Yeah, l should have done that. Live and learn. yeah it she greatly improved after the second hole once she had calmed down.

Awsome can't wait!

JetFan: No the course was not too busy. There wasn't anyone behind us for more than 45+ mins. After the first hole we didn't hold anyone up b/c their wasn't anyone else behind us for a long time and that is why i chose a late afternoon,middle of the week tee time. First off, i have no need to try to impress my g/f. Secondly I had my shit together and was trying to be a thoughtful and responsible player and allow speed golfers (like you!) play through. Not everyone can play a 2.5 hr 18 holes. sorry if you have been held up by slower inconsiderate groups before. Not all beginners or novice players are jack wipes and won't let you go ahead. We wonder why golf gets such a stuck up name. General respect for another player is gone just because they aren't as good as you and happen to play slower than you. In Conclusion: I wasn't happy with the way the staff treated me. If you a low handicapper and don't mind some abuse go for it. For the slower high handicappers still learning you might want to think twice about play at that golf course.

Im agree about the carts in the park lot issue. But the guy could have been more professional in going about telling me their rules. I didn't know they had a bag drop because i couldn't see it until i came out of the other side of the pro shop. Okay the pace of play problem was caused by myself. i was attempting to being a proactive golfer and knowing i was holding people up and trying to allow the faster 1 player group behind me go by. Yes the ranger may have had a bad day but is that any reason to be so snappy? If the guy had just have not snapped into his speech i would have told him what i was doing, which was what he wanted. Basic respect for customers and customer service goes along way, just ask the Executive of Home Depot.

Yeah that would be a good thing to do. I will get on that in the next day or so. For those who think I'm just anonymously bashing a golf club, I'm just tell my experience at a particular course. Okay, I will give you all a run down. I'm a 25 yr old and recent college grad and as you can see I'm a high handicapper, I play Public and Muni courses all the time here in Atlanta. I have never been a private club member nor played at a private club ever before. I went to Vero Beach for Christmas vacation with my girlfriend. We had decided to we would play a round while in Vero. Their weren't many public course in the area in which we were staying. I used Golfnow and found Sandridge golf course, a Municipal course about 20 mins from where we were staying. I booked a mid afternoon tee time. Well the day comes and we go to the course and head into the club house. I'm greeted by the pro shop staff and I checked in about 1 hr prior to tee time so we could hit some range balls. After checking in, we headed outside to check out the carts. As we walked toward the cart house I was asked "what are you doing?" in a stern tone. I responded with "checking out the cart situation." The gentleman in near the cart house says "where are your bags?" I replied "by my car". "Well we don't allow our carts in the parking lot" said the gentleman in a rude tone as he points at a sign behind me. "Oh, okay I didn't know that..." I said. "That is why we have a bag drop" said the man cut me off in a condescending tone. So my girlfriend and went to car to get our clubs. I was upset but hey, at least I'm not at work. We get our cart and head to the range without any other problems. We finish up on the range and head down to the first hole, we are about 10 mins early of our tee time. We wait as the group ahead of us plays on. My girlfriend and I get paired with another guy for our round. We all tee off, and play to the green, then clear off to the second hole. We were very slow for the first hole and a group had come up behind us while on the first hole. Being that the next hole was a par 5 and that my girlfriend is new to golf we waited to let the group behind play through. Next thing i know i hear a cart come up behind me and its a Ranger. I say hello to the gentleman and he doesn't say anything back expect for, " y'all are playing way to slow, we have pace rules around here. I know she doesn't know what she is doing but she will need to hurry up. If you can't keep pace you need to let people play through." I just said "know we are letting the group behind play through" I know that is a tough job dealing with golfers and slow play but it could have been handled more professionally. I spoke with a manager after the round and he said he would handle it. I have never been treated badly at a golf course until then. I don't expect country club service but i do expect to get some respect. After that experience i will not be spending my hard earned dollars at that course. The course was fun to play and nicely kept but be fore warned they may be disrespectful at that place.

I was in Northern Vero Beach last week, and played a round at Sandridge Golf Club. One of only a few public golf courses near by. Well it was horrible. The cart staff was rude and had very snob better than you attitude. Then the Ranger was very inconsiderate and rude. They need to teach there 60+ yr old staff how to treat customers if they ever want anyone to come back. The management said they would handle it but I have a feeling that wasn't going to happen. Just be careful if you go down there and play golf. If you can play any of the private course you would be much better off.

I don't mind the cold too much but would much rather play in the spring and fall!

Im not a GC or CC member but my former roomie is a General Manager of a local course and he says make sure its not a First In First Out GC or CC. If the worst happens and you get laid off or just kick playing golf you could be on the hook for dues until your name comes up on the exiting list. Thanks for some other insight on GC and CC. I was looking at them too but but can justify the cost yet. That dang cart fee everytime pushes my cost up for those after work 9's that i would play if i were a member. For the GC and CC member do you find yourself playing more than a when you used to daily fee?

I have had issues with golfsmith in the past about miss handling my rangefinder and taking 3 weeks to get it to me when it was supposed to be shipped second day! But they totally redeemed themselves this past weekend. I had a crack and delamination of the carbon in my Callaway FTiz shaft. I went into golfsmith(where i got it) and showed them and they replaced it with no problem even allowed me to change out of the tour head. They shipped it and i got it 3 days later. Thank you Golfsmith for making this such an easy resolution.

yepp got mine and already tried it out!!! it may take a little getting used to but nothing i can't handle

Interesting . Note taken!!

That is Great. Those are so funny!

Im pumped about it too! I got my email yesterday!! cant wait to get my new FT iZ. I think im going to play mine b/c im tired of my old hibore

Anyone know where i can download HD golf wallpapers for free? Thanks everyone

yeah the cart girls at the course i play are decent. My buddy was a Manager of a course and had to fire a cart girl for turning tricks out on the course!!
