This is off topic but a man with any athletic ability does not start at 150 yards.

Hi I've unfortunately already come back to Europe. I won't be back until January. Thanks for the reply and enjoy your golf in Jupiter. If you have a chance to play Abacoa, do it. It was the best one I ended up playing.

Havent read the other replies yet, but I'm pretty sure a legitimate male scratch golfer has a chance to win on the LPGA Tour. The courses are so short for him + it's not as if a legitimate scratch golfer is a bad golfer. He should and would average under par from the ladies tees.

10th / -3

Yeah, it's crazy really. To think that even if you had Rory playing, he probably wouldn't win a spot with 100+ others capable of playing 65 or lower. He'd be more likely to miss the cut than be in the top four, that is. What a tough road it is into the PGA Tour. I hope these qualifiers do well at Honda. I think Siem and Ilonen are here for the WGC at Doral next week - Honda would have been a nice bonus.

I called the club and made sure spectators were welcome. What a great day I had. I followed Immelman's and Ilonen's group and was extremely impressed by the ball striking of both of them. Both ended up missing the cut comfortably, though, as 65 was the last score that made it to the playoff. I was also impressed by Marcel Siem and Tommy Gainey. What a powerful and unique swing Gainey has - maybe not the prettiest but I'd take his swing in a heartbeat. I recommend the Monday Qualifiers to everyone.

Has anyone here been to a Monday Qualifier? Since there's so many great players playing tomorrow, I'm definitely going. Mayakoo Country Club is a private course - can I just show up and expect to follow my favourite players, or is there something I should know? Thanks in advance.

Thanks again, guys. North Palm Beach I have played, it's one of my favourites along with Westchester, President CC, Atlantic National and Winston Trails. However, I'm looking for something even better. I've heard good things about Polo Trace and Abacoa, I think I need to give them a shot as well. Osprey Point I haven't heard of, maybe I'll try that as well. How about PGA Village? Has anyone played it? It's a bit further away but maybe worth the drive?

Sounds perfect, thanks.

Thanks, guys. Any suggestions what courses might be worth a phone call - within a 50 mile radius of West Palm Beach, for example?

I'm visiting West Palm Beach and struggling to find genuinely good golf courses. Is knowing a member the only way to play a private course around here? By googling, at least, it seems that the private courses are so much better than the public courses that it's not even funny anymore. I was told Florida is a paradise for golfers but I'm not so sure anymore.

Hi, if anyone's interested, I'm looking to sell three Adams Pro Mini Hybrids. I've played three rounds with them, so they're basically new. This is your chance to get three clubs for less than the price of one. I'd rather sell in person, but I'll ship the clubs if needed. I'm leaving Florida back to Europe in March and wouldn't want to take the clubs with me. The shaft is Aldila Tour Green in stiff flex, the lofts are 16, 20 and 23.

No, it's just that the 10-capper is lying, in denial or something similar. I just find it hilarious, as I said in my initial post. And I found it funny that you'd think posting a video where you tee up the ball and really go for it would suddenly make your weird 270y claim valid. A slow motion tells a lot more about a swing than a random video from a tough angle. I drive about the same as you or maybe a little less, 300y on a particularly good hit. My 5-wood would be in the 230y range as it would with most that have similar ball speeds to mine - that's why it sounds weird you're not carrying the ball more than Rory and Bubba with the driver - since you're already comfortably doing it with your 5-wood. Edit: and you're right, the point of this thread wasn't pointless banter but to tell everyone you hit your 5-wood 270y. Again, I participated because I find these threads funny.

Intrigued, I guess.

I think we'd rather see some stats, not a random video at full speed. Post a slow motion video from the face on view, it'll be easier to see the power in your swing from that. The videos we've seen so far don't indicate that you hit the 5-wood 260-270. The driver to 290-300 I just about believe, but the 5-wood definitely has WRX bonus to it. I find it hard to believe you carried the 5-wood we've seen more than 210 yards.
