I got paired with a guy once who hit it like 5 times off every tee, then had to scramble around to find his balls that were scattered all over the place. He would stand up to the ball, hit it to the right (not a slice, just straight to the right) everytime. Put another ball down, do the same exact thing, and repeat. You'd think he'd change something to try and hit it differently, but he didn't. Just the same swing, same address, and the same result everytime. I left after nine. I couldn't take it anymore.

A few weeks ago while wating to tee off, my playing partner and I hear this very loud screech from the adjacent tee box. There is a pond about 20 yards or so to the right and we look over there just in time to see a hawk dive down and grab a great white egret which is about 2 - 3 times the size of this hawk. The hawk then takes it to the adjacent tee box and proceeds to bite and peck and do whatever else it takes to kill this egret. After the egret stopped struggling, the hawk plucked every single feather off the egret and enjoyed his lunch. All this happened in a matter of less than 5 minutes. We both watched this hawk and finally looked at each other and said "Wow!" It was like a Natioanl Geographic moment or something.

I haven't thought about quitting for good, but I have taken time off. I have broken a lot of bad habits in my time, but I don't think I could give up golf for good. It's the only thing I have left at this point.

OMG! I agree with the others, disgusting, yet funny. Sorry you had to be the one to find it!

I have the rubberized Face Savers. I use them during transportation and while I'm on the course to prevent the clubs from banging together. The noise can get quite bothersome for me at times. When I"m not playing and my clubs are stored, They come off. Got them from a local driving range here on the clearance rack for under $10. Definitely keeps the noise down.

After reading a few of the threads here and reading the article about balls in Golf Digest, I picked up a dozen of the Top Flite Gamer V2's. Curiosity got the best of me.

I was on pace to shoot my lowest score ever last week, until I got to the 16th hole. I sliced my tee shot far right, right into the woods. Then I did it again on my next shot. Ended up with a 9 on that hole and it killed my score and I ended up shooting my high average. Goes to show how a mental lapse on one hole can do you in.

On Wednesday, I got my first chip in birdie. 170 yard par 3, tee shot landed just off the green on the collar about 20 feet from the hole. Used a 9 iron just to get the ball moving and it dropped in for a 2. First birdie from off the green.
