a rifle in PA in modern days. I hunted this morning with no luck, T time for 1230. It's too nice out not to golf, should be snow towards the end of the week to hunt in.

Sunday hunting in PA?
I'm astonished.
Will wonders never cease?
But, I think I'd be out in the woods instead of on a golf course. Can't bring home dinner unless you're betting and win.
He diversified after the war......card board pizza is recession proof.
Now it makes sense why he would golf with duckodynamite.. both shrewd businessman
Zactly. Red Baron must be who taught Dung911 how to close high end business deals at exclusive steakhouses . The secret is to start drinking dessert coffee while they are still drinking bourbon. But no one here would understand if you were not there .

nothin' wrong with playing with yer balls, as long as they's yer balls and not no one else's.
Now, I might consent to that rather nicely endowed lady golfer from a few pages back playin with my balls, but that's about it. My wife might not go for it though.
Everyone should just play with their own balls, keep things simple.

Fûck’n Flave! Once again he throws up an epic post that turns into the best chum water for attracting both bait and sharks.
Now for the real question that is in line with the original thread topic. Can Flavor play around of golf without looking like a epileptic cat chasing poor shots all over the track?

Flave, You’re a natural. Most people with solid hand/eye coordination and a desire to play, will get a lot better. Short game is where the strokes are saved.
You got your head screwed on right Sam I didn't take you for a golf enthusiast. Poor flave he moved to Fla caught the ghey and took up golf its all he talks about any more. sigh....

After a serious seven years my wife is as such. Classic, focused, dedicated, bitches about the slow old men, enjoys her improvement and enjoys her crowd. Meanwhile I head to the range... I have golfed and it is beyond my learning curve at this point in life. Tough stuff that I thoroughly enjoy watching and catering.

Considering the percentage of golfers that are "scratch" or + handicap, that doesn't say much.

My wife was more than humbled when she golfed The Idaho Club (Nicklaus design) minutes from our place in Idaho. "Naw this one will go in the water at first swing, let's move on"... It was great to see another course that folks that can really golf do.
And I imagine you're one of those soy boys who has to have the latest metal driver (CHEAT STICK), because you just simply aren't man enough to swing a persimmon fast enough to roll it out over 300 off the drive.
How's that 13 degree puzzy driver working out for you, to help you get the ball airborne, so you hopefully get your 225 yard monster drive from the lady's box close enough for an approach in reg?

I conquered the putter...
After you easily stuffed a 9 degree driver up your ass...Conquering your putter was no big deal.
Now get back in your room until I tell you to come out.

Yep, 9 degrees will get you 300-300+, if you're man enough to control it off the tee....
Had a friend with a 8 degree Taylor Made. I could spank it pretty good with that metal wood, but metal just doesn't feel right, after watching the greats use wood for so many years.
Golf is supposed to be about tradition and class......something you don't have.....

Hey, boomer, ain't nobody playing anything but metal woods since Christ was a corporal.
And I've got $1000 that says you can't drive 300 yards on a flat hole, no wind, until you get in the cart with your boyfriend.
I have won the long drive prize in tournaments, more than once,...with a persimmon....
Snap a pic of that trophy and post it here.
[bleep] the trophy. He does it, flat hole, minimal wind, let's say three balls to make it reasonable. One over 300 in the fairway =$1000.
0 out of the three go 300 in the fairway, I'm $1000 richer.
Literally any long drive champ jumps on that bet like a fat kid on the last Twinkie on earth.
Edit: we are talking actual distance, as in a laser rangefinder shot back from the ball to someone standing on the tee box.
goalie,
first, it is good to have another HOCKEY fan back on the 'fire. Thank goodness for new phones, eh?
Second................I think with this guy you'll have to have Rick hold the money, seems I recall some arrangement for a $40K bet or such. Maybe a measly grand isn't deserving of that treatment.

Technically, I'm on a tablet. But the lack of pop ups is glorious.
As for the bet, flights are cheap, I figured a grand makes it worth my while to go watch yet another "long drive winner" not hit further than 250.......
You got the slayer boxed in. Ill bet he cant break an honest 200 on the first ball and keep it on the fairway with his magical wood driver

He can use whatever driver (legal) he wants. I play in league with a few long hitters. They're all 25-35, fit, and fixn to have back problems. None average 300+ in the fairway, but, to be fair, they didn't win contests like Elky either......

Consistant 300 aint easy. Kind of gay to throw that number around
I don't care what your attempt is to box me in. If you think I'd meetup with anyone here, after having the groupie sicko cyber stalkers here raising hell with me, then you're nuts.
The internet is not my life, like it is for quite a few here, who have to have an "image".

I got "called" for what....
I made one simple comment that I've won the long drive contest in tournaments I've played in, and you Karen's came out of the woodwork....demanding proof.....just like a bunch of grade school kids.
Nobody is going to meetup with a stranger from the internet, when the stranger is hassling them on the internet, and for you to "demand" the meetup happen to prove something based on those facts shows how immature you are, with your "exit right BS".....laughable......
Elk you got called. Pony up or quietly exit stage right.
I'm right here.
Just watching this stupid thread from the sidelines.
Played 9 holes at the little pitch-n-putt executive course a mile from the house. Shot a 34. Dropped one in from the bunker with the 60d LW to save par - it was a helluva shot. 2 putted from 5 feet away the next hole. FUGG!

Drive for show, and putt for dough. It's nice when you can accomplish both in a game.
Honest 200.....ROFLMAO.
Ill go in a thousand too you cant break 300. Book it

if anyone could write fiction it would the mighty Texas elkslayer. bet you've never even seen an elk. And in the zoo or on the pages of field and stream doesn't count.
how about about video proof of your 300 yard drive and your straight hetero lifestyle lmao
Elk you got called. Pony up or quietly exit stage right.
Apparently summoned his muscle Elkslayer to deal with Deflave..
LMAO.

No just a coincidence, duckodynamite airforce academy story blows up in his face.. then you magically appear out of nowhere to go battle with Deflave..

So, you are taking your 200 yard bet off the table, while you try to act like a badazz now with your new 300 yard bet.? azz can't cash your check?
Hey, boomer, ain't nobody playing anything but metal woods since Christ was a corporal.
And I've got $1000 that says you can't drive 300 yards on a flat hole, no wind, until you get in the cart with your boyfriend.
I have won the long drive prize in tournaments, more than once,...with a persimmon....
Snap a pic of that trophy and post it here.
[bleep] the trophy. He does it, flat hole, minimal wind, let's say three balls to make it reasonable. One over 300 in the fairway =$1000.
0 out of the three go 300 in the fairway, I'm $1000 richer.
Literally any long drive champ jumps on that bet like a fat kid on the last Twinkie on earth.
Edit: we are talking actual distance, as in a laser rangefinder shot back from the ball to someone standing on the tee box.
goalie,
first, it is good to have another HOCKEY fan back on the 'fire. Thank goodness for new phones, eh?
Second................I think with this guy you'll have to have Rick hold the money, seems I recall some arrangement for a $40K bet or such. Maybe a measly grand isn't deserving of that treatment.
Technically, I'm on a tablet. But the lack of pop ups is glorious.
As for the bet, flights are cheap, I figured a grand makes it worth my while to go watch yet another "long drive winner" not hit further than 250.......
Should it happen, I think we all would love to see pics or a short video!
Got a friend who would take that bet...and yo money! (Member here)
I know a few as well.
Not a one would be saying the things elky has, in the manner he has.
And they wouldn't have pretended not to see the bet until called out multiple times, they would have accepted the instant I hit "post reply"
Kinda like duck ignoring the fact that there hasn't been a double ace since Korea.......
You have to be a real punk to run your mouth and then not be willing to back it up.....on the course or on the turf. My guess is, ElkSlayer91 (Ace) is Ducks golf partner they trade driving and putting. Back to golf, 200+ yards in the fairway with one chance using a driver isn't as easy as it sounds. Once you put money or mouth into the equation golf can get really humbling, that's what makes it such a great game. You know you can do it you've done it a thousand times, and you end up pushing it or pulling it.
Played 36 total, yesterday and today at the NCAA Division-I course at the Air Force Academy with my BIL (Ret. Colonel) Course was closed. No crowds.

According to the database @ https://www.americanfighteraces.org, the only living USAF/USAFR Colonel double ace (there were 42 of them) who is still alive is Col Bud Anderson. He's 98 and lives in California. I find it hard to believe he was out playing 36 holes.
Just watching this stupid thread from the sidelines.
Played 9 holes at the little pitch-n-putt executive course a mile from the house. Shot a 34. Dropped one in from the bunker with the 60d LW to save par - it was a helluva shot. 2 putted from 5 feet away the next hole. FUGG!

Duck O' Doofus,
I know you're exceptionally stupid so I'm going to explain something for you.
Pugs is an aviator.
Pugs is telling you that you're full of fugking schit.
Paul Revere's Midnight Ride was an act of heroism...but did you know that a 16-year old girl did a very similar act, in worse conditions and with better results?
Sybil Ludington answered the call to action without hesitation, riding further than Paul Revere did! Sybil is the perfect example of why anyone can become a hero, so long as they are willing to answer when called.
However DuckAce outdid both Revere and Ludington with tales of bullchit... WHILE EATING A BAG OF DORITOS!
Is that 300 yard bet still a thing and can anyone with the name ducks or elk get in on it? I’ll let you pick which one of my drivers I use and I’ll only swing twice. Three chances is highway robbery.
Elkdroppings, I’ll match the $1,000 bet right now if you can hit a single ball out of 10 over 300 yards with a persimmon headed/hickory shafted club.

Put up or shut up.
My offer was just to elky. And he can use any legal driver. Well, he could have. Despite being a multi-time long drive winner at tournaments, he declined to take my bet.
He’s off on a tangent about the excellent chukar and antelope hunting opportunities in his native California now. But NO ONE could pay him ANY amount of money to EVER move back there.....
You need to find some pink pucks for the beer league too.
That would be a lot easier to track and stop/catch than black.
Might remind me of the days of the Foxtrax crap they tried to foist on HOCKEY enthusiasts in an attempt to get newbies to be able to follow the game better.
But, in your position I bet it would make seeing it in a crowd a lot easier than trying to find it in a bunch of black skates.

By reading your posts on 24hr I'm pretty sure that you are secure enough in your manhood to use those balls. What brand?
They are some low-compression Wilson balls. They'll work, I usually just buy lots of drinks for the guys while slamming Gatorade myself and cruise to victory all weekend.
So how long is that fowl mouthed OP banned for this time? Weeks, months? Maybe banned so bannedly that even the great JC (Jim Conrad) can't get em outa this one?

Can't remember who said he's banned earlier today but that's the word on the street. Its kind of a covert thing around here no clear indication someone's banned, other than his avatar is gone which could be for other reasons too..

You lie. I didn't run away. I don't have to prove jack to you.
And by the way, wasn't it you who put requirements on the "type" of driver I had to use in that thread, a hickory shaft?
Go pull up that thread........I have no problem helping you make a fool out of yourself again.
Can we discuss disc golf here? Or is this for the purists only?
It's for hard wood and balls only.....no frisbee.
Hard wood and balls... sounds like a Kingston text
Word is he's compiling robot sex footage for the next round
Did he finally figure out how to sex his robot? I told him tacos or bananas. It’s not that complicated.
The damn thing won't eat or drink and quit vacuuming. We're gonna try Spaghetti and Chinese food next. If that doesn't work, we might have to send it back.

And I imagine you're one of those soy boys who has to have the latest metal driver (CHEAT STICK), because you just simply aren't man enough to swing a persimmon fast enough to roll it out over 300 off the drive.
How's that 13 degree puzzy driver working out for you, to help you get the ball airborne, so you hopefully get your 225 yard monster drive from the lady's box close enough for an approach in reg?
Elky, since you asked, this is what started it.
You kept opening your cock-holster and it got better and better.

Hey, boomer, ain't nobody playing anything but metal woods since Christ was a corporal.

