I'm going into college at clemson, and I work at the local grocery store bagging groceries for now. So its about ten last night, and the store is getting ready to close. I'm cleaning the bathrooms, and get called up front to bag a big order for the cashier. Its this nice lady and her son, so i'm just going along like normal. We're almost done with the order, and the lady's husband walks up. I'm looking at him going, no way, this can't be who I think it is. So I say to him, I know you, and he goes, I'm a golfer....and I'm like, you're STEWART CINK!!! Ten o clock at night, at an ingles in seneca, sc, and I'm shaking hands with the British Open Champion...... best night of work ever :) He has a house in keowee key just north of town, that's why he was there if anyone is wondering lol. Just have to tell everyone here about it, it's a small world out there haha

That's pretty cool. You should have mentioned that there's a thread here about whether or not it's okay to hate him :)

That's a great story :)

I have a couple of good ones which I might share later as well. Not about famous golfers though.

haha yes i washed my hands, and surprisingly he wasn't as tall as i thought. I mean i'm six two and he was about my height. He seemed a very nice guy, so did his son and wife, it was just very cool to see him in real life, away from the course :) And Oconee is my home course haha, one of my favorite places in the world, love the people there :)

The courses around anderson really aren't that great in my opinion, I enjoy boscobel in pendleton, but its pretty average. The best in the area by far is the walker course at Clemson, best practice area, course, fairways, layout, etc. So i'd pick that one for sure if I were you. You might even see me out there beating balls haha.

      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!
