You know what would be really cool, if you could train a dog to chase after errant shots and get your ball out of the woods or the water. Just a thought.

I hit into a green with deer on it one morning, and when my partner and I arrived at the green we could see the dew mark from my ball that rolled 12 feet to a stop, then was rolled another 4 feet by the deer. We could see prints where one walked up to my ball and shoved it around. Pretty crazy!

I hit a ball on the green and a deer picked it up in his mouth. It would have taken it but we started yelling at it and it dropped it and ran pretty funny.

On our course we have tons but really nothing to do about it. Our greenskeeper just tells us to go after them with the carts. It's really FUN!

There are turkeys and a few deer a running along the fairways of a golf course I play every now and then. But it is in a natrual park, so they want you treating them with respect. There are even several signs that say "wait until animals leave fairway before teeing off."

Well for that particular part I meant my home course back in Hampton. Drake really doesn't call any course home but Waveland is definitely the closest at 5 minutes away. I HATE that course personally. We walk all the time for golf and that course is the biggest challenge I know of. The only reason I might like it a little bit is because it is home to my 2nd hole in one last year.

Well trained dogs on the course is OK by me. I enjoy all he wildlife that can beseen on golf courses.

I was staying at Furnace Creek Ranch and played 9-holes the evening I arrived before it got dark. I was the first out the next morning to play the other 9. On the second hole I looked down the fairway and wondered why there were dogs were out there. It then hit me they were coyotes not dogs. We do not have this problem in Michigan.

My local course has a "Boogie". It is the resident cat. His favorate sleeping place is on the counter were you have to pay. He don't care if he's in the way. Most of the customer don't care either.

I haven't been out on Waveland yet. I usually stick down towards Norwalk, though I played Grandview a few weeks back for the first time. And I about hit a goose teeing off on 18, it came off of the pond by the par 3 and about flew into my ball.

At my local course I saw something pretty awesome. I was walking to the range to warmup, when I saw a guy teeoff with his dog right next to him. The dog would sit about 5 feet away while the owner hit. After he hit, the dog took off after the ball. When it got to the ball, it circled it until his owner got up there (owner was in a cart). After the owner got up to his ball, the dog would sit and wait for him to hit again. I'm assuming this would be incredibly helpful for wayward shots.

I'm looking to get a dog in the near future, and I'm thinking of training him or her to do something like this. Obviously it would take a long time, but it would def be worth it

Anybody ever take their doggie on the course?

We're going to a resort in Fallbrook next week-end and bringing the dogs and hiking is always a part of our stay.

I'm wondering how bad it would be if we stopped by the condo on our way to the back 9 and picked em up.

This course is particularly quiet and I doubt we'd run across many people. We could tether them to the cart if and when we encounter people

Am I crazy?

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod

      I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!