Literally any long drive champ jumps on that bet like a fat kid on the last Twinkie on earth.
Edit: we are talking actual distance, as in a laser rangefinder shot back from the ball to someone standing on the tee box.
And here the bet became official, and you ran like a beotch in the other direction, because you're 100% full of it, and now you're pretending you don't remember running your cock-holster.
After you easily stuffed a 9 degree driver up your ass...Conquering your putter was no big deal.
Now get back in your room until I tell you to come out.
Yep, 9 degrees will get you 300-300+, if you're man enough to control it off the tee....
Had a friend with a 8 degree Taylor Made. I could spank it pretty good with that metal wood, but metal just doesn't feel right, after watching the greats use wood for so many years.
Golf is supposed to be about tradition and class......something you don't have.....
What’s next you played golf with a 2x ace at a golf course in Colorado Springs?? If so that story been used..
Elky, anyone that claims he can hit a 9 degree actual wood driver (that's you) 300+ but won't take a $1000 bet to hit one of three tries 300+ with any legal driver is obviously completely and utterly full of chit.
Literally nothing you can say or do will change people's perception of you, It's too late. Kinda like Ducky and the "double ace" saluting story. It's impossible to take either of you seriously because you've proven yourselves to be a lying POS

So, you're saying you need a tailwind and huge downhill?
Man, you really sound like a legit long-drive trophy winner. I mean, who puts crazy rules in place like having to actually drive 300 on a flat hole!?!?
Considering that I have hit 300+ on certain holes in certain conditions, and I average 250, a "flat hole, no huge tailwind" stipulation hardly seems unreasonable.
Then again, the fact that you're acting like you're going to somehow get injured hitting a golf ball does take away some of the golf cred you'd built up in this thread....

You're an excellent closet democrat the way you twist the truth around to cover your azz.
I never said I actually need the wind to my back or a downhill hole. I simply pointed out you aren't man enough to make a straight up bet, and now you're attempting to cover up that fact.
Let's show everyone how much of a hypocrite you are with your quote below:

If we follow your logic, then your Stanley Cup Ring team members in your beer league, never were Stanley Cup Ring receivers, being they might not be able to compete at the same level as when they won their rings.
I said, "I have won the long drive prize in tournaments, more than once,...with a persimmon...."
So, according to your deranged mental state, anything anyone has accomplished in the past is negated if they can't still duplicate the performance anytime in the future.
I use to average 275, and like others in that range, every once in awhile, when you catch it perfect on the screws and the fairway grass isn't too high, and you get a good roll, you get a 300 here and there on a windless flat hole, because you are swinging for the hills on the holes that have a side purse for the LD holes, whereas you don't swing for the hills on every hole.
I was also clowning around a little, just like everyone does here, but not that I haven't hit it 300 on many occasions, but because I have. Whether I "still" can doesn't matter, when you have already done it several times over the years. That gives you the creds to talk smack.
It doesn't mean you have to prove it later in life everytime a drunk tub online wants to challenge you.
Anyone, like you, who thinks you do is a mentally deranged imbecile.
2x aces playing golf with the duck of death. Elky being all hat and no cattle when it comes to golf, just like his "hunting" exploits.
On the golf side, at least my shop has a 10' ceiling so I can use my orange whip. Otherwise, come spring, I'd end up injured from swinging a fugging golf club like Elky......

Elkynutts is a 24hr campfire treasure. For sure. LMFAO!!!!
Exactly! I just started last year and believe me I'm no good at all but I do have a lot of fun playing. I bought new clubs earlier this year (3 - 4 times what my original set cost) and I am no better at all lol
LMFAO I didn't think it was possible for someone to step on their dick as many times in a day as you. Damn!
Dontcha have to have a dick, before you can step on it?
If there is any male on this site who knows everything there is to know about dic, it is you, with your choice of a username, so you can telegraph to everyone you fully enjoy a male’s foreskin taking up space deep within your throat.
Holy phu cking god. Elkphukker, we knew you couldn’t hit it 300 yards so don’t act like your admission of as much is earth shattering news. Pretty sure I never saw Goalie on here making stupid ass hockey bets he couldn’t back up.
Now you’re going to tell us that the many long drive trophies you won were years ago? You occasionally hit one over 300 with the right conditions? Ph uck now you’re afraid to even try because you’ll injure yourself?
This defies logic. The only explanation here is that you’re just a socially awkward loser who has no idea how to engage in normal conversation with “the guys.” You’re that guy who just has to take it to the next level, no matter how much of a lie it is. Now can you see why people are saying you and dickofcheese go down on each other?
I can see it now, there you were in 1972, senior year, homecoming game. Friday night and the lights were bright and there’s our little elkgargler making claims about being the best wizard slaying trombone player in the state, or whatever the hell kids in the band did on homecoming night.
Give it a rest, dude. Just because one time in 1991 you hit a downhill tee shot with a tailwind that hit the cart path three times and went 302 yards doesn’t mean you phu cking matter.
Jesus Christ with this I don’t want to injure myself and need the right conditions. Phu ck me running elkswallower, I can hit a six iron 300 yards with the right conditions. I’d say get back in the basement, but I’m sure you’re already there. Go ahead and close this window and fire up your video games again so you and the rest of your posse can continue living out these dreams unchallenged.
I swapped out all the grips on my irons with these newer, fatter styles and I have found that I hit waaaay straighter and more consistently than I had previously. Initially I only re-gripped three of them to see if there was any difference. After 36 holes I did the rest.
After golfing 36 more the past two days, I'm sold.

Just catching up on this thread. I don't know if fatter grips would help me but I know if I interlace my right pinky with my left index finger when hitting I have SOOOO much more control of my ballz. However I lose 10 to 20 yards on a swing. Maybe I should look into my grips.

Hey, boomer, ain't nobody playing anything but metal woods since Christ was a corporal.
And I've got $1000 that says you can't drive 300 yards on a flat hole, no wind, until you get in the cart with your boyfriend.
I have won the long drive prize in tournaments, more than once,...with a persimmon....
Snap a pic of that trophy and post it here.
[bleep] the trophy. He does it, flat hole, minimal wind, let's say three balls to make it reasonable. One over 300 in the fairway =$1000.
0 out of the three go 300 in the fairway, I'm $1000 richer.
Literally any long drive champ jumps on that bet like a fat kid on the last Twinkie on earth.
Edit: we are talking actual distance, as in a laser rangefinder shot back from the ball to someone standing on the tee box.
And here the bet became official, and you ran like a beotch in the other direction, because you're 100% full of it, and now you're pretending you don't remember running your cock-holster.
I'm not sure if it's really sad or really funny.
Wrong. The bet never became official because you're a puzzy.
You had to put stipulations to your bet to give yourself an edge.
THAT MAKES YOU A PUZZY.

A real man would have stated, "you can use any legal ball, any legal club, on any legal golf course.
PUZZIES MAKE STIPULATIONS TO A BET TO GIVE THEM AN EDGE, NOT REAL MEN.
I don't waste my time with puzzies, and a $1,000 is nowhere close for going out and swinging for the hills, and taking the risk of possibly injuring oneself just to prove I can still do it.....especially for some cyber stalking narcissist like you.
Go sit your azz in your crease. It's where the guys who can't skate wind up.
So, you're saying you need a tailwind and huge downhill?
Man, you really sound like a legit long-drive trophy winner. I mean, who puts crazy rules in place like having to actually drive 300 on a flat hole!?!?
Considering that I have hit 300+ on certain holes in certain conditions, and I average 250, a "flat hole, no huge tailwind" stipulation hardly seems unreasonable.
Then again, the fact that you're acting like you're going to somehow get injured hitting a golf ball does take away some of the golf cred you'd built up in this thread....
Seriously, you want us to believe you're a long ball hitting big stick, and then talk about freaking injuring yourself while "trying to prove you still can?!?!????"
LOL
You're an excellent closet democrat the way you twist the truth around to cover your azz.
I never said I actually need the wind to my back or a downhill hole. I simply pointed out you aren't man enough to make a straight up bet, and now you're attempting to cover up that fact.
Let's show everyone how much of a hypocrite you are with your quote below:

If we follow your logic, then your Stanley Cup Ring team members in your beer league, never were Stanley Cup Ring receivers, being they might not be able to compete at the same level as when they won their rings.
I said, "I have won the long drive prize in tournaments, more than once,...with a persimmon...."
So, according to your deranged mental state, anything anyone has accomplished in the past is negated if they can't still duplicate the performance anytime in the future.
I use to average 275, and like others in that range, every once in awhile, when you catch it perfect on the screws and the fairway grass isn't too high, and you get a good roll, you get a 300 here and there on a windless flat hole, because you are swinging for the hills on the holes that have a side purse for the LD holes, whereas you don't swing for the hills on every hole.
I was also clowning around a little, just like everyone does here, but not that I haven't hit it 300 on many occasions, but because I have. Whether I "still" can doesn't matter, when you have already done it several times over the years. That gives you the creds to talk smack.
It doesn't mean you have to prove it later in life everytime a drunk tub online wants to challenge you.
Anyone, like you, who thinks you do is a mentally deranged imbecile.
Oddly enough, I find swinging normally, produces longer, more accurate drives.
"Swinging for the hills" is a YUGE rookie mistake !
Oversize grips help to inhibit the action of the hands in the sing. Most amateurs use to much hand action, or use the hands incorrectly. Oversize grips minimize this, and as you saw, the result is straighter shots.

Whatever the cause it sure helped. Played a quick nine the other day and whipped the other dude’s ass.
Played 9 yesterday at the local par 3 track with my 3 year old in tow. In honor of Elks, I brought along an old Macgregor persimmon 5 wood.
I hit one green out of 9 and it was with the Ol’ hardwood. 191 yards uphill with a bit of head wind. Put it 12-15’ behind the pin and still posted a 4 on the hole.🖕
On the positive side, I didn’t loose a single ball.

That's called winning.
I got mine in today and was golfing quite well (for me).
I got a set of McGregor persimmon woods I think from about 1954. Re shafted and new leather grips about 20 years ago. 1 2 3 4 wood. I think they are worth a grand or so.
Most people that are too uncoordinated to golf are also too uncoordinated to hit wild birds in flight or manage a fly line.
I have no doubt ice fishing suits you.
Score. You really are a funny bastard. And arrogant as well. I do fine with ruffed grouse and woodcock, when I feel [bleep]. LL’s and Bows are easy. Native EBT’s are something else. Golf....
My scores dropped significantly with R flex and graphite.
I’m sure that day isn’t too far in my future, but right now it won’t work. The club head would still be at shoulder height while my hands were through the ball. It’d look like some kind of a trick lasso show going on.
At this rate I probably need to sell the damn things anyways and buy more ammo.
Sizing grips on the net is right up there with getting fit for clubs indoors.
As aww, c'mon man, the launch monitor never lies!!!!!
Where should a person get fit for clubs?
Call PXG. They’ve got mobile fitters who will come meet you at a local course/range, set up their launch monitor and bring about 300 shafts and about 100 heads, and will do an entire bag fitting with no obligation to buy their clubs.
To be fair, they’re salesmen so they’re going to want to sell you clubs; but, you can at least get the information from them and make your mind up from there. To be honest, with as much time as the guy spent with me getting everything dialed in, I kinda felt obligated to order some clubs from him. A couple weeks after they got delivered, he was in my area again and dropped off a cart bag for free, so that was kinda cool. Doesn’t make up for the second mortgage I had to take out to cover the cost of those bats, though.
This is what they brought out the day I had one of them come meet me in BFE.

That is a much better answer than "outside" or "a golf course."

I thank you.
Well, considering how serious you are most of the time, we should have realized you'd want a clear, concise answer. Preferably with a link(s).
So, serious answer time: launch monitors can be jacked. I've seen club/shaft combos that looked great on the monitor suck azz on the course or range. In fairness, I've had a few that were nuts on as well.
FWIW, you still want the launch monitors data. So, in my experience, a good fitter has you at least hit on the monitor outside, possibly after narrowing down club/shaft choices inside.
You can bring the launch monitor outside, you can't bring full ball flight inside.
I understand the argument against indoor club fitting and analysis. I was just curious as to where people typically go to have it done.
There are places locally that let you play a round after they fit and equip you with clubs, but all the fitting takes place indoors.
I have checked with Titleist and their website says “no events scheduled near you.” Could be a COVID thing, I don’t know.
PXG might be the ticket. I will find a veteran to purchase them for me.
It's not that you don't get great info from the launch monitor indoors. Spin, ball speed etc all matter.
But, for instance, if the big "difference" between your driver and a new one you are looking at is carry/distance, but your spin is about the same, there's a better than even chance that it won't translate to the course, or at least not nearly as much. I can hit drives 300 more than rarely on the PGA Tour Superstore launch monitor.
I never do it on the course without the aid of gravity (downhill hole) or god (gale force winds).
If you get fitted, just swing. Don't do anything differently because you're being watched and getting fitted. Within reason, you can buy a better game, but the fitter needs to be working with your natural swing to do it.
As for where, I asked my 1.7 index buddy who he used. It was a local pro at a country club who did the fitting at a driving range.
Not cheap, but worth it. Poor bastard has to bring a freaking trailer full of stuff to the range.
With store bought clubs my league handicap was 17-18 for years.
Immediately after new, fitted clubs 12-13. After learning to putt, 10-11 this year.
Golf is more fun when you know you're not shooting >100

Dayam, bro. That's some serious ass-kissin.
Schumer ya uncle?
Hahaha. Nope, I’m told they treat everyone this way. They want you to have a custom, pro-level experience from the ground up. Near as I can tell, they’re pretty true to their word.
And, for what it’s worth, the guy who did mine said he was a Titleist fitter for 20+ years before switching to PXG. He said he really enjoyed putter fitting because most folks didn’t even realize it was a thing. Arced stroke vs. straight back/through, toe hang, face balance, etc. We spent nearly an hour on the putting green messing around with about a dozen different putter heads, shafts, and grips only for him to tell me to go buy a certain type of Cameron, gave me the weight pattern I needed, and told me what grip to have put on it. So, even though they’re salesmen, I kinda felt like they might have enough of a base salary to still give a [bleep] about actually improving people’s game.

