I was B-FIt for Bridgestone Tour B330-RX golf balls Ricky Fowler - -9 Jordan Speith - -8 Phil Mickelson - 7

Correct. Point being, it is 1/3 what it was before they did away with the program and instituted this one.

Just got an email from Golfnow describing their new rewards program. If you recall, they did away with teh old program that gave you a round after 5 bookings, then another after 10 more. Here's the new deal: Plus, continue to play and you can earn even more great benefits: I appreciate that they have given us *something*, but am disappointed with what they have decided on. Thoughts?

Yikes. Sorry to hear that. Best of luck to you.

OK, curious about your "tennis elbow". Commonly here in the states there is no surgery for this. I had it acutely about a year ago from overuse / bad technique playing tennis. I wore a brace, and then it finally got so bad I went to my physician with it. I was expecting a shot or at least medicine for it, and he suggested: -stop playing -keep playing sounds weird, but he said there was no clinical evidence that suggested stopping would make it any better, that it would eventually get better. He was right. You must have something deeper than tennis elbow.

Par 3, 165 yds. One of the guys I play with regularly hits his tee shot right, and it hits near the green, bounces, then catches the cart path. It then proceeds to come all the way back down the path past where we teed up, leaving him about 200 yds in. It took about two minutes for it to make it all the way back, and we were cracking up all the way as we were cheering it further and further away. Priceless.

I have the same situation, and it is kind of a pain to give the distances all the time, but I do it, money or not. From my point of view, if the roles were reversed, and the guys wouldn’t give me distances, I'd look for other playing partners. JMHO

I'd say give it a shot; If you don't you will always regret not trying. That being said, I remember a quote from Davis Love years ago that I thought was pretty good. He was asked "How do I make it on the PGA tour?" His answer: "When you can beat everyone in your state, then you have a chance to make it on tour:. Best of luck in whatever you decide.

Had my TM 460 now for 4 years. I'll hit some of teh new ones, when somone in the group has something, but haven't found anything yet any longer or straighter for me.

Orange County National is good; I like Hunters Creek also.

Wow, that's tough. I really don't have a system that would help you with losing your putter; That always seems to be the club in my hand when I walk off a green, so it's not as susceptible to loss. However, when I do have my putter out by itself, I will put the putter cover in my pocket; That is a reminder that I need my putter to go with it... :) Here is what I do for my other clubs though, and I haven't lost a club in ten years because of it: If I have a wedge, or whatever with me when I reach the green, I will throw my putter cover on teh ground near my wedge; That way I will look for my putter cover when I leave the green, and then see my wedge too.... If I''m playing and using carts - I always leave my clubs between the flag and the cart; That way if I forget it, maybe one of my playing partners will remember it... Hope it turns up....

Actually, it was yeasterday. 195 in to a par 4, and I pured (for me) my 3 rescue; rolled hard into the flagstick and dropped. Eagle. Thank you very much!

.50 skins. (Yep, big spenders here.) We just do it to put a little pressure on our games and try to improve when there is pressure. Most of the time we don't even do that; it might be for cokes after the round, or if we play teams, losers buy dinner.

OK, I'll feed off the title here.... Best - 78 Worst - 103 Now back to your post........ It seems that I can do the same thing you describe; I have a lousy day striking the ball, and i score well, and then there are days that I am ecstatic about the way I am striking it, and just cannot score! I'll tell you though, I am WAY happier with a higher score where I know I hit the ball well, than the days the crappy shots come out great.....

[QUOTE=Pat007;234064] I have caddied for a Monday qualifier, and what I saw with these really good players is they were way faster than normal on all their shots, until they got to the green. Then it was actually painful to watch how slow they were. Now granted, these guys were at work; We are only doing this as a hobby; I'm sure there would be a big change for us too....
