Nice! I was the one who recommended the easy style whiskey sour, and the old-fashioned. I'm too lazy to make the simple syrup, but you're inspiring me. Maybe I'll make some tonight...

Do it. It only takes a couple minutes, and it's great to have around. If you've got kids (or just don't feel like drinking alcohol), just keep the lemon juice and syrup around and you can also just make lemonade in your cocktail shaker. You can do it with sugar, but the syrup keeps it dissolved better.

In the bag:
FT-iQ 10° driver, FT 21° neutral 3H
T-Zoid Forged 15° 3W, MX-23 4-PW
Harmonized 52° GW, Tom Watson 56° SW, X-Forged Vintage 60° LW
White Hot XG #1 Putter, 33"

Hello all!

At that age ordering anything other than a Natural Light will impress a young lady.

When it comes to booze try lots of different things and drink what you like without pretention. That being said never, and I mean never, order a fruity martini in front of other men. Post Golf Round: You need to develop a taste for whiskey at some point. Find a blended whiskey you can palate and order it on the rocks. Most people transition into whiskey by starting with Canadian whiskey and moving to Scotch or Bourbon. Canadian whiskey tends to be a little sweeter than other types. Just be aware that it you order a single malt or single barrel, DO NOT PUT IN ON ICE. In some places it is considered a sin and if you are trying to fit in with your dad's buddies it will help knowing this. Find a gin you like and develop a taste for gin martinis. Having a couple of premium beers that you like helps as well. For Chics: My brother taught me the 100% sure fire way to impress a girl who is under the age of 25. The Kir Royale. If the girl has never had one or heard of it, encourage her to try one. You can ever bite the bullet and order one yourself (make sure none of your guy friends see you). It is a very elegant and simple cocktail that almost all women love. It will also demonstrate you are wordly. Lastly, find a couple of "go to" wines that you can order with confidence. Impressing younger girls can easily be done if their date stares at the wine list (after establishing her color preferance) and saying "oh they have the XXXX" Again it makes you seem a little more wordly.

Lol! Good call. Champagne and cassis; wonderful. The standard Kir is good too, typically white burgundy and cassis. Could try varying them with other syrups; peach is good.

Try anything and everything you fancy. No-one can say what'll suit your palate. As a Brit, I'd recommend some of our ale if you can get any. There are some awesome light ales/beer which go down great after a round. Non-alcoholic on a hot day you could do worse than a Gunner's or Rock shandy. The Rock is Angostura bitters, ginger ale and soda. The Gunner's (my choice) is a Rock with lime cordial in it. You want good shakes of bitters and lime and then about 50:50 on the soda and ginger ale. Lots of ice. Make it as a pint. For impression, I'd go for wines. We don't get a lot of the good U.S. stuff here unless you know where to look but there is some awesome stuff around the World to try; the usual Old World French, Italian, Spanish etc have some great wines but don't ignore Australia, New Zealand or South America either. After dinner stuff there's loads and loads. If you can find them, try an aged Madeira - awesome stuff. Cognac, Armanac etc etc. Whiskys - too many to mention but don't be put off trying strong flavoured ones sooner rather than later. I was warned to steer clear of Islay malts until, half cut one New Year, I tried some Laphroaig and....boom. Been sold on Islay (and other peaty malts) ever since. For a whiskey (Irish), try a Middleton if you can....be wary as can be pricey. Irish whiskeys are quite different to many Scots whiskys but pretty good just the same! Something very Mediterranean and different you could try pre-meal or sitting out on a hot day is a pastis and water; shot of pastis and plenty of water. Try any of Pernod, Ouzo (Greek), Sambuca (Italian), Ricard or others. some love it but a word of warning - you need to like aniseed!

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