You'd have to be pretty black to let a guy go through all that and not buy a set of clubs.

Tee-time in an hour.
Hollah, hollah.
Yep. I ended up buying a whole set, minus the putter. Goalie is right - the veteran’s discount is solid and was insane two years ago around Veteran’s Day.
I really like the clubs, too. Plus, if the schitt really does hit the fan, I can sell them and buy a yacht and live at sea.
Golf friends, I have great news on many golf levels.
Yesterday I realized that all my real life golf friends are broke dick fugking losers that can't golf unless their wives and children allow them. So I whored myself to a starter and he allowed me to golf with three total strangers. Being new to golf this made me a wee bit nervous but I would rather golf with people I don't know than not golf at all. I golfed as well as I normally do and my ego grew accordingly.
I can proudly say I have learned to hit my 2 Hybrid like a boss, and it is making my golf life much easier.
After PT'ing this morning I hit my driving range:
As my balls fell into my bucket I looked up, and I saw the most glorious of announcements.
"THURSDAY the 14th. FREE FITTING BY COBRA SALES REPRESENTATIVE"
I promptly signed up. Chick at the counter (she loves me) said the discount they give is substantial.

It’s a trade off. Sure, you get winter golf, but we have access to some of the finest listerine/cologne/isopropyl based hooch this side of Canada, so maybe pump the brakes before calling us losers. Plus, when we get our PFD’s, we can splurge for Early Times and that schitt is so smooth.

Nah,
Maybe you can get a job as a an assistant of some sort? The Panthers need help bro..................just like the Sharks this season.
But we'll be able to see games on the tube........................that's gotta be better than hearing announcers whisper " He's addressing the ball now, he struggled on the 17th" , then waiting for 3 minutes for the dude to decide how he wants to hit it.
I think they should start giving penalties in golf for "Delay of Game". You've got 15 seconds to stick in the tee, place your ball, and wail away. It's not like the fairway moved from the practice round the day before. Wind? think of it like hunting, the wind changes, deal with it. 30 seconds at most. As you know, dudes can get in two shots on goal, 2 trips up and down the ice, and a crunching hit to a dude in the corner in 30 seconds.

Golf friends, I have great news on many golf levels.
Yesterday I realized that all my real life golf friends are broke dick fugking losers that can't golf unless their wives and children allow them. So I whored myself to a starter and he allowed me to golf with three total strangers. Being new to golf this made me a wee bit nervous but I would rather golf with people I don't know than not golf at all. I golfed as well as I normally do and my ego grew accordingly.
I can proudly say I have learned to hit my 2 Hybrid like a boss, and it is making my golf life much easier.
After PT'ing this morning I hit my driving range:
As my balls fell into my bucket I looked up, and I saw the most glorious of announcements.
"THURSDAY the 14th. FREE FITTING BY COBRA SALES REPRESENTATIVE"
I promptly signed up. Chick at the counter (she loves me) said the discount they give is substantial.
The golf stars are aligning for Flave.
That's some serious "offset" on yer irons there Mr !
If you're playing better than bogey golf (legit bogey, not mulligans, foot wedges, 4-foot gimme putt bogey) then you probably are consistent enough that a fitting will help.

I've no reason to fib.
I was 17 over on the front nine and 7 over on the back nine.

I wasn't saying you were, but there are a lot of "bogey" golfers I've known that, when I've played with them, were not even close to breaking 50 on either nine.
I have friends that are pissed off shooting an 81 from the tips on difficult courses and friends that only get mad if the cart girl isn't seen for two consecutive holes.
In the end, until I started playing in a league, I always thought I was better than my actual league tracked handicap actually showed.
But, as I said earlier in this thread: getting fitted dropped my scores by a statistically significant amount. Same swing, more fairways, more greens, less penalty strikes=winning.
I hope the guy with Cobra can explain all this schit.
cavity back or game improvement irons is all you need to know.
What does that mean?
It means Paulina Gretzky looks amazing in white yoga pants and sports-bra for fact. It also means that she looks even BETTER out of those white clothes but I haven't any photo evidence.

What’s the p-value?
Ah breaker, breaker one nine that would be a p value of 600

Golf isn't about golf, it's about betting, all kinds of bets/games can be had and usually have 2 or more different ones at the same time, even the pros have bets going on between themselves per round and tally up after. With presses and such the last hole/holes are really where it's at, no matter how good you started if you finish bad you will be slammed. Lots of team games/bets, team tournaments, calcuttas, best ball...
Anyway I used to golf, was a solid 10 handicap which put me as a low C or high B player depending on the tournament. Most I won was 1200.00 per man on a calcutta. Lowest I shot was a 69 individually, usually in the mid 70s. Most public and private neighborhood courses are called short courses, even from the tips they are much shorter and easier slope/hazards than a PGA tour course, your handicap represents what you should shoot at a regular long harder course. Not often does a regular golfer play a long course, most 70 to 72 par courses are 6000 to 7000 yards. As a +10, I should have shot in the mid 70s consistent and I did, my buddies that were scratch to +4 would shoot well below par and if shot par would have had a terrible day.
Broke my leg on an elk hunt in '09 and couldn't golf for over a year, then couldn't really get myself back into it, it takes a lot of practice, playing and commitment to stay competitive.
I miss the guys and the fun and the jokes and the jibes, they still ask me to come play and I tried but can't compete, we play mostly team bets and whoever picked me got the short end of the stick, I know they don't care that much but I compare what player I used to be over who I am now and just don't play anymore.
I did go out this last summer and play 3 rounds of solo golf to see where I was at, kept my drives short to stay in play, shot 2 mid 80s and a 79, which puts me about a +18. Negative was I had only 4 birdies in 3 rounds, though playing short on a short course means few doubles and triples from going long and hitting out of bounds a couple times. Scoring a birdie, 5 pars and the rest bogies maybe 1 double won't play in team play. You need to be able to dominate a number of holes, toss out a few that you went for it but failed and hold the line on about half with a par. Boom or bust, mediocre/bogie doesn't hack it.
I played with a lot of really good golfers, club pros, regional pro tournament players, sometimes they would even qualify for a PGA open, have lots of stories, again I was a C player which means in team play I was 3rd, expected to pick up some holes, make some putts and hit some shots in to help the team...
Anyway , lots of stories but a favorite one is one of the guys that played with us was a famous olympic gold metal winner, he was about the same handicap as me. He couldn't make a local charity tournament and asked if I would take his place. I did but we didn't change the name, it was team play with 2 foursomes together on the same hole, when the other team showed up they were like... 'I thought you might be him'... I said 'I get that a lot'... got a lot of laughs out of that.
Hardest course I played was Alcatraz, PGA West Palm Springs, it's where they started the skins games with Nichlaus, Trevino ect... an MF'er course. Played it 3 times, first round 101, second round 99, third round wanted to hit 90. I was pretty close coming into 17, Island green par 3, made famous when Trevino won a huge skin. I get up and hit a great shot about 7 feet from the hole. We were playing a 2 man team tournament, our own ball, best score of the two written down per hole. The other guys partner got drunk the night before so I was the partner of both guys it was decided by the group. My first partner hits his in the water, my second partner hits his in the water. My ball counts for both teams and I'm sitting good so not a huge deal. We go to the drop zone circle, about 60yd shot... first guy hits it in the water,,, second guy hits it in the water... some snickering... next guy hits it in the water... laughing... next guy hits it in the water... horse laughing... I'm trying to keep calm as I have a birdie put on the famous 17 of Alcatraz... they finally get on lying like 8 or 9, still laughing, I'm like you F'ers quit it you're making me laugh while putting... I missed and made an easy par which was great anyway... shot a 91, the best 91 of my life.

Kent
Kent,
That's some good reading buddy. Sounds like you're a helluva golfer.
I know what you mean about the courses too. When I have golfed legit courses I think to myself "Jesus Christ, this is tiring." LOL
I have read stories about Michael Jordan playing 18 and 36 holes the day of a playoff game and always thought that was impressive. But now that I've actually golfed some big'ish courses I realize that it's just flat fugking amazing. Those guys are at a whole other level.
I got my youngest daughter enrolled in "First Tee" at our local course yesterday. She seems to really enjoy it and I hope she sticks with it.
I've been an outside guy my whole life, grew up surrounded by cotton, alfalfa, maze fields, citrus groves by the mile, canals and ditches, we had livestock, milk cows, horses, raised calves, rabbits. Had BB guns then 22s and shotguns. Our chores and play was outside.
What does that have to do with golf... golf is outside, the smell of grass, ponds, natures beauty, waterfowl... it just suits the eye to an outdoors person.
Then the personal challenge, it's the hardest thing to attempt, no one can master golf, I've seen Tiger Woods make a 10 on a par 3, the best can recover quickly from failure, the best are better than everyone else, they aren't better than golf itself. I suppose if someone played a round and birdied every hole, they could claim to have mastered it for a round... never happen.
There is nothing negative to being outside for an extended period and working on physical dexterity/self discipline/concentration. Only thing that comes close to it in the hunting/fishing world is archery and archery isn't as hard.
Get your kids and grandkids out there through some of the programs, support if they want to continue. You can't go fishing all the time or camping or hunting, but you can hit the links or the driving range for an hour or two any afternoon with the kids.
I was in college the first time I was taken to golf with some buddies, I barely could get the ball off the ground, it wasn't anything like I imagined, I thought how hard could it be to hit it straight down the grass and straight onto the green, putting would be the hard part... completely opposite. So I bought some clubs and would go to the municipal course in the afternoons as a single, 5 bucks to play 9 holes, in the summer it was 5 bucks all you could play, couldn't afford a cart. Unless no one was there you'd go out with other players if less than a foursome. Met some nice people and idiots.
A lot of construction guys play, from multi millionaire developers, contractors to guys like my buddy and I who swing a pick and shovel in the morning and a club in the afternoon. We had a large group and mix of guys that played Wednesday afternoons on a scramble, friday afternoons on skins, plus about every afternoon in the summer when the snowbirds are gone and the courses are wide open, different guys were looking for a game, and if you started by 3:30 you could get 27 or 36 holes in before dark. Most the club pros at our regular courses played with us at different times so they didn't care how many holes we played.
It's about the gambling and the hole to hole emotional ride, and yet it wasn't about the 20 or 30 bucks you might win or lose, everyone knows after some time it all equals out and no one's trying to make a house payment, it heightens the competition.
Lots of stories on last hole putts that swung the bets from losing big to winning big. But the best one...
My buddy and I were called to play by two other guys, a developer and his superintendent. The developer Ray is a scratch golfer that keeps his handicap at a +6 for local big money tourneys... we don't play in those but he did often, often winning thousands of dollars. He also like to screw with people on the course, talking while you putt on purpose and such, some guys won't play with him, they need their quiet. Doesn't bother my buddy and I. The other guy Bob is about an 8, so they have to give us some strokes, my buddy and I are a team, they are a team, low score vs low score, high vs high per hole. So a team could win 2 points or 1 point or tie both or lose 1 or lose 2, per hole... at the end of the round the points are counted and usually it's a dollar a point per man. No onw gets hurt but it's the competition. They had to give us 4 strokes, so the 4 hardest holes, on those holes if we make a par it's a birdie, bogie is a par, ect. They have to beat us by 1 to tie, 2 to win, on those 4 holes.
By the time we are to the 15th hole we are done with our stroke holes and doing well, have them behind on points... Par 5, shouldn't be that hard for any of us... but it's golf...
They get up and hit good drives. My buddy bombs it but out of bounds, I hit a chit drive and almost out. My buddy hits another and laying 3, those guys are licking their chops.
I'm first and hit it almost out pulling it across the fairway still 200 out, my buddy 3 woods it 10 yards short of the green laying 4, Bob hit's his on to within 12 feet for an eagle putt, Ray is just off the green laying 2.
I hit a chit shot 50 yds short of the green laying 3, I'm up again and get on the top tier the green, the hole is in the front, 60 feet and a huge drop in the middle, Laying 4. Ray chips on to about 6 feet laying 3... So I'm laying 4 with an impossible putt, my buddy is laying 4 just off the green in front, Bob is 2 with a decent eagle putt and Ray 3 with a decent birdie putt.
Now before my buddy chips I say... you know if Keith makes that chip and I make my putt, Bob 3 putts and you 2 putt, we tie... Oh ya right.
Keith chips it in... par
I'm laughing... I putt, it rides the break, over the drop, down to the hole and BOOM... in... par.
I'm laughing my ass off and they are shaking their heads.
Now Bob has to 2 putt at worst and Ray has to 1 putt for them to win 2 points. Ray 2 putts from 6 feet and they can only win 1.
Bob putts and knocks it by 5 feet, laying 3, no gimme... Ray misses his and taps in for par... one tie for us... Bob is sweating, if he misses we tie the second point and he 3 putted a 12 foot eagle try... he misses...
We are laughing so hard and they are so dejected, we dominate the last couple holes and they paid us 20 bucks each.
I still remind Ray about that sometimes and he still just shakes his head.
Yeah, I love golf. Golf, fishing, hunting, and skiing are my passions (not necessarily in that order). I didn't take up the game until I was 30. I wish I had started earlier, as it would have been another thing I could have done with my dad, but when I was younger I figured it was just an old man's game. Arnold Palmer once said that golf was the most difficult game in the world to learn to play well, and my own experience supports that. It is an incredibly tough game to play - the learning curve is glacially slow - and that's part of the attraction. There's always room for improvement, and that brings you back for the next round.

