  1. depends on the weather... in the cold, i prefer to walk and carry my bag so i can stay warm, but in the extreme heat i prefer to ride.

  3. king cobra 454 comp. i love the club overall; i had to adjust my swing a bit for it, but now that i am used to it, it works great. pros: i am able to acheive good distance, and control cons: after trying out a few other drivers such as the nike sumo... something about it does not seem as smooth as the nike sumo. The nike just seemed to automatically go back on the correct swing path. I guess this would not be a good club for a beginner. overall i can't complain though, because it works for me!
  4. i just remembered this one day, i had quite a buzz. i went out and sunk this 30 foot putt... but then after that, i managed to send a few less than 6 foot putts sailing past the hole; probably farther away then where they started. the wonders of "party golf"...
  5. golf has to be one of the few sports, where you can have a few beers; and it can potentially help your performance... so my question for all of you: how does alcohol affect your game? Do you feel it helps you, or hinders you? For me; sometimes it does wonders. Actually; i used to have a hard time hitting my driver straight. One day i was out on the course, had a little alcohol in me, and it helped me figure out what was missing in my swing. The relaxation helped me have a more smooth swing, that allowed me to change my slice into a nice fade. But at the same time; obviously there is a limit. If i don't pace myself, then it starts to go downhill...
  6. that's the way it should be; the right arm is there to guide the left. It's just like in baseball; when you swing a bat, your left hand is what really gives you all your power.
  7. if you don't want to get a membership at a club, then the only options i see are: 1. going to the range and practicing all the time or 2. paying to play at public courses....
  8. I think it's annoying when people do it during competition, when posting scores, and when betting. If it's just a practice round, or playing around with friends, then its fine w.me
  9. how does the winter affect your personal golf game. I have heard some people say that they think they play better in the winter. Me personally; i can not swing the ball with anything more than a polo, and underarmor, so if it's less than 45-50 degrees out, i can not swing very well at all. I notice that i lose distance on alot of my shots; but on very cold days i get much more roll. how does winter affect your game?
  10. my most bizzare shot was from about 100 yards to the pin on a par 4. It was my second shot, and i hit the ball way too far. It hit the flag in the air, and dropped within a very close distance to the hole.
  11. Mine was one day when i was playing in a scramble. It was me (i am a girl) and these two guys, playing against a foursome of 3 guys and a girl. We came up to the ninth hole, and figured that we would need to birdie the hole in order to win the scramble. The two guys that i was playing with teed off and both hit bad shots. The pressure was on me! Somehow i hit a perfect drive, within 100 yards of the pin. Then, on the second shot, both of my teammates hit the ball on the green, but definitely not close to the pin. I hit my second shot, and it almost went in the hole for an eagle. We ended up birdie-ing the hole, and it turned out we didn't need to in order to win... but i was just excited that i kicked ass under that type of competitive pressure.
  12. I started when i was 16. I applied for a job at my local golf course because i thought that driving golf carts was like the coolest job in the world. A couple of my friends worked there too, and they convinced me to go out and play golf, and even gave me a set of old clubs. I remember the 1st time i played, it was so frustrating, because it took so much patience. But that day started an addiction, because by the end of that summer i was out playing everyday! I think golf is more addictive than cigarettes.
  13. I'd say chunk. I usually chunk the ball when the grass is wet, and i am chipping from a distance of less than 50 yard. It's so frustrating, because you just know that if the ground had been a little harder, you would have just had a perfect shot. And it's even more frustrating when you chunk it a second or third time right after that!
  14. 190-200 ish (i am female by the way)
  15. i think it was about a 110, on my home course. i just could not keep the ball in bounds to save my life...
