Any rule that is currently hampering my score is a dumb rule ;)

A different putter can increase your confidence and that, if nothing else, can make you a better putter. Liking the weight, alignment aids, shape, etc. helps too! Tappin' on my Thunderbolt

Completely agree. They make great gloves at a great price. If you haven't tried them you should. They make good bags also, I actually ordered one last week. Google "master grip" to find the website.

Oh yeah? Did you try it out anywhere or are you just going to pick one up? No one sells them within 60 miles of me unless you pre order it, so I can't even find one to test out.

Can you take a picture of this and post it? I just wonder what it looks like.

I'd like to say I only carry a dozen or so, but I'm not going to look in my bag and actually count because it'd be higher. And as for how many at home, if I count playable balls I'm probably around 6 dozen or so (all mixed brands). I also have a bucket of shag balls... SouthernGolfer - have you ever tried to use brush tees? I have used them (don't use them currently) and actually kept ONE TEE for an ENTIRE SEASON. That was playing 1x a week.

Interesting point. I agree and am pretty loyal during a round. The problem is that at this point I'm stocking up on misc. "onesies and twosies" of different balls that I want to use, but I'm OCD. So I'm going on a golf weekend trip and instead of using the 3-4 dozen mixed balls I went out and bought a double dozen precept laddie x...... sigh....

So here's the question, are you loyal to one kind of ball during any given round? I tend to want to play one type of ball for a full 18 holes (ie only Bridgestone E6, only Precept Laddie X, etc.). For some reason I have the belief that although I'm an 18 handicap, using different balls will affect my yardages/approach shots/etc. (even though that 5 yards longer that's advertised on the box probably only means for the driver) so I want to use 1 ball strictly for the consistency... So what do you believe? Are you "ball loyal" or not, and why? Do you think the ball makes a significant difference in one singular round? If you are loyal to one ball, which one is it and why? Personally I go after low spin balls because of my "potentially errant drives." RJ

Saw this in a magazine yesterday. I'm not a huge fan of the Wilson Staff stuff, but this thing looks pretty sweet in the way it helps you line up the putt. Not sure if I like the head shape or not, but I tend to like mallets if they're not super heavy. The slot in the top shows you if your eyes are directly over the top of the putter with the color on the lower level. If you see red you're eyes are either inside or outside. If you just see the silver you're aligned. (Sidenote-hit a Wilson Staff Spine last weekend and other than the wierd sound it makes it hit well)

Awesome bag, I want one. Go Steelers!

I tried to use that thought process while playing with my dad and he countered my logic with, "and the human body is made up of 75% water, so go stand in front of me and let's see if we can slosh one through you!" :)

Anybody tried these out? What did you think? I saw the "anti-slice" at walmart and wanted to see if those claims could possibly be true... And how they feel?

He is hilarious, but his viewers are pretty funny too. He did a twitter screenplay on one episode where fans wrote him into a film one line at a time, and I laughed so hard that I started crying and my wife made fun of me!

Funny story - buddy did this a couple of weeks ago with his PW (threw it into OB trees over a fence).... very next hole he was #xx yards out from a green over water and I said, "Man, that's a perfect pitching wedge shot for you..." He didn't think it was quite so funny.

I think the correct spelling is "penii" ('peen-eye) when you're talking about a multitude of penis :)..... obviously, kidding!!!! My buddy loses a couple of clubs a year, but that's because they end up in a lake or hung up in trees..... barbaric but fun to watch!

Here's one example of what's on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/TaylorMade-R7-7-...?pt=Golf_Clubs Good luck!

Nope. I saw them at 2 different Walmarts over the weekend. I honestly don't think you're missing that much though. I tried them and they were ok, but they weren't very durable (even though they were more durable than the originals), and I don't scuff balls much unless I'm lucky enough to catch cartpath.... I actually still have a sleeve sitting in my golf closet.... check your local Wallyworld.

I say let out the club ho!

My dad and I call each other "Shanksquatch," and when when one goes into the woods we say (in our best news anchor voice) "There was a shanksquatch sighting on the golf course today!" or "I just saw big foot!" or something to that effect. We also have an ultimate competition called "the Kingship." My sister bought us each a Ping polo a couple Christmas' ago that has a crown logo on the chest that says "The King" below it. Every time we play it is a battle for the crown, with the winner gaining all bragging and shirt wearing rights in the family. The winner gets to brag, heckle, and basically torture the other by calling him nave and peasant and wearing the shirt until he's defeated the next time. We're both good sports, so the loser typically plays it up and gets the "king's" bag out of the trunk, etc..... unfortunately I've not won in so long my shirt is probably moth eaten....

Impressively quick answer! 3 minutes between our posts! I don't think you thought it was as funny as I did though.

Are you interested in playing golf with him or seeing his tremendous testicles? Just trying to clarify....

Personally I don't think you'll be able to tell much of a difference with a 3 wheel push cart unless you walk a pretty hilly course, and then you might feel it on the uphills. But let us know what it feels like after you do it!

Didn't someone on one of The Big Break seasons play barefoot? I've seen someone on tv do it, but for the life of me I can't remember where from. And no, wearing sandals doesn't make you gay, nerdy, or a half-blood hobbit gnome in world of warcraft.... it's just not my cup of tea. It's more entertaining to read and post funny threads, so everyone try to get your knickers out of wads. Laugh guys, I'll make fun of sandals just like you'll make fun of my green golfing bucket hat, or the tu-tu I "allegedly" wear on the 2nd weekend of every month... woops, I mean...

Nice to hear a low capper say that. There's a course I used to play locally that I've stopped going to because as soon as summer starts they let the grass get thigh high in 70% of the rough. Way to penalizing for a public course. Thought I was the only one thinking it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAH I'm suprised no one has asked you this yet, and it really doesn't matter as far as the guy picking up your ball, but did you hit it in the rough, in another fairway, or close to the guy? Could he have had a "vendetta" against you? How old was he, did you hit his cane, or perhaps tell him he smelled like old moth balls? Edit: Reread your first post and see that you were "off the fairway" but by how much?