Kent,
I agree with all of this and I will add that wherever I have lived I have tried to take advantage of the things that are immediately available.
I am glad I started golfing here and not somewhere else because the idea of a cut off month would drive me crazy right now.

You put a whole different spin on it than anybody else that's been saying how much fun it is.
For bogey golf, a 3.5 mile course ='s over 4 miles of walking.
I don't golf for exercise.
I golf to golf.
you mean it's not about the beer?
My "other brother" Eddie, folks used to honestly think we were related, came traipsing down the hall in HS with a letterman's jacket on. Little golf ball and tee on his letter. I said WTF, golf?
He said "We get to take off early on practice days, we find someone to buy us some brewskis, and we walk around the course with six packs in our bags. Beats football practice all to hell"
Outside of it being golf, I had a hard time arguing against his logic.
I live in a golf community, I can look out the window and see golfers out enjoying the time outside and at the same time see others walking their dog down the street holding a plastic bag of dogchit enjoying the time outside... how do you choose which is funner?

Like being in hell with your back broke......
Well, I lived over 40 years with acreage and never ending chores, it's a trade off for freedom to recreate more outdoors, and a good trade.
That golf "fitting" ended up being quite the goat fugk.
I show up at my time and there are two Boomers hitting. Cobra had two bays reserved and they were both occupied. The manager of the driving range (ass hole to the extreme) is part of the sales pitch and offering free buckets of balls with each purchase.
There's a significant "we all know each other vibe" in the air and one of the two Boomer's must have a sore dick because holy cow is the Cobra rep sucking it for everything it's worth.
Poor bastard #1 slowly walks away and they ask my name. I affirm I have the 4:30 slot and the Cobra rep starts asking questions.
"What are you looking for today"
"I'd like to get fitted for irons."
"How long have you been golfing."
"Since July or August."
"AUGUST???"
"Yeah."
"Are these your clubs."
"Yeah."
"These are really good clubs."
"I think so."
(pulls six iron from bag)
"Did you have these re-gripped?"
"I re-gripped them but yes."
"I thought you were new to golf."
"I watched a YouTube video."
"OK, well hit 10 straight with your six iron and we'll take it from there. Not your Nine or Wedge, because everybody can hit those straight."
"Got it."
(10 hits straight as a fugking arrow down the imaginary fairway) I'm feeling exceptionally arrogant and as I turn around the guy tells me that anybody that can hit irons that straight doesn't need new irons.
Drivers are like cell phones and computers, the state of the art one 6 months ago is out dated and no good, worth 50 bucks... here's the new 500 dollar one...

The guy that was getting an immeasurable amount of blow jobs ended up with a $600 Driver.
Well, nobody lives on a golf course, it's private property, your property line may abut it.
Kent
Fine by me.
I think I would be in a single wide someplace near other single wide's if I wasn't here.
Or someplace equally crappy.
Ha, was just quoting a golf course manager who was taking chit from someone who told him... well I live on the 18th hole, like it gave them special privilege... he said nope, you don't live on the golf course it's private property... laughed my ass off.

I brutalized one the other day and I was pretty sure which yard it was in.
As I approached I counted no less than 8 balls in that poor bastard's back yard.
Best is when a nongolfer owns the house, you slam their roof and they come out... can't you control your ball... hell no I can't, if I could I'd be on the tour playing great course not this chitty one.

I have not had that happen yet but my buddy lives on a course that is "private." It's amazingly well maintained and managed. I think it's one of those courses that only exists because of retired yankees moving down here and building an inexpensive subdivision.
The posts on social media are flat fugkin' hilarious. "This orange ball came through my window? Who do I contact? If I find the person can I sue them?"
Uhhh, don't buy a town home on a golf course, you fugkin' retard.

Ha, was just quoting a golf course manager who was taking chit from someone who told him... well I live on the 18th hole, like it gave them special privilege... he said nope, you don't live on the golf course it's private property... laughed my ass off.

I brutalized one the other day and I was pretty sure which yard it was in.
As I approached I counted no less than 8 balls in that poor bastard's back yard.
That has got to get old pretty quick.
I was confronted by a guy who lives by a hole at a course in Bozeman. Bounced one off his roof with my tee shot and he came out in a robe yelling at me because his grandkid had gotten hit by a wayward ball a few weeks earlier.
It was this hole, number 7 at Bridger Creek, his house was right to the right of the tee on 6, left of the green on 7:
His house is the one with the red spot on it:
The card calls it 409 from the tips and 392 from the blues, don’t remember which we were playing from that day. It’s a dogleg, so it’s a little overstated since they measure through the fairway and I took the pro line.
Anyways, this day my parents were in town visiting and the old man plays so we all went out. Two carts full of us - my parents, my wife, and two kids - just to set the scene - this guy’s like 75 and he comes outside and is PISSED.
He’s yelling at me telling me how bad of a golfer I was if I hit his house with my second shot because of how far left of the green it was. I told him that was my tee shot and I was going for the green. He says I’m not that good and shouldn’t be trying shots like that. Luckily my ball had bounced off his roof and back out in bounds on the back tee of six.
It was all I could do to keep from walking over there and getting after this dude, but I could tell my Mom was getting upset with the situation because she thought she was about to witness her son kick the schitt out of a mouthy old man.
This dude is non-stop talking schitt to me and my old man says, “Just play your shot and let’s go. Your kids don’t need to see this.”

I drained it for eagle from the tee of 6.
I bet he don't even golf.
If you live on a golf course, don’t bitch about golf balls hitting your house.
A driver at most is 14 shots, if you 2 putt every green that's 36. Don't concentrate on the drive to start with, it won't save you shots and lose you shots. You really could score better leaving it in the bag but we all want to bomb the driver.
It's been said a million times but if you can chip on and 2 putt from 40 yards in you will lower your scores immediately.
You can hit a 3 iron and 9 to 6 iron on about every par 4 out to 360. Good bet is hit whatever gets you to 150 out and it could sneak longer.
Like playing a par 3 every hole after the drive or 2 hits on a par 5.
Say you hit 6 greens in regulation and 40 yards in on the other 12... if you can 2 putt or have 36 putts for the round, you will shoot 84, if you can pull off a couple 1 putts... 82. You can do that without a driver on most public courses. You will sneak a birdie now and then, may screw up a double now and then, but mostly bogies and pars keeping it in play.
Start using the driver on safer holes later to be come more rounded.
Or be like me and go for it every shot, could be an eagle or X which means a triple or more and you are told to go sit in the cart.

Kent,
If I keep track of my shot distances the score card clearly states that I can't putt for schit. LOL
You’ll never learn to hit it by leaving it in the bag.
True but he's not at the betting stage of his game.
Kent
All the more reason to treat each round like a playing lesson.
I definitely get what you’re saying, and you’re absolutely right. I just figure why bother bringing it if you’re gonna leave it in the bag. Might as well learn how to hit that club while you’re learning to hit the rest of them...
Kent’s dead on with what he’s saying. But by that logic you’re pretty well stuck around the low 80’s. Get that hammer rolling and the sky’s the limit.
I don't know that I agree with that but I'm not good enough at golf to question.
Just saying I don’t think you’ll get much lower without ever using a driver. You’d basically have to be dead on with every single shot to get in the 70’s using nothing but irons. Not saying it’s impossible, just that adding distance to the mix will help.
And while it’s certainly true that a 6” putt is the same amount of strokes as a 300 yard drive, a 300 yard drive is worth half the strokes of two 150 yard iron shots. Control is key because you’re a lot more likely to get some penalty strokes with the hammer than you are with an eight iron, too.
It all comes down to balance and risk/reward. The only thing golfer A and golfer B will agree on is that golfer C is doing it wrong.

Definitely, round out the squad with duck and the double ace and you guys will probably set a (insert school name here) tournament record.
Actually I think I’d enjoy witnessing 18 holes played by that foursome.
If you are playing a 400 yard par 4 you need the driver, but most par 4s on regular courses are 330 to 370, that's from the tips. A stinger 3 or rescue club off the tee can get you 110 to 150 out and usually keep you behind the fairway traps they put at about 250. If it's longer use a driver as long as you can keep it in play.
Work the irons a few months then work the driver in slowly.
You will have 'about' 36 putts and 12 chips per round vs 14 drives on a regulation course. Starting out with practice putting, chipping, all the irons, fairway wood and a driver, it's too much.
Putting first, chipping second, approach irons and then woods last... that's the progression to be a decent golfer fast.
Best to take a club and put a full swing on it. Trying to bunt or decelerate a driver often turns disastrous, it's bad swing memory for the next shot and creates holes you can't seem to get to the end of.
Now once you get experience the driver will work it's way in, it'll be balls to the walls, combat golf, do or die every shot.
Talking about drinking, I knew some guys that could put it away on the course. A really good friend of mine coulda woulda shoulda been on tour he was that good, had every shot, hit long, touch, chip and putt... but drank it away. He played best fairly looped but would always go to far, couldn't play and not drink. He had the course record on some of the local ones. One round he shot -1 on the front, was feeling buzzed by the back and shot -7, it was an F'n clinic, drunk as a skunk.
There's "good" at golf and "PGA good". I've played with 2 people who took at run at PGA level, both were by far better than any others I've seen hit a golf ball:
- One was a friend in a league, he bogeyed #1,and shot -6 for the 9, so he went -7 for the last 8 holes and made it look easy. He went on the lower tour twice and went bankrupt both times, couldn't hold his own there.
- One was a guy we randomly got paired with. He went to Q school, shot -1 after 2 days (on PGA level course) and was in like 50th place.
Keep in mind, they both did that while NOT playing much, so not at their potential best.
The reason you shoot better on the back nine when drinking is, you're too plastered to hold your head up, thus keeping your head "down" becomes much easier, and allows you to strike the ball better and shoot lower scores.
And everyone always says it's because it takes the front nine to get drunk warmed up.

A good player makes pars with the tee shot, birdies with the second shot and putter.

Except cognitive impairment negates your argument, fool !
Nobody gets better, the drunker/more buzzed they get, they just think they do, because they can't count correctly any more.

Pity you can't do the same, but don't worry, I do not pity you in the least.
Hey, weren't you the idiot cop who stated just here the other day, you thought you should have the right to kill someone who resisted arrest?
Yeah, that was you......sure was....
You're a mental case pal, and a disgrace to all who wore the badge for the right reasons
Speaking of lying..........
I might have got you mixed up with another LEO troll idiot here who said they thought deadly force was acceptable when a person was resisting arrest.
When someone is being trolled by multiple trolls lying nonstop about me, it's a little hard to keep up with who said what lie or who stated they thought deadly force was acceptable when a person was resisting arrest.
For the record, are you saying you never stated, "deadly force was acceptable when a person was resisting arrest."?

Keep posting. It's the spitting image of an alcoholic idiot closet democrat's verbiage.
Seeing how you won't post any camping, shooting, hunting & even fishing photographic evidence of your achievements, due to them being "imaginary" interests, I guessing you, again, can't prove you standing here, other than your imaginary pseudo bull$hit stories.
Unlike me, who actually does it all, posts it all & is actually aware of where my limitations lie.
For example: I know nothing about hand guns, so I don't pretend too. Never posted jack diddly $hit about them.
You should consider that, & basically stop posting about anything, 'cause all your "stories" have holes & you keep getting caught out via your ego !
You forgot to "quote" my post with your reply.

