Was your title hacked?

I tried watching it a few times, perhaps I was expecting more golf, so I was really disappointed. Didn't see the first host, so maybe it was better back then. Thirsty Traveler is a pretty solid show.

100% rating means NOTHING. If they sell bogus clubs to people that don't know any better, of course they are going to get positive feedback. Also look CLOSELY @ the feedback. I could buy 200-300 cheap items, promptly pay the seller and get 200-300 positive feedbacks, but how many items have I SOLD? How many customers have I SATISFIED? Click on the links- look at past auctions and look at the winning bidders, and then see the winning bidder's history, to double-check if that guy is an educated shopper... eBay can be equally horrible and awesome, so you gotta watch out!

I constantly curse at myself and call myself hideous and disgusting names throughout every round. I hate me. Does this count?

paula creamer is beautiful

Totally agreed. Artists, actors, musicians and the like have cranked out the most amazing and creative stuff while under the influence of drugs. Not that I condone drug use (because I don't) but the world would be a very different (and probably boring) place without them, especially in the hands of those very talented folks!

Rory is such a baby, Congrats TW

A 5 hour round at one of the public courses in my area (Dyker Beach GC, Brooklyn) would be considered SPEED GOLF. Still sucks though since you're used to quicker rounds.

i want to know what that feels like so badly...

I have to qualify my "FREE" ProV1 statement. Since this was my thread originally I can go slightly OT for one post. A co-worker of mine, she lives in New Jersey right on a golf course (Colonia Golf Club). Her house is on a cul de sac right off the second hole. From what club members have said, her house is an "aiming point" or landmark for that particular hole, so these golf balls go flying into her backyard, front yard, lawn, deck, garage, pool, you name it. Needless to say when I found this out, I had to ask..."Do you guys PLAY golf?" The incredible answer- neither her or her husband play golf. Quickly followed up with, "What do you do with all those golf balls?" The next incredible answer- "We save them in compound buckets in our garage." So to make a long story short, (if that's possible at this point) I asked her to bring them into work, and she did just that. Out of 100-120 balls about 80 were Titleist ProV1 or ProV1x. I take all the golf balls and put them in a strainer in my sink, give them a bath, and sort them out. The crappy brand and severely scuffed balls become practice balls, the decent brand balls go in the bag for when someone has to "borrow" and the good balls get cleaned up and alignment-marked for play. So every month she brings in almost 80-100 balls, and the majority are Titleist ProV1 or ProV1x. For a golfer of my skill level (who still loses balls at least once or twice a round) it's the perfect way to get a ball that I otherwise would be wasting money on. A funny side story, on SEVERAL occasions I have found 2-3 balls with the same initials and ball marks, indicating the same guy going OB off that tee. And since you're gonna ask anyway, Colonia is amazing with reimbursing them for repairs to their car, deck, windows etc. P.S. I still hate my 60°

Suggestion: KILL YOUR BROTHER

I think so much of putting is in the mind, so it helps to pull out a putter that you are confident in and that you have pride in. Whether its a cameron or bettinardi or odyssey or your grandfather's bullseye or whatever, half of the battle is THINKING YOU ARE GONNA SINK THAT PUTT

Just re-gripped my Pings, they feel like a million bucks. Even if you end up getting new clubs, the re-gripping should keep you interested until you get the new sticks and will help with the resale (maybe not in $, but at least in terms of sellability)

The more I read this the more I HATE MINE. LOL Damn you guys that LOVE IT! I want to love mine so badly. It looks so damn good in the bag. I can't take it out!

This is a great thread. There are so many stupid sayings to choose from, I don't know where to begin! I hate that Sally one. Obviously when I hit a putt like a 10 year old girl, I deserve it, but come up with something a little more creative, will you? Never up, never in. Just played out beyond belief. My dad's been telling me this one ever since I learned to speak. That's trouble. (Usually after a 180° sliced laser beam directly into the woods.) No SH!T Sherlock. Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I just hate when people state the obvious. Ones I like: You're in jail. (Behind tree-line or other trouble requiring a miracle to get out of) Good ball. Not really a cliche, I guess I hear it so FEW times each round, it's nice to crush a shot and have the other guys say, "Good ball!" I know there's more, my friends know lots of them, but I'm still relatively new at this culture so I forgot a lot of the ones that I hear and like...
