Besides working at the golf course, I also work for a real estate company in Beverly Hills in the mornings. After leaving this afternoon to make my commute to the course, I was driving down Olympic Blvd. and spotted this thing coming.




The thing rolled bye with one hell of a rumble!

On top of that I saw two Austin Martins. People have some serious money around those parts!

I've always wondered what my "rich car" would be: when I become obscenely rich, what kind of car would I buy?

Everyone in south Florida, for example, had Jaguars and Porsches. I'd have to go with an Aston Martin or something a little less popular. I don't want to be like everyone else.

Of course, whether I'd actually be able to make myself drive it anywhere is another story...

For my personal driving pleasure, I'd probably get a Lexus SC (two door hardtop convertible), but for having other people drive me around, the Maybach . *drool*

Saw one of those on the street a few months back.

Today saw a Lamborgini Murcielago (or however you spell it) and one of those massive new Rolls Royce beasts. As far as what car I'd drive if funds were unlimited, my list is larger than the day is long. Don't even get me started.

no doubt for me - 911 RS4 Turbo. "Only" $140K.
There was a show on the speedvision - ferrari, lamborghini, viper, amg and porsche. Viper was the fastest, ferrari had the best accel, but ONLY one car was able to make the oval track @140mph without slowing down in the turns. Guess which one ;)

Porsches are for girly men with small you-know-whats! Every wanker in south Florida has a freakin' Porsche. And plenty of women.

There are Porsche's and there is 911 R4 Turbo. If you talk about Boxters It's like comparing Dodge Breeze to a Viper

Incidentally, I meant that plenty of women have Porsches, not that girly men with small you-know-whats have plenty of women. Sorry. Grammar police sentenced me to 30 minutes reading the style manual of my choice.

If you like M5 you'd like this one better :

Very, very nice. I've been hoping that they're going to be coming into production with them in the US but news has been few and far between. Mercedes has been hoing the E55 all around, I've never seen so many in my life, hopefully bmw won't make the same production mistakes as mercedes.

So much Porsche hate there iacas! And speaking of Porsches I saw the sweetest setup yesterday driving to the course. Porsche Cayenne trailering his raced out 80's 911 coupe. He had a bunch of spare racing wheels and everything. Man that was nice!

M6 would be pretty sweet too!

I don't think we have to worry about that

I'm expecting the price tag of about 140K, that should limit them drastically. You can get a lot of different cars for that money... V10 is sweet. of course 500+ HP and 250+ mph aren't bad either

Getting coffee this morning. I came out and a Ferrari Enzo was parked right behind me. A gentleman about 10 to 20 years older than me got out. Then he scooted around the car and let a major smoke show out of the passenger side. I assume that was his daughter... or granddaughter... right? …. right? 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

With Ferrari money, I doubt it, especially if he opened the door for her to get out.

They're not that rare to spot by me, but there's also a dealership not too far from my house.

My comment was a little tongue and cheek. I'm sure it was NOT his Granddaughter.... maybe his Granddaughter's best friend???

They say money can't buy happiness. But it sure looks like you rent it.

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By DeadMan ·

      This is an interesting explanation from Mike Whan on why he wants this rollback:

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By Missouri Swede ·

      I've lost more than 4% (presumably due to age) over the last 3 years, so any change I would see would get attributed (by me) primarily due to age, unless I were to do a side-by-side comparison on the course. So maybe it adds a year or two to my "golf age". I would be very interested to see a list of currently conforming balls that conform to the new criteria. (edit: criterion.  It's only a single data point that's being changed, if I understand correctly.) Regarding quitting the game, I happened to notice fly fishing equipment while walking through Cabella's earlier this year, and the thought passed through my mind, "well whatever they end up doing, if it makes golf less fun, there are other hobbies I can take up and spend money on in retirement." I also note in the letter by Slumbers and Whan that they basically said that they're coming for our drivers next. Okay, that's an exaggeration; "expand our testing approach" and "explore possible additional options related to distance" is what they wrote. But yeah, they're coming for my driver next. In a way, yeah. But I've got a full set of TaylorMade irons in pretty good condition sitting unused in my garage, non-conforming to the groove rule. Maybe I'll keep a bunch of current balls and use those clubs to play out my years after 2030.  Be a complete non-conformist. It's not like I keep a handicap. Looks like Orvis is having a sale on fly fishing gear.

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By gbogey ·

      I'm thinking about it this way - 4% of 6300 is 250 yards. If I play a set of tees that are 250 yards longer than my norm, the course rating combined with slope usually goes up about a stroke, so my expectation is that it'll make the course a stroke harder. I'll be 65 by then, so it'll be an excuse to move forward. No big deal. It feels like this is similar to the square grooves issue - remember that one - big todo over very little.

      USGA/R&A Changes to the Equipment Standards?

      By saevel25 ·

      If you play the same tees (course length). Expect to hit one 1-2 clubs more into every green. Probably closer to two. You will lose about 8-10 off every driver hit. You will then lose about 4-6 yards off every full swing iron shot. So, about 12-16 yards of total distance loss on each hole.  If you hit 9 irons into a par 4, you will hit 8 or 7 iron. A long par 4 now, where you hit 5 irons, you may need to hit a hybrid or fairway wood. Those par 5's you use to barely reach in two, you now do not reach at all.   If you play a 6000 yard course, you may need to move to a 5700 yardage to play the course the same way, having the same irons into the greens.

      I haven't been here in several years, but I know that there are a lot of serious golfers here, so I thought this would be a good place to ask this question.  Forgive me if it's been asked before.   How will the rollback affect the average casual golfer who can on average hit his driver about 200 yards?   The reason I ask is because I am getting older, and I think if I was forced to give up distance because of this ball rollback, I might just quit playing.  And I think a lot of people would agree with me.