But that is what you closet democrats do, when the facts hit too close to home, you mentally deranged cyber troll commie.
& yet, you knew I was replying to you !!!

Heading home now to my family, we'll catch up next week, as I don't do the innanet on the weekends.
It's something you would now about me, if you knew anything at all.
Hey, butt bandit, don't forget to dump the "used" tissues out the waste basket, in you Mom's basement !
Phewwww. Just got done chugging down some H2O. Been training for next deer season last couple of weeks. Couple bucks beat me doing the Daniel Day Lewis last of the mohicans run thru the woods stuff this season. Dammm.....
Me and a buncha other buck runners been training together. In 2 or 3 weeks we are gonna start running with our rifles also.
Can anyone teach me golf????? All I ever played was putt putt minature golf stoned outta my mind as a teenager.
And glow golf with my daughters as a upright citizens brigade dad.
I have found golf balls all over the planet in some of the strangest places.
My niece is still in more 24HC dead critter pics than you.
GFY
Do you put your niece's dead kills in the back of your van too, like you showed in your picture you posted, so deer ticks can be spread throughout the van and possibly bite someone down the road, and give them lyme disease. I'd hate to have a dumazz uncle like you, who would carelessly expose "anyone" to lyme disease from deer ticks, because of their sheer stupidity like you displayed.
Last time I heard about someone who pulled that maneuver, the ceiling was covered with ticks.
But then again, you were proud of your certificate to be able to give a non-proven shot to humans, and risk their lives........
Now, if that isn't a great reply to your GFY, then you can simply KMA.
It's something you would now about me, if you knew anything at all.
It's never been a habit of mine to associate with white trash closet democrats, and what little I've ever heard or seen about them has always confirmed their stupidity is not worth my time.

Putting dead critters into any vehicle isn't something you're ever going to need to worry about.
But, you can do this amazing thing called cleaning.
My niece says you're a lying puzzy. And she could out drive you on the golf course.
Hey, weren't you the idiot cop who stated just here the other day, you thought you should have the right to kill someone who resisted arrest?
Yeah, that was you......sure was....
You're a mental case pal, and a disgrace to all who wore the badge for the right reasons
Speaking of lying..........
I might have got you mixed up with another LEO troll idiot here who said they thought deadly force was acceptable when a person was resisting arrest.
When someone is being trolled by multiple trolls lying nonstop about me, it's a little hard to keep up with who said what lie or who stated they thought deadly force was acceptable when a person was resisting arrest.
For the record, are you saying you never stated, "deadly force was acceptable when a person was resisting arrest."?
Translation: I lied, I got caught, and I can't just admit I [bleep] up. Typical damnyankee behavior.

You can clean THE MINIVAN.
But it's funny watching a guy too afraid of ticks to put a deer, in a tarp, in a van and drive 40 minutes home act like he's any kind of hunter.

And there you have it. It only takes ONE bite from ONE tick, and you ain't cleaning that van good enough to get them all out from every corner they go to.
Keep spinning and lying, "you're doing a great job brownee".
Niece: Mommy, why did I have to get lyme disease, and be in pain the rest of my life?
Mommy: Because your uncle didn't "think".
Niece: So uncle was stupid?
Mommy: Yes, but don't tell him I said so. He has issues you know.....
Niece: Maybe they will come up with a shot, like for CV-19.....[mic drop]

Anyhow, if a deer had enough ticks to "cover" the ceiling of a van, you probably would have noticed as they swarmed you when you field dressed it.
But he's not very familiar with processing dead animals either......
Just as expected, closet democrat making up lies, when I have hard evidence it happened from everyone there who seen it with their own eyes.

I d not believe a post can be wholesale deleted here once there are posts past it, but I'm not sure since I've never attempted to do so. Any edits would also be obvious, but I'm not certain I even participated in whatever thread you're ranting about
So..........find the post you lied about it just admit you [bleep] up. You cant, so you continue to double down on the lie, which also shows you to be a hypocrite since you're taking others to task for it
But, to make it easy on you.........no. That wasn't me who posted anything near that.
1. Can you drive a golf ball 300 yards with a persimmon driver?
2. Exactly ow many elk have you "slayed."
1 - I have in the past, just like you've practiced with pros "in the past".
2 - The nickname was not given to me from fellow elk hunters for only slaying just a few......no real elk hunter is going to call another a slayer for just killing 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 or.....

You accuse me of lying, yet you refused to answer a direct question, "multiple" times, as to whether you made the comment, and you have the gall to accuse me of doubling down....lol
There's a reason someone "ignores" a direct question..........
I already stated I might have mistaken you said it, when it was someone else, but it was said, and others here seen it too, I'm sure.
But here's the facts, trolls don't admit to making a mistake, and I'm man enough to admit I might have made a mistake.
Every interaction I've ever had with you here has been you LYING about me with absolutely zero evidence, while you join the pack of closet democrats here who troll me. That is how mentally weak you are.
You don't even deserve the explanation I gave above, because you're a troll too, and the fact you can't accept someone admitting they might have made a mistake, and can only continue with your trolling towards me shows you are NO man, but then when has any troll ever been a real man.
I already stated it was side purse money for the two LD holes. No trophies were given. It was a once a month tournament we had at the company I use to work for.
Lololol, you are deranged. No one believes a single word you type, no one believes you have ever killed any animals. Let alone slayed one single elk. You commie closet democrat! Lol

No, you absolutely made a mistake. There is no 'might'. You lied, you tried to crawfish, and still won't just admit you absolutely [bleep] up and let your fingers get ahead of your brain. That's mentally weak and disingenuous.........the marks of your phantom closet Democrat. There are enough folks here who would absolutely have jumped to your defense if I'd posted anything resembling what you accuse. That type of post goes not only my belief system, but my post history here. Your credibility here is laughable. You can accuse everyone of being trolls, closet democrat s, etc. but it won't change the fact you're either a liar or too dense to double check prior to throwing out accusation. You're more damnyankee than most northerners.

Didn't read the posts in this long tread before I started posting a bit back. Never read this elk guys posts before. But if he claims to hit a persimmon driver 300 yards it wasn't down the fairway. Now some courses I play the concrete/asphalt cart paths run down the edge separating the fairway from the rough. It is possible to catch the cart path with a couple big bounces and possibly end up back in the fairway.
Anyway, a dude would lose every other long drive contest till he did that, pay out 50 times then brag on the 1 he collected... funny.

Well, a few years back the pros, who like to do stuff for fun like anyone else had a long drive contest with a persimmon driver. I think it was Koepka who barely edged over 300, DJ and some of the others hit about 290, now that was with modern balls.

Finally, Some decent weather. First time to swing a club in about a month. Felt good to get with the guys. It’s a rough group. Better not have thin skin.

It's called being a guy.
Men are mean to each other and they don't mean it. Women are nice to each other and they don't mean it.
Went to the range today, obviously I need to work on my hand release timing but didn't have any super chit hits, fine for not swinging in about 6 months.
Only thing of note was a girl was next to me hitting, a newish player working on her game, she was wearing a yoga onesie I guess you would call it, never seen something like it before, it was interesting.

GITSUM!
Lost $16 in the captains game but won $6 on individuals. We only bet a small amount. No high rollers here
Ok, now I know why girls wear the yoga onesie, golf fashion is always fluid.
I admit being out of touch on who are the best players in golf even on the men's side, I watch such little TV. I usually watch a bit of the majors but everything was cancelled last year, heard they finally played the Masters but don't know. I have zero idea who the girl players are.
That girl would be fun to play golf with looks or not, she'd be laughing all the time, she's got a great laugh...
Be up on the first par 5 and say... my f'n golf swing is like my cock... short and to the left...
9 holes at the par three track today with the 7 year old.
I missed every green but did manage to hit 1 pond and at least 2 houses. Utter schit show.
Every tee shot went right. Some waaaaay right. I did manage a single glorious par on #8.
I clearly had my change in the wrong pocket today.
The kid was solid. Finished with the same ball he started with. Drained a couple nice putts. Need to check if First Tee has started back up. He certainly doesn't need to learn from me. Lol.

I golfed a fun little private course today. Destroyed my friend's spirit which made me ultra happy.
I really wanted to golf 18 more but after taking the girls to lunch I fell asleep on the couch. LOL

Jack carries a money clip which he won for hitting a 340 drive at the PGA driving contest WITH PERSIMMON AND BALATA. When he played in the ‘67.
Western Open at Beverly Cc in Chicago,, I had delivered phone messages to him on the driving range. After the third one, I asked him to “Really let one out with his driver”.He hit it out of the range onto the 18th fairway. It was well over 300 yards . George Bayer, Mike Souchak, and other long hitters couldn’t come within 30 yards of that balata ball.
In my opinion, Dustin was trying not to heel Jack’s driver and shatter it. Also, he was not accustomed to swinging a much heavier club and had to adjust his timing. Not only would the loft and length of Nicklaus driver be weaker, but also, the weight would be heavier than Johnson uses.

DJ was hitting Jack Nicholas's original Persimmon driver, and wasn't swinging as hard as he could, because he didn't want to chance breaking it.
But when do lying commies like you ever tell the truth........

Hey listen, I can understand how embarrassed you must be after admitting you can only hit a driver 250 yards, especially after a video is posted that validates your distance is the same as the "ladies".
I don't have to call you a puzzy. You've done a fantastic job already just by telling everyone what your driving distance is.....same as the ladies, you puzzy.
Well, a few years back the pros, who like to do stuff for fun like anyone else had a long drive contest with a persimmon driver. I think it was Koepka who barely edged over 300, DJ and some of the others hit about 290, now that was with modern balls.
I guess some guy's 300 yards is 251 rounded up.
Kent
Are you trying to insinuate that, in years past, Elky didn't have a higher clubhead speed than tour pros?!?!??
^^^^ goalie's Driving Distance Same as the LADIES, 250 yards...ROFLMAO ^^^^^

I'm thinking that the guy running his cock holster who talked smack, then wouldn't back it up (that's you Elky) just might wanna STFU, but you keep doing you.
Most humbling thing in golf for me was a skycaddie, thie gps thing that shows distances, well it also measures distances! In my "younger days" I would often win the long drive at tournaments (not "real" tournaments, just fun ones), played in college etc. and was considered a "long hitter". Now my "big" drives, according to GPS measuring are around 260-270 and unless I get hills or wind I don't touch 300.
I've played iwth people who swear they are 300+ yard drivers, funny thing, they don't out drive me. I played with one guy I had become sort of friends with and I hit some really good drives, he was telling people I had to have been driving 350. Yikes. I'll give ya a hint, if it's a 400 yard hole and you are sitting 150 from the green, you did NOT DRIVE 300.
Not calling BS on anyone who says they hit 300, it happens, just not often.
and the average men golfer hits about the same distance and the LPGA players, and that includes Paige S above, though she's not LPGA caliber (except in looks)

Just like as LRF became cheap and plentiful in hunting - a lot of 400 yard deer shots suddenly became 135...
FYI my little youngest tiny baby had her second lesson today and I think she did pretty good.
This is just a guess because I was hitting buckets in the mean time.
As a guy that taught golf lessons in a former life it is so much easier when the parent goes and does their own thing while the kid is having a lesson. Same thing applies to Ladies lessons, but those the guy always wanted to stick around and give pointers, and I just wanted them gone so I could actually explain something.

The guys got me the bad mother [bleep] ball marker after crashed ice. That's cool, because "stupid broken gimpy dude" was probably more accurate for at least a week after the race.

Bringing this thread back up, haven't read it in a while.
Who's still golfing?
Heading to Myrtle Beach next week to play. Hoping my back holds out, I'll take extra meds. Also Hope we get some good weather. Crazy cheap rates right now.
Anyone down SC way have any info on Covid mask restrictions or anything. From what I gather they will still be serving breakfast at the place I'm going but it won't be serve yourself buffet like last year.

I golfed 54 this week.
Going back home on Monday. Can’t speak to SC but the embassy suites breakfast is not what it once was. LOL
Fugking bag with a muffin and bagel. If you aske they’ll put a Jimmy Dean sausage biscuit to microwave in your room.

Lucky you, haven't golfed in a few weeks and that was indoors.
The place I'm going has breakfast, lunch, and 2 beers every day with your 18 rounds and your condo. Like I said it's really cheap this time of year, I'm sure after April it's double or more what it cost's now.
I want to get some seafood while there, hoping restaurants are open.

Bump this up again, jealous of those golfing a few times a week.
Crappy weather has us changing our plans to later on this month or early next to get down there. Looks like rain most of the week next week and the GF is down there now, carts on the path only and very wet.
I love Pebble Beach...golfed it in 2001 (305.00) with caddie. I stopped keeping score at the turn (about a 70) Jack always said that if he had only one round to play it would be at PB. I just googled the price for a round today and it was around 550.00.....ouch! IMO there is not a more beautiful golf course on the planet. I can't imagine what the property is worth today. Nice to see Spieth coming back.

