  1. Wow tough crowd ! hope someone doesn't find out where I live and do a drive by shooting. I went back to the coarse Today and asked him what his policy was on this type of situation, and that I didn't understand. He said he was sorry and that he was having a bad day and didn't mean to be so blunt and that I was a great customer ,Thanked me for my bussiness and offered me a free round. I declined but asked him if the coarse was empty early during the week could I finish my golf he gladley said yes, I bought another 150.00 dollar punch card we shook hands and all is good. win win situation for both of us.
  2. First off I would never cut in front of anyone to finish the round this coarse is empty early in the morning during the week. I'm not playing bay hill it's a small par 4 muni coarse, I really don't see what the big deal would have been , I play the front nine jump to 13 finish the 6 holes and all is good, I just found it a little annoying that he would not let me do this. I guess I could have just done it and not asked. very interesting replys!
  3. when I first started playing golf, I went to the local pro shop picked up a new ping driver to try it out and on the first swing hit the ball right on the shaft and the club head went flying ooops The pro shop said it happens don't worry about it , I have spent several thousand of dollars their ever since.
  4. So I'm on number twelve by myself monday morning at 7:45 and my phone rings, I'm self employed and I need to go to a project a little early, so I take off go to the club house and let the guy know I need to leave early and will finish the 6 holes that I have left on Tuesday after I play the front nine, He says no way you have to play it today or you loose it. WTF? I have played this coarse at least 40 times this summer and have been playing almost everyday latley, I tee off at 6:15 am pay at the turn and I'm done before most people are out of bed. but I did get a late start today and cold have been done by 8:30 . Is this normal ? One would think he would cut me some slack considering what a good customer I have been.
  5. rotflmao Best one I have heard all year .

    Finally!!!

    That's fantastic, I made one two weeks ago and I'm still bragging about it. congradulations! now go make another.
  7. NICE JOB MAN!
  8. I bought a golf ball retreiver last week a compact 18 ft model and so far I have picked up over 1000 golf balls including 275 pro v 1 ranging from brand spanking new to very usable. I have good quantities of every golf ball you could imagine , I have so many pro v 1's that I now used the ones that look like they have been hit a couple of times for range balls, my bag shag is cramed full of them along with the small box to the right. As for the people who say that balls who have been under water are damaged I say b.s. I have cut several in half with my band saw and not one drop of water or any water stains have been present. Never again will I buy new balls plus my friends love me for giving them hundreds for their use. Spend 39.95 plus a little of your time and pick up all you want.
  9. On my 40th birthday I went to my local pro shop and bought everything ping from putter to driver with all the goodies in between spent 3 k and never once played a round of golf. Nine years later i'm playing two to four over on most average coarses with a one under this year and an eagle. it's never too late imo your young just put in the time and in a few years you will be holding your own. One of the best feeling in the world is beating everyone who is a good player in your group. go for it and never look back.
  10. The ball still rolls just fine, playing in all kinds of conditions helps in the long run. the front nine is slow the back is mowed. I would rather play with the dew then get stuck behind slow play.
  11. Without a doubt this year has been excellent , I have beat my long time golf partner for the last month which has always been my secret goal, I made an eagle , a 35 / 1 under on the front nine of a tough coarse ( we wont talk about the back) I hope to play as much as I can weather permitting, sad to see the summer and golf wind down
  12. I tee off as soon as it gets light out around 6:15 am here in Oregon, The coarse is not even open yet but they let me go and have me pay at the turn or after the round, I can by myself get 18 holes in before 8 am. (self employed) no one is on the coarse and you get to see the sun rise nothing better in my opinon, I do it 5 days a week. and play different coarses with my buddies on the weekends all with early as possible tee times.
  13. Why would anyone pay 60 bucks for pro vi balls go here and get all you want everyday for 38.99 http://www.fiddlersgreen.com/product.cfm?id=33026
  14. Ditto, the only thing that bugs me is looking for my buddies ball all the time or the slow group ahead of us.
  15. I almost caught one in the melon on saturday I heard the kid hit it and looked up just in time to duck out of the way, he never yelled fore I just looked at him with my hands open like wtf. Gee sorry sir, yell fore next time IF IT'S NOT TO MUCH TROUBLE.
