They were probably all pretty drunk. I know if I had the course all to myself, I'd be pretty drunk...lol But in all seriousness, it's a little different when you're rich, don't have a time schedule and there's no one behind you.

Unfortunately most stores do not have more than 10 left-handed demo clubs, and of course I don't like any of them, so I'm forced to buy blindly and based on others' recommendations. Right now the two clubs I'm looking at are used X-16 irons or Big Bertha 2004 irons. Is one better than the other? They are both listed in "Very good" condition -from Callaway preowned - and about the same price. I'm a high handicapper, and I hear these are very forgiving (actually I hear just about all Callaway clubs are very forgiving).

I generally finish in about 4 1/2 hours. Last time, I tried to wave the guys behind us through, because I felt really bad for holding them up almost half of the holes. There must have been several behind them because they allowed us to keep playing in front of them.

After watching a few videos on different swings, I've concluded that it's just something I have to stretch out and try my hardest to adapt to how I play. My biggest trouble seems to be getting that final rotation of the hips so my belt buckle faces the target. It's hard for me to rotate my hips and balance so my back foot pivots. But it seems that's a constant in virtually all swings. Oh well, back to stretching! I guess golf is as good a motivation as any to stretch well, huh?

ks8829 - The thing is I don't want to fundamentally change the way I play the game. I want to stand up with two feet on the ground and both hands on the golf club because that's how I've learned to play. alf174 - I'll definitely try that - thanks for the tip! I have a feeling it will be just as hard because my pelvis is all kinds of jacked up...but if it is going to take a lot of work to get my hips to rotate, I guess I'm just going to have to work hard to get flexible...

I used to golf when I was younger and am just now getting back into it. Of course, though, I've forgotten some things such as certain swing techniques, so I've been researching that the last few days. It seems the most important (or one of them) thing is to rotate the hips. However, this is a slight problem for me because I am handicapped (in the literal sense, not golf meaning...haha). I have really tight muscles as a result of my disability and it makes it hard to rotate, but I've only known how to play standing up so I don't want to make the switch to adaptive (wheelchair) golf. So my question is: Is there a way to strike the ball well without too much rotation, or am I just going to have to try my hardest to get more flexible?

I haven't played golf consistently in at least 10 years. I know all the fundamentals and how to play, so now it's just a matter of getting out there and getting back into a rhythm. Only problem is I have no clubs. I've been browsing around for a few weeks now looking at clubs, and the best deal I could find was the Top-Flite XL 5000 set ( http://shop.callawaygolf.com/Product...71F&gcid;=2040& ). I was wondering if anyone has played with these clubs or heard about them, and if they are any good? I want to get a set that will last me long enough, but at the same time have some good technology and not hinder my performance. I've also been looking at new and used iron sets from more well known brands like TaylorMade ( http://www.golfsmith.com/products/TM1150 ) and Tommy Armour ( http://www.sportsauthority.com/produ...ductId=3115193 ) I would like to keep the price under $500, though. I'm also a lefty, so I don't know if that makes it harder to find good, inexpensive clubs... What do you guys think?

it was over 100...that's all you need to know...haha

right now I'm a full time student...but I'm going to be a reporter as soon as I graduate! YAY FOR BEING POOR!! lol
