  1. dhansen, thanks for the tip. Received mine on Saturday but had no idea that the center of the ball marker came out. Bright, bold colors on the front. I like it. THanks Matrix.
  2. You woudl like to giveaway Orange Whip apparel and I would like to win Orange Whip apparel. What a match!
  3. Erik, Is Scorecard compatible with Windows 8?
  4. I'm 54 and have never missed going to vote. Does my vote count? You bet it does, especially to me.
  5. Fast, I hate slow greens.
  6. Going back and forth right now between the Taylormade TP5 and the Wilson Duo. Really liking the Duo. Put it in play for our last club event this year and shot 81. Not bad for a 2 piece ball. Long off the tee and will hold the greens. Our greens are some of the smallest that I know of. They average 1,140 square feet. Average green on the PGA tour is around 6,500 square feet with Pebble Beach being some of the smallest at around 3,500 square feet. Hard to beat a ball that sell for $19.99, is long off the tee, low spin, soft off the putter and that has great greenside manners.
  7. Louisville Metro Parks has a pretty good annual pass for their courses. You cancheck them out at http://www.louisvilleky.gov/MetroParks/golf/ Woodhaven Country Club has some great deals on membership as well: http://www.woodhavencountryclub.org/ Heriatge Hill, Nevel Meade and several other local courses offer annual programs too. Good luck in your search.
  8. TangoDiesel, some great deals at local clubs in Louisville right now. Are you looking for just golf, golf and social, golf, social, and a pool? Let me know and I'll be glad to share my experience with some of the local clubs.
  9. Played the Z Star all through last year and never expected that I would be changing balls this year but that's what I've done. I'm now playing the Z Star XV and think it's even better than the Z Star. I don't think you'll be disappointed with any of their Z Star line. Haven't played anything other so I don't know about the Ad333 or the TriSpeed lines.
  10. The SGX is my third SkyCaddie upgrade and I absolutely love it. I know som prefer lasers and others prefer other brands of gps units but I have never had a single glitch with any of my SkyCaddie units.
  11. Shot 78 today with 2 double bogeys. Loving the new Srixon Z Star XV.
  12. Haven't played the 20XI S by I did play a sleeve of the 20XI X and I won't be buying anymore. I did not experience any distance gains at all off the driver. I did like the ball off my irons and didn't really have a problem stopping the ball on the green but I gain nothing from playing the 20XI over the Srixon Z Star VX.
  13. Gorilla Gold which is a grip enhancer. Helps keep your hands dry and make your grips tacky. Works great in humid climates and in the rain.
  14. I play the Lexington tour. Played the Golf Channel Am Tour in 2009. Friend of mine invited me play the Golfweek Am Tour (eGolf Tour at the time) and I haven't played another Golf Channel event since then. Our tour director is top notch and we outstanding participation on the regular and senior tour. Highly recommend Golfweek to anyone interested in playing competitive golf outside their club or home course.
  15. Rumor has it that Sandra Day O'Conner plays at Augusta 5 days a week.
  16. Here's a link to over 30 pages of posts relating to SeeMore putter testing. I was one of the testers. The RST used by SeeMore is the real deal.
  17. For casual play I keep 6 balls in the bag. For tournament play I put one dozen brand new balls in the bag. Will change them out as needed during a tournament. I have 12 dozen new tournament balls in the house and probably close to a thousand loose balls of assorted brands.
  18. Don't know of any places in Kentucky that just allow public access. We certainly have places that have them but they are put into use for club fittings, etc., not just out on the range.
  19. Trousers. As long the temperature doesn't get over 60. 60 and above means shorts.
  20. I've hit 2 shots off the tee that went into the hole and both were on a par 3 course. We have a regulation course at our club and also a par 3 course. Aced number 2 and number 7. Did I put a 1 down on the scorecard, yes I did. Am I proud of those shots? Yes, I am. Would I have preferred them to be on the regulation course, yes I would but I'll take them anyway I can get them.
  21. Too many other balls that are a better value and perform as well for me. Have been playing the Z Star since early 2010 and think it's one of the best all around balls I have personally ever played but am very disappointed that Srixon has raised the price on the Z Star's this year to equal the Pro V series at $45.99. May be going back to the Penta as I feel it is also an excellent ball and I can get them off the shelf for $39.99. Have been really trying to like the Bridgestone B-330RX but it just isn't working it's way into bag. $40.00 is my price point right now. Would pay $75.00 for a dozen if the gave me an extra 20 yards, had the durability of the Z Star, and the spin of a Penta.
  22. I lose a ball every 5-8 rounds. Rare for me to lose a ball anywhere other than in the water.
  23. Z-STAR XV The new Z-STARxv golf ball's proprietary urethane cover is the thinnest and the softest in the premium market producing an excellent combination of distance and spin. The new four-piece dual Energetic Gradient Growth core provides the best distance in a premium offering while maintaining low spin to optimize driver performance. The Z-STARxv is offered in Pure White and Tour Yellow for added visual performance. HOW IT COMPARES Between the two Z-STAR balls, the Z-STARxv is a more distance oriented tour performance ball which returns less spin off the driver creating longer more penetrating ball flights. The ball feels slightly firmer, but does not sacrifice feel and control around the greens. Overall, this ball maximizes its performance when played by golfers who have a driver swing speed greater than 95mph . This listing from the Bridgestone site quotes 95 mph driver swing speed. IIRC reading the back of the box for the Z Star XV it states that the XV works best for 105mph driver swing speed. Z Star info is "The Z-STAR is a high-performance multilayered ball with low compression and extremely soft feel. This offering is the softer of the two Z-STAR balls which provides exceptional feel around the greens and distance control with the putter. This ball performs best with driver swing speeds between 80mph and 105 mph.
  24. Have only had a chance to use mine for 2 rounds so far. First impressions are that it's an all around better driver than my Callaway FT-IZ. Misses are better, I was able to adjust the loft setting to gain a few yards, my misses are better, and my drives are farther than with the Cally. Very happy with the R11.
  25. brn2golf, Here are 2 TPI instructors who may be near you: John DeBlasis 1 304 243 3307 jdeblasis@wheelinghospital.org Wheeling Hospital 3D Motion System: Inertial Sensors Medical Park Wheeling WV, 26003 TPI CGFI-MP2, DPT, MS, ATC Jonathan Walton 304-640-5131 jonboy307@hotmail.com N/A 3D Motion System: Optical Sensors 600 Johnny Joe Circle Summersville WV, 26651 TPI CGFI, D.C.
