  1. I'm not sure that I can say if they are better than your current clubs or not as I have not hit either set. I guess what it comes down to is if you really need the ~$500 (approx. ebay price) that these clubs are worth or not. If you're sell them, you could always upgrade other parts of your bag (Driver, wedges, etc.) if that is more important
  2. I would look into reshafting before I bought a brand new one... ...or you can always look on ebay.
  3. I too drop my club at the top of my swing when it isn't going quite how I wanted. I threw clubs when I was a kid (grade school) just for the fun of it. I haven't been fortunate enough to witness any complete melt downs while on the course...
  4. I gave up all hope in the NBA a long time ago. I watched the draft to see where some of my (least) favorite college players ended up. D.J. White going in the first round? Ha!
  5. Glad I could introduce you to useless internet lingo Anyway, thread-jack over
  6. Quoted For Truth
  7. QFT I won't believe it until someone can confirm the $36,000 was paid in full
  8. Why has no one said the x-factors?!?!? Jack Hamm uses them!!!!! brief off topic: this photo was titled "web sight photo" Anywho, my real answer is callaway x-forged
  9. Agreed. IMO 60* wedges are not often necessary, but I understand that I'm not the one in question here. If you find your LW is neccesary, I agree that the 3i or 5w is the thing to go.Try playing rounds without one or the other and see what works best for you.

    John Daly?

    Personally, I'd rather have a Rocco Mediate representing me.
  12. source? I have to say that if anyone can, he will.
  13. Here is an excerpt from a website talking about leaving animals in cars: "On a warm, sunny day windows collect light, trapping heat inside the vehicle, and pushing the temperature inside to dangerous levels. On an 85-degree Fahrenheit day, for example, the temperature inside a car with the windows opened slightly can reach 102 degrees within ten minutes. After 30 minutes, the temperature will reach 120 degrees." http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/co..._your_pet.html That being said, I generally keep my clubs inside. I have, however, had no problems from the occasional times that I have left them in a car.

    Good Stuff

    Agreed. Made me proud to be a golf fan.
  15. I would call an impossible read a "Finnegan's Wake"
  16. http://www.xfactordirect.com/wedges.htm "Dr. Knockdown 80° Wedge - The first 80-degree Wedge This is the club missing from everybody's golf bag. This will help any golfer lower their score. It's 80-degrees design lets you cut under the ball from any lie and hit high lobs to go right for the flag. Use it from 30 yards in and save 5 strokes per round. " Maybe they literally mean that it is missing from everybody's golf bag
  17. I googled this and found out: "The Center for Disease Control made a report to Congress stating that cars parked in direct sunlight can reach internal temperatures of up to 131F - 172F when the outside temperatures are only 80F - 100F." http://cms.firehouse.com/web/online/University-of-Extrication/The-Physiological-Effects-of-Heat-Inside-a-Locked-Vehicle/19$764 It was rather hasty research, so don't hold me to it
  18. Seriously, for me its 85* or nothin'
  19. Wonderful link I am no longer amongst the unknowing/less-informed golfers previously mentioned.
  20. Well, it is taking place at Purdue, where I am currently a student, so I really hope to be able to drive up and catch a round. I follow Purdue's golf in the campus newspaper, but as far as I know, they do not seem to be very good. I really wish it was on TV to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Pete Dye that we have....
  21. Great thread. Since I took the game back up (beginning of this summer) I shot +34. A few days ago I shot +21 on the same course, so its going the right way at least. I played some in late Elementary school (I was probably around 10-12 years old) and while we never kept score, I can't imagine how horrible it was....
  22. According to wikipedia, it'd be a "Vulture". Equivalent of a Hole-In-1 on a par 5.... I could've sworn I looked this up a month or so ago and it was called a "Condor"....oh wells, its wikipedia... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golf#Scoring OK, I found a site with it listed as condor. But then again, this site also has bird names listed through 15 OVER par, so I'm questioning the credibility... http://www.anyonefortee.com/Scoring/Birds.html
  23. It gets you Ego Waffles?!?!
  24. When I was in early high school, I was a big dropkick murphys fan (dkm), and the 978 doesnt really stand for anything. Even though I'm not as big a fan as I once was, its a good screenname due to abiguity.
