79 yesterday with my dad. First time getting back under 80 this year with two 80's and an 82. I've got the bogey's on hole 18. That's just frustrating... Three putt on one, Three putt par on hole two, three putt on hole six. I hate three putts, thats three that I should have back right there for a 76. I can understand hitting bad shots that go off line a little, missing left and right is ok with me. but three putt bogeys just burn me. I hate the feeling of not even giving the birdie a chance...ending up 5 feet short with plenty of work left. Just having a trouble getting the speed of the greens with only a few rounds under my belt so far. Such is golf I guess...

If you count a pitching wedge---4

Thats easy, Mac. My wife used to be a PCer, until we got our macbook and went on from there. It is easy to use, little to learn, and fantasticly developed. I have NEVER had a virus. The only junk mail I get is because I have signed up for it somewhere. The computer rarely, if ever randomly needs to be rebooted (I think twice in a year). You'll love imovie, idvd, iphoto, and it's compatability with all of the microsoft office and windows programs.

I don't know if I would categorize what tiger does for GD as "articles". There are some nice tips, but 2 paragraphs doesn't count for me as an article. I personally subscribe to GD, Golf, and Links magazine. I like how Links focuses on courses around the world. I like things in GD like "What's in my bag". I like breaking 100, 90, 80, 70. That stuff helps.

Rochester is just about 40 minutes outside of your 90 minute requirement. But, if you do ever come up the Rochester way, let me know and we can play a few of the top public courses. I am a member at Mill Creek Golf Club, and there are a few others worth playing (i.e. Ravenwood Golf Club)

Ya know, it really wasn't that long. It was probably like 4.5 hrs. And there was a definite line of carts waiting for the first tee. What was key was that all of the foursomes of ladies let us through. Princeville- like I said, not incredibly manicured for me. But, I guess that's hawaii. we stayed on the southshore in poipu--I didn't golf at poipu bay, but when we walked down there and I stood out around the course, I had a similar feeling about conditions. That course is more on the water though. There are also the two courses over by the airport....You get the idea. Lots of courses- you're playing golf in hawaii, it can't be that bad, right?

I was just in a similar situation. I had an old Titleist 980F 15 degree that I would never hit. I talked extensively with the pro at my home course and he couldn't stop talking about taylormade. He let me take out his r7 TP 3-wood at least 5 times on the course, and I used it just about every warm up on the range. It is a fantastic club. In efforts to save some dough, I ended up going with the r7 steel, instead of the tp. the steel (with graphite shaft) just dropped at any local golf store to 179.99. Ebay of course will have a better deal somewhere. The ball flies off of the face. With a good swing, you will strike it well. If you want a bigger club head to use off the tee more often, take a look at the titanium, or the burner fairway. The pro was pushing taylormade, and it was worth listening to for me.

Don't know if you've already gone: While on my honeymoon (I know, what a wife), I played princeville and the muni near the airport. Princeville was as advertised. Stunning views, incredibly difficult holes that require prime shot making. Then other holes that are forgiving. I thought for the price (up to 195) that the course would be in pristine shape, manicured etc. It wasn't perfect, but very very good. I'd go back if I had the chance. My wife got a massage while I played the front 9 and then rode along with me on the back. It was NO PROBLEM getting a tee time---not a ton of people on the course for that price. The muni--it was called.....Wailua. No tee times at twilight--only something like 28 to ride. Course is RIGHT ON THE OCEAN. I think four of the holes played right along side it. Was it the perfect course? no---extraordinarily well maintained? no---exciting hole layout? no---....BUT, for 28, playing on the ocean, amidst the palm trees, it was a great opportunity to play a little less stressful golf. I would recommend. If your wallet is particularly fat- try poipu bay at the grand hyatt. the PGA Grand Slam of Golf used to be held there (might still be)

I think what is really difficult is all of the variables that go into a drive. Like other posts prior to this one: elevation changes from tee to fairway, turns in the fairway that allow players to cut off distance, wind, ROLL. Let's be honest, are we talking about carry distance? or distance with roll? give me a hard muni fairway in the middle of August...i could probably get it plus 300 a few times. If you were to take total yardage of the hole and subtract distance to the middle of the green you probably wouldn't get the ACTUAL distance of the drive even 75% of the time. It would probably be close. Sure, I've hit the ball on a 415 par 4 and been at 100, but was my drive 315 yards? I don't know---and I don't care. After a round, people don't usually ask how--they ask how many. I'm just trying to answer with the lowest score possible.

Teaching 3rd graders....ah the joy of football at recess. I have July and August completely off. My school district actually goes late (June 22). We start back up on Sept. 5th. I do, however, coach volleyball which starts mid/late august. So I have about 1.5 months of solid golf time.

I'll generally start each round with a new sleeve of ProV's. If I can--and it's not a competitive round--I'll use the same ball throughout. If the scuffs or cuts get bad, I'll switch. But I can still remember the one ball weekends. I just enjoy getting through 18 knowing I only used one ball. I also like the high numbers. 5-6-7-8. I used the 7's in the club championship last year, ended up shooting a couple of 77's. Maybe I should have used the 6's... :)

about how much does it run to have one refinished? I realize it would vary depending on the options you choose, but roughly? anyone?

Thanks---Little Mountain it is. **We'll keep an eye out for those little mountains for you...let you know if we find anything**

How about Stone Water or Little Mountain?
