HEy guys,
I had a question about golf elbow that I posted on the golflink site, but it was pretty inactive so i Googled golf forums and landed here. I'm not sure how this reputation thing works despite reading the threads, so I'll keep posting till i can :)

i play out of the san francisco bay area. Apparently I'm a 22.8, although i think that index was being very generous to me. I'm nowhere that close.

My dad was a golf pro in the country i was from, but i never took an interest in the game. But 8 years later, and 6000 miles away .... now i decide i like it. haha i didn't know pros charged so much :)

I'm looking forward to getting some tips on improving my fairly inconsistent game. But what a lovely game, though.

Welcome to the boards. The short story on reputation is that as long as you aren't a jerk, or at least you're helpful a lot more than you're a jerk, you should be fine, reputation-wise.

Thanks guys.

Fat: I've played all those places, but I'd have to say I've played poplar the most. MOstly cuz it's 500 yards from work and less than a mile from my house. Plus I love how they keep it so beautiful. I like Crystal but it kicks my heiny everytime!

What's your local haunt?

Thanks guys.

I have my best score to date at Poplar (81) - love the course for that!

I play Lake Chabot, Tilden, Boundary Oak, Alameda (moving there soon), Diablo Creek, Roddy Ranch, Lone Tree, Rancho Solano, Blue Rock, Franklin Canyon. I used to play Crystal a lot but my friend who I played with who lives around there got a membership to PGCC so he only plays there now. I get a free round every month or so, so I'm not complaining! Poplar's a lot of fun -- I have to get back down there.

Man those are a lot of courses I haven't tried except for Tilden and Franklin. I played tilden for the first time last week. Got an internet special for 55 bucks and lunch. It kicked my ass, but i'll definitely play there again. Awesome course.

I didn't like Franklin at all. The fairways were really hard like Crystal. It's the only thing that's not satisfying on that course. Mkes me feel like i'm playing on thin carpet. Hey hit me up when you're in the area. I almost never say no to golf. Elbow or no elbow :) Motley: Advil seems to be what everyone's suggesting. You know, with the chainsaw that puts me right at 14 clubs. Sweet!

+1 on franklin... I don't think I'll be playing that place again.

Roddy ranch has got to be the most underrated course in the bay area, and online tee-times can be had for 20-25 bucks for most times on the weekday. Lone tree is an awesome place to relax and play the 12 dollar twilight. Tilden is awesome, I wish I lived closer and it was a little cheaper, I always bring up tilden first when my buddies want to golf.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
