  1. Well it's pretty simple. The course is closed for the day to anyone not playing in the tournament so you aren't going to slow any golfers down other than the 2 teams behind you. Im not saying this is how all scramble tournaments work but like ive said i've played in a bunch and have been paired with another team in every one.
  2. I have played in 100 or more scrambles. I have never played in scramble where you aren't paired with another foursome that is playing against you so it is almost impossible to cheat. I am interested to know if the scrambles you guys play in let you play in a group by yourselves. If they do they are obviously not very smart. And why would you not buy a mulligan if it is an option? A $5 mulligan might be the difference between winning a few hundred dollars or winning nothing.
  3. That sounds like a personal question to me :)
  4. I was golfing yesterday with 3 friends and one of the guys was slicing big time. I told him to close his stance. And right away in his practice swing you could see a difference on his swing path. He smoked his drive right down the middle of the fairway.
  5. They were probably spraying a pesticide or something on the green. The white foam is used as a marker so he doesn't overlap too much. That is my guess anyway, I've never seen it used on a golf course but that is what we use on the farm.
  6. It is casual water. No penalty
  7. I have been plagued with a snap hook many times. I have found that using a weaker grip(rolling my hands to the left) and slowing my swing down help out. If it still doesn't work I will play the ball back in my stance a little bit. Right or wrong things to do i don't know, just a few things that have worked for me in the past.
  8. I got 3 dozen used pro v1's for $22/dozen on ebay the other day. AAAA quality. The company was knetgolf.com. Balls were in great shape and didn't have to pay the ridiculous price of $48/dozen or whatever they are now.
  9. Yes I used one for 2 years. Replaced it last year with a blade style putter. I personally did not like it because it didn't fit my putting style.
  10. I have a gps but play with guy that uses a rangefinder. My gps is always within 5 yards of his distances. The gps is much easier to use but the rangefinders are nice to have because you can range sandtraps, water, and other hazards. I am a hunter and recently bought a nikon rangefinder . I have taken it out to the course once and found it difficult to get it to focus on the pin especially if there is something right behind the green, then it will tell me the distance to that tree or whatever it may be instead of the pin.
  11. That's because Tiger swings at about 80% on most of his iron shots for control. If he wanted he could hit a 6 iron 220 yards. Most Amaturs swing almost nearly as hard as they can.
  12. You act like it's impossibe for someone to hit a 7 iron 205. Just cause you can't doesn't mean its not possible. Why would the guy be lying?
  13. Driver- 290 3w- 275 5w- 250 4i- 225 5i-215 6i-200 7i-190 8i-170 9i-160 pw-150 52 *gap-120 56* sand-110 64*lob- ?? putter- 8 feet too far
  14. Why do you want the smallest head available? The bigger the better.
  15. shot a 4 over 76 today with 5 birdies. cut down on the bogies and i would happy.
  16. I carry 4 if you include the PW, 52* gap, 56* sw, and 64* lob wedge.
  17. Didn't think much about that one did I?
  18. You must drive a car with the steering wheel on the right side.. haha
  19. I use a 56 degree cleveland cg12 black pearl. That is the #1 most important club in my bag by far.
  20. Shot a 78 last night with a measly triple bogey on the easiest hole out there. Course was a little soggy from a inch of rain, but i am still pushing my irons a bit and its pissing me off.
  21. I would definitely take it to a golf store like austad's or golf USA and have them send it in. If they determine the cracks are from normal play they will usually send you a new one.
  22. I play 18 holes 3-5 times per week. I never plan on making a living playing golf so i figure why spend all the time practicing when actually playing is so much more fun. I feel i improve more by going out and actually hitting the shots compared to hackin away on the range. As long as i can shoot in the 30's and 40's i will continue this.
  23. I have a monte carlo for work and a chevy silverado. Wife has a grad prix and a Lincoln MKX
  24. I used a ping craz-e putter and hated it. Switched to an odyssey xg #8 late last season and I love it.
