Really I didn't realize starter was made by Nike. They are very nice, simple but nice. You can prolly even pick them up at Wal-Mart even because I've seen starter items at walmart. As a matter of fact I just found the same compression shorts online at Wal-Mart. For $10! Good buy http://www.walmart.com/ip/Starter-Me...i_sku=11026750

$5 a bucket at a decent range that goes over 300 yards with flags and markers. Another course charges $8 thats just down the road for about the same amount. It's a no brainer for me

Not the best day with scoring but I was hitting my Irons very solid. Posted a 45 on 9 hole par 37. If I could only get my driver working with more accuracy.

Problem has been solved. Picked up some compression shorts at Kmart of all places for 9.99. They had black starter brand compression shorts that are great and you can't beat the price. Also I picked up some of the Lanacane anti chaffing gel. It's not cheap its around 6 to 8 bucks for a small tube but what golf related item is cheap! The tube of gel seems like it should go along way tho. Seemed to do the trick! Thanks for the suggestions and I hope mine can help out someone out with my suggestions too. I've been walking and playing the past week and no problems!

I seem to have the same problem on hot and humid days and the past few weeks have been terrible. I'm gonna try using that sports glide. Baby Powder, Baby Oil, & Gold Bond Seem to work but I've never tried the Normal gold bond I just have the medicated stuff and that works great after if you have chaffing problems. This is prolly the most common set back for me on the golf course when it comes to any type of injuries (if you could call it one). Great topic

Against Stack and Tilt? Tell Me Why.
dowlichr replied to Phil McGleno's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
When I heard about the S&T; method It really made me want to read and find more information about it. I read the recent book that I got from the library and it really did make a lot of sense. I fell keeping your weight centered has helped me but overall if I start thinking to much about my swing on the course it only gets worse from there. I may use a few of the ideas from the S&T; but now unless my swing is really bad I might not try to fiddle with it much. -
I would prolly get the G5's if they fit you right go check out the ping fitting system on Ping's site.

This should be interesting with Tiger and how his swing will change with his coach. Will it be Butch? It was a nice way to let Hank go if Tiger had a change of mind. What the real question would be is who is the next celebrity for Hank on his TV show?

When I'm golfing with people it seems they always ask me from time to time what I'm using mostly on a par 3's. I'll usually just say you should probably have a better idea than me. It's kinda odd how people do base their club selection on other peoples thoughts. I hope everyone knows there own golf swing better than their playing partner knows it.

I'm pulling for Daily but I also think its a little funny on the golf channel and how they have him say "you don't know what its like being Daly" I mean really cmon. The guy is a professional golfer and many people have much worse lives then he could even imagine. He might have made bad decisions in his life but no need to feel sorry for him.

yea the Taylor Made Smokes are hot

what is a good cheap scotty cameron?

yea don't worry so much about the name. I was thinking about trying Cameron putters but why. I found there to be so many other models at much better prices. Taylor Made Rossa series are pretty nice. You can get them at great prices to so this is what I picked up. -
Golf Shoes - Adidas Tour 360 3.0
dowlichr replied to Ash1974's topic in Balls, Carts/Bags, Apparel, Gear, Etc.
thats for the help, I think I might need to look into adidas golf shoes instead of foot joys now -
I just picked up some used Titleist 990 Irons online for 99.00 dollars haha how Ironic. Anyways what are your feelings about the 990's? I really love their nice classic look and heard alot of good things about them. I know they are older irons but they use to retail for 150 a club. Not a bad deal and is a definite upgrade from my old irons.

Equipment pricing realization
dowlichr replied to Livestrong's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
yes Golf Balls are very over rated. Any kind of normal distance ball would be fine. I have been playing with the wilson prostaff x2 distance and spin. Loved them both. A nice plain style golf ball with good feel and distance. They were 9.99 for 20 -
Right on I went back to the 975D Driver, I really thinking about picking up a 975F this year but I already have my trusty old *tmade* Burner Bubble that I hit well and its always hard to get rid of something thats been with you for awhile. I know your looking at all the new clubs and getting excited because your parents are help paying. But when you can find older models that hit just as well for under 40 its a steal.

shot a 47 on 9 yesterday. Drove the ball well just my approach shots were just off or too far. :(

What do you think I should buy for grips. I really like the classic tan Winn grips but I've heard they wear out fast. What do you recommend and also keep price in mind.

I how often wondered the same question. I played alot of baseball and thought about using golf gloves all the time. Right now I'm using one of the cheap intec cabertta leather gloves, hey there only 4.99. After playing a round of 9 holes sometimes 18 a day after awhile my hands get beat up. and at the driving range. Its not near as bad when I played baseball. But I often wondered if wearing two gloves would at least help my other hand. Do you lose feel? I'm not really sure if I should. What do you think?

Yes Tiger's antics are pretty bad I mean yes you can get mad at hitting a bad shot but he needs to tone it down a little because there are millions of people watching him. Many kids got into the game of golf directly because of Tiger. Unless he wants to play the Charles Barkley I am not a role model campaign with Nike he needs to stop swinging his clubs around. Also lets up Anthony Kim can hold on to his clubs as well.

yes very sad deal. I always liked Air McNair. You just had to root for him coming out of a smaller college. My heart goes out to the McNair Family. RIP AIR

Shot a 46 today on 9. Didn't have time to play 18 but I'm just starting to get back into golf so I'm happy.
