Have you really been only playing a couple of weeks as was able to shoot 80's?? If so then thats damn good!

Does she have a sister or a friend who likes to golf as much as she does?

Best way to play a tournament.. Just treat it like a regular round of golf.. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I always set my goal to just shoot my handicap and things always work themselves out.. When your goal is to shot lower than our handicap you'll put too much pressure on yourself and your swing will just go to $ht! Good luck though.. I love playing in tournaments..

Lol I make practice swings as well when I'm out and about with my wife.. She just laughs at me and thinks I'm weird.. To op.. I gave up the playing basketball, flag football and video games.. I use to be super addicted to video games and my wife would get pissed at me and would tell me to get out of the house and do something. Got Addicted to golf and now she wants me home more playing video games.. Funny how that works.. I guess I have this addictive personality and she hates how I just can't do it in moderation.. Go hard or go home though right!

I took my driver out earlier this yeah when I noticed I always struggled on holes I dont drive well.. My handicap went from 19 down to 14 just because of that.. I hit my 3W pretty consistent and it keeps me out of trouble and i'm hitting fairways a lot more.. Golf is a lot easier in the short grass.. I do want to start hitting my driver again. So I can at least try and attack par 5s or those long par 4s.. I think next year I will get lessons solely on my driver swing..

Played in my very first 2 day tournament this past weekend. I'm a 14 HC but they had me at 17 since they based everybodies HC from the blacks.. I shot great during the 1st day! Had 4 birdies but still ended up shooting an 85.. Had some doubles and triples that really ruined the score.. But i was still in good position to get in the money being -4 from my HC.. Then 2nd day I was doing fine til #8 came.. It was Par 3 about 157 yards.. Water in front and water on the left.. Needed at least 140 to carry the green.. Decided to go with a chocked down 7 with a nice and easy swing.. First shot pulled it to the right and splash! 2nd ball at the drop zone was 108... Short with my PW! 3rd ball again short with my PW! Moved up to about 57 yards and 4th ball short with my SW! finally 5th ball was able to get on the green and 2 putt for an 11! Tin cup moment! lol.. Ended up shooting a 97! Kinda recovered during the back 9 but also had trouble with another par 3 that had hazards.. Had to take 2 balls off the tee again! Sigh... Ended up +5 strokes from finishing in the money! Oh well still had a great time though.... Its just a game right?

Its his stank eye!

I think you're over thinking things.. If you end up not becoming friends because of golf then ya'll were never that good of friends to begin with.. Just take it as a normal round of golf with your buddy.. It sounds like you really dont talk much during the round when its competition.. I would do the talking before hand and just do your thing after you tee off...

I have a lot golf buddies and seems like golfers in general who are so eager to get that ace. Don't get me wrong and 1 is nice to see in that score card but what's the point when you fail to break 100! I remember getting my first eagle how happy and excited I was to put that 3 on my scorecard but then I look at first hole(eagle was on the 2nd hole) and I saw my double bogey! So pretty much I started par par! Then my very next hole I get a triple! I would've rather had started par par par than getting that eagle! So which would you guys rather do first if you haven't already done it. Or if you have done it which would you have rather than first..

Standard 3 wood are 15*.. if your 3 wood is like a 13* then I would probably looking into getting a 15* one..

Yes they do.. I'm not familiar with any GC here in my area that doesn't allow you to walk in the weekends.. I'm guessing you get that on some of the courses you play at?

Nope! 19*= 3 iron 22*= 4 iron.. the only thing your missing is a putter and a driver! ;)

Guess you're the only one that feels that way! Thanks for the input! I figures that was the case with carts not being in the green.. I saw it a few times playing with some other guys and saw that they did that..

Just wondering what your thoughts are on this? I'm kinda tight with budget and try to save money as much as I can. Most courses I play at charge a cart fee of $14 to ride a cart for 18 holes. Doesn't seem much but as much as I like to golf that $14 can go towards green fees! I'm playing with 3 other guys tomorrow who more than likely will ride but I would really like to just walk.. I'm a pretty fast walker and have a push cart. I have other friends who get kinda annoyed when i walk.. They think i'm holding them back because I'm walking. Whats funny is this friend is like a 25+ handicap and is always looking for his ball in the woods and water! Oh kinda a 2 part question/thread. Is it ok for me to put my push cart on the green? I usually don't but i've seen this a couple of times with some people that I get paired up with who roll their push carts on the green or through it.. I always just go around it but there are times its convenient to go through the green with my push cart..

I'm a 15 handicap and when I started golfing a year ago I would just use the golf balls that I found on the course never thinking it won't really make any difference with my game.. I became really curious a out seeing if playing brands new balls would make a difference in my game but just couldn't get myself to spend $20 on a decent ball.. I'm a golfer on a budget and would rather play golf than buy new balls.. I was still using lost balls until about a month ago when I found a the tommy armour 3 piece evo balls that were on sale at sports authority,$10 for 15 balls.. I was like what the heck! $10 isn't bad plus I had a gift card there so I might as well try it.. Well after playing around with them I don't think I'll ever play any other balls other than Tommie's as of right now.. The ball goes straight and bites with the best of them.. I've used pro v1/v1x, bridgestones, nikes and callaway and can tell you this is the balls I hit best. The ball is a great price as well! $10 for 15 of them so it won't hurt to try them!
