The official golf thread

I made the mistake of walking 18 in some Footjoys out of the box, I bought my Son (I had not bought any for me at the time). My buddy mentioned trying a course I had never played before. Got there & I asked him where are the golf carts. He said "Oh I thought you knew this course is walking only". WTF!!!! By the 15th hole my feet were killing me.

 

Played this weekend & it was 76 degrees. Fantastic weather!

Playing in a tournament next weekend in Augusta, GA.

That is one impressive backyard!
On another note...since I hurt my back golfing in Kauai about six months ago I've gone from low to mid 80's to low to mid 90's. I feel like I'm starting all over....completely bummed while on the course...lost my sand wedge to the lake last weekend(it wasn't working).
Going to the range now.

 

Freddy Couples FTW!!! I really want to see him finish well

 

Did they really penalize this Chinese kid a stroke for slow play? Shame on you PGA.

 

Yeah he was already warned about slow play and that was the second time.

 

I wonder if theyd penalize Phil.
Didn't see it...heard about it in the radio.

 

From what ESPN said, and the Golf Channel it was legitimate. He took it like a pro. That kid is much more mature then 14. He still has a possibility of making the cut

 

Yeah, I hope so....it'd be a shame to miss it by 1 shot because of this.

 

He ended up making the cut. Youngest play in Master's history to make the cut.

 

That's awesome...looking forward to seeing what he does over the weekend.

 

I played the Georgia Club golf course last week for the first time. Amazing course! As nice as some of the courses the pros play on tv. I found a deal on golfnow.com for $30. This course is normally $65-$100. I have the golf bug bad & wish I could play several times a week. Where have other TW members been playing?

 

A great free website for finding your true USGA handicap is http://thegrint.com/


Mine is 22.7 and I count every shot, even the duffs & drops. You can't improve, unless you know your weak areas.

I was using 30+ year old Pings (Ping eye 2). Just bought a new set of Taylormade Rocketbladez a few days ago. Hitting the driving range tommorrow to try them out.


I've been struggling lately with my irons & chipping. My scores have gone up drastically. I had my irons lengthened by an inch when I was in my 20's. I think they are too long now with my new golf swing, I keep taking huge divots or catching my club about 2" into the ground. I figured I could either reshaft my current old clubs or get some new technology. New tech wins.

 

The new Rocketbladez are more amazing that I could have imagined. Every iron shot was straight & about 20-30yds longer than normal. I hit the driving range thursday to get a feel for the clubs. Friday played 18 & shot a 92(43 on the front 9). I was playing the best game I had ever had, until the 13th hole. My chipping fell apart from the 13th on. I probably would have shot in the mid 80's, if it would have hung on. I need to get a Rocketbladez A wedge & Sand wedge. My buddy kept using the P wedge & asking me to sell it to him. He was amazed at how well the clubs felt & performed.

If you are in the market for new irons, I say give these a try. I lucked up & found this set preowned (looks like they never were hit outside) at the PGA superstore & got them for half price of a new set.

 

Booooooo!

 

Booo?
