  1. My "love" for Ping started with my first bag. A Ping stand bag. This was about 20 years ago. Right now i own a set of G5 irons. G10 1W, 3W and 21* Hybrid. Along with my Anser 4 putter.
  2. Im pretty fit. And quit smoking a month ago. It was about 100 degrees today. I walked and carried 18 today. Not only was i not tired at the end. I shot my best round of the year.
  3. My drives. And with the "simple" help of this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqHMmMLW9J0 Im hitting them super straight. Its almost scary. For weeks ive been missing every fairway. In the woods, all over the place. Ive spent the past week at the range bombing balls down the middle. Playing tomorrow for the first time. Im about a 20 hcp. I totally expect to score much better tomorrow. We shall see. As always putting. Find my self on the practice green all the time.
  4. Here is my GREAT idea for making the game quicker. When your ready, hit your shot. I played with a buddy and two strangers the other day. They would stop and wait for each other or us to get to our ball and hit it. Just go to your ball. If your not in the way that is. Ready golf. Takes minutes off each hole. BRILLIANT! Unless your on the green.
  5. Stuff tastes nasty IMO
  6. This is a joke right? WATER!

  8. I cut my right pointer finger at work a few weeks ago. Went out the next day with a bandaid on that finger. Played one of my best rounds of the season. It was a cut where i couldnt really bend that finger much. Weird.

  10. You can get it here http://www.tgw.com/customer/category/product.jsp?SUBCATEGORY_ID=22580
  11. Never. I only carry 5-PW (and two other wedges). Anything 200+ I just whip out the trusty hybrid.
  12. A set of spikes for my shoes.
  13. Your irons "Great for sweet-spot hits," this baby "works the ball like a forgiving blade," but "mis-hits are harsh." "Fat shots end up short and thinned ones can run twice the intended distance" on this "attractive," "great feeling," "solid," "distance hitter." It's "better for low to mid handicappers," which explains why so many reviewers lamented that they "are not skilled enough to deserve them." If +8 in 9 holes is your best round ever those dont sound like the clubs meant for you. Just saying.
  14. Or how about courses that have no website at all! I
  15. I spend a lot of time just going to the course and pitching and putting........ or well i try too. Because after 10 minutes of hearing people tee off behind me i go and pay, and play. I hit the range once a week. And play at least twice a week. Today i played, went home, back out to pitch and putt. Tomorrow night range. Friday pitch and putt. Saturday play. Repeat! Actually Monday i have an appointment with golftec for an analysis (lesson, i think). I may be in the market for a fitting. And could use some professional help while im at it.
  16. I hit the ball 300 the other day. Granted it was down hill. But i would never say i hit 300 consistently. More like 240. And hope it goes straight.
  17. Waiting for my signed copy of his "new" album comes. Imports...........
  18. Not one media outlet or person that has played it at E3 has complained about the controller. They all say it feels great. Not worried.
  19. Nintendo announced their new console yesterday. And im tickled by the idea of a golf game on it These are just tech games, like Wii Sports. But imagine the possibilities 2:30 In other video game golf news Hot Shots Golf for the PS3 is getting Move Support this summer. Love those games! http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2011/06/08/hot_shots_ps3_move_and_3d/
  20. My friend has a set of custom clubs. He spent upwards of 2k on them. So i have to ask What is the going rate on a fitted set of clubs? I have Ping G5 irons and G10 woods i got off shelves. In total i spent about 800. How much to get fitted clubs!
  21. More important things to think about when hitting the ball. So i have no idea what im doing!
  22. New shoes. A pair of FootJoys. My old pair is not waterproof. Super light but wet! And after going out twice this week i needed another pair. Gonna keep the Adidas around for nicer weather. Also a pair of pants and a new divot tool.
  23. Love this seasons concept. Too early to pick a favorite
  24. I carry a 21 degree Ping G10 in my bag. I swear by this club. Off the tee, fairway or rough, i love it.
  25. Everything is PING but my wedges and my bag. And i do own one Ping shirt.
