I remember a discussion a while back about one of the well known pros who was notorious for ruining swings... the saying went something like "he's been Leadbettered" only Im not sure if it was Leadbetter.. anyone know who I am talking about?

So it seems a lot of folks like the old Callaway Blues and that Dicks often has older balls in stock,,, So one should check their local Dicks for Blue Balls? sorry :)

I cant remember the last time I left a golf course angry.... even when I shoot like crap.. it was still a good walk.

I have the 07 burner, owned the tour burner, and the 09 burner. I still hit the 07 burner. I hit the TP burners and the 09 TP had a board for a shaft, but the head felt very forgiving and lively... I still think the 07 burner was the best one yet, and prices at used club stores back me up on this, but the 09 was a decent club and definately a step above the Tour Burner.

Well I stopped reading on about page three, but this has happened to me in Yuma AZ, Desert Hills, San Diego at both the Stadium Driving Range and the old range down of I-8, Hawaii, Navy/Marine course, and VA at a range I cant remember near Quantico. Guess a: I am a frequent rule breaker and b: I need to stop dressing like a pro when helping a friend out :) I will admit that the incident at Navy/Marine invovled a video camera as well.

Oh I clearly said I wasnt smart enough to figure it out.

before all this I would have said 90 % chance he passes Jack.. now.. ill say 80%. I am not a Tiger fan and dont want him to do it, but he is still young and very talented.

I nominate this thread as the asshat thread of the month.

If you are not smart enough to figure out who won your bet.. maybe you should pick an easier bet??? I know I cant begin to understand what the hell you are asking.. stick to skins :)

I think you should carry until you reach 40,, after that, get an old man push cart.. like I did :) I dont like seeing young guys pushing.. they should carry.. IMHO

First and foremost buy a laser range finder. Find yourself a football field or other place you can measure off yardage from 10-15 yards. Make targets at each of these distances, get your shag bag and take your wedges. I carry a 60, 56, 52 and 48pw. Now learn how far a 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and full swing goes. Take some masking tape and write each of these distances on your shafts. I.E. a 1/4 swing 60 goes 20 yards. You will have to become consistent in your take aways and disciplined in your swing lengths. I think this is a variation of what Pelz teaches. If you are really comitted to the game, lay down a couple grand and go to one of Pelz's short game academies.. I would bet they could solve your problem. A lo of places wont let you practice on their grass,, I used to carry a piece of driving range turf with me when I wanted to practice, of course that was in Iraq, where I did a similar process as above.

MRT.. my initials, 10x = 10 x's in a pistol competition,, or 10 perfect bullseyes in a 10 shot string of fire, I used to shoot on the Marine Corps pistol team.. been using it for almost 20 years now.

depends on the range finder.. my bushnell 1600 will certainly not fit into the console..

get a prescription for 800 mg motrin

The problem with cheap range finders is that they cant pick up a pin past 150 yards. They might be able to get targets at your driving range, but they are useless on the course. When my Bushnell 1500 broke, I replaced it with their less expensive model.. I used it for 3 rounds and brought it back for a 1600.

I am a dedicated AYBT (Anyone but Tiger) member, and have been since the beginning, but to deny that he is not the best golfer of our generation, at least, is just foolish. I will still hold out that Jack was the best until Tiger passes his records, but I think that is just a bit of denial.

actually the way you wrote it, you presented your own scenario and then answered your scenario.. not the OP's. r/s The Internet Police

The blues, the whites, the reds, the blacks.. non of that applies to PGA and LPGA tournaments.. they set the distances from day to day, and one day they may be playing a par 3 at 155 and the next at 200... so which tees did they play??? Well they played "the reds" on holes 1, 5, 7, and 18 but only on Thurs... see what I am saying? It is all about total distance of the layout.. like the previous posters said.. they aim for an overall length of 6200-6400 yards.. push it out to 6600-7000 for majors.

I read a blurb in the latest Golf or Golf Illustrated where one of the main writers said he would pick Bandon Dunes over the Monterey Penninsula in a heartbeat.

I own a ton of putters, several scotty's, a bettinardi, a couple of RIFEs, etc. I have three putters that are nearly identical in shape and style, a Cameron California Del Mar, my Bettinardi Studio Stock 4, and a Cleveland Classic 2. The Del Mar was $300, the Bettinardi was $365 and the Cleveland was $60. I can tell you with 100% honesty that the Cleveland is every bit the putter the other two are. Not as pretty, but just as effective. I put on a daily basis with the Bettinardi, but if the greens are sanded, like they are now, the Cleveland gets the nod. Unfortunately for the OP they dont make a straight shafted center shaft model. I would go with one of the RIFEs for that type.

just finished watching on DVR... I am now officially a Brian Davis fan.. compare and contrast to Michelle Wie.

The preceding posts have been an exercise in "how to say the exact same thing in as many ways as possible." We will now return to your normal programming.

I DVR'd every moment of coverage all 4 days and watched every minute of it... I then watched the re-caps on thurs and fri as well... I still have sunday on dvr and may watch it again someday. you can hook most DVR's up to a VCR or a DVD R/W and burn the recorded show onto that format.. it is an option here on Time Warner and I think it was on Cox in San Diego as well.
