I play the Callaway Hex black Tour Xouts for $25 a dozen (less when they are on sale). I'll play Prov1 Xouts or logos for $30 a dozen. There is no reason to spend $20/dozen on DT rocks imo There is a difference, I can tell and it's enough to make me spend a few buck more to have the better ball.

This new BS with every Sports talk, Golf Channel, ESPN dope worrying about someone's LEGACY is a waste of time. THey did it with Lebron, Kobe, Tiger, Mickelson, Eli, Peyton, Tom Brady you name it. HOW LEBRON PLAYS IN GAME 3 WILL FOREVER IMPACT HIS LEGACY!!!!! Tigger's Saturday in Augusta will impact his legacy!!!! Come on man. Let the guy be great. We have forever to worry about how great he was. To speculate on that today or try to play up the importance of nano-seconds for ratings is dull.

I just won my golf league and the day's dogfight after a Triple, Bogey, Double start. I birdied 2 holes and shot my version of a good score (88). It would have been easy to 3 jack every green and lose focus. I just tried to remain calm, swing easy, remember MY swing keys and have a good time. You need some mental queues to help you in these spots.

I have never much liked bubba and I am not surprised he'd be a bit of a baby after mishitting a 9I into the drink. A little perspective though, my man still top 5'd the event and cashed a big check. The whole line about not showing up is more insulting to me than the caddy stuff. My man has too much money and not enough sense.

How many strokes does severe wind gusts cost you per 18 holes?
wolfsburg2 replied to clearwaterms's topic in Golf Talk
I think this is largely player dependent. I shot around my handicap in brutal windy cold weather all winter. I'm crushing my golf league playing partners because of this. I hit the ball consistantly poor regardless of wind, I can put and hit wedges pretty good though. As a result of my style of play and my attitude (bad weather doesn't bother me as much as it does others) I am not beat up by the wind as much as most people seem to be. I lost 1 stroke on my handicap over the winter, playing every weekend. That's probably as much due to my inability to play more and practice as it was the weather and course conditions. -
A few I can think of this "year". Playing in my Sunday Dogfight I've parred (great 4 iron and then 2 putt) and Bogeyed 18 ( after a poor drive, chipped out and hit a good 9i and then 2 putt) to win the money. More recently I drove my ball left behind a tree at Championsgate National in FL. I had 167 left to the hole and hit a giant cut 5I to 8ft. It was beautiful. I also holed out for birdie from 80 yards on the toughest hole on our course. That won me some sammie $ :)

I hate them. No spin at all, though they travel a good ways.

Buy whatever you can afford comfortably. I personally think Used balls should be mandatory for a high cap prone to losing a bunch of balls. As for getting a ball that "flies straight", barf. Get a ball that is consistent and bites on the green. Build a better swing and learn to like shaping shots. Very few golfers (even tour pros) hit the ball "straight". Buy used NXT Tours, Anything TM high end, Provs Prov1x, Xouts etc.

Cobra AMP vs Baffler T-Rail Hybrids
wolfsburg2 replied to TMBridgestone's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I read some painful reviews on the AMP hybrids. I play AMP irons and 3w but the Hybrids get very unforgiving reviews. -
I've played about 40 rounds since March and that doesn't count my combined scores when I get 9 holes in after work during the week. Which is somewhere north of 25. Just because YOU can't make the time to play or have a supportive wife who encourages you to play doesn't mean everyone else can't. If you don't like Obama's politics that's fine. You should still be able to see through this ridiculous "attack" by Romney.

Tiger, Kuchar, DJ and Luke Donald look best to me with the nod going to El Tigre because he had 3 wins. Rory had a sick year too and should be discussed because of the big wins. Overall a very good year for a lot of guys.

I will not be answering this question because that means I'd have to think about it. I did buy new irons, a 3w a wedge and $2200 on a country club. Ugh.

The tour championship is probably not the best place to see a practice round. There are only 30 guys playing. I was there yesterday and it was pretty awesome. I liked the smaller field and the club was wide open. Nothing like the madness I experienced at Bethpage in 2009. I think those tickets for the weekend are around everywhere for next to nothing. $40 face value. Well worth it for a competition round. Think about heading back!

Congrats OP. I worked a long time to break 100 and even longer to break 90! Keep it up

Poorly run golf courses...I witnessed one last Friday.
wolfsburg2 replied to formula428's topic in Golf Talk
You paid $20. Focus on that point please. You paid $20. This was far from a painful greens fee. AND YOU GOT IT REFUNDED. I am glad I don't deal with customers like you for a living. I'd hate my life. -

wolfsburg2 replied to formula428's topic in Golf Talk
The course is trying to make money. They make money with green fees. You paid $20. This is nuts. You didn't even run into the group out front, you assumed you would be held up by the "mess". And by mess, I mean group of other golfers on the public golf course. You got your money back, STFU. You might want to pick up a different hobby. -

Thats my take on it too. -
Who are your 3 favorite and 3 least favorite players on tour?
wolfsburg2 replied to atb5079's topic in Tour Talk
I like to watch just about everyone. When Phil and Tiger are "on" they are easiest to watch imo. I like to watch Hunter Mahan and Rickie FOwler too but for different reasons. Mahan looks so technically sound and Fowler looks so loose. I think they are excellent examples of how you can get it done a lot of ways on tour. I also like Miguel Angel Cabrera, Tim Clark and Luke DOnald who were all super cool at the Open in 09' I don't really have any disliked players. I do not get the Donald or Westwood hate. Those 2 guys are fun to watch and both seem like easy to drink a beer with types. I think a lot of people do not understand how good those 2 guys are. -
Webb Simpson and Stewart Cink Show their Support for Chick-fil-A

I am a christian myself boss. For the sake of simplicity, please view [some] or [fundamentailst] when I write christians. -
Webb Simpson and Stewart Cink Show their Support for Chick-fil-A
wolfsburg2 replied to mvmac's topic in Tour Talk
And again the entire debate boils down to one simple idea. Is being gay a choice? Christians sure seem to think it is. I go back to my question, unanswered. Do you choose to like women or do you just like them? Are you suppressing gay love to get into heaven? It's crazy to me how this doesn't make sense. You don't choose who you love, you just love them. You are wired that way. -

wolfsburg2 replied to mvmac's topic in Tour Talk
I'll gladly be the minority. Because the generally public is so swift to change. Being the majority doesn't make you right. It's he core of this debate. We, and I use that loosely, are heterosexual so that must be "right" because we are the majority or because the bible tells us so. And that's all well and good, until you trying and legislate it. The government has no business in marriage. The church can absolutely stand strong, not marry gays and object. It's when they oppress the people that have a different view where we get into hate, bigotry, ignorance. I don't care about anyone's position, I'm not trying to hangs the world or spur social evolution. I will argue with anyone who wants to oppress people of any gender, race or sexual orientation. On the chik fila point, like index folks were already going there for food. They have lost customers by taking this position. I don't see how they gain business when they isolate a part of their market. You must know more about business than I do though. Lose customers, profit!
