Don't listen to the negativity...it's coming from a bunch of guys who never had a chance in the first place. They are just jealous of your early success. You got yourself to a 7.8 in just a few months. You can do it. I played college baseball and consider myself pretty athletic, but I've been playing and practicing regularly for about 9 months and my best score has been an 87. I'm impressed with what you have done in such little time. Look at Rickie Fowler...he didn't pick up golf all that long ago. He went from a 14 year old dirt bike racer to NCAA golfer of the year as a freshman in 3 1/2 years.

OK thanks guys.

I just saw a player mark his ball on the fairway...pick it up...and place it back on the fairway. It must be legal. I've never seen this before. I'm assuming you can only do this on the greens or fairways over there. I'm pretty sure it's not legal over here.

Yes, that's it, but you probably have to go into the store to get the $69 price. It may also be a regional sale.

I went to the PGA Tour Superstore today (6/21/2010) and they had the Sun Mountain Zero G stand bags on sale for under $70. As far as I know, this is normally a $180 bag. It might be a regional sale, but if they have them in your area it is worth checking it out.

Check your local golf store...they have things you can use in place of the rubber golf tees.

I "won" a free hybrid for hitting the green on a par 3 at a tournament...the shipping was $29.99 so I didn't get the club.

OK...thanks. I appreciate the info.

Not even the Bridgestone website says anything about the '+' series balls.

What is the difference? I tried searching and couldn't find an answer. Thanks for your help.

If they are really your buddies...they won't be able to 'recall' what happened.

I agree with this.

I personally wouldn't do it. They have these balancing things for sale at Sport Chalet for $40. I have never tried it, but I'm not going to bash you for doing it. It probably only takes a few minutes and who knows...maybe there is an advantage. I would never know though because I don't hit the ball consistently enough to tell one ball from the other much less a balanced ball from a non-balanced ball.

Lots of advise here...but it is falling on deaf ears...the original poster has yet to come back to this thread.
