  1. ahh no wonder I was able to grab a dozen of the TP5 for $20 @ my golf show...I love this ball...
  2. Last years Nike VRs/20XI hats, visors @ Golfsmith was $2.97 a pop so I bought 10 of them to give out to my golfing buddies...Can't beat that price...the price tag said $12 but when I went to go check out they came at $2.97 so I went to grab more...
  3. Bit the bullet and bought the Tour driver...I have no problem launching the ball high and always wanted a lower trajectory drive...hopefully I'll get the results.
  4. hmm good read..I'm in the market for this driver as well and I just got back from golfsmith...I may need to go back and try it on the launch monitor to get a better understanding..I was just hitting into the net and this shaft and head feels really good for me....
  5. Adidas powerband 3.0s and love them...Just cleaned them and leather lotion them up, played a round and it looks and feels like new...
  6. Shot an 88 (45,43) at a county course... Been a long drought and battle...
  7. This Year... When I do find the time to practice, I focus on my short game. ~100yds and in shots, chipping and putting. For me based from my stat tracking (last 5rds) it is taking an average of 3 strokes from 85-100yds and that is not good enough for my goals.
  8. ^^^^^^ That is so true!
  9. I'll add a bit to this thread...I was in the same boat last week.. This game of GOLF is all mental, just when you think you got it, NOPE. One day everything you do from tee to green is awesome, the next day its complete hell. First time last week I was able to shoot 87 and 89 back to back...Followed by 96 and 102. I am taking a week off and looking to get back down to the 80s again in 2wks...
  10. Last week while I was "off" from transitioning to a new job I had the opportunity to cure my golf craze. Usually I will play a round once a week. Last week I had the opportunity to play as many rounds as I possibly can, with the wife's approval and grand parents watching the kids...AWESOME! I was able to play a total of 5 rounds, one every other day...The first 3 rounds were pretty good shot 87, 89 and 91. The last two rounds were 96 and a lousy 102... So it appears to me the more I play the more I suck and I was pretty exhausted by the end of the week...Each is to his or her own but I'll stick to 2 rounds a week max...it keeps my golf craze flowing...
  11. If price is not a consideration and willing to drive there are many 5star course for you... 1. Whistling Straits 2. Erin Hills 3. Blackwolf Run 4. Grand Geneva courses 5. The Bog 6. The Bull Just a few within 2hrs drive time... 6.
  12. 87 on friday.. Going away golf.. 89 Monday. First time back to back 80s
  13. Outlets stores! If they're near you...Nike, Adidas, IZOD outlets are $$$ savers!
  14. Golfsmith's TourTrekker one click push cart is on sale for $129 and its very comparable to the clicgear. I had both of them side by side and its almost identical. Though the clicgear may have superior craftsmenship to the tour trekker, thats a ~$80 difference. I bought the 13.5lb Caddytek from TGW for $99 including shipping. Awesome cart to push, extremely light and is able to do what I was looking for at that price range... My .02
  15. Enterprise SAN Infrastructure Engineer for a large Milwaukee based bank that is currently under an acqusition...Last day will be June 24th... Sr. Infrastructure Engineer for a large health care in Wisconsin starting July 5th...
  16. Similar situation happened to my brother...non Nike bag, actually a 2010 OGIO Grom stand bag. He plays every now then, maybe 2x a month. He bought the bag last year from an Ebay vendor, this spring his back strap broke. He called OGIO they told him to send it in, 3 days later he received a new 2011 OGIO Grom bag free of charge. It sounds like Nike was probably going to give the OP a new bag if he was willing to send it in for investigation but opted not to...Oh well, not a huge Nike golf fan anyways..
  17. LOL...I just cleaned out my hat collection last weekend...
  18. Wow thats good to know...About Adidas customer service!
  19. Great Article...he needs to get back to his old form and contend again!
  20. Bubba or Dustin....
  21. I was in a similar situation last week Friday...It's a course with 3 9holes. The front 9 was a breeze as there was only 3 of us, whom plays pretty good and moving at a good pace...The 4th person, my brother, a hacker/newbie joined us on the back 9. While we we're all walking with push carts, come the 12th we weren't able to keep up pace with the group in front of us...My bro will take 6-7 shots to get to the green. So as I see the groups behind us catching up and waiting, I see the ranger rolling by with a group of 4 on carts around us...I was ok with it knowing we are walkers...but the one group that was behind them starting cussing out my bro to pick up his ball and move to the green...of course my bro was ticked off, I was a bit irritated but I told him to just pick up the pace, hit your ball and move on. The ranger eventually came back to my bro telling him to move along as the 3 of us were on the green and he was about 75yds back... What piss'd me off after the fact was the guys cussing out my brother were hackers and they couldn't keep up with us while on gas carts...Anyways I told my bro, you need to get some lessons in order to really enjoy the nice clubs/ courses :) All smiles after that!
  22. Good Luck! Whether you can do it or not with this dedication you will improve! NO DOUBT! Subscribed...
