Although I will be leaving in June to move to Colorado I thought we could maybe set up a group or 2 and do a little sand trap get together. (Yes, I'm jealous of the SoCal guys) anyone in the area post here and maybe we can figure something out when the season starts.

while I won't disagree with some of what you have said, I will tell you that it is the exception not the rule.  I vacation in Northern Wisconsin quite a bit, and I meet just as many jerks from Wiscons

Sorry if its on your page, can't see it on the mobile version. So not too far. Have you played in Schaumburg/ Hoffman estates before?

Schaumburg Golf Course is pretty much my home course. I used to work in Schaumburg and player there 3-4x a week. Got a new job and a baby and I'm lucky to play 18 once a week...practice more than play these days.

Played it a handful of times and really enjoyed it. I've seen a few people on here from the area so hopefully they see this and chime in

i am interested, but far worse than everybody else who has posted on this page.  If you can handle that, I am in.  Never played Schaumburg golf course, but have played bridges of poplar creek a few times, tight short course, was in good shape this year.  Also enjoy Highland woods ALOT because you can play on friday afternoons for under $30 and it is pretty damn open and easy.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I'm in Evanston and also not as good as others who have posted but if it works out I'd love to get a round in with some fellow TST'ers.

Golf buddies is buddies for life! Schaumburg doesn't have to be where we play, was just seeing if people have played it. I've played poplar probably 20 times and its a good track I spend a lot of time practicing there. I'm down to play wherever. If we get enough people we can pick a spot that is convenient and reasonably priced. Hopefully mid march

That is not a problem at all. I don't have an official handicap I just track my rounds on yahoo. I think I finished the year around a 12. Been down to a 9 but up to a 19. It really depends and I can play above or below that on any given day. I'm sure I can say this for everybody, all skill levels are welcome

I'm in crystal lake. Schaumburg gc is definitely doable for me. Good track.

Sorry for multiple posts, but can't figure how to do multiple quotes on my phone. I grew up in Johnsburg IL so I am familiar to the crystal lake area. Was recently out at a bar called Dukes not too long ago in CL

Gosh, weird to see so many people from my hometown of Evanston haha! Too bad I'm still out in Bellingham WA for a while, but I'd suggest Thunderhawk and George Dunne as 2 great courses that are both around $50 during summer.  Wish I could join you guys!

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Went to a PING fitting day today. Going to be ordering a G430 Max 3w with a 75g x-stiff shaft at 5w length and a 3h. I forget what my fitter did with the shaft on that but she told me she’s going to email the club the specs of everything. The 3w combination we found pretty quickly. As for the hybrid, we tried a bunch of different head and shaft combinations for that distance with mixed results. Then she handed me the 3h and I took three swings with it and knew it was the one.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      Yeah, this isn't sandbagging. It's outright cheating. He should be banned.

      How Much Water do You Need to Drink?

      By billchao ·

      That’s quite a generalization. It’s clear that you don’t like water but there are plenty of us that drink it just fine. My daily intake is usually about 20oz of black coffee, 16oz of soda, 8oz of milk mixed into a protein shake, and anywhere between 30-60oz of water. It doesn’t even need to be cold and I kind of prefer it closer to room temperature than cold. I quite like the taste of tap water, with sole exception being the tap water at Magic Kingdom (it’s terrible). I can’t stand when people bring me tap water with a lemon wedge in it. I didn’t ask for lemon in my water.

      By billchao ·

      This is the part I don’t get. He’s not even kind of sandbagging, he’s blatantly doing it and submitting scores that are verified to be incorrect. How he’s not banned from competition is beyond me.

      One handed swing faster?

      By davidgolfman ·

      He's right in what he's saying.I also have done this experiment with a golf shaft swinging with one arm at a time.one arm at a time is for me very fast but both hands together are very slow ..I got my 17 year old son to do this experiment and he swung very fast with either hand and he swung very fast with both hands together..My conclusion up to now is ; I'm not using my wrists properly but I not a 100 percent sure just yet..I will keep trying to fathom this out .I'm a 12 handicap and my son is 3.9 at Westlancs..
