  1. Heh. Good point. But I think Tiger is going to step it up at the Ryder Cup, for once.
  2. Shot a 40 today, just awful conditions. The ground was rolling nowhere and the course I played was pretty long. Driver, 7 irons today when it's usually driver, wedge.
  3. I just pretend they're not there now
  4. Heh. Most of those golf balls have been hit twice or three times. Believe me, if I thought that it affected anything, I wouldn't buy them. The only person who might notice a difference is the professionals. As soon as you hit a golf ball once, it's used. Do you also switch golf balls every three holes because it might be "worn" out? I doubt it. And, if you do, you're rich enough to not care anyways
  5. I buy used golf balls. Why? Because I feel that paying 4 or 3 dollars a ball is way too much, and no one I know can even tell that my golf balls in my bag are used. Even if they hit them, they can't tell. Stop wasting your money...
  6. Good point.
  7. That's exciting! He does have a lot of nostril hair though. David Feherty pointed this out and I agree with him.
  8. What are you talking about? Why in the hell doesn't looking at Stuart Appleby's face not want to make you run out and buy tires! A lot of tires! The ad is top notch. Guy hits it through tires, they appear out of thin air and drop and roll in bunkers. It's perfect.
  9. Yes, I have a laser rangefinder. I was looking at the skycaddie, but at 350 bucks and the fact that I can't really use it anywhere, I chose the rangefinder. I can shoot to yardage pins on driving ranges, I can scope out wedge distances, amoung other things. And, and 150 bucks, it's a lot cheaper.
  10. Yeah. Right. It's raining outside here and I can't golf.
  11. Almost always a 5 iron
  12. I was looking around at some different medium priced golf balls, because I was running low on Pro V1x's. I was looking for something that wasn't really expensive, for just practice rounds and such. One of the balls I saw that I thought might be good are the BlackMax's from Maxfli. Any others?

    Fake scores

    We have our club championship qualifier and this kid tried to qualify six times before shooting an "81" with his dad...
  14. John Daly is playing some real crappy golf right now. He's missed like 7 cuts, and missed the cut in all the majors he played in. He's also withdrawn from like four events after shooting something like an 80 in the first round and quitting. I want to see John do well as much as the next guy, but man, is he playing bad. Event Results.

    Fake scores

    Ehh.. that's almost funny. But, it just seems to me that teenagers are more likely than adults to have a vanity handicap. I would've took his $10...
  16. This brings up a funny story. I was playing in a high school match and my opponent kept taking my clubs. So, on one quirky par three,with O.B long and right. It's about 120 yards, but looks longer. I decided to mess with him. He was standing next to my bag, so I pulled the 8, so did he. When he wasn't looking, I went back and got the wedge. I put it on, he blasted two shots O.B and I won the match by one stroke. Wrong? Naa...

    Fake scores

    I've got nowhere to be...
  18. Our course has very small, hard greens. So, usually I don't have a lot of putts per round.

    Fake scores

    I was on the range this morning, hitting some 3 woods. Now, our driving range is right along our ninth hole. (I should mention that I play at a nine hole course). So anyways, during my backswing, one of my junior counterparts says really loud "Hey, Conrad! Guess how many under I am?" Needless to say, I was not impressed. So, I intended to try and act nice. I guessed one under, as this kid is a pretty good golfer, and we have a tough track. Well, he said he was two under and he had to save par from the fringe to shoot 34. So, I hardly cared, and I went back to hitting 3 woods. So, as he lines up his putt from the fringe, he hits it 3 feet past and then takes out the stick and places it on the edge of the green and proceeds to miss that putt. Then the fun part. He throws his ball in the water, and kind of puts in the flagstick crooked, and was swearing all the way to clubhouse. So, anyways, I finished my bucket and I walk down to the putting green, where this kid was. He said he birdied three holes in the middle of his round, and blah blah blah. This kid is famous for lying about his score. So, since he was playing "well" I invited him to play with me and try to go for the course record which is +1. He said he had to leave, but I told him he should at least play 5 holes and see how he's doing. He took a bogey on the first hole, tripled the third, and walked in. I'm getting kind of bored of this kid. He lies about his score all the time and when he's in competiton, he always shoots in the mid forties and says that he never plays that way. I should mention that he almost always plays by himself. I don't know about your guys courses, but I've only found a few kids that actually shoot what they say they do. I don't know about the junior golfers at your courses, but I'm sick of the ones at mine. Thanks for letting my blab.
  20. Shot a 36 today. Just played a quick nine before ladies night. Had one birdie and one bogey. We have our club championship coming up, which is match play, so I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing...
  21. Scotty cameron newport beach. My drivers, irons, fairway woods, and just about everything come and go with technology, but I'll never get rid of my putter.
  22. That's not fair... but I live on a golf course and I have a real green in my backyard.
  23. Peter Alliss I think. He's a BBC announcer.
  24. On the tee boxes on the par threes, they have a spotter who's only job is to wear a headset, and tell whoever what club they're hitting... the caddies might tell the spotters, but not the guys in the tower...
  25. Too bad that all these advances in technology won't help half of the male golfing population because they can't check their ego's at the door.
