When I say refused I mean I asked and they refused. I asked twice do you mind if I play through and was told "we're doing fine" and "wait your turn". Tell you what though next time I go out I'll walk and you can carry my bag. When it's 100+ outside I'm taking a cart and anyone who thinks otherwise can kiss my A$$. I'll walk when its low 90's upper 80's and below but right now we're in the middle of summer.

106 today.

Played the slowest game of my life today due to a walking foursome in front of me. I was by myself in a power cart and they refused to let me play through.

Thats pretty much exactly what my pro shop told me. I think I might see if I can pick one up.

I guess its not really a 3 wood then. Mine is a 13* HT. If I was to get a driver it would probably be a 10*. I guess my best bet is to go to a demo day and demo one and see if theres a big difference. Unless I run across a killer deal. LOL.

I doubt it will ever happen again but I hope that I can learn to hit the club consistently to be close but on sunday July 3rd on 17, I teed off with my 3 wood like I always do (i've never been about to hit a normal driver) and hit it 280 straight down the center of the fairway. The hole plays 375 and I was 5 yards past the 100 yard marker. Everything just felt perfect on this swing from my tempo to my grip. This was my 3rd time out in 2 weeks since I started playing again after a 6 year break. I've always used a 3 wood to drive and when I went to my local pro shop and found a 13* Diablo driver to complete my set I had to have it. Since then though I haven't really been happy with the distance. On average I've been around 220 yards with it but hardly any roll. So my local pro told me to pick up a driver and just practice with it at the range until I feel comfotable enough to have it in my bag. I guess my question is was this a fluke and I should get a lower lofted driver if I want more Distance, or should I just learn to hit my 3 wood more consistently to get more distance. In my defense I thought 220 was going to be the most I could get from the 3 wood until I hit this drive.

105 with 1 par being my best hole. I did have a 280 yard drive with my 3 wood though on 17. Will probably never hit it that far and straight again but I was proud.

Ever think to read my whole post and see that I said maybe its just in my area, and that I was referenceing to the courses I play.

I don't see what the big deal is between white tees in blues tees. Maybe its just in my area but the difference on the courses I've played is 10 yards at most. Before I stopped playing 6 years ago I played from both tees and my scores were never much different, sometimes better on the blues, sometimes not. I usally just play from whatever tees my group is playing from. To come on here though and tell someone that their score doesn't really count because its not the blue tees or to get a real HC from the blue tees is just plain idiotic.

Who says? It doesn't matter what tees he plays from. He may play from the whites every round and breaking 80 would still be an accomplishment for him.

Yeah I've shot in the 110-120 area before in 2 1/2 to 3 hours. I expected today to be a 3 hour game and it turned into 4 1/2.

Haven't played in 6 years. Shot 119 Friday and 107 today.

I had a twosome in front of me today that on multiable holes I had to wait around 10 mins to tee off. One of the two was ok. The other didn't walk he strolled to and from the green and to and from his cart. They would tee off and leave just as I approched the box so they never let me play through. I caught up to them on 18 and the stroller looks at me and says " I hope you don't think we were playing slow, it was the group in front of us". I replied back " really? I haven't seen anyone in front of you all day". He just smirked and walked off. Don't get me wrong I don't mind slow play due to ability, we all have to start somewhere. This guy was just taking his sweet time each shot when he know faster players were behind him.

WOW you guys sure do bash the Diablo's. I happen to like the way they look and play. To each his own.
