Hey everyone. I just found this forum and joined. I was looking for golf forums on Google and it was one of the first ones that popped up (good job with SEO!) I'm not a crazy golf guy but I've stumbled onto a bunch of indoor golf simulators and started looking them up. They look pretty cool for people that aren't members of a country club or don't live near a great golf course. Some are pretty expensive, but I guess they're full interactive simulation systems. I'm sure they're well worth the cost though. I've found them very interesting, so I decided to put a bunch of them together and a few videos of people using them. I also found a bunch of cool tshirts and golf-related products.

I don't get to play much, kinda wish I did though. Actually, I've never played on an 18-hole course, just 9 hole pitch and putts. I wonder how far I could really hit the ball, I'm really not sure. It's always fun though and I can't wait to play again.

I'm looking for the rules about posting links and stuff. If I can post one, I'll send ya to my weird little site. It's just a ******* lens with some of the products I found on Amazon and eBay, some videos and Cafe Press stuff related to golf. Nothing too crazy :)

Have a good one.

Welcome from Oklahoma... I drove through LA once on my honeymoon 10 yrs. ago.

I found this site about a week ago. It's very cool.

For myself, I was introduced to golf at age 12-13, and played until I was about 16. Played a little on the high school team. Through various poor decisions gave it up. Now 20 years later, the spark has exploded.

The town I live in has 2, 9 hole courses, and because I don't have a lot of $$$ I can only play, at most, 2 times a week. I practice at least 3 times a week in a filed next to my house with balls that I have collected over the last 4 months. (about 7 dozen)

Since February of this year I have gone from a 26 handicap (established by GHIN/USGA) to a 20.4. Progress is being made....that's the name of the game.

Have fun and enjoy

Hey Jim. I don't have one, I just stumbled onto them. I never really even knew they existed until I stumbled onto it. I can't afford one right now, but it seems like they're very worth the investment for people who can. I don't play much but it looked interesting. I used to have a little putting strip thing, but that's it. I've played at pitch and putt courses, but like I said never an 18 whole course. I do like watching golf though.

I can't seem to find the rules again. Can I post links? If I can I'll show you what I put together, I found cool videos and put together a few of the top of the line things I found on Amazon and eBay and stuff. I like doing things like that. I love research and finding things for people, so maybe people will stumble onto it.

    • Yes. If you choose to take the ball out of the bunker instead of taking maximum available relief… it costs a stroke.
    • I got another one today....Number 17. Par 5 that has water left and right on the layup. I smacked a drive down the left side and got a little lazy on the layup and fanned my 6 iron. With 112 to a crowned green I got it to 3 feet and birdie!  Only 5 and 15 is left for this year! 
    • Maybe I didn’t explain this properly. Back and front can be confusing.  There was no place in the bunker that didn’t have 2-3 inches of rain water in it, except for a small spot on the slope nearest the pin. If I had dropped there I would be moving 6-7 feet closer to the hole. Since my ball was just inside the bunker, farthest side from the hole, I dropped one club length backward, which brought me out of the bunker. I could not have hit from that deep of water. Are you saying I would have had to take a penalty stroke due to rain water? 
    • Day 550, May 5, 2024 Got a good hour in with a typical (for me) two-stick setup: pool noodle angled in front, yardstick on the ground angled 45° behind me.
    • Day 130: Cinco de Mayo Day 7/24 of Full Speed Spectrum training. Difficult training day after struggling to certify my warmup yesterday, and today. Finished 13 mph lower than my training speed on Thursday. Hope to hit some balls today.
