Hey Guys,

Well to keep this short -> I'm a city kid, no one in my family plays golf... mainly because we all grew up in a blue colar working class community. I just started playing 2.5 years ago, I'm addicted and the only reason why I got to where I am today is because of the crap muni courses I learned on, never had a good lie, learned to putt on bad greens...

last week... my brothers godfather (not related to us) flew us down to Orlando Florida... he told us to make sure we brought out sticks... I was naturally excited, we get there and I'm expecting to play some nice tracks but nothing real big yah know... first round he doesn't tell me where we are playing, roll up... I look at the club sign... Isleworth! My brothers godfather is a member at Isleworth.... I almost cried, anyways first time there I shot an 81... and I was pretty happy with that because that track was tough...

next day, expecting hey we'll play Isleworth again, we roll past the exit... and I see a course in the distance, I didnt want to spoil the feeling and ask so I waited to see for my own eyes, Bay Hill!....

I feel like a million bucks now, having played the same course Tiger walked... just felt like sharing something that I will probably never experience again

      Determining Out of Bounds

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
