I definitely play better fully rested and awake, but I won't not play because i am tired or sleepy. I may choose to ride instead of walk if i'm really tired, but I'll still play if I've previously planned to. I might not play my best round, might even play towards my worst round, but I'm still on the golf course having a good time, which is better than many alternatives.

FINALLY A CHAMPIONSHIP IN PHILLY!!!!!!!!!!! Of all the teams, I'm glad the Phils got it. I had a chance to go tonight, a friend couldn't make it and was going to give me his ticket stub. Unfortunately i couldn't make it either. Now for the birds to keep the train rolling...

Beautiful game tonight, couldn't have been better. Made up for leaving men on base. 1 more night!!

what about putting in from the fringe for a double bogey, or lagging from the fringe, tap-in for triple? Up and down?

Your Boy Matt Ryan has a lot of potential. I think he'll be a good quarterback soon. That said, he's got his work cut out for him this weekend. Go Birds!! (eagles, that is)

I would say it would be equivalent to hitting a brick or missing wide on a half court shot, not actually getting the basket. He's missing the fairway. Maybe he's using the HAMMER - POWWWWWWWW!

I don't read every post, but I don't see too many 20+ handicappers bragging about 300 yard averages. In fact, I can't recall of any, at least on this forum. I suspect you guys are all talking about people you meet on the course.

I am under the impression that I would be happy playing bogey golf. Something tells me that if I get there, I won't be happy with it anymore. I'll want to be a single handicap... It's my goal to be a 16-18 cap next year. This year it was to break 100, which I've done about 6 times. Most other scores fall in the 103 to 107 range. I'd say a lot of people are bogey golfers when they improve their lie, don't count penalty strokes, and don't count the duffed chip shots that only go two feet.

I like it, it's nice and small and the yardage is accurate. I haven't read any reviews of people not liking it, other than the belt clip.

For your game, or any decent golfer, yes it is useless. For the guy that only plays once a month, it will help his game, and speed up their round.

I played with my brother and sister in law once, and she brought two clubs; a chipper and a putter. She had a lot of fun with it, and never saw the junk that I saw (sand, trees, deep rough), and beat me and my brother on a few holes. Every shot for her was right in the middle of the fairway. She's not a golfer by any means, but she is athletic. She had fun and that's all that matters.

It depends on who I am playing with. I haven't had a beer while playing in the last 10 to 15 rounds. I usually walk and drink water. After a round, I may grab a beer while I tally up my stats, but usually not more than one. I have a buddy that I play with sometimes where we'll have about 2 to 3 for the round. One time we each had a 6 pack, and by the time we got to the 16th tee, we were pretty stupid. One or two beers can help my game sometimes, after that it's downhill. Several beers = me going for it on every shot: cut the corner, carry the water, etc. I usually save the beer for afterwards.

In mid-August, me and a buddy just showed up on a Tuesday around 2pm. We were on the green course by 2:30 as a walk on, and could have played the red course if we wanted to wait until 3. I thoroughly enjoyed the green course, but it was a little slow that day as there was a really slow group in front of us. They let us play through after the fourth hole, but we got tied up again at the 10th. After 5 hours we called it quits on the 17th tee. It was already getting pretty dark, and the group in front was taking their dandy ass time looking for their tee shots. I had enough and teed off in the middle of the fairway, just as they were getting back into their carts. The rest if my group decided to jump to the 18th so we could finish, but again there was a group in the fairway walking around looking for their balls, so we left. It was a shame not to finish as I was having a good round. Bethpage is a beautiful place with an awesome clubhouse and patio. Go show up and play any course, you will not be disappointed. By the way, I got the NY rate without them even asking to see my license.

It may show up, probably not. With these lost club stories, I'm thinking about spray-painting my driver all black so if it gets lost, someone will think it's a piece of crap and just turn it in or leave it. Maybe a different color like bright orange so if I see it on the course in someones' bag, I can recognize it and take it back.

I was at the range a few years ago and saw a guy with one arm hitting balls extremely well, much better than me. He was hitting with his right arm, normal right hand stance. I admired him for not giving up the sport. If it works, go with it, but be prepared to always answer why you hit with one arm because everyone will ask, and many will chuckle - but who cares? Then again, if I were you, I'd try to figure out what was wrong with a two arm swing.