He's book smart, but annoying. He overthinks, over calculates and is SLOW. He also whines alot trying to bend rules, like the red ant scenario where he wanted relief cause he was near an ant hill.
His calculations are ridiculous, but it does make him comfortable and confident on the shot, which is important, just do it faster man!
His out of the box thinking is interesting though, all clubs the same length to keep the same swing.
Yesterday was my first day of league play. I did not play great but I did OK and had a couple birdies. We only play nine holes.
Golfing with people I don't know really makes me golf better and I much prefer it to golfing with friends.
One of my birdies was on a dogleg par 4 out of a pretty deep bunker. I could see the top of the pin and that was it. Just enough spin to slow it down and as I climbed out onto the grass "plunk." Definitely won shot of the day.
Goalie sent me a new Driver and it continues to amaze. Only had to use it once yesterday but it was long, straight, and put me right in the middle of the fairway.
I somehow managed to fugk up my right side. Rib area. Not sure what I did but it is agonizing to swing right now so I'm only showing up on Saturdays.

I holed out for eagle on a par 4 from almost 200 out, but I think I shot over 100 that day, so it was like getting a hand job at prom......
Got one in December, first ever
Where do you play when you're up in MN?
If you're ever in the Ottertail area, try Thumper Pond.
😉
Goalie, if you ever want to laugh (or scream in frustration) at me, drive a little farther west and I'll golf Hawley with ya! Very nice course to make an ass of yourself.

I'm blessed with knowing my sport was hockey. I don't suck at golf, but I know I'll never get anywhere near as good as I was between the pipes.
It allows one to focus on the important things, like cigars and cart girl asses, and maintain serenity when shooting a 41/51....
😆
But, seriously, I have a lake place on Big Pine by Perham. I'm in for next summer!
I picked up on that as well. Nance chit himself when they switched from golf to the impeachment chit. He was giddy until he wasn't impeached. So transparent....

Finau seems like a nice guy from everything I’ve seen, but he is a choking dog so far in his career. He has one more win than I do on tour after living in the top ten every week over the last few years.
I make up ground by the 5th or 6th hole because my short game ain't bad and my opponents are usually laughing too hard at my suckiness to do well themselves.

Ummmm, is there a reason one cannot "focus on the important things, like cigars and cart girl asses" without having to pay to hit a ball around someone's yard?

Yes, there is. Without the golf, you can't crush your friends hopes and dreams. You can't taunt them as they stand over a 4-foot putt that will be a six-foot putt coming back if they miss.
While you guys in the great white north are talking about golfing (which is all I could do here at the moment except for inside) I'm finally going south Wednesday to Myrtle Beach for a week of (hopefully) sunny and mild temperatures. I can not wait, the weather here for the last three months has been brutal. Finally getting away.

Have fun. I spent many a 96 in Myrtle Beach when I was at Lejune.

I was in Charleston from 86 to late 88 and man that was some brutal temps! We were at sea a whole lot so didn't have to deal with it for all those years. It was crazy though, if you weren't on the beach with the breeze you were either inside in AC or in a vehicle with AC. I'd never live there in the summer again unless it was on the beach. I like it from around 60 to 75. Last year we were there the first week of Feb and it was PERFECT, between 60 and 70 every day.
Finally was warm enough to get out this weekend and this happened on the second hole. I wasn't even hitting a ball. Leaned on it as I bent down to clean the mud of my ball and bam. $70 and a trip to ping repair center This is the third shaft that has broken. Ping G25 TFC189 shaft. I am beginning to think graphite shafts have a life span.
I didn't go in there specifically looking for graphite. When I was fitted, I tried out multiple head heads and shaft combos. It always came back to this combination.
I only have an 85mph swing speed so the graphite helps me out.

One could also just go along and watch their friends not make that putt, then laugh at them, while just drinking the beer and ogling the cart girl, no?

Ouch. How old are your clubs?
Summer of 2013. They have a lot of rounds on them. I play mostly year round. As long as the snow is gone and it’s 35ish. The wind is a big determining factor though.
We have cart enclosures and propane heaters Thank goodness for fuel injection now days Cart sits in -0 for a week, turn the key and it fires right up.

There's a big difference.
Well, there is that. And it has immense value.
But for shear cheap entertainment value, riding around in a cart, ogling cart girls while drinking beer, and watching your buds make fools of themselves while spending all that money on greens fees, balls, clubs, golf togs and such wouldn't be a bad deal either.

I'm sure you play a whole lot more than me!
I bought new Pings last year with graphite shafts, if yours lasted since 2013 I should be good for at least 10 years I'd think.

I'm in Myrtle Beach, just finished my 4th 18 hole day, one more tomorrow then home Tuesday. It's not great weather here but rain free and between 45 and 70 for the last four days and sunny for most of them, good enough.

Reds. I'm by no means good and they try to keep you moving as fast as they can down here. If I were playing from the whites I'd no doubt be another 15 or so strokes. I'm very happy with the way I played today. I'm here with my GF and her daughter so we all just hit from the reds.
I'll be extremely happy if I can score under 100 this year sometime.
I prefer the GTI with the 6-speed stick shift. The DSG is quicker, but I enjoy the feeling of rowing the gears. Or are you talking about the other golf?

I have watched everyday. Since you can stream it on masters.com, productivity At the office took a hit Thursday and Friday. Watched it on the iPad yesterday while working in the garage.
Gonna be a nice day today, headed for a round then assume the position on the couch for the final round.
6 under on the back 9 was impressive, 4 under the last 4 holes and a big up and down on 18. That rain delay really helped him for whatever reason. If he holds on and wins it today he deserves it.
Can't stand Rose, never could... can't stand blathering Faldo the liberal chit, I wish Reed was leading just to curdle his tea, Faldo hates Reed.
The globalists would love for an international to win, I'm rooting for one of the americans at -7 to make a run for it.
Yep, he had a ton of chances and got really tentative putting after that 3 putt from 20 feet, not blaming him but you have to be aggressive to win it, leaving putts short won't do it.

I was cheering for Reed myself. I thought he looked strong in the first round.
Hideki probably takes it. He is a solid solid player several top five major finishes. He might hiccup a little but I suspect someone is going to have to shoot at least a 65 to even have a chance. Not many 65s to be had on the last day at Augusta, at least not from someone in contention.
I think the only chance for Hideki to lose is for the greens to get back to where they were prior to the rain. Which I suspect they'll be more receptive than that...
And yes, Nance was loving a non-white guy in the lead....
Zalatoris looks real good though. We will see if he can keep the nerves under control...
Jordan Spieth looks like he can win it to me. A few bad shots has really cost him.
I root for Jordan every time he plays but he's not quite there yet. Close, but I'd be very surprised if he gets back into contention. He's going to have to go 65 at the most to have a chance I suspect.
Spieth needed about two more putts to fall yesterday to have realistic chance. Not only does he need a 65, everyone above him would have to melt as well.

Hideki needs to melt and no one at -7 needs to shoot better than 67. Possible both but can Spieth shoot 65? I suspect no but there's a chance...
Would like to see him beat all those foreigners. Schauffele will fold like a lawn chair.
Don't think Spieth can quite pull it off, needed a few putts to drop yesterday, and used up a large quota of magic tricks. Would great if he could do it.

I'm on the road right now but brought my clubs. Buckets this morning, playing 18 (or more) on Tuesday.
Getting warmer now so the courses are thinning out in the afternoons.
Spieth needed about two more putts to fall yesterday to have realistic chance. Not only does he need a 65, everyone above him would have to melt as well.
Hideki needs to melt and no one at -7 needs to shoot better than 67. Possible both but can Spieth shoot 65? I suspect no but there's a chance...
I like Reed because he doesn't give two flying fugks what anybody thinks of him and it translates in his playing.
Right now the golf channel D-bags are explaining that the Japanese have an immense pride in their people and culture and that's why they'd love to see one of the countrymen win.
I'm thinking 'Uhhhh, yeah dumb fugks. That's how it's supposed to work.' LOL

We have those same feelings here and we become racist, white nationalist insurgents....
Haven't watched golf in over a year, sports in general... but where or who are the big names and the drama/interest makers, what kind of leaderboard was that?
Was today, especially listening the Nance and Faldo.
Kent
Agreed. Slobbering all over Heideki and the Asian golf tour,asian players, etc. Even had clips of the Masters broadcasts from Tokyo. Zal or Schofly coulda and probably shoulda won the Masters.
I really like Zal, he's moving up fast in the rankings, it was important for him to finish above a top 5 for the first time and he kept it together, didn't get crazy, means more tournys without having to have sponsor exemptions... huge for him.
What happened to Spieth? I remember him as a calm player, now he's in his own head living and dying on each shot, talking to himself, beating himself up. He's got the game, he just needs to get out of his own way. Reminds me of Mickelson, could go eagle or triple on any hole, never boring if close to the lead.

Spieth is coming back. He's had a super run the last month or so. Won last week ..

He started to suck and then not suck and now every time he almost wins he chokes the announcers cry and say something bad about Reed.

Spieth has always been that way. He just isn’t playing quite as well as he was when he was on his tear.
The Masters was won by the person that should have. Played better than the rest and carded a bogey free round 3 - first player to go bogey free up to that point in the tournament.
I'm not a fan of Fatrick Reed.
Big fan of Viktor Hovland and his Rnd 1 was a heck of a roller coaster. He and Zal are 2 guys that likely can and will end up being well above average on tour. So young and the talent level is high.
Good Masters - nice thing about WFH, I got to stream Thur/Fri and then watch Sat/Sun as much as I wanted.
Whoever said that "The Masters doesn't really begin until the second nine on Sunday" really knew his stuff. The previous three and a half rounds serve to get you to the tee on 10. By that time, you are exhausted if nothing else. Augusta is brutally steep - equivalent to a 15-story building from the clubhouse to the green on 12. It doesn't show well on TV, but every fairway is steep and slanted. Just walking the course is a challenge (how the caddies do it is beyond me.) And you do that climb/descend twice each round. Part of the reason pros take so long over a shot is just to get their heart rate and breathing back to nearly normal.
Finally, some guys who actually enjoy the Masters have chimed in.
HM was indeed the best player overall and deserved the win. Zalatoris looks like he's got a bright future. It's too bad what happened to Schauffele, but that's golf.

Been lucky to attend twice. Whatever you see as far as slopes on tv, double or triple it. Its a dang work out. They were mentioning...and I've never heard it mentioned before there...that some of the players tape up their shins to avoid shin splints.
I just wish Matsuyama had learned a little more english after 10 years on the pga tour.
matsyuama made two bad shots, and one bad decision. 15 laying up was the "safe" play with the lead he had, then he made a bad shot, not sure if he thinned it a bit or adrenalin, but that was way long. Recovered nice though.
16 was just a few feet to the right. Bring that approach 5 feet left and he was sitting near the hole.
18 he had a wedge and that was a bad shot to miss that far right an in the bunker. Other than that (and the tee shot on 1) he was solid all day.
biggest difference I see now vs 15 years ago is literally anybody can be at the top, and the "top players" are just as likely to not be in the running. In the days of Jack, Watson and even early Tiger. those guys were ALWAYS in the running if they didn't win.
Besides the new face, Will Zalatoris, I also really like two former Oklahoma State teammates Viktor Hovland and Matthew Wolff. Those will be my top three to watch going forward.
I have played golf my whole life, and competitively in High school. I've played on courses around the word while in the Navy. Now in retirement, it is my main activity to get some exercise. Love watching the Masters. Golf is the last bastion of traditional sport in America, that hasn't reached the kneeler stage.
I am still just as shocked that deflave likes golf as that he is married!
Hideki has been a very good player from a long time. Most people expected him to win a major at some point, so this really isn’t a surprise. And the Japanese angle that some are griping about is that he is the best current player in Japan and Japan is golf crazy. He usually has a massive Japanese press following at every major. He actually said that the Covid restrictions meant that the Japanese press was a little smaller and a little less crazy than usual and that probably helped him relax and focus a bit more. This dude has literally been carrying the weight of an entire nation on his shoulders in the way that only someone who is Japanese could have over the last decade.
The only way I would get an invite golfing is if I would shave my azz and walk backwards..... I told them thanks anyway... I will stick with fishin & huntin
The woman and I were golfing locally Friday and I saw something I've never seen before.
We end hole 9 and head in for our hot dog and drink and there's a dark blue Crown Vic with a spotlight attached on the drivers side, obvious in a prior life it was a police cruiser. Anyway four mid to late 20's Amish guys get out and they have 2 little young guys with them (maybe 5 or 6 years old). I hear him tell the driver be back for us a 5:30.
They went into the club house and rented clubs (even tiny ones for the kids) and they hit the links.
If the Amish can golf I don't see why Big Jim can't.
Anybody get out this weekend ? We had the first couples outing of the year. Two couple teams , scramble format. Saturday was Ladies tee off on the odd tees and men tee off from the even tees. We shot 3 under, no bogies Sunday same format except the tees were swapped. We shot 2 under. 4 birdies,2 bogies. Wound up in a 4way scorecard playoff for second in A flight. For comparison, the winners in the Championship flight shot 22 under.
Yesterday was really nice here and we probably would have golfed but the GF had her second shot for the Rona so we didn't make any plans (she got a little sick from the first). Yes I tried to talk her out of it but she did what she thought she should do (no, I haven't had mine and am not planning on it at this point).
Today was pretty crappy. Heading north middle of this week with nice weather projected. Plan on getting out at least three or four times in the next week and a half.
I golfed 18 the past two mornings and as I was watching my ever so perfect ball roll toward the green after my second shot on a par 5, I stopped and realized just how amazing of a golfer I have become in a very short amount of time.
So with that, I would like to share two things for those that are also new to the sport:
1.) If you can join a league, join a league. It elevates your play tremendously. I equate it to shooting in your backyard with friends vs going to a USPSA match once a week. They're not comparable, and the difference in your play will become glaring.
2.) When you go to the driving range, don't hit anything over 110yds. Bucket after bucket. Just keep them all under 110yds. And pick exactly where you want the ball to land. Put special emphasis on 50yds and closer. Doing this has made me a much more consistent golfer and somebody that people genuinely want on their team. Because they KNOW I will put that ball on the green once we are in range. The only time my hands see my Driver, is on the golf course.

