Oh, so you want to live in a place where only the criminals and political elites have guns. Nice.

Man, you guys are tuff. I like Faldo. I hate Aquaman, Rory and Jonny Miller.

The term Player refers to low or single digit handicappers. Its as simple as that. As for hackers.......If I'm behind you and you are on your 3rd stroke and you are still inside my driver range....you my friend are a hacker. Perhaps another good definition of hacker would be anybody who plays one stroke or more worse than the person being askedthe question.

Thats a good response. If Emanuel is nailed do you think Obama would bee doomed?

To the Obama lovers out there, If it is found that Obama had knowlege of a negotiation to sell his senate seat or that his chief of staff Rahm Emanuel was involved in brokering a deal that Obama should step down. I just would like to get this nailed down before the details come out. I just find it impossible to believe that Obama is surrounded by all of these corrupt people yet he is as pure as the wind driven snow. It is his senate seat and he is the president elect. Do you really believe that Obama would not be a part of whatever negotiation would happen to give his seat to someone else??? Time will tell but this smells to the high heavens. So please just answer my question my democrat friends, if Obama or Emanuel are found to have been involved in this should Obama step down?

This is the change we get with Obama....... Headline. CHICAGOLAND: RAHM REFUSES QUESTIONS

What has bothered me with this whole thing is the lack of curiosity ofthe main stream media with regards to Obama. Come on now, does anybody really believe Obama, the former holder of the seat and the president elect would not be in on how his seat in the senate would be disposed of??? When in the transcript the govenor states that all Obama is willing to offer is appreciation.......the media claims loudly (too loudly for me) that this is somehow exsculpatory evidence........BULLS**T.... That statement tells me that there was a negotiation. The media seems to want to skip over that part.

Some of these responces read like politically correct psychobable. Kind of like how now with kids sports there are no winners and losers, everybody gets a trophy. Sorry to break it to you but if you can't reach greens in regulation, if you duff it all over the place, if you hold up the group behind because you can't advance the ball, if you can't break 90...90% of the time, YOU ARE A HACKER. I don't care how much you love or respect the game, YOU ARE A HACKER. All of us have been there at one time or another. Get over it and accept it. Improve your game if you don't like me calling you a hacker.

A hacker is someone who consistantly scores over 90. A real player is someone who consistantly scores mid-80s or lower. A player has a 10 or less handicap.

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!! That's exactly what got me the negative rep. I started a thread asking a legitimate question regarding high end putters wether there was any real difference. The thread got locked up for nothing by the Cameron Nazi and I got a pile of negative feedback. F*** them. Ha ha!!!!

What if it is her? Do any of you really think the media is gonna run Obama out of office before he gets in after they just were successful in getting him the election.

Swim. It will build the muscles you need without bulking you up or skrewing up your flexibility.

My swing speed is 10 to 15 mph faster than yours but I can't control a regular shaft at all. Its almost like the shaft is flexing so much that the clubhead isn't catching up in time for impact. I can hit a regular shaft driver a mile but it is too difficult to control. That is my experience. With a 105mph swing I don't know if you would experience that phenomenon.

No matter how slow you think your take away is make a consious effort to take it back even slower till you feel your full coil at the top. That simple swing thought makes a huge difference with the long irons.

I carry a 3-wood, 19* hybrid, 21* hybrid and the 3-iron. I do not carry a 5-wood. For me the 21* hybrid goes the same distance as a 3-iron which for me is about 210 to 225. The 21* hybrid is just easier to hit and I also use it for t-shots on short par fours. I keep the 3-iron in the bag because I can work the hell out of the ball with it. The blade 3-iron is like a get out of jail free card for me if I wind up on the right side blocked by trees. I use it to hit a variety of high and low cut shots from 140 out to 180 that I just can't do with a hybrid. From 150 I can start the ball 45* left of the target and work it back. Its a shot I practice because there are a couple of holes on my home course where I tend to find myself in a situation where I need it.

I have a 10X more difficult time with the putter and chipping around the green than I do with the driver. I feel I have the driver mastered. I am longer than probably 98% of the people who play the game. I keep it in play with the driver. This game is more about controlling your misses. Bombing a driver 300+ yards is not a problem for me. Is every one in the fairway, no. If you care to measure how far I hit the ball without factoring fairways missed or how far off line I am I am sure I average over 300 or darn close to it in the distance the ball travels...not necessarrily the distance towards the hole though. From wherever my driver ends up I almost always have a 7-iron or less to the green on most par fours. I know that my worst miss with a driver is a powerful push that flies dead strait but goes 40 yards right of my target. I almost never miss left. My driver strategy is simple. I just pick a spot on the left edge of the fairway to aim at and bomb away. Even if I hit a bad drive I am still in play with a shot at the green. From whereever my driver miss ends up I will still have a shot at putting it on the green 90% of the time. If I was anywhere near as good and confident with a putter as I am with the driver, I'd be a scratch golfer. Here is another way to think of it. If I only 3 putted as many times as I hit a driver poorly in a round I'd shave at least 5 strokes off my handicap. For me the driver is mastered while the putter is a mystery.

Just to get your panties in a bunch tjy355. I now feel obligated to live up to the negative reputation points I have been given so you can look forward to alot more negative posts from me.

I think you just hit the nail on the head.

I don't like them but I am stuck with it at my home course. Most of the time I keep a wet towel with me in the cart when I play and clean my clubs as I go so they usually don't need cleaned anyway. I don't like people touching my clubs and prefer to load and unload. Sometimes I sneak the cart out to the parking lot or unload them myself while they attend to other people. It visibly pisses them off some times. Like others said I don't want or need this extra service so why should I be guilted into tipping for something I don't want.

I am a long hitter. Distance wize I don't notice any real difference between ProV1 and ProV1x with the driver. With 7-iron thru wedges the spin is like night and day. It is very noticable.

My friends like to play skins with carry overs. I hate it. There is just too much luck involved. I can beat any one of them in streight up stroke play and to me stroke play is all that matters.

Then why ddn't you say "I posted my most recent scores" Instead you said... Sorry but it doesn't pass the smell test. Whatever though.....its your handicap. Can we play for money? I'll even give you a stroke.

My prediction is that this will either haunt Obama or ends his presidency even before it starts. A guy can hope and wish right. Seriously though this and the Rezco investigation that appears now to be moving forward will dog Obama much like Whitewate dogged the Clintons.
