  1. The Ryder Cup is competition not an exhibition. Even if it was an exhibition where is the pride in doing your best. Did Jack, Arnie, and Lee have losing records?
  2. I wonder how many could have practiced till they were better and win? I think Tiger could have reached another level or two higher if he needed to do that to win. I have read that Jack only practed his short game just enough to win. He had back problems.
  3. If a player can't produce a winning record in 3 ryder cups he shouldn't play. All he does is put points on the European side of the scoreboard. We have used 3 of the greatest stroke play players of today and each one has had total losing records. What would our Ryder cup record be if Tiger, Phil and Jim had each one produced one more win point than losses each year. Transfer three points from the european score to the American side.
  4. I hate the guy with the high speed cart who races to his ball that is 30 yards in front of mine. And then he sits in his cart between me and the green. And waits for me to hit my shot over him.
  5. What you and I think should be is right is not necessarily what will happen in court. The law is not clear so that lawyers can make a living. And the situation can be an invitation to a court case. You don't go to court without a lawyer and a simple court case can cost $5000 to $10,000 in legal fees. That's why I have golf liability insurance. It doesn't cost much and also covers mishaps with golfers and the golf cart.
  6. The worst is: 1. Trying to enforce incorrect penalty's on other players. 2. Trying to force me to make swing changes. 3. Driving ahead of me and stopping so I have to hit past your cart. 4. Unsolicited coaching.
  7. I have heard and read many wise answers to your question. Some may sound silly, but they are correct. 1. Always pursue your dreams while you are young. 2. Your destiny lies down the road of your dream and hard work. 3. It will have real hard times, but real progress always comes after frustration. 4. Life is tough and it takes hard work to achieve anything of merit. 5. Don't wake up when you are older wishing you had tried.
  8. I like to play as a single in orderto get paired up with strangers, just to make new friends. IT is surprising how many people get mad if someone behind them plays faster than they do. It is shocking how many people take it as an insult if you play right behind them. and they wont invite them to play through unless the alpha players in their foursome suggests it. It is kinda funny, to watch men's reactions when a foursome of women are playing faster behind them.
  9. .83 COR is only measured at a swing speed of 90 MPH. Who knows what COR Bubba, Dustin, and Jason have available at their swing speeds of over 115 mph. This is the day of technology, who knows what COR's are created by designers at taylor made and ping for pros who swing at high swing speeds, when a driver creates a .83 at 90 mph. for all we know "long drivers" could have CORs that are way higher than we normal players get with the same driver. there are no figures available showing the COR for professional golfers who swing at over 115mph. Players who drive the ball over 300 yards don't need CORs over .83 . Test drivers at all swing speeds. 80, 90, 100, 110, to 150.
  10. Went to my dentist today and asked if todays bill was the same amount as the insurance companies paid them. They told me I was lucky to pay a higher price because the lower price the insurance companies paid was because of all the advertising they do for the dentists. Their name is in the list of participating doctors and dentists. I feel disrespected. I asked if the practice pays their employees 66% higher than the going rate. They didn't like my question. I didn't get the procedure done and am looking for another dentist. Am I wrong?
  11. I found the easiest way to consistently drive a pro v1 over 450 yards. All I had to do was get in my golf cart and drive over 450 yards and drop the ball where I said it would go.
  12. I have wanted to replace my Titliest 762 irons, my original cobra bafflers, and cleveland XL driver. But I got fitted too good and cannot find anything that I hit better than what I have. I compare them by hitting one after another and also 5 shot groups and ten shot groups. Statistically I can find new equipment that matches my old equipment but nothing that is any better. I would like to get new equipment but I think it is a waste of money to spend all that money for nothing better than I already have.
  13. I am thinking about buying a Galvin Green jacket at http://www.premiumgolf.co.uk/golf-ga...yerGoreTex.htm They have four jackets, Alfred, Argus, Austin, & Abraham. Does anything have any experience with Galvin Green gore tex. and could advise me. So far I want something with a full zipper, easy to play in, and is warmer in cold, windy, rainy weather. Are they easy to care for? And I would also like to get pants. Do sizes run the same as in the US I use XL. Are they better than Zero Restriction and Dry joys. Also is there any problems with using a credit card from USA to buy in the UK.
  14. With the cost of flying and extra fees for taking your clubs. Does anyone make two golf bags that will fit side by side in a hard travel case or a golf glove case?
