Yes, he's IN!!! I don't believe that a bunch of 'writers' have the decision...makes no sence at all!

Dat chit is funny! After a good/great round, I usually play hole after hole in my head while I lay down. then, NOTHING the next round Funny! What a game we're hooked on! It is indeed amazing how these Pro's do it day in and day out.

Hummmm. I generally am 'happy' w/a score below an 85. A week or so ago I shot a 78, par'd holes, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 17 w/1 putt. Drives were just ugly, so the round wasn't as much fun, so to speak, as an 83 w/good quality shot making and poor putts...like the 2 birdie wash w/a double on a par 3! Funny game we're hooked on...for me the score is good, but I would much rather hit quality shots tee to green. In my avatar I hit 14 GIR's that day and finished w/a 90 on the card....W. Palm has some wild greens!! I was very happy that day.

The 2d hand smoke issue is BS....not saying that smoke in a confined area will not spark an asthmatic attack...not saying that at all. But, try telling your boss that you pissed hot because you were at a party all night where pot was burning a lot. Won't fly, you can not get stoneyed PERIOD! there are guys that will NOT ride in a golf cart w/me because I smoke while golfing; cigs and cigars. RIDE in the cart...what 5-6 mph..to the ball for the next shot...c'mon! I agree that aftersmoke smells rancid..I dont smoke in my vehicle...it stinks, but outside..and if a course bans all types of smoking outdoors, they will suffer the consequences...JMO! Back on track...dropping butts on the course is frik'n rude, not because its a golf course, but because its rude. those that toss a butt out their kitchen window or off their back porch will never stop dropping them on the course. Butts on the ground have been an issue as long as it has been sold.

M-203!!

As others have said..2 off the 1st tee box, play which you like. old farts on THUR dog-fight. If I start on 18, I've 'tried' to use they rule that it was stated that 2 off the 'FIRST" tee box...dosent work!

The 100 yds and in have become my most relaxed shot. i have forgone a 4 i due to the lack of differance between that and my 3 iron...who knows?? However I have damned near dialed in my wedges to perfection...my 60* is dialed in at 60 yrds, 58* @ 85 yrds, and the 52* at 110 yds. As stated in an earlier reply, if you can reach a distance of 'perfection', you'll be pleasantly pleased with the 100 yds an in....g'luck.

Thanx all for your service and contributions to this cause. Norman, 'drive them until I think they are going to break"??? No sir, leadership is an art..I'll be retired 18 yrs on 1 FEB, been thru 4 tours, Nam, Granada, Panama, and the STORM...you DON'T push troops, they'll push themselves!!! Welcome Home...keep up the good work!

I'll give one a whirl...order come'n forthwith. The space between my ears makes my grip too tight. perhaps this will work. thanx. I ususally use the BIONIC glove because it's a bi thicker, so this may just fill the bill.

I may be missing the boat, but I'm not certain that 'lessons' would do me any good more than a coach would. My thought: I'll celebrate my 3d year of playing next month..I've shot 2 79's and 1 78, i generally shoot 85 or below, which in itself is remarkable because 5 yrs ago SEP I was told (after my 2d spinal surgery/fusion) that I may not walk again. I swing w/in my physical capabilities and at times just fall apart (the 6" between the ars) because I simply do not know what to do under certain situations...ie..uphill or side hill lies, fairway bunker in a dog leg, how to hit a draw WHEN IT WANT TO..etc...so I think a coach, per se, on the course may be well within my view. Hell with it, y'all just talked me into asking my regular coarse's PRO if he'll play a round or two with me. Thanx for the thread Eric.

HEEEHEEHEE

Just got an order today and my 6 y.o. grand-daughter dotted up 2 doz balls for me. i usually just fill in 3 dimples w/a green sharpie then make a lil squig for a stem, so the shamrocks are get'n a try out.

Got cocky today after posting my BEST score ever on Fri...78, 41/37 (from the old man tees), then on TUE i moved back to the White tees, and rolled a 42/40..today, head couldn't fit in my cap proper and went 41/49, old man tees! Talk about get'n yer feet back on the ground.

Welcome to the forum. I;ve played ROLLING S in Waterloo, nice course and reasonable from what I can rememeber, not sure of 'dogfights' tho. Also, STONEY POINT is a great course, located in Greenwood. I do kno that at LAKESIDE C.C. has a dogfight on SAT in LAURENS...I've made a few donations to the regulars!!! Bonnie Brea is much closer to Greenville and a fair course to play.

Congrats, man. Keep it up! Broke 80 today for the 3d time in my life. If it weren't for the eagle and a birdie, I would have been at my regular 82-85..so did I really break 80 because the two good holes are usually a par or bogey hole?? HELL YES!!

What city are you spending 4 nights in. The TRAIL in Birmingham has 2 you could play..if staying in Montgomery, Capitol Hill is very good, hadn't played it but the LPGA plays there and is attractive. Also in Montgomery, you 'may' be able to gain access to the Maxwell AFB courses, both are inexpensive to play and nice courses. Silver Lakes is OUT..the took rediculous damage during the hurricanes.

Natalie, Sandra Gal, Paula.

Back to basics! My game has been improving consistantly lately and all of a sudden, like I hadnt hit a ball EVER! Got lazy I guess, and darn near threw in the towel. PGA...Posture, Grip, Alignment.

the only time I see a beer-cart is during tournaments, and then the price is based on what one would pay at the 19th hole! Seems logical to me..I can buy a six pack provided in a tote cooler with ice. nothing would sell if the price went to double or so. And during the tounry's, the cart gal knows what she's doing and is extremely easy on the eyes...dresses the part and the Course knows this...smart move!! I have paid rediculous prices for adult beverages in FLA in JAN...but thats the way it goes.

Lefty, regarding 'burnout', I have a similiar feeling. I have tho, narrowed it down to what the burnout is caused from. Thursday dog-fights! Each THUR I go out and try so frik'n hard to whoop the other 25+ players that i simply fall apart. I also play w/a handful of guys on TUE and shoot very nicely..aka, relaxing. I shot a 39 on the front on TUE, that w/a triple bogey on #8! THUR, I'm bound and determined to do the same, add heavy rains and I just can't get into it and didnt even finish the round. I was so frustrated and disappointed in my play that I considered not playing on THUR for awhile. All that to say, if I/you can seperate what is burnout v. what is supposed to be a relaxing and 'fun' experience, things should(?) improve. Now executing this might be more difficult...for me anyway. G'Luck.

Still an ACE, just scored as a birdie. kinda sux, but if the group ahead were on the 6th green or 7th tee box when he hit the shot, and had been warned ALREDY prior to the 5th hole,, shame; but the rub of the rules.

Considering it was 107 heat index..41/42...by the 14th I was wore slap out! A VERY good round for me...not a single birdie and 2 double bogey's. The putting was off a bit, but the ball striking was a pleasure, hence, the VERY good round.

this deal is done. obtained package today, very satisfied. FEEDBACK submitted.