This 100%
When I first started 1.5 years ago my focus was on driving. I used to try to drive a bucket of balls before we'd play and it helped. I'm not a big guy but my driving game is good now because of that, putting is what it is and it's all personal (I've always been a very good pool shot and to SEE the shot is what's most important to me). I golfed my best game yesterday and I told my GF that if I had my 70 to zero yard to the pin in tune I'd be right on.
That's my sticking point. 60 degree from 80 out with a full swing and I'm there. From 80 in I'm stuck and NEED a whole lot of practice.

Once again Flave is right, bongs be damned.
Agree with Travis & partly with you Skank.
My take is this;
Golf course management is the "Key" to consistency. You should not be leaving yourself in the red zone that you hate !
Always plan for a full swing to the green, with the club of the appropriate yardage !!
If you manage each hole on this basis, you will not be left in between clubs, as often.
It takes a lot of mental fitness to pick 1 or 2 clubs more or less, but it's how the pros play.
My aim is to be 160-110 yards out, for every holes approach. Obviously not par 3's.
As an example, on short, almost reachable par 4's, I might hit 5 iron off the tee & say a 7 iron into the green, rather than 3 wood & be left 40 yards short.
1. Never full swing wedges. Ever. 2 Amateurs are better off hitting as much club as possible off tees. Very few golfers are as long as they think they are. Drivers have the largest sweetspot and the greatest room for error. 3. Percentages of up and downs are better even from rough nearer to the greens than they are from fairway approaches 150y and out. 4. Nothing impacts score as much as the prevention of three putting. Lag putts are critical. Get the ball close!

The whole though process is wrong !
Well, maybe #4 is partially correct.
The longer the shaft & the "steeper" the club face, the less margin for error.
It is great to know your yardages with every club, especially your wedges and short irons. Wedges need to be used consistantly at a swing LESS THAN 100% of full. What you may want to call "full" with a wedge (Pelz or Utley methods) are not equal to full with long and mid irons. That could be the difference in our definitions.
If you take the time to look at statistics gathered from amateur golfers from companies like Arccos and the like it is sound data. Teaching Pro's know it and will share it.
I can be consistant in distance for thirds or quarters of swings as well. We are discussing "full" swings here. Nobody should give a "full" swing with wedges with any similarity to a "full" swing with a long or mid iron.

Yes, see my above reply.
Even with driver, my "full swing" is not 100% of what I can actually swing it,
My full swing, is "the" swing I can control the club best with.
Golf is a funny game, pretty much all the recent advice in here is both contradictory and right. Depending on your game. Yes, some will benefit most from hitting driver after driver on the range, some will benefit most from wedge after wedge.
If you, for your game, really wants to know how to improve you first have to know where you're losing shots. It's really pretty simple to start, on each hole, record the following: - Fairway hit (in "no" then did you miss left/right) - Green hit in regulation (for bonus points record length of shot in and distance from pin/center of green) - # of putts on the hole - Chip? Did you get up/down
Start there, tells you where you are losing shots, if you aren't hitting greens, why is that? Missing fairways or distance control or direction control? To many putts? When you miss greens, how often do you get up/down

I mark down +100, -100, and putt.
Tally that up when you’re done and it reveals much.

Could you clarify what you mean by what I highlighted above, please ?
I always record fairways hit, greens in regulation, ups & downs & total putts.
Pros miss 40% of greens and fairways on average. Sometimes it is much higher at tougher tracks. Pros are only 50/50 at 8' putting. Pros hit bad shots. They simply do everything humanly possible NOT to hit two in a row.
There is much to be learned about one's individual game by tracking their stats in a detailed manner. Do it long enough, and you don't even have to write them down! Hit 14/18 fairways? What were the 4 misses? Playable? OB? Lost? Wet? There are good misses and bad ones! GIR are nice, but knowing your misses to the green were of the correct distance (pin high) is critical to knowing your yardages with club selection and course management. Making fewer three putts makes the biggest and quickest difference on the card. Then eliminating penalty strokes. Those are two major hurdles.
Golf is a continual process. Accepting results and managing expectations are key.
The greatest ball striker of all time said that he hit a shot exactly as he intended about twice a round. He said that you should always play one more club length than what you thought the shot required because odds are much better you’ll mishit it and lose a bit distance than pure it.
I’ve found that to be sound advice and if it was good enough for him, it’s good for all the mere mortals who have followed him.

What is your (collective) definition of a good putt? That's important!
Any two putts that result in the ball going into the cup.
A wise man told me a good putt is one that starts out on your intended line and goes the distance you wanted it to carrying the correct speed. Too many people just answer with "a putt that goes in the hole." Bad putts sometimes fall. Nothing is learned from them and they do not reflect a correct technique was being used. Good putts can and often miss, but they make that two putt goal attainable!
If we expect every putt to fall, there will be a great disappointment that is hard to overcome. Agony!

Things have changed in the 70 or so years since that was said. Clubs are more forgiving, less distance lost for a modest mishit. I'll opine that "one more club than you think" is bad advice today. There are exceptions, but on most tough courses (or greens), up and down from short is easier than from long. This assumes one actually knows how far one hits it on a regular basis, some folks are naturally optimistic.

Statistics prove otherwise. Get with your PGA Teaching Professional. They will show you.
You say that like I haven't taken lessons.
You are wrong.
I have no idea of your experience or coaching. I assumed you have a coach. The statistics I refer to are those gathered by modern technology such as use of Trackman or the Arccos system. Many teaching pros are using it to great success with their students. It quickly identifies strengths and weaknesses, and gives feedback for equipment needs.
I'm not exactly sure where you have the opinion I am "wrong." If it is with the statement I made about never making "full swings" with wedges, well, I stand by it.

There's a reason most single-digit and lower index golfers have multiple wedges.
It's not because they don't have full-swing distances dialed in.
I do know why. I am a single digit, but unfortunately moving upwards. I have a complete selection of wedges, various bounce and lofts, and I usually carry four inclusive of the AP2 PW. Not a one of them gets a "full swing" regardless of lie or conditions.

Strengthening lofts has made the greatest difference in distance gains in newer equipment (irons specifically). So in actuality, club manufacturers have done just that for most golfers so they don't have to.
the other side to "one more rather than one less" comes with two other sides: first there's USUALLY more trouble short, and your are more likely to slightly miss hit and loose 3-5 yards than hit it perfect to the longer side of the range.

I was referring to the distance of a pure shot verses a modest mishit, not how far a particular iron goes.

DVNV, I understand your point. But statistical fact reveals most amateur golfers overestimate their distance ability with each club even when they do hit it pure. Therefore, the recommendation of up-clubbing as the data shows a higher percentages of misses are short. And hazard trouble is usually found up front. For some players it is simple vanity, club number to yardage. And the manufacturers have played games with that bigtime.
The fact remains that (what Flave said and I agree with him) inside of 110 or so yards you have to know how to hit the ball and with what club (full swing or not) to put it where it needs to be.
That's the bottom line and I'm sure different people have different methods. I know when I hit the range next week I'll be working on the short game and pitching. I actually bought a game for pitching that I will be playing with this summer hoping to improve my game.

You are painting with an ignorant brush.
Uh...no, Hogan’s worst shot in an average round was better than 99 percent of your best. And the advice remains sound.
It's a myth that you will hit more greens at full club distances. Or consistently hit a 6 through 9 +5/-5, that would be 15ft and under putts all day long on par 3s and 4s... not happening.
People feel they hit better shots 150 out, because it's all physical and not much mental and it's one swing, they don't actually get on the green as much as they think but it was the right distance wrong direction, right direction wrong distance, felt good but came up short, misclubbed, caught it just fat or thin... and still have a chip to get on.
Problem with a 50 yard shot is it's mostly mental, big old green up there and they should get it really close to the hole. All kinds of weird swings... skip, block, flop, chop, 45 degree hip turn, toe point, straight arm, wrist cock... not considering front pin, middle pin, back pin each 1/3rd of the holes.
If you are happy hitting anywhere on the green and going for the fat part of the green at 150, then do it at 50 and break the mental chains. Easy regular swing, slow for the fat part of the green, gets it up in the air and moving forward. If you are not forcing a shot guaranteed you will be on the green more times a 50 than 100.

The fact remains that (what Flave said and I agree with him) inside of 110 or so yards you have to know how to hit the ball and with what club (full swing or not) to put it where it needs to be.
That's the bottom line and I'm sure different people have different methods. I know when I hit the range next week I'll be working on the short game and pitching. I actually bought a game for pitching that I will be playing with this summer hoping to improve my game.

Short game is everything.
The whole game matters.
If you can't get off the tee without taking penalties, your score won't ever be good no matter if you have an amazing short game.
If your approaches are long irons because you're short off the tee, same.
Now, I did putt into the ocean once in Hawaii, but, as a general rule, it's not easy to take penalty strokes on the green. Three putting sucks, but three off the tee is worse.
Here’s a little humbler game. Drop the ball at 150 on par 4’s, 100 on par 5’s, play the par 3’s. Give yourself all the drives and second shots on the 5’s.

Interesting stuff......
Great game for showing if you're weak from there in. Doesn't show if you're weak getting to that point. If you shoot par, 1/2 your shots on average are on/at the green so it is key, but if it takes you twice as many to get there as it should, a great short game won't save you.

Yup.
Drive for show, putt for dough only applies to people who get off the tee, in play, without penalties.
A stroke is a stroke, and you don't take stroke+distance penalties on the putting green
The main difference nowadays in the game than when I started playing g 30 years ago is that the driver is sometimes the easiest club in the bag to hit. Technology has done amazing things for the driver.
Had a buddy fly in for a fundraiser event at my daughter's school a week ago. We included her on the team and had a blast. Did not win but we all golfed pretty well and the course we played was beautiful.
Ended up playing five rounds in five days on four courses and I have to admit that high 80's have become pretty easy for me to achieve. My new goal is to break into the 70's.
I bought a used Hybrid 6 that has really helped me on the 140-145yd range. I hit that sumbitch straight as an arrow.

I couldn't agree more.
That driver you sent me has really, really, upped my game. I had a big dog leg right last week and I did something I'd only seen on TV. I launched that sumbitch from the tee box over the trees and right into the middle of the fairway about 125yds from the green.
Straight tee shots with either my driver or 3 wood have been turning double bogeys into single bogeys and single bogeys into pars. Adds up quick.
Walk vs Ride depends on whom I'm with. Me and the GF or me and the brother - we walk. Others involved. Ride.
I may have said it elsewhere but I had a sweet set of clones from Pinemeadow about 15 years ago. Sold to a friend. Out of golf. Back into golf recently. Rented, bought another set of Giga golf last year. Played 1 round on them.
Not nearly as good as the name brand I rented or the old Pinemeadow's. AT ALL.
So was looking for a new set - may as well spend the $$ and go name brand. Thinking Callaway irons (Big Bertha) and Ping woods. I'm keeping my Betti as a putter.
Personal preference. Most people who walk are faster than people in carts anyway, so it really doesn’t matter.
Sure they are.
Slowest fuuckers in our league ride.
Slow golfers are gonna play slow no matter what. Old, feeble, slow walkers are gonna be glacial trying to walk a golf course. And some courses just are not set up to walk, either because of massive elevation changes or long distances between tee boxes.
I walk a lot, but there's a few courses where it's not feasible to keep up walking despite being fit, so I don't. I always walk at league, and nobody is waiting on me.

