HEy guys,
I had a question about golf elbow that I posted on the golflink site, but it was pretty inactive so i Googled golf forums and landed here. I'm not sure how this reputation thing works despite reading the threads, so I'll keep posting till i can :)

i play out of the san francisco bay area. Apparently I'm a 22.8, although i think that index was being very generous to me. I'm nowhere that close.

My dad was a golf pro in the country i was from, but i never took an interest in the game. But 8 years later, and 6000 miles away .... now i decide i like it. haha i didn't know pros charged so much :)

I'm looking forward to getting some tips on improving my fairly inconsistent game. But what a lovely game, though.

Cool, nice to meet you sir.

Welcome to the boards. The short story on reputation is that as long as you aren't a jerk, or at least you're helpful a lot more than you're a jerk, you should be fine, reputation-wise.

Welcome! Do you play at Poplar, Shoreline, and/or Mariner's Point? Crystal Springs, perhaps?

[YajR]

Thanks guys.

Fat: I've played all those places, but I'd have to say I've played poplar the most. MOstly cuz it's 500 yards from work and less than a mile from my house. Plus I love how they keep it so beautiful. I like Crystal but it kicks my heiny everytime!

What's your local haunt?

Thanks guys.

I have my best score to date at Poplar (81) - love the course for that!

I play Lake Chabot, Tilden, Boundary Oak, Alameda (moving there soon), Diablo Creek, Roddy Ranch, Lone Tree, Rancho Solano, Blue Rock, Franklin Canyon. I used to play Crystal a lot but my friend who I played with who lives around there got a membership to PGCC so he only plays there now. I get a free round every month or so, so I'm not complaining! Poplar's a lot of fun -- I have to get back down there.

Stay out of the woods, need a chainsaw?

j/k welcome to the sandtrap forums!

Take some advil for the elbow.

Man those are a lot of courses I haven't tried except for Tilden and Franklin. I played tilden for the first time last week. Got an internet special for 55 bucks and lunch. It kicked my ass, but i'll definitely play there again. Awesome course.

I didn't like Franklin at all. The fairways were really hard like Crystal. It's the only thing that's not satisfying on that course. Mkes me feel like i'm playing on thin carpet. Hey hit me up when you're in the area. I almost never say no to golf. Elbow or no elbow :) Motley: Advil seems to be what everyone's suggesting. You know, with the chainsaw that puts me right at 14 clubs. Sweet!

+1 on franklin... I don't think I'll be playing that place again.

Roddy ranch has got to be the most underrated course in the bay area, and online tee-times can be had for 20-25 bucks for most times on the weekday. Lone tree is an awesome place to relax and play the 12 dollar twilight. Tilden is awesome, I wish I lived closer and it was a little cheaper, I always bring up tilden first when my buddies want to golf.
