We were stuck behind a slow group of 5 the other day (4 adults and 1 small child who was playing every shot). It was annoying and we got a little mad, but none of us were ready to fight over it. Anyway, the small child forgot one of his clubs on a green, so my friend drove it up to them on the next tee box and casually said "did yall forget a club?", obviously he knew it was their's but still. The guy walked up and said "well from the looks of it, yes, its ours", as he pointed at the kid. He didnt even say thank you. So not only were they slow and refused to let us play through, they were rude and arrogant.

Yeah, I use brand name stuff. But I have two wedges (59 degree and 53 degree) that are Solus that I'll never get rid of. Yes, I'm sure Cleveland and Titleist Vokey are better, but I'm so used to these Solus wedges that I have I'll never want to get rid of

Just bought a TaylorMade White Smoke for 99$ and I like it a lot. It has more "pop" than my Scotty Cameron. Thing about a putter is it's all about feel, so if you can hit a 300 dollar Scotty well then hit it, or if you can hit a flat wooden stick that you found on the ground then hit that haha.

I have a 59 degree Solus wedge I'll never get rid of. It's my go-to club for literally everything 90 yards and in (used to hit it farther, but for some reason I cant now). I dont know if it's just that I'm very familiar with it, or if it's a great club? Either way I dont really care haha.

Absolutely. Because of time I usually can only fit in 9, sometimes a couple more. Even when I was playing nearly every day I played only 9 most of the time, and my best score was 82 (shooting +2 on the front, +8 on the back). Some of that was me thinking I might actually break 80, some was just being used to only concentrating physically and mentally for 9 holes at a time.

My last year in college I did my English paper on the drug war, and I was pretty amazed of what all I found out. I researched a lot of different sources and saw that a small part of Arizona was taken over by the drug cartel (yes, American soil). The local law enforcement said they were out-manned and out-gunned and really couldn't do anything about it. Why hasn't the government (state and federal) done anything about it? Also, saw that the drug cartel have many, many guns (obviously), but they get 85% (I believe that was the number) from the United States. They don't just have pistols and semi-automatic assault rifles, they also have anti-aircraft missles (yes, anti-aircraft missles). That, to me, is pretty intimidating. The drug cartel are much, much more powerful than our federal government give them credit for. It really is affecting Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California a lot and in very drastic ways, along with the rest of America, yet the federal government has done literally nothing to help out. I believe until the entire United States of America are affected the way the four southwest states are nothing will be done. It will just be looked at as a small problem because it's affecting only four states so they have other things to worry about, but it's still affecting all other states drug-wise. While TX, NM, AZ, and CA are mainly the only ones seeing all of the violence (which there is A LOT), until other states than just the four encounter it I'm afraid nothing will be done.

New to the site. Went to the golf store looking for 1. Irons 2. Driver 3. Fairway woods 4. Wedges. Putter was no where on the priority list by the way. First store I went to didnt have what I wanted (I was looking for last years Burner Irons or last years Burner driver, all they had were this year clubs). Tried the TaylorMade RBZ Irons and Driver and just didnt like them for some reason. So I drove the extra 40 miles to Golfsmith and tried the SuperFast Burner 2.0 and after the first swing I was sold. I've played two rounds with it and it has shaved 8-10 strokes off (went from 92-95 to shooting 84 and 85). Had no idea that my drives were holding my game back that much. Also, I really liked the price of the new Taylor Made White Smoke putter, so i gave in a bought it. I putted much better with it today than yesterday, overall I think I'm going to like it but still getting used to it. Probably shouldve saved the money and waited on the irons that I desperately need but you know how going into a golf store with money in your pocket can be.
