well I took you guys advice to heart and really tried to manage the course better instead of just going at everthing.Man has it payed off my last two rounds have been in the 70's,I shot a 79 and today I shot a 76 granted the courses I play are not the hardest one in the world but pretty average.If I keep my head on straight and keep practicing and course management I should only get better,just wish I could play more...................................

What do you guys think about playing a par 3 at least once a week and hit 2 or 3 balls,I pass by one on my way home from work everyday and it is cheaper than my driving range does anyone else do this

david in florida I think you are right I am not a great putter but I leave to much green between me and the cup
-
by the way I hardly ever have the doubles and triples,I just get on that bogey train sometimes and cant get off it........
-
you guys are saying just what I have been thinking for some time now,its just good to hear it from fellowgolfers and thats why I joined this forum.As for what handicap I want to get to I am not sure,If I could just get in the single digits I guess that would be about as far as I want to take it not sure I guess Ill know when it gets to be too much pressure.And about the better players so guys I play with are about the same as me but some are not very good and never want to be they are just in it for the fun I will always play with them but I do understand what you are saying but I will live with this part of it.

By the way do you guys ever have a bad round and if so what is the average score and how often?

Thanks for all the replies,yes I think practice is just about as fun for me as golf itself.So when I go to the range after figuring what I need to work on should I maybe only take those clubs and work on that distance instead of just beating ball through the sky.And some of the people I play with are not very good but really good company if you know what I mean,so I think no competition factor lets me try to go at some of them sucker pins and take risky shots that being my fault not theirs.I will just practice more and basicly just tighten up my game and I think it will come.
-
Ill just keep hacking at it,and practice as much as possible and I will keep better track of my game to see were I need the most improvement thanks
-
they could be some better but not too bad,right around the green I am pretty good and confident.I would say from around a hundred I could use some work to get them a little closer to give shorter putts.And I do work on that as much as I can thats why I ask if I should just keep hammering at it and it will come or is there some other secret.

And I dont mean the big hair bands,I am talking about all year long and the end of last year I have been shot in the low to mid 80's just about everywhere I golf.Dont get me wrong I have had 3 or 4 off games were I will shot in the 90's.The courses I usually play courses in the 110 to 120 slope not realhard courses but just about all I have around me.Just wondering what I can do to shave a few more strokes off or should I just keep playing and see what comes of it.

I was wondering about the Izzo and golf buddy so thanks for the good info guys

Is there any of the gps systems that you dont have to pay the yearly subscription

How many people use only there pitching wedge from a 100 yards in and chipping around the green,or has everone gone with all the wedges.I have tried the wedge route and jst didn't do as good,when I started playing years ago there was not all the wedges of today so I just learned the feel part of the game
-
We will be driving but will be limited on room.Can you rent clubs at the orange county courses sure you can but just asking.I have heard about ocn several times so far so if anyone else has got anything let me know thanks so far
-
Me and my family are going to Disney world this June,has anyone played golf on any of their courses and if so can yuo suggest one over the other.And when I go should I take my own clubs or rent some there I will only be playing golf 1 time so not sure it would be worth the space it would take to take my own.....
-
Just wondering if there are any par 3 courses around you and if so you can pkay them for about the same as a session at the range and really work on your short game and have the advantage of putting also.I am going to start that this summer and see if it helps,all you have to do is ussually carry a 6,wedge and putter.You can stop after work 1 or 2 days a week and see if it helps,that is if you have any around you......

I think that on this show the best golfers are already gone and it is just a bunch of pricks on there now spoiled rich kids.Boy I hope no one ever walks up behind Blake when he hits a bad shot which is ever shot just about,he will kill them with his club
-
Played in one today and played like shit just like I always do in scrambles is it just me or what?
-
I play in them all the time as well and know about the cheating and just have fun with them.What no one has mentioned is how bad they are for your game if you are like most people(maybe just me) if one of the guys I am play with hits the fairway well by god it's a green light to try and let one fly,and you already know what comes next a really long cart ride or lost ball.To me they are bad for my game,if I could go first everytime it may be better and like someone else said if the putt is made before you putt maybe you should putt out anyway if your not holding people up.Having said all this I play in about 6 or 7 a year mostly for charity and have a ball doing it and never expect to win much.

Do you have to use shaft epoxy or is there some other epoxy that you can get from a hardware store that will work just the same? I dont have a golf store very close to me.And another question is can the shafts be cut down for my son to use on the club end,planned to cut them off to were they step up in size looks like about 5 inches or so
