Hello to the board. Glad to be here.

I am a hopeless golf-a-holic who does not get the chance to play as often as I would like. I have been playing for 22 years now and have a handicap that hovers between 8-10. I don't get to play as often as I would like because of personal activities and my job. I am only a once a month golfer, down from approximately 100 rounds/year before I got married and had my kids. That's alright because some things are more important than a game (did I just say that? ).

I played a little college golf (way back in the day) during my last semester of college. Well, rather, I hacked a little college golf. I was #10 on a 10 man team, with no hope of becoming #9. I filled out the second team so that the college could field a second team. In return, the coach taught me the foundation that enables me to sneak a peak at par a round or two during the season.

I belong to several golf forums (under the same name) so I am sure some here may recognize me (probably won't admit that in public ).

Thanks for reading my blather. I look forward to contributing here at Sand Trap.

Best regards,

RD


100 rounds down to 12ish? You must have gone through the 18 step detox program for golf-aholics (12 just wasn't enough for golfers). Now you just need to get the wife and kids interested in golf to give you an excuse to play more. Just think of the great quality family time...

no kidding... 12 rounds, that's scary stuff. I have hovered between 50-65 the last couple years, and thankfully my wife enjoys it. Kids are comming soon (we hope), but I think I'll still need a solid 30-40 round fix.

Welcome aboard!

I'd rather be in Colorado. Atleast then I could get some use out of the snow. I too am addicted to golfahol. I'm currently in the 100+ rounds-a-year category...Can't imagine only 12 rounds a year, but then again, my kids aren't born yet.

    • I honestly think they were saying feet but it was in yards. The apex height was horrible, yeah. The rest was, from what I saw, pretty good. I agree it should be up on almost any shot they hit into the screen. Heck, I'd love to see it on the short shots around the green, but they don't have launch monitors over there, so… oh well. Go figure they're Full Swing LMs. It's funny they have like twelve of them going. It's not a good LM, but… Tiger's involved, so…
    • Some of the tee shot data they showed was wildly incorrect too, specifically apex height There were multiple drives that they claimed had apex heights of like 35 feet yet they still carried 300yds. I wonder if that was the apex height when it reached the screen, not the calculated apex height.  I do agree that more data and even being able to hear/see which clubs the players select would be nice. They could easily do it by having someone looking in the bag and pressing a button for whichever club is missing from the player's bag as they're walking up to hit.
    • I was hoping to see the data on all the shots. Not just carry and total distance, but all of the stuff you see on a simulator. It should be on the TV screen like you see relevant data for a football game. A couple of the approach shots they didn't even state the distance to the pin. I think that would probably be something they add as time goes on as they get feedback. I was surprised the camera didn't zoom in on wives and children, unless I missed it. I didn't watch the last 3 holes. I guess they weren't going for a family vibe. I will watch again, but with less anticipation. It was a Tuesday night and the weather sucks.
    • I wouldn't mind getting a Jupiter hat since I live down here, plus it's Tiger's team. I enjoyed how much faster it was, as well as the grass tees. I'm looking forward to Tiger's first match next week. Shame, it looks like the entire season's sold out. I live right down the road from it. Oh well. 
    • I'm wearing a Ballfrogs hat in my photo with Lou from the other day (and I wore it again today): This was the WORST the production and live show are going to be, and they got a lot of things right with only room to grow. I think it'll only get better (not wildly so, but incrementally). And it didn't help that it was a blowout, and yet… it was still pretty interesting. Singles was weirdly a little bit of a drag. I almost wonder if that's not a mid-season change.
