I understand the draw of nice cars - but I'm really glad I never gave a hoot really.

They are expensive, they depreciate instantly and I'd rather spend the money elsewhere... like on IRA's, home improvements, extra mortgage payments, tickets to Hawaii, and of course, Golf.

If a car can reliably get me and my family from point A to point B, I'm satisfied.

What's in my bag:
Cleveland Hibore XLS Monster Driver
TourEdge Exotics 2,3,4 hybrid irons
Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW
Assorted wedges, Ping Scottsdale Anser

1997 Dodge Ram 1500 (just bought my first house, and I need to carry stuff to work on it).
2004 Yamaha FZ6 (ok not a car, but it is my favorite vehicle , and the real reason I bought my Ram)
2005 Nissan Altima (gf's car mostly, I only take it on weekends when I don't want to spend money on gas, and she is at the stable or work).

REALLY want to buy something else, but until the gf finishes her degree and gets a Real Job (TM), the chance of that is pretty slim.

2002 Renault Clio 1.2...... My first car... driving test on may 12th :D

Good luck.

Mine are a Vauxhall Astra and Vauxhall Corsa. Fine for pootling about the countryside - the golf course is only 5 minutes away. What more does a man need? Once upon a time...Renault 21 Turbo (best car I ever had - 150mph, blew off Sierra Cosworths, ticked over at 70mph and gave over 40mpg. Amazing) Sierra Cosworth (exciting but everyone wanted to race you and the ride as so firm it shifted your teeth fillings. Got tired of it. Some little bugger stole it and burned it out). Peugeot 405 SRi or somesuch. Nice, but not enough headroom. Citroen XM - the last of the great eccentrics. Only car my mother in law wasn't sick in. Well, not very. Mini 1275GT - started with 1275cc and 55bhp - ended up with 1380cc and 125-130bhp. Cracking car - held its class lap record at Castle Combe racetrack for years. Recently drove a Porsche Carrera (yeuch), Ferrari 360 (I think it was), a Mitsubishi Evo VIII and a Lotus Elise, all on the same day! (Press launch of a new industrial system. They had to do something to get us there). The Evo was the only car I've ever driven that I thought was essentially too good for me, that I'd need quite a lot of practice before I could get anything like the best out of it. The Lotus was absolutely fan-bloody-tastic; cornered on rails, accelerated like being fired out of a gun. Didn't have the top speed of the Evo, Ferrari or Porsche and no room for golf clubs. But great, really fantastic fun.

But the really important question is can it get you from point B back to point A?

a scion xA, i've asked at a local golf course since my car is the same size as a golf cart if i could drive it around the course and they said no

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

    • I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.   
    • Day 115 12-5 Skills work tonight. Mostly just trying to be more aware of the shaft and where it's at. Hit foam golf balls. 
    • Day 25 (5 Dec 25) - total rain day, worked on tempo and distance control.  
    • Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
