Who does Rory's caddy look like? I can't put my finger on it...some cartoon character or something.
-
Nice dude! That impact position looks on point.
-
Driver and 5 iron

That's rad. I like the weight shift meters. Congrats on getting your scores down!
-
Yeah, I don't really give a shit...that's just what people say. Probably all mental.
-
More control over distance and shape. They look nice too.

I sort of see where you're coming from, but golf is a (for lack of a better word) "business" here in NA, and a "test" just to play would be bad for business. I'm sure some courses would be into your idea...higher-end courses that charge a premium, and like to think of golf as it was in the 1930's, when old men wore their pants up to their chest. That's just not how it is anymore...it's a hobby that is available to everyone, and you can even *gasp* play for fun! LMAO

Seriously...creepy.

HAHAHA...well, we're super off-topic now, but yeah I could hang out with Hoffman lol. How's NorCal doing? Home of the Cookies ;)

Oh it did...forget to mention, you're my new BFF for that. I'm more a Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik fan than ATliens tho

LMAO...The 'dick-4-a-caddie' and 'long putter' points are extremely valid points He seems like a cool guy to me tho...and he hired a pro surfer for a caddie for that event in HI, which I thought was rad. But I'm a surfer so that's a biased point

LOL...that's a joke, right?

LOL...what's wrong with Adam Scott?

TST SoCal 2014 Fall Outing December 7th Empire Lakes
BENtSwing replied to tristanhilton85's topic in Member Outings & Meetups
My friend and his wife live on that course!! Amazing place. So cool how you can eat at the club house overlooking the 9th (?) green and watch people's approach shots, putting and chipping. Probably the best bunkers I've ever played out of too. -
This. "Cool" is all relative, anyway. I voted "NO"

Dick's out of the golf business all together?
BENtSwing replied to RonTheSavage's topic in Golf Talk
I was in Dicks in Huntington Beach, CA last night, mostly just to see if anything was on clearance lol...which there was (got a Nike Dri-fit polo for 50% off and a doz TM TPX balls for 34.99). My friend I know from an adult hoops league I play in works there (not in golf) and I asked him what was going on with the golf dept. He said that golf sales don't come anywhere near the other departments (workout apparel, other sports equipment, shoes, hunting/camping) and this is in SoCal, where we play golf year-round! So, they are going to slowly try and clear out most of the golf stuff until they are down to mostly just balls and accessories. I'm not really surprised by this. I go to this Dick's a lot, but the only golf related stuff I buy are golf balls and gloves if they are on sale or if I have a coupon/rewards bucks. They have a terrible selection of clubs. Way too much top-flight and other off brand stuff. The name brand stuff is mostly driver/woods/hybrids and GI irons (no Titleist, no Ping, no Mizuno). They also have a very odd selection of wedges and putters, that are just sort of "dumped" together in an area. The golf pros that work there are nice enough but not very helpful. I had a putter re-gripped there once and it was done very poorly. Ended up getting a full refund. I once asked why they don't carry Titleist, Ping or Mizuno in this store and the pro said, "well, because most people can't hit those clubs...they are made for professionals. What's Mizuna?" LOL!! So, yeah, my point is...I'm not surprised they are getting "out of the golf business." Probably just put a Cross-fit or MMA section where the clubs were and watch sales go through the roof lol. -
Not if you got paid as much money as he did for all of that lol...I'd somehow find that extra energy
-
QFT lol
-
Nice bro! Glad you found something that works...bummer that you lost your wedge tho Did you just leave it on the course somewhere? What kind of wedge was it?
-
Whoa..those look like a trophy that you'd win in an amateur tournament or something lol. I'd be scared to hit those!
-
Yeah, listen to this guy ^^^ ( @mvmac ) he knows a little about golf

Wow that course looks super fun. I could probably make any of those dates, but the earlier ones would be better if it makes a difference. Again, not picky. Excuse my ignorance, I've never been a part of a golf outing...how does it usually go? Is it a tournament? Thanks for including me in the email btw @tristanhilton85
