For golf packages in Vegas check out Golfpac.com. I played a few years ago Red Rock CC - Arroyo course and it was great.

Closest to Miami International Airport is Miami International Links (formerly Melreese), which is pricey for visitors in AM, but I think its $40 after 1pm. Doral gold, red & McLean course tee times can be found for less than $100 @ EZlinks.com.... I highly recommend the Jim McLean course ranked #30 public/resort course in FL by golf magazine. Also, check out golfnow.com and you can get cheap rates at Biltmore & Shula's for $35-60 range.

Anybody played Key West GC recently? thinking of making a day trip and wondered about the course conditions?

Taylor Made Rossa Daytona 1 Ghost putter... bad a$$!!!

It's $30 w/ Premier card until Nov. 15th...FYI.

4 hybrid. I'm guessing your 5W is 18* and 5i is 24*? My Adams A7 3 hybrid is 19* so 4 hybrid 22*would fill the gap between 5W & 5i.

09 burners are great... but it takes a few weeks to hit em right. My 4-6 iron shafts are slightly longer than my old Titleist 804 OS irons. This is my 2nd set of irons so I recommend a used or discounted set first while you're new to the game.

I played the FT-5 draw for about 2 years and it was a good driver. Definitely louder than the new drivers. After some lessons and improving my swing, it became a happy hooker with the draw bias so I switched to a neutral driver. If you have issues with a slice or push, it'll help you out.

Check out the Ping G15 4W... easy to hit off the fairway. I also switched from Nickent to Adams A7 idea 3 hybrid w/ UST mamiya shaft... bad a$$.

So what did you shoot? I can't break 90 from the blues... there's a reason why it hosted Q school qualifying last year. That's one of my favorite courses in the Miami metro area.... but disappointed it's not on the premier card.

Ping G15 is a great driver if you're looking for forgiveness and playability.

Check out Wildhorse & Red Rock Arroyo course ... i played both 2007 - 2008 and were great deals for under $100.

I went to a bachelor party back in Feb 2008 and we played golf in 60 degree weather with 20+ mph winds!! We considered not playing when we couldn't feel our hands during warmups, but we toughed it out and actually had a great time. We played Wildhorse country club and it was a nice track for $50 - $60. I'd recommend playing with two gloves lol... hopefully you guys will have better weather.

I've never purchased a bucket which is usually AAA grade, but I buy my Pro V1s AAAA grade by the dozen and they are almost perfect!!! 50%-60% savings and they look/play brand new!

What course in Las Vegas did Ray Romano play in tonight's episode? The flags had the initials "SH", but I can't find any courses with those initials... what a sweet course!! Could it be Shadow Creek? Anyone recognize the course?

I'm happy to say that I received a text today from the old man stating he's buy new irons this week. Maybe I'll borrow his new 7 iron next time we play... lol. Thanks for all the informative, entertaining and odd responses to this thread!!!

Hilarious... but that's not happening.

So here's the deal. I play with my father-in-law every weekend and he does not carry a 7 iron in the bag so he asks about 5-6 per round to borrow it. I didn't mind at first, but now it's getting annoying especially on par 3's when I use the same club (he always has to hit first.... prefers 3 hour rounds). I'm starting to wonder if this is bad golf etiquette? I've sarcastically told him I'm going to start charging a convenience fee every time he uses it.... that didn't work. I'm in a tough spot because it's family, but for christ's sake buy a 7 iron or a new set!!! What would you guys do?

I used to hit the Callaway FT-5. Great club and you can probably pick one up brand new for $150

I'd rather play used Pro V1's than a Nike ball.... and still cheaper than $30/dozen.

Taylormade has their 2008 Burner clubs on sale (driver, fairway woods, hybrid & irons). Check out this link below from TGW.com. http://www.tgw.com/customer/category...adepricebreaks

You can still play "expensive balls" if buy them used thru lostgolfballs.com or ebay. I get my pro V1s 50-60% off retail price and they look brand new.

A friend told me that ZF tees will mark and eventually crack the face of your driver? Anyone heard about this?

At the top of the backswing, do you cup your left wrist? If so, this opens the face and you'll fade everything. It's important to have a flat left wrist which will automatically square the face at impact. I had a similar issue recently and my instructor gave me the SKLZ smart glove which doesn't allow me to cup the left wrist .... big help! If not, then you're mostly likely coming over the top.

Adams A7 idea hybrids.... gotta demo that one mate!
