Here's just one such link. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=38213 I stand behind my previous statements.

The story behind everything...what's in your bag?
ugapug5150 replied to lamebums's topic in Golf Talk
Driver: Saw the Hibore in the store for 70.99 - I figured what did I have to lose. It's been a major improvement over the old one (when I swing it right). 3-Wood: It was like 40 bucks and a WRX club - I love how compact the head is and when I swing it right it absolutely CRUSHES the ball. Irons: The owner of the course said "Check these out - I got them in on trade (he knows I like Ping). It was much too good of a price to pass up. Wedges: Bought the 52 to replace my old ISI - suddenly I could make shots around the green, so I bought the 58 too. Putter: I bought a Ping G2i B60 used and it just didn't work for me. My uncle liked it so much he got me the NC to replace it - and he's lights out with the Ping so I think he likes the deal he made. -
I have made a vow that if I"m ever at a PGA event and whomever says that is within the reach of my fist, I"m going to punch him just as hard as I can.

I would have probably shoved my camera down his obnoxious, oh my GOD did you really leave the house dressed like that, prima donna pie-hole.

Two. Never Compromise #5 Milled and an old Nicklaus putter that's probably 30 years old. I'm probably going to get a Circa '62 #3 if I can find a good used one in gun blue.

Tiger's better than Bobby Jones now too? Ha. Jones played phenomenal golf with sticks with essentially a garden spade lashed to them.

Ah, to be young and brainwashed by the liberal media. Yep, everything bad is George W.'s fault. Never mind that the corrupt government of Louisiana failed to fix the levees for 4 decades, the governor of Louisiana dragged around putting out the SOS for help, and Ray Nagin left school buses sitting in the bus yards when he could've bused folks out. It's all Bush's fault. Never mind that there actually WERE weapons of mass destruction found (bet you haven't seen that on CNN). Never mind that Saddam Hussein violated every U.N. sanction. Never mind that. It's all Bush's fault. If lying, arrogant douchebags like Michael Moore are what it means to be a modern Democrat, sign me up for the Right, please.

I have a Columbia jacket. With the zip in fleece liner it's a very warm jacket, and if I take the liner out it's still pretty comfortable. It's waterPROOF, which is a big jump up from water RESISTANT. I spent a night waiting in line for an Xbox 360 in a light drizzle and was as dry as a bone while others around me were miserable. Without the liner it's not too bulky to play golf in. Pants weren't as important to me, just enough material to keep me from getting soaked through.

Went out today and walked 18. I shot 99 - which is the first time I have broken 100. I am so stoked!
-
I mark the putting line on my V1Xs with an FSU spear. I hate initial markings on balls like some stupid people do.
-
Whistle while you swing. If you can keep whistling smoothly your tempo is fine. It helped me to stop snatching the club on the takeaway.

Best deal on a golf club you've ever found?
ugapug5150 replied to Hank's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Ping ISI-S 2-PW, SW and SW3 condition 9/10 with new Golf Pride grips and a Ping Staff bag for $200.00. -
Personally, I'd like it if the guy scores under 100 just so he can get on national tv and say "Suck it, Tiger!"

Joined a local golf course the other day. I added up all the rounds I've paid for in the last 3 months and it's a bargain.

All Clones Bad - Hard for me to believe.

I saw some PineMeadow clubs at Academy the other day. That would explain why I'm seeing them more and more around here. -
Had to go with Ping.

Butch Harmon put it best, almost as an afterthought on one of his instructional DVDs: "...and of course, Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer this game has ever seen..." I think I'll go with his opinion (since it's mine as well). Is Tiger the greatest golfer of THIS generation? Certainly. Is he "better than Jack ever was?" I don't think so. I grew up watching Jack play. Quite frankly, the only reason he doesn't have more majors to his name is the fact that he took quite a bit of time off to spend with his family. He took a lot of heat for it at the time, but it only makes me respect his accomplishments more.

I second the craigslist suggestion. If you could spend around 450-500, I'd say head to Best Buy as they had some good closeout/clearance models this week. As far as the wireless, I would upgrade to a G router, as they hold a signal better than the B will. You can even pick up an N spec router for 100 bucks now.

I'm sure I could find a bunch of things to make fun of
-
Umm.... Jack was a conditioned athlete. If the only time you've ever seen him play was the Masters Par 3 this year, let's just say he has put on weight and leave it alone. Still had his swing though
-
No hard feelings - it's ok. I know you didn't mean anything by it.

That's the problem with the Internet. Would you crack on a complete stranger's game on the course? No, you wouldn't (unless they were walking and you were driving by in your car :D ) As for telling folks to lighten up: I laugh at myself all the time. (It keeps me from crying). I think I just perceived the chart as laughing AT golfers with a high handicap rather than WITH us. Perhaps I was overreacting. It's just the teacher in me. Beginners of any activity don't do well when others emphasize their flaws without offering advice on how to fix said flaws.
-
Your wild generalizations are insulting. That's what we have a problem with. I know my deficiencies as a golfer, and I don't need you to belittle my game. When you were a high handicapper did you appreciate low handicappers insulting you?
-
So, by your classification system we should add "Pompous ass" to the 5-10 handicap range?
