  1. I've been using a push/pull cart from the beginning of my golf ''career''. I'm 27 , and started playing at 15 and i'm in good shape. Does that mean that i'm lazy or not strong enough to carry? Well...no. I don't really get how some people see push/pull carts as something that's only for people who have back problems or people who don't have enough endurance. A lot of guys have back problems , ok... but you don't have to have back problems to use one. Except for some older members , i'd say 90% of the members at my club push or pull. the others just ride.
  2. I went to the range a few times a year for 4-5 years , the last of those years i was getting more serious about golf. It was just for fun before that . I played a local 9 hole par 3 course a dozen times before finally playing my first 18. I shot 98 , which i'm still very proud of. I have been playing about 10-15 times a year since that , regularly shooting in the low 90's. This year , Working at a very nice ( and tough ! ) course has helped my game a lot. I'm now playing in the low 80's and hoping for more. I love playing golf for free !
  3. I keep the clear plastic enveloppe when I buy a glove . Just Fold the glove the same way it was when you bought it ,place it in the clear enveloppe , and keep it in there until your next round. I never had a crusty glove .
  4. Oh my...what a class act . Some people just don't know how to treat a course. He probably doesn't repair his divots in the fairways and his ball marks on the greens too... Reminds me of the guy wearing metal spikes ( on a course that doesn't allow them ) last week...judging by the marks he left on ALL the greens , he probably never lifts his feet off the ground to walk !
  5. Driver : I'd say about 5 ...I'm not a long hitter , about 250 , but i'm hitting about 75% of fairways this year. Has Always been the best part of my game Putting : 20... I used to be a 1056 , but i really practiced and got better fast. Still averaging 35 putts though... Full wedge : 15...could be better , could be worse . Chips: 10...close enough to have a chance to save...but sometimes leaves tough par putts. I'm good in the sand though ! Irons: 7...I'm hitting the ball well , and have good distance control with my irons , i'm confident with my mid/long irons.
  6. I was wondering about that too , The ''old '' bite was a good ball , but not durable enough.
  7. I hope Taylormade doesn't start a trend of making lofts stronger for irons .If that happens and other companies start doing the same , then i would like to have both the number and the loft on the club. You don't have to stamp the loft right besides the number , just stamp it on the hosel or the heel of the club , just put it anywhere , so we know we aren't being fooled.
  8. I've ben playing with my TM R580xd for 7 years now...After hitting some balls with a client's '09 burner , i realized i could gain 10 or so yards, so i'm looking for a new one...
  9. Weather forecast says we're getting 9 inches of snow on wednesday...It may sound weird to some of you...but i love snow...and i work at an indoor virtual golf facility / golf school so i still get to hit balls all day , and still go play hockey after work.
  10. An escape is a great little utility vehicle , but i was just pointing out how you were saying '' once again Ford is better '' , just because your Escape can take 10 bags when a 350Z can barely take one. You're comparing a utility vehicle with a sports car... I'm pretty sure a Nissan x-Terra or a Murano can take as many bags as an Escape , and that doesn't necessarily mean those 2 are better than a ford...
  11. I'm sure you could fit a bag in there , maybe you'll have to take out the longer clubs for it to fit... Is your Ford Escape a 300 hp sports coupe ? Can it do 0-60 in 5 seconds?
  12. I would say yes , that is a good buy. I use a 60 deg rac wedge myself , and i'm definitely happy about it. 65$ is a good deal too.
  13. 18th hole at Le Victorien , north of Montreal. As you can see by all the water on the fairway...this was right after the biggest storm of the year. My 2nd shot on the par 4 2nd at Inverness GC , in Bromont . 140y 9 iron. Crappy quality , but one of my best shots.
  14. That is a Great deal , thank you very much. I was kind of scared they wouldn't ship to Cananda but they do!
