  1. When people ask me if I have seen their club, (and I have), I tell them it is where they left it. I never pick up a club, I don't think anyone helps anybody by picking a club up.
  2. I enjoy Tiger when he is not in "protection" mode. I love the new commercial of him playing with some sponsor's client.
  3. I love to watch a round with Tiger in it. I used to be in awe of his ability to bring spectators to the game of golf. He now is simply a run of the mill PGA representative. There are times when he is a good ambassador and times when he is not. I figured something out this weekend about my admiration for Tiger; I always thought he was gifted, he is not. He is a technician and nothing more. When his swing is "broken" he is done, he has nowhere to go. Bubba is gifted. The swing coach is the worst thing that has ever happened to golf and it has ruined Tiger. His tantrums are a logical result of his need to swing technically and failing. He should take the year off and hit the Billiards circuit to get some feel back and learn to trust his senses rather than someone else' "script". Every golfer should have a few lessons, no golfer should have a coach.
  4. I love my BMW X3, it is far sportier than the X5. I drive it just as hard as I used to drive my Alfa back in the day. The X3 has a nook in the inside liner that lets the club heads fit.
  5. I remember him winning on the Nike Tour here in Wichita, I hope he lives long and prospers; but another major... nah.
  6. You guys must never talk to women, the dude is long waisted with a very short inseam. That gives you the proportions of a dwarf, on a regular height person it is a very odd look. ... and gives him a torso rotation ability we would all like to have.
  7. The desert is sponsored by Omega, don't you suppose there might be a reason there?
  8. It is simple, he really needs an aneurysm to complete his "pathetic show".
  9. I went to the Golf Headquarters on West 21st and the guy did OK. The Dicks should do well but did not seem to have it together. The Golf Warehouse has gotten a swing analyzer recently but I have not seen them use it nor do I think they actually have a Pro on staff. I have gotten some bad news lately, would you be interested in some of my TM?
  10. I love playing with other people, but I play alone by preference most of the time. I play up to three balls at a time and not necessarily the entire hole. I play golf to hit shots, not keep score or follow arcane rules, (necessary though they may be for competitive play), and I move very quickly. I tend to play very early when possible and will simply skip holes if I get caught behind Easter Egg Hunts or idiots. I buy $20 dollar balls and never look for a ball beyond driving past the place it entered the doo doo. I play "new golf", no one had to change anything for me. My chest swells when I fix a pitch mark because I hit a shot that left a pitch mark! I hit my driver better than any other club except maybe my putter. I never do more than sight a putt from a few feet behind the ball and I putt very well thank you. This game can be played for enjoyment the way it currently exists, no changes needed.
  11. I have an R7 460 as a back up to my 07 Burner, very affordable. However Mojoe's offer is one you should snap up.
  12. Love the iPhone. Very cool, he is one of my favorites.
  13. Since you broke a club on purpose I hope you are cursed forever and get worse every time you play... you deserve it.
  14. Is there a cut at the BMW?
  15. I like Ian, He is a bloke who worked in a pro shop and made the bigs. Rough around the edges, yes, but I think he is a great story and I like him.
  16. I just dropped my Rossa Daytona 1 for m Rossa Suzuka, I need the toe weight and semi mallet.
  17. For me it is about the club organizer. I have an Ogio with the Woody and one with the Uniter, I love the Uniter. All the OGIOs are good bags, pick the one that separates your clubs the way you want.
  18. Max Power, he is interested in the '09 Burners not the Burner Plus.
  19. I like Consolover best, I play Braeburn a lot. I also play Echo and Sierra. I wanted to play Sim today, waiting on the weather. I usually tee off about 3:45. I also play Cheney.
  20. In my sig, using the Daytona at this time.
  21. I live in Wichita too, it is fun to go to TGW. If you want to play a round and try out my Burner irons just PM me.
  22. Is there room in the range finder market for another player? A new Raylor to replace the highly discounted current one?
  23. Two things that it could be come to mind. First would be a new shaft material, (ceramic?), but that would be leaked during development. The one I would like to hear would be an announcement that all clubs will be made in the USA from now on. I like my TM stuff, good enough to be better equipment than I am player.
  24. I grew up playing CC golf, as a young adult I belonged to a very nice club on an under 30 nepotism program. I am now 60 and probably exactly who a club hopes will show up if they allow public access. Knowing what club membership is really like I question how it can be done with equity to the real members. Belonging to a club means your clubs are cleaned after every round, your shoes are shined regularly. You play cards with buddies and order from the grill with a signature. The family comes for Sunday brunch and the kids turn into fish at the pool. It seems like a slippery slope to try and limit non-member access unless they are limited to the parking lot and pro shop only... well that makes it tough to hang with the foursome after the round when you don't belong. It is an interesting conundrum to resolve well.
  25. I think any OGIO with the "UNIFIER" club organizer is a great bag.
