  2. 2 c. A co-worker of mine busted his shoulder breaking up a dogfight in the fall of 2012. He had surgery two weeks later (and of course a vet’s bill). I don’t remember most of the details but after going through therapy all winter, and missing his two annual winter golf trips to Florida, his doctor cleared him to return to the game around May. His first several rounds he Tee’d up his ball on every shot except putts, to avoid hitting the ground. I’ve never played with him, as he’s much better than I am, but he’s a great guy to talk Golf with. Best wishes on your recovery. ~Tom B.
  3. Merry Christmas to all Sand Trappers, Thanks for all the great reads this season!
  4. I'm playing Tuesday, 30* to 40*. I know not a record setter, but the wind could be anywhere from a light breeze to ridiculous... down at the shore. Then over the holiday's, we're down in North Carolina. Who knows? 30's to 70's. Then we're back in Ct. and it's at the indoor place until spring. ~Tom B.
  5. You know, that's worth a try for me, so no laughter here! I work outside for a living and wear leather work gloves all the time. So only wearing a single Golf glove, regardless of sweat, heat etc. just doesn't feel right. I go through two pairs a year, this might just be my answer. I'm not out there to make an fashion statement anyway. Next week when I get paid is "Oil Change day" so I'll be at Autozone anyway. I'll take a look at them, too bad I think my season is basically over for this year. Thanks... ~Tom B.
  6. Done, I think I've signed ~Tom B. on many of my posts already anyway. My 3 sisters & 2 Bros. in laws still call me Thomas, which is fine, But "Tommy" is like Nails on a Chalkboard to me.
  7. I had taken a teriffic photo of a stand bag in the center of Grand Central Station, N.Y. But the phone s#it the bed a week later. Lost every thing...
  8. Water/ Budweiser. I don't drink soda's, they do me bad.
  9. Between 10.00 & 11.00, Mon. through Thursday. If the Mrs. has to work on a Saturday, she gets a Comp. day off during the week. She gets to sleep a little late, we go out for Breakfast, and usually have a crock pot going for dinner. That's our golf day's together, usually ruined by little white balls. If it's just with the guy's though, I let them decide, it's usually earlier. When She's in the cart with me, games usually are "a date day" even when we play with the boy's. When I'm out the the guy's only, I am a little more serious and focused. We all avoid Friday and weekends at all costs. The gang and I are lucky, that we have flexibility at our jobs to make this happen.
  10. Welcome... I grew up in Scarsdale!
  11. So I guess no one so far lives with a Certified New England Flower Show Judge. I do. And since I play about 85% of my rounds with her, I can tell you it adds about one half hour to my total "Golfing Experience" for the entire day, and it starts at the parking lot and Clubhouse. I don't really care that the ( Place any Latin Term you wish here ) plant needs more Nitrogen... I guess I probably do also! What does that have to do with why we're loading up a golf Cart? Oh, Really they are infested with ( Place any Latin Term you wish here ) bugs? Who cares, they live out side. Yes dear, I won't get any one me... Sweetest, Yes, you've explained to me that Plant Selection, Orientation, Presentation and possibly Mitigation (?) are all very important, but what does that have to do with our club selection??? We're both in the Fairway.... way over there! And then, when she goes on a business trip she'll remind me that if one particular house plant starts to wilt a little bit all the others need watering too. I'm really wanting to ask if I can use boiling water. (Just kidding!) Well it's time to go out and cut the grass. She's got plants out side that I need to be carefull of... "To mow, or not to mow. That is the question"...
  12. I agree, that they have to play the course as we do... NO professional Caddy pre walking and getting yardages prior to the round, finding the trouble spots. Hand them a card with the pretty little pictures and find out that the little pond over the hill really takes up most of the center of the fairway. Give them some local High School Football player to carry their bag for 4 or so hours, who's only been on a golf course to go "Sleigh riding"! My question is allowing the use of GPS/ Range finders? And then that leads to whether or not to have colored flags denoting "front- middle or back" hole locations. We all know that Pros, both guys and girls can read greens and Putt, Take away all the additional info. Find out the hard way that you didn't want to hit your ball there. I think that Par would be broken, but not stupid low. I think the round would become a Chipping Fest, and possibly sloppy, but fun to watch. Interesting Idea, I think it would be a great fore-mat for a Pro Charity event!
  13. 4: Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Virginia. Planning to add North and/or South Carolina this coming Holiday's.
  14. I voted 2. I have only played in the States, But my Girlfriend played in Malaysia three years ago while doing her "two weeks" for the NAVY reserves. She bought a reaaly nice Course shirt for me, but once I washed it, it shrank and now she wears it.
  15. Not really one spot, but on one course on one weekend. It was January 2012, and I got to play all weekend at a NAVY Base where the 2nd, 3rd and 9th holes have a fence line down the right side separating the course from railroad tracks. I essentially had the course to myself all weekend so I could take my time and started to pull out my ball retriever when I was on those holes and collect balls from the other side of the fence. Total take for the weekend was 45 balls of every kind. Most of them were in great shape and the ones that weren't, I tossed out on the driving range. I get to play there two or three times a year, all weekend long and the best part of that trip, was that it was the second time there was a nice little sign on the clubhouse door saying "Golf is Free this weekend!"
