The official golf thread

anyone have a cobra s3

 

I golf, therefore I'm not here!

 

I think I'm going to play today, first time since state in high school. My goal is mid 70's but it might be bad

 

bump

 

My tee shot - tee would be to left of picture

 

very nice

 

I started when I was 11 and quit a year ago. (25) and havent swung a club since. I lived in Orlando and had memberships to a few places playing 3-4 times per week.

I went from a lucky-to-break-100 golfer to about a 10 handicap in a year by getting fanatical about my short game and playing small-ball . I almost never hit driver and always got laughed at by the guys I played with but man, from 140, I could hit a flea off a tick's ass with my 8-iron.

Playing that much got expensive and I could always look at the half a dozen shots that I screwed up in my round like a chunked chip or a missed 4-footer that held me back. I was mentally worse shooting 83s than when I was shooting 98s because I invested so much of my time into playing. As I played less and less, I shot worse due to the lack of practice. The cycle kept going and I kept hating playing more and more. I'd go out to play and get stuck behind 3 slow groups and just turn around and go back to my car and leave the course. One day I had enough and donated my
Taylor made Rossa putter, Callaway X-22 Irons and FT-i driver to the 1st tee charity at the course. Man were they surprised!


one of these days I might pick up the game again but it will be at a time in my life when I can play a couple times a week and really enjoy the game

 

cmack,

There is a free online golf game called World Golf Tour (www.wgt.com) that allows you to play St. Andrews virtually. Can you sign-up and play this course online, and then take some pictures to post here and rate the real vs the virtual course after you play?

 

I wear size 12's, what are you suggesting?

 

Any one got the titliest mb blades?

 

i play taylormade rac MB TP 4-PW, Taylormade superquad, callaway X-hot 4 wood, taylormade TP #3 hybrid, vokey spin milled wedges, and I have 6 scotty's. I use to have more but sold a few along the way. Using an older newport pro platinum that i just had re-finished at the cameron shop

 

I'm thinking about getting back into golf. Did the highschool golf team thing, but haven't played since then.

I need to go have my swing speed checked again, since I'm a bit of a different size since high school :x

Anyone have any suggestions for a mid level set of irons and woods that I can start playing on again? I've been looking into a set of callaway x-2x Iron's, but I'm not dead set on them if there's something better for the money. As far as drivers go, I'm a bit lost...

 

Okay, time to ask: Paula Creamer or Natalie Gulbis?

 

Paula Creamer

I just had a great golf weekend.

Friday night my new bride and I played in a club couples league tournament. This was her first ever golf competition. We won by 3 strokes with a +1 gross for the evening. I couldn't miss a putt. It was like the scene from Caddyshack. Even ones I did miss, they stopped close for easy tap ins.

Then I went out alone on Sunday and shot my best score of my life. A 4 over par 74 at the Corning Country Club!

What a weekend!!!

I play Cleveland CG7 stiffs and just bought a Ping G15 stiff 9 degree driver.

Life is good!

 

Creamer, hands down.

 

Got a job interview on friday at www.salmonarmgolf.com !!!

I finally found a golf thread!!!! I love golf and have been playin for about 7 years. Right now I am a 7 handicap and my brother and I play in the downeast amateur tour here in NC.

My current setup is Titleist 909D3 driver, Taylormade Burner TP 3wood, Taylormade TP Rescue, Ping S58 irons, Cleveland wedges, and a Scotty Cameron putter.

 

So who's waking up at 4am tomorrow to watch the open?
