That's crazy!

I don't see why people think he should pay more. When you pay for a membership you're paying for unlimited play. Just so happens he makes the most of it.

I wondor what his handicap is...

Career Bests:

9 Holes--37 @ The Fairways at Arrowhead-Front(+2)

18 Holes--80 @ Carroll Meadows Golf Course(+9)

 

Home Course:

1) The Fairways at Arrowhead

2) Mayfair Country Club

I actually would not want to play that much because it would mean no practice (as this guy indicates is true for him).

that's a goal I may never reach, but it sure would be fun trying. I can see myself playing 200 when I retire.

1/10th... 40 rounds... that's not nearly enough golf in a year, but it is likely what I will be reduced to now that I am a parent and have to work all week.

Darn man that is alot of golf. I thought i played alot. I played anywhere between 100-150 rounds this year and that was alot for me. If i could get out there more i would but have a 1 year old baby and a demanding job. When i retire im gunning for his number lol.

I'm going to give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen. And all you have to do is get in touch with it, stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball.

We have a guy at our club who has probably played a little bit less than 400 rounds. He plays almost every single day. He's single, he seems to have a job that does not require his presence all the time, and he does nothing but wake up, go to the course, finish and go home. Literally speaking.
He's a 7 handicapper.
My achievements:
Eagles: 0
Birdies: 18
Best Round: 89

The article says he's a 7.2 (which is high for him because he hurt his shoulder hauling wood). Interestingly, he says playing a lot of golf isn't necessarily conducive to getting better, because he doesn't practice much.

Not sure what handicap has to do with it, but I played 242 rounds (mixed between 9 & 18 holes) this year at my home course. Our course is open each year from Good Friday to Election Day. I play every evening if I'm home from work in time and normally play 18 every Saturday & Sunday morning with my regular group and return in the evening to play another 18 both days with the wife. I know many others at my home course that never miss a day playing during the season outside of days the course is unplayable. As for paying more, I say no way. I know my membership is for unlimited play and I walk 99% of the time and leave the course each time in better shape than I found it by picking up after others, repairing pitch marks/divits and so on.

I could play golf everyday, the only fear that I would be afraid of is to become complacent with my game. Its one thing to improve your game, but it's another just to play without practicing and achieving a goal to get better. Its very rewarding and exciting to practice a part of your game and see it come together on the course and on your score card.

I love to play golf and wish I could play even more, but not sure I could play every day. Honestly, I kind of enjoy living in the midwest were there is an off season. I hate to see the season end but taking a couple of months off really gets me excited about the new year and setting new goals and trying to achieve new personal best. I'm like a kid in a candy store when the weather gets nice and I can play again in the Spring, it's like my first time to get to play, I couldn't be more excited.

Yet more evidence that Golf is the most addictive sport/game in the world.

Sounds like a serious mental problem to me. Can't stop playing golf, can't stay married. I wonder what he'll do to compensate in Iraq? Good Luck to him.

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

      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
