Best, 7 iron through putter, including a sand and lob wedge. Worst part, in order, fairway woods, driver, long irons...I don't have any hybrids. Mr. Coffee

I've got to be the luckiest Hacker out here. I shot my second eagle ever last weekend. I strung together 2 beautiful shots and a lucky putt on the 15th at Quail Ridge, here in Bartlett, Tn (15th hole, a 477 yd par 5). First eagle ever was last year with a lightning bolt of luck from about 130 yards out. I still haven't shot lower than a 96 and I started playing about a year and a half ago...this is killing me! I need to find the time to get out more than once every 4-6 weeks.

Shot a 45 on the front nine, and fell apart with a 57 on the back nine... But I got my first EAGLE today with a lucky 130 yard approach shot with an 8 iron. I'll take all of that kind of luck I can find.

Davy Crockett is one tough course and I love it! Not too much in the way of water hazards, but the rough is just as unforgiving and the trees and undergrowth seem to be giving the narrow fairways a bear-hug. They almost closed it down last year but decided not to and have been giving the course better funding. The course is improving drastically as a result. Right now they're running specials to build the customer base back up, and 18 holes with a cart is only $21. Additional rounds are $12 for the cart fee only. Ciao, Bob

I fell awful. Just finished shooting a 115 on a course where my last 8 scores were between 98 and 104. What in the world happened? I have no idea. Thoroughly disgusted with the way I shot. I'm taking the next three weeks off and do nothing but practice. Bob

I don't know how it'll be in the future considering my wife thinks I'll get tired of the game sooner or later (I'm not sure she realizes just how addictive this game is), but since I got hooked a year ago I've had absolutely no problem playing or practicing when I want for as long as I want (99% of the time).

I just happened across a written practice regimen for a high school golf team and was wondering what ya'll thought I should expect in the way of results, after a year or two, if I can actually find the time to work that regimen into my schedule. I just started golfing last fall, and I think my current handicap index would be somewhere between a 26 & 29 if it were calculated. Here's a link to the webpage showing the practice routine. http://eanes.tx.schoolwebpages.com/e...980eb7592e674d Thanks, Bob

I'm gonna list a few courses here. I play this one the most since it's only $21 for 18 with a cart and only $12 more the second time around...and it's challenging as heck. www.davycrockettgolf.com I play this one when I can get out of the office early because it's close and I can usually get in 9. www.foxmeadowsgolf.com And when I'm lazy and/or have a little extra money I play the course closest to home on the occassional weekend. www.thequailgolf.com Thanks, Bob

I started last year with a set of "hand me down" clubs with "pot metal" hosels. After about 6 trips to the driving range I lost three clubheads to the range when they sheared off for no apparent reason and decided to fly about 30+ yards into the range. I'm new, don't know what a "good" club is, but I'm pretty sure that I think I want the most durable, most unforgiving club set I can get at a reasonable price. (unforgiving, because I want to know that if I can hit the club in question and get the ball to do what I want, then I should be able to do it with a more forgiving club) I'd love to get to the point where I'm playing better than bogey golf regardless of the brand of club I'm using (pipe dream?). And I refuse to buy a "draw" driver or wood to cure my occassional slice because I don't want to reinforce a bad habit. Thanks, Bob

I shot my best round today...98. I'm terrible at this game, but I do love the sense of achievement knowing that less than a year ago I was consistently shooting between 130 - 140. Now I gotta break 90. Bob

I started last fall on a lark at the age of 40. A few friends asked if I wanted to go out with them one weekend. I was bored and said, "sure". WOW! If I had known golf was this addictive I'd have warned the wife. I wish I had started 30 years ago. The family is slowly learning to cope and golf is heading up my most recent attempt at quitting smoking. Gotta quit one or the other, I can really only afford one of these vices. Bob