Our league doesn’t allow the option.
It’s ride or don’t play. I’d say the oldest guy there is mid 40’s.
I’m sure you’re the best player out there JoeBlob.
And more than willing to tell everyone.
No, not at all. I play to about a 7 but I prefer to call it a 12. As for bragging, I’ll leave that to you. In golf, your play really isn’t worth mentioning unless you’re good enough to make a living at it. And your average scratch golfer could play mini-tour events for a hundred years and not make a dime.

This is the funniest funniest fugking schit I’ve read in a long time.
Some people are just really slow golfers, if you can call them a golfer. I'm trying to get back into playing golf after taking a 35 year break. Needless to say it's been a humbling experience.

I played a lot of golf when working. The country club bordered our complex. The company paid dues and fees! Sold lots of plywood on the golf course! Made some great deals on equipment for the plant also! Lucky I never got the golf bug! It was nice when working because I got paid to play! Haven't touched my clubs in the seven years I've been retired! To many other intrests! Good to see you found something you like! Beats the hell out of staying home!

Yeah I truly love it.
I’m glad I didn’t take it up anywhere else because I think playing seasonally would drive me nuts.

I had to work in Adelaide,Australia and had the weekend off. I had planned to play if time allowed so I brought everything except clubs. Little did I think about my golf shoes alarming the customs People . That cost me an hour and a missed flight. Anyway, I ubered to the Adelaide golf course Saturday morning. Cart rental was going to pretty pricey so I decided to walk. Holy crap, the course wasn’t overly long but the distance between holes was a jaunt. The next to them last hole had a huge elevation change uphill. I thought I was gonna die when I was done. Between the air force and my travel for work, I have been lucky to play in many states and countries.

If you actually care about how well you're golfing, you're doing it wrong.
I think you can care and still have fun. I am competitive and there isn’t anything better than winning $1 off of your buddies. Bragging rights for the week. The text chain through the week gets pretty funny from time to time.

Top three courses:
GO!
This is a hard question. I have played so many places and probably forgot more than a few. Myrtle beach is a must. Play two different courses a day for a week
If I have to name three that stand out
Indian canyon, Spokane,wa Bear Trace, Crossville, Tn Point royal, Branson, Mo
Pebble Beach Southern Hills Mystic Creek Golf Club in El Dorado, Arkansas
I’d throw Spyglass in there too but I already named Pebble and Spyglass just didn’t seem that different from lots of other courses I had played except for that little stretch right down by the ocean.

That’s my view.
If you don’t care, why golf?
I do it as fun time with the guys. I'll never be anywhere near as good at golf as I was at hockey, so I just enjoy the game, enjoy the good shots, and laugh at the bad shots and missed 3-footers....
If you actually care about how well you're golfing, you're doing it wrong.
I worry about one thing on the course, and only one thing: keeping my cigar lit.
You probably say that because you’re at a point that you don’t embarrass yourself any more. So you enjoy the day.
I have my moments, but I can get around a course playing with single digit index guys and not ruin the round.
You can be bad or you can be slow, but you can’t be bad and slow. Some nice person (and I really mean that) told me early on that you have no reason to be embarrassed as long as you can keep up. Golf is hard. Everyone knows that. The single digit guy is as mad about missing the green by ten feet as you are about your shanked worm burner. As long as you can keep up, most people won’t even notice how bad your playing. They’re paying more attention to their own games.
Nothing, I repeat, nothing, ruins golf like "having a little something riding on it".
BS, I enjoy making wagers on any and everything while golfing. I think it helps me focus on the shot and I thrive on the competition.
We make stupid side bets all through the game. Dollar here dollar there. On the OB holes you are liable to hear something about not going out of bounds or on a short putt you tell them good luck It’s the silly stuff like that makes it fun but if your gonna dish it, you had better be able to take it.
I'm not sure where it ranks as a course but I know people that travel far to golf Bully Pulpit in Medora, ND. The scenery alone (ND Badlands) would be worth the trip. There is quite a bit of other stuff to do while your there as well.

Lots of great courses in Australia.
Hope you got to visit the Barossa Valley, while in Sth Australia, some of the very best wine country, in the world !
They mostly walk in places like Australia and Scotland and they are expected to complete a round in no more than three and a half hours. In some places, going longer than that will get you escorted off the course.

We didn’t invent the wheel but we damn sure invented the muscle car.
Amanda Balionis - PGA Golf Reporterette - see her on ESPN's coverage of the final round of the PGA Championship tomorrow - Lefty is leading by 1 over Koepka.
Does anyone know why the players are using range finders and grounding clubs in the sand hazards ?
SUCK IT TIGER !!!
LOL
They said the whole course is basically sand so there are no sand traps in the traditional sense. I thought I heard them say the range finders were allowed to speed up play. Don’t quote me on that one…
Damn - took me about ten minutes to realize she's blond..
That said, that PGA tournament yesterday was one of the most riveting matches I've ever seen.. What a chit course - yet Phil overall was a master of the game and came out on top.. One month shy of 52 - and he wins a major.. Very impressive..
And did everyone see that CROWD??? Yowza! Musta been 10,000+++ people there and he nearly got trampled gettin' to the 18th green!
He played quite a bit of the game from the rough too, tough course and brutal wind. I watched most of yesterdays round and I hate spending that much time in front of the tube! What a raucous bunch there at the end! No fun was had that day!
Anybody who has paid attention to the career of Phil Mickleson did not rest easy until he put that last shot on the green. He would have the career grand slam already had he not blown a two shot lead on the last hole of a US Open. FIGJAM pulled it out and now has his own place in golf history. If he has a good week putting, he is still good enough to contend and win anytime he tees it up.
I tune in today to watch the Oklahoma State Cowgirls take on the Ole Miss Runnin' Rebs in the women's NCAA Championship match. With all the social media keeping a close eye on the chauvinist white males, I just saw the Ole Miss asst coach crab a handful of tittie belonging to the nicely endowed Kennedy Swan, one of the five Ole Miss players.
Kennedy Swan - Sr. Ole Miss
Zack Byrd - Ole Miss asst. women's golf coach
The Ole Miss coach was holding the flag, and standing several feet behind and to the right of Swan as she lined up a 12 footer for an eagle. As she putted, the coach began walking behind her to watch the line of the put and when it went in, Swan reached down to pick her ball out of the cup, and as she stepped back, she bumped into the Ole Miss coach's chest with her backside. He then grabbed her high around her torso, with his right arm, as if he was trying to keep her from falling (which she was not) and then grabbed the outside half of her right boob, and copped a good squeeze, before releasing her. The camera gave a close up clear shot of the Faux Pas.
Will be curious to see if the social media attacks him.
Can a player really be said to lead wire-to-wire unless he is the first to tee off, is the first to get a birdie, never gives up the lead, and is the last to hole out? (Just trying to cause trouble.)
The Boys are playing the Straights this week for the Ryder Cup. I've played that course a few times. If the wind comes up, she's going to have some bite. I played there once in a 40 knot south wind roaring up Lake Michigan. We played the middle tees. With the wind howling at my back I actually drove 13. 360 yards, downwind, downhill, with a power fade...and 3 putted. Bruh. Coming back into the wind on par 3 17, which is like 192 yards, I took driver, twice. Ballooned both into the drink. Couldn't even make half the distance I did on 13. Ended up taking a drop. Made 7. Popped into triple digits for the round. Nevertheless, It's a great course.
goalie, props to a guy who's still playing in the fall. No Havershams to slow you down..."that's a peach, Hon", clean cut on the 'gar, and clear skies. Can't ask for better.
Whistling Straights is a great course to play once or twice if you're able just to have played it. The average (or worse) guy really doesn't have any business being out there - and when the wind gets bad forget about it. I say this as an incredibly average golfer.
And I imagine you're one of those soy boys who has to have the latest metal driver (CHEAT STICK), because you just simply aren't man enough to swing a persimmon fast enough to roll it out over 300 off the drive.
How's that 13 degree puzzy driver working out for you, to help you get the ball airborne, so you hopefully get your 225 yard monster drive from the lady's box close enough for an approach in reg?
I'm a legit 6 handicap with a PGA card to prove it, and I can't drive it 300 yds down the middle of a flat fairway. I've driven the ball over 300 yards many times, but downhill or helping wind...once a asphalt cart path helped me substantially lol

Oh, we know.
Elky, on the other hand......
Well, I sadly must admit to using metal woods and cavity back irons...I must be a puzzy lol
I didn't realize it was his first PGA win, he always seemed to be vying for a major win and coming just short, figured he had won regular tour events before. Good for him, he's a player for sure.
Winter golf has arrived. 41* and 20mph south wind this morning. It was a little chilly on the front nine.
On the positive side, my new irons are supposed to be delivered sometime tomorrow.
Fed ex home delivery is much like waiting on the cable guy and they require a signature. My luck is I will miss them no matter how hard I try to be home.
Picked up golfing in 1991 while stationed in Berlin Germany. Friend of mine asked me if I ever golfed and I was like, grown men chasing a little white ball around for half the day? No thank you! Over the next couple weeks He kept pressing me and asked just to go to the driving range with him. I didn't know anything about golf so I thought we were going to get one of them little buggies and drive around making fun of the idiots out the chasing that little white ball, so I said hells yeah.
We get there and I found out the driving range was where you stand in one spot and whack the fuçk out of the ball. I'm like ok sure.
So there I was, standing there looking down at the little white ball sitting on some soft rubber tube thingy. All around me people are whacking away and balls are flying. Im thinking to myself that I'm going to hit this ball and it's going to go straight out about 300 to 400 yards. I swung at that ball and the instant the club hit the little m'fer I was well and truly hooked. The ball made a hard right slice, went about 30 ft in about a 85° angle. After that and me being a perfectionist I devoted ever spare minute I had from then on golfing. I had a 2 handicap by the time I left Berlin in 1993. Golfed as often as I could up until 2002 when I broke my back and haven't been able to golf since.

I think golf would be much more interesting if they allowed heckling and trash talking from the crowd like they do at a baseball game. Pro golfers are way too uptight.

I went to the LIV Championship in Trump Doral last Sunday.
Was a lot of fun. If anyone finds one nearby I’d recommend.
I’ve been watching them since the Boston event. The teams makes it really interesting and gives more viewing time for more than just the top 10 (or whatever) players. The shotgun start makes it a little difficult to follow but not a big deal. Everyone at the events, including the players look like they’re having a good time. PGA events are too serious to be fun….
I watched some the Saudi event, course was empty of spectators except for around 18 green. What the hell? It’s their league, aren’t they allowed to have fun? Never mind, it’s Saudi Arabia…

I sure miss whacking that damnable ball........
That sucks about your back…. I’ve had lower back surgery and 3 vertebrae fused in my neck but I’m still able to play. Been playing the stupid game for 27 years.
I had back surgery in 2003. I played my first game this last July since 2002. I did crappy. But I now have a little putting green in my basement. I can't drive worth a dam, but I would like to be the guy who can be the master putter.
I'm pissed, I have analog....an antenna on the gable and did not get the open coverage! I like Fowler, and would really like to see him and his beautiful wife have reason to celebrate tonight! They are both a class act, and I detest Rory and his self righteous BS!

Schauffele schit the bed too. Clark is going balls to the wall, but Scheffler will be tough to beat if his putting doesn't kill him. I'd rather see Fowler or a miracle round from Hovland.

A Fowler win would be great.
But I don’t see it happening.
I think Rory will come apart today.
Have you ever noticed Rory's walk when he is on a roll? Makes me sick! Kind of like a fake presidential swagger!
I can't blame the leaders for the gripe about the late tee times! That is not easy to stay loose all day like that. Of course, if I could cuddle all day with Alison Stokke and then hit the links , it would not be a bad thing!

Sports and the east coast are a tough mix if you wake up early. Lol
Good golf though. Looking forward to the final round.
Of the players right now I like Koepka best, that said I want Fowler to win a major even if Koepka was up there. My least favorite player is Raum. This course has a strange setup for a major, I don't blame any of the players for saying so.
I played PGA West 3 times from the tips when I was a solid 12... third time I broke 100 with a 98 and was proud of myself. Those guys play a different game.
The course itself , from what I read today is not conducive to a lot of spectators and LACC may have purchased a whole block of tickets . Evidently, some of the players were not used to the quieter smaller crowds.
