Great quote from Merry Mex to I think it was Johnny Miller about playing the ball off the deck in the tee box "it's the only advantage this game gives you kid, why would you take it away?" or something along those lines.. Plus I had a local pro say that to a buddy of mine more or less.. he said it's not like your hitting a 1 iron you know. P

Just remember it's not a driver, meaning don't set up with it off your front foot. Depending on your swing the 3wd should be off the inside heel and you don't need to tee it up super high either. I've been playing mostly 3 wood off the tee (except for saturdays round where I him a new 907D2 I just got). Also, remember Tempo don't try to kill it or you'll end up really getting aggro! Anyways, I have an older Titleist 3wd that I freaking love, I can only image how the 909 is. Good luck! Pete

I utilize my flop shot every chance i get and this sounds like a perfect time to pull "Excaliber" from the bag and stick it like a lawn dart! Of course I 4 putt from there but hey great flop shot (i'm at about 90% when it comes to my wedge game 90% very good 10% oh s**t!).. 0-P

Oh yeah, I'm 100% pulling for Bubba.. .I just like that cat! Others I'd like to see win, Lee Westwwod, Philly of course, and Furyk simply because he's a fellow Steelers fan :) LOL and we need to have something to celbrate! LOL -P

IMO, simple... take her to the section with the usa kids clubs take her to the mat let her swing... if she prefers lefty fine. I love that my son and I (he's been swinging a club and shooting a puck since 10months old, he'd stand swing hit the ball fall, stand swing hit the ball fall....repeat repeat keep going.) Let them love the game, then in a few years let them learn the game... she's 4, my sons 3 ... hell he already hits the ball like a man at 3 ! LOL... once he's ready, I'll get him to someone that knows wtf to do :) LOL Good luck, just enjoy hitting balls with your daughter.. Jack and i play closest to the tree ring in my front yard everyday.. or we go to the field and let him swing away. It's fun :) -P

I went from a Stiff shaft to a regular shaft simply to MAKE me slow down and not be so quick to the ball, I've been able to improve my ball striking big time. =P

So saturday I was playing golf in Oxnard, at Olivas Links (1st time in like 15+ years), and I'm on like 6 maybe and this dude hits the ball into me and doesn't yell fore. (my guess he didn't know where it went) but i was pissed off! Yell fore for christ's sakes! so @ the turn this dude comes walking over I figure he wants to join our 3-some, he extends his hand and says: I'm really sorry I hit so close to you and hope you'll accept my appology. I and my other 2 were just blown away! We all had to pat him on the back and say your a Class Act! Our 3rd was a retired AF pilot, he went over to the guy and just said Man I'm proud of what you did back there.. Just shows, not everyone's and A$$hole on the course and maybe the guys that just started when tiger didn't maybe learning the BIG PICTURE of golf. -P

I guess I should update this since I posted last 2-3 years ago: I'm now a Rational Clearcase/Clearquest Administrator & Software builder for the FAA.. now if I could only get paid for the job I'm doing -P

Excuse me sir but before you speak about my future ex-wife like that you should ask me if we are still married or not... :) Yeah man Anna's Awesome!

Phil "Steve-o how's the hammer?" Stevie "getting ready to kick your lumpy wanna be a$$" Phil "That's funny, your boy has 1 leg and hasn't played inalmost 300 days... how good could he be?" Stevie "The Best Ever!" Phil "but can he hit a 82* wedge like me?" Stevie "Doesn't need to he can close bitch!" Or something along those lines... we had abug in Phil's "man bag" and it was either that or something about how's smoking hot phil's wife is.. but not as hot as Tiger's :) Pete

If you search for "live stream" you can find it.. may not be a pga or legal stream but you can find it... or maybe i shouldn't have said that... Let's just say you can find pretty much anything you want as far as streams on the www. Pete

You need a desktop to maximize your gaming... You can build one or have one build for relatively cheap, I built my kid a pc for christmas for about 170.. I need to get a goo pci express video card to maximize his graphics, anyways, you can build a nice gaming machine for relatively cheap these days. Pete

I have the Cally x-forged, which I do like but ever since I hit them last year the Ping S58(9) just ring in my head... I believe the S's are more forgiving than the X's.. But should I just grin an bear it or should I go for the S's? I want the performance, but I think I need the S forgiveness... I'm a tortured soul..what ya think?
-
I loved the MX-23's, I hit them and was going ot buy them but let my buddy get them instead.. so I got the MP-30's which screwed me for over half of last season :( till I traded them for the x-forgeds I have. I really really really liked them, forgiving and good feel.
-
The new Ogio's are really really nice! They even have a replacement for the old rain cover that is awesome! I'd go ask for the NEW ogio's with the new rain cover, not to mention they just make great bags. I believe the bag will be the one without the snaps on the side... deffinately cool. Check this out: Kd3YLZhTho8

I never wore contacts till a few years ago, I had been playing in a mens hockey league and I just struggled to see the puck (I play D). I had an eye appt. and asked the dr. and he hooked me up, best thing I ever did! Now I ran out in the winter and just never got around to getting more, and I regret it. I hate playing with my glasses on. Pete

This is a great question, because I'm inthe wedge ??ing myself. I have a PW with X-forged that's 47, plus I have a 48* Vokey, a 52* Crappy, a 56*Mizzy and a 60* Titleist. I'm probably going to stay with the 48* instead of the PW, but I was debating what to dod form there.. got 52* 56* 60 or 52* 58*? Sorry for hijacking, but I'm searching for the same advice.

Is it worth having a Pro follow you on the course?
ripsid replied to Alex1's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I'd rather have a pro with me on the course than on the range, I'm a different golfer on the course than I am on the range. NOt to mention, when you hit those wonderful Range Balls you don't get a true account for your shots. I had a pro tell me "you can hit stones at the range or you could hit your Prov1x's and get a true assesment on the course." I can play good on the range and not good on the course... Pete -
I'm going to take new pictures tonight,,, my qwiver's changed so much in that last year that I needs to do it... OH, Dent... I really really love those S58's! Awesome! After deciding to give up on my mizzy mp-30's I was trying every club out there (used unfortunately) and loved these... GReat clubs. Pete

Welcome aboard Dan! I'm in South Jersey, so it's always nice to have another Jersey boy around (granted I'm older). Enjoy and love the game, work on the little things and the basics.. it will come in time, your young enough. If you can find a good teacher that's always a great place to start. Welcome to The Trap...and by Trap I mean this game of ours that is so addictive that I'm about in a 12 step program for it.. Pete
