I don't see how ditching your gear helps things. Maybe just cut the logos off or black them out. If you want to not buy new stuff like a #7 Eagles shirt then I understand. He was like a Hannibal Lechter of dogs. If you ever got to read the details it was sick.

Probably shouldn't be lobbing our names and addresses out over the forum. Click on a screen name and choose send PM. Identity theft gentlemen.

With two rounds left I think anyone at +1 or +2 still has a chance. None of the top ten have really contended in a major before. You have to like Stevie's chances; after all, he is the last caddy to win a PGA after winning the week before.

Colleges are spending big money on sports to run their almost major league programs. The competition makes players train every day all year rather than focusing on school. But I know a lot of the players are going to school specifically to get the course time, practice and instruction and see if they can be good enough to make the tour. I also don't see the utility of the word "amateur". If we're discussing the amateurs that participate in pro tournaments, but retain amateur status, then I completely agree with Tom Watson - they're basically pros. Meanwhile, we're never going to see a "weekend warrior" on television in a PGA event. Good enough to play means enough money to support yourself and play or train daily year-round. If you don't have the big money support or don't put in the time on expensive courses you aren't going to be good enough to make it into an event obviously. This reminds me of the US Open at Bethpage when announcers and officials made a huge deal that they were on a municipal course. Even though it is absolutely nothing like the average course, it is not affordable or accessible or badly maintained.

I always remember this course looking easy and agree with the suggestion that the fairways look huge on tv. The grass is always in great shape, too. It is totally unwarranted, but I get the feeling I could play great golf there. Even though I have no history of this whatsoever. Trick is that the short game would definitely be the tough part for a hack in a tour event. ETA: Atlanta Athletic Club looks tough . The contrast is huge from last week to this week. Hazards everywhere, tight fairways, elevation changes.

But this is a tip of over 50% for driving up and handing you two drinks. Even including the driving and waiting for you to hit, that's a quick $4 for 10 minutes of very light work, plus the $2 per hour wage. This is brilliant. I get what you're saying about supporting the service, but gosh isn't cold beer a priority for some people. Nine holes is only going to take 2 hours, and then you're back at the clubhouse. If you tee off with a beer in hand I'm not seeing how non-dependent individuals would need more and more. You are playing a sport requiring hand-eye coordination, after all. As I've said they deserve something for their service, but you don't need to fork over cash like a butcher paying the mafia to not burn down his shop. If they are in fact paid sub-minimum wage like waitresses, that means the employer is reporting tip income, and if they aren't tipped they're actually losing money. I also struggle with tipping at the airport. Or, at a buffet restaurant, where all they do is refill drinks. It really makes a difference how they're paid.

I think you should try to hit it as far as possible off the tee, then as high as possible onto the green. I suppose the number on the club doesn't matter but it is an advantage to have the ball dropping down and staying put on the putting surface. You get this with the lofted irons. Tiger could do this with a 2-iron when he needed to. I just saw Mickelson describing a hole at the Buick Open where he needed 3-wood to reach in two, but could never hold the green, whereas Tiger hit his 2-iron so high it stopped five feet from where it landed.

+1 I feel like I have seen this hundreds of times. WTF do these old fat guys need to stand around and chat this girl up for. She is trying to be nice for the tips and they use her as a captive audience for their bad jokes or bull. I can't believe how many guys sit there at a restaurant like "dude, think the waitress likes me / likes you?" The answer to this is always no, man, she is working for tips. These women don't need to be hit on constantly, I'm sure it gets old. Remarkably enough, it always changes the mood of the group when the girl shows up in the cart - time and time again, I watch three people who were hacking wormburners and cussing through another round in the heat suddenly light up like Johnny Carson walked out of the trees.

And then there is Marisa Tomei's Core and Curves. The GF tried this and I noticed it would be great as a light routine for golf core strength and balance. It is mostly for chicks, but as a taller man, the balance exercises are tougher than for women. I won't do the skipping parts though.

I read somewhere that Harrington had this done, taking pains to make a hybrid just like an iron, but with the clubhead. It enables you to swing like an iron, but utilize the lower COG and mass of the larger head. I have a stock nike slingshot, and a major tendency to hook my 20 degree hybrid. Problem was I just threw it in the bag and found it easy to hit. After the honeymoon, I realized it was going too frequently left, unless I really paid attention to it. It has a 40" graphite rather than my steel irons, and the clubhead is heavier than my fairway wood. This one lone club really has its' own rhythm, and I don't find myself needing a 205 club very often, so I don't hit it and when I do it feels off. Those who carry two or three hybrids have a better chance to find their swing with them. I think if you just carry one, making it like an iron is the most sensible approach. I prefer the accuracy of my 3-iron at present, so it is out for me.

Water is exactly what you need. As mentioned, a banana can be helpful. I also think apples, almonds or walnuts make an ideal snack. One concern with diet soda should be the phosphoric acid and caffeine that are leaching the calcium from your bones. Especially older folks need to be mindful of this. Of course there's lots of toxins in sodas generally and the whole basket may slow your kidneys.

Nice. I have a blank b/w stand bag with no name on it. Got it new on ebay for $25-30. It is made by "Precise". Works great - and I personally prefer not having a brand or logo all over everything, including shirts and hats. You know you pay extra for the brand, no matter who made the bag. I do have a headcover and towel from my college to liven things up though.

I think $1 per drink is generous and that is what I do. It is an odd job, and I don't think of it as difficult, but I know that golfers can be off-putting. The nearest comparable job might be restaurant hostess, except it is of course outdoors. There are many professions related or unrelated to golf where the work is much more difficult and nobody tips you, greets you or thanks you. The only time I have an instinct to not tip someone relates to travel: I never liked the idea of tipping a skycap for checking my 1-2 bag(s). I did tip a couple times and maybe third time, I didn't have right change to tip. The guy basically let me know he didn't like working for free. Well it isn't any difference to take my bag right outside the airport door, or go in and head to the airline desk, and it isn't any work to put a sticker on a bag, which the customer has put on the belt, is it? I never used skycaps again after that jerk and I hardly see them at airports anymore. Also, bellhops - I waive them off.
