  1. welcome to the board!
  2. Being in Canada - I gotta say Stanley Thompson....he made so many great courses in the early 1900's - For instance St. George's G&CC; which will host the Canadian Open again next year (Number 27 on top 100 courses outside the US) In the same breath I would include Donald Ross....for the same reasons as Thompson....deceivingly difficult and a joy to play.

    Age

    35 playing for about 15 years
  4. Grand National - Would play Links then Lakes in that order Capitol Hill - The Judge (play it twice and its a shot makers course and beautiful) then its a toss up between legislator and senator (links style fan then choose senator) I love Ross Bridge too but I find it a bit more of a resort course - not worth the extra cash imho. I would pick the RTJ Oxmoor Valley - Ridge course down the road for a fraction of the price. The only RTJ course that I found just 'ok' was silver lakes. We are going for a third year in a row in early May and finally I will complete the tour with the two courses around Mobile - So looking forward to it
  5. yes him too :) .....I was only referring to this weekend since she just did it. cheers
  6. lol you think he is Michelle Wie? Congrats to the Irishman!
  7. Honestly...very few films I have seen have even remotely lived up to the hype. This movie does it. Heth does an amazing job as the joker...fantastic performance before he left this world....no wonder this role haunted him Here is a classic line from the movie where the joker performs a magic trick with the underworld gangs http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoID=38748158
  8. I hear Rocco is quite chatty which may be a bit annoying for tiger...not sure if it is enuff to pull off a win. I still say Tiger...and its great this will be in prime time!
  9. Dude you did well. Unfortunately you picked standford :(

  11. Really it happens in sports....they are top athletes. Yes Bubba should have left it for the next tee box and been a shade politer about it all, but they are competing at the highest stage. Not making excuses for it, but can certainly see how it could happen. Bubba apologized and I think that was very big of him admitting fault. He still has my respect.

    -18

    http://www.pgatour.com/players/02/45...dia-guide.html I think 59 can be beaten, just not sure if it would be 54....more like 57. 54 just seems so unreachable with the courses and technology out there

  14. hands down Hogan....read his book and it makes sense too :D
  15. and remember he had a shot later where the 4 iron would have come in handy
  16. Played with a guy that was a plus 2 and had an amazing game around the green. He's finished school in the states playing the NCAA division I and is debating playing on the asian tour. Awesome guy and very helpful
  17. started at age 11 after being a sudo caddy for a few years. Unfortunately pretty much stopped from age 19 to 22 as I was into other things.....thankfully came to my senses got back into it :D...been solid for the past decade
  18. tough one for me - dad is from ireland and mom is from scotland. In the end I voted for ireland :D really you can not go wrong with either. If you want history then its a no contest - scotland. If you want beautiful courses I gave the tip of the hat to ireland, hence my vote
  19. I say she has to play a little longer to show get tiger-like respect. Its not about winning its winning consistently over the long term
  20. European definitely outweights the Nationalwide tour...like many have said. Many of the personalities prefer playing more on the euro to be closer to home and make a decent wage.
  21. I say 2 - masters and US Open.
  22. I think he'll get his card. I hope the best for him
  23. Lessons were very good and I practiced religiously. What I will say is the person teaching me was very technical and about feel and I respond better to analogy teaching better, so my turn around time on improvement was a little longer as I worked through the teaching delivery method of the instructor....in the end he was right....just took me longer to get my head around it :D
  24. I was considering attending one of the two golf academies - either Leadbetter's or Pelz's and curious on people's thoughts that have attended either one. http://www.pelzgolf.com/ http://www.davidleadbetter.com/index_academies.html
  25. I have to agree 100%. I want to see the real professionals play. There is real talent in the field and I am so sick of hearing about her. I hope she goes into the abyss so they can concentrate on the great talent that is there.
