Shripe

Two straight losses for me.. I couldn't get reliable enough backups in for 3 RB/WR byes this week and got taken down a notch by the now-#1 team.

Hey guys, I found out yesterday that I was one of 64 finalists in Toppers Pizza's house pizza contest, where you had to create a pizza (name and ingredients) and submit it for a chance to have it featured on Toppers' menu, along with pizza for a year and $500. The 64 finalists are set up in a March Madness-type bracket, with rounds of heads-up type matches deciding the winner. The victor in each matchup is decided by the number of "likes" and unique comments (meaning 1 comment per person) on the image that Toppers creates for that person's pizza (name, pizza, ingredients... Mine is the Big Thin Greek Pizza). I was hoping I could recruit some of you guys toward my cause. :) My matchup for Round 1 is on November 5th at 11am-12pm CT. Round 1 only lasts 1 hour, with later rounds lasting all the way up to 6 hours. The image that Toppers will upload goes up on their fan page at the start of the matchup. Their fan page is located at: www.facebook.com/ToppersRocks I also set up an event page on Facebook so that it can serve as a reminder for those who may forget: http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=101879406547769 Thanks in advance for anyone who wants to help!

Wouldn't the question be "When is it too cold to keep playing golf?" but anyway, I basically only play in 60+ degree weather. Since I'm still a beginner, when it gets colder I end up having one more thing to be annoyed about, so it puts me off my game :P

Bwahahaha. In our league, I scored over 110 points thanks to a pretty much overall awesome performance from everyone. Undefeated!

A hook, if only for a change of pace.

+1 on the AVS Midsize Pistol. I "inherited" mine with my Heavy Putter and I really like it. Given the weight of the putter, the grip just fits well at its size. I don't think I could manage it with a smaller grip.

I missed the draft as well, though have made a couple moves to juggle things about during the byes. I'm undefeated thus far. :D though my WR corps is somewhat lacking, and am pretty much even this week against my opponent in projected points. I need another LT breakout game, or someone else like Rivers..

I picked those up as well, and had the same result. Such comfortable shoes, and in my hard-to-find 12.5.

Ah, that gecko. :P

Oy... gotta win 2..

Watching the scoring updates on the RC website.. C'MON USA!

Ouch... Definitely have to agree with you on your little bit of advice. In January, after several months of prepping to run a half marathon, I had a peroneal tendon injury (only a strain, as is common with runners) the week before the race. I was so ticked... and ended up not seriously running for a few months after as I lost the motivation. Just plan out a way to get golfing again so you keep that motivation! Although I'm sure getting that motivation is a lot easier in terms of golf than it is for running... haha

Actually, he's 8 now, considering it was posted 36 months ago...

It's not the tree branches that like to attack my ball.. It's the ball that's attracted to the trees. I hate trees on the right, since my ball keeps seeking them out. Then again, I have a slice issue.

I have TW10 for the Wii and I've had difficulties hitting a full swing with the Wiimote. My impulsive side has thought about getting a PS3 (to sadly complete the console system triad) but I've passed thus far.

Any updates on stats and such?

Without the putter, I'd have to say I use my 3H the most (at the moment avoiding driver and 3W until I can get lessons next season so I don't ingrain something awful), then my wedges... Haven't played enough to really set up a hierarchy, but I'd probably say my 52* then my 60*.

I ended up finding a pair of cosmetic-blemished Tour 360 4.0s on sale with golflocker.com for $84.95, so I pounced on those. :D I'll probably blemish them more in one round than what I'll find with them, they said.

Finally pulled the trigger on new golf shoes to replace my 10-year-old (not worn for most of 9 years out of those 10 lol) shoes today. Golflocker.com has factory blemished Adidas Tour 360 4.0s for only $84.95 and free shipping. :D

I had this issue a couple days ago as well. Granted that since I don't have lessons under my belt, my swing isn't exactly prime for flushed shots, it was just a lot worse than normal. I can generally manage to catch the ball without topping it or chunking it, but that wasn't at all guaranteed last time. I even had a couple of those embarrassing shots that send the ball about 10 feet right and about 5 feet forward... >_<

I second the comment on the 4.0s fitting my feet better. I had the choice (as a 12.5) to try ton those, the Innolux, or another Adidas shoe I couldn't remember. Tried on two of them and stopped at the Tour 360 4.0s once I put them on. Immediately they felt so much better than the others, and they were comfortable to walk in. I just didn't want to pay $180 at the time. I'm still holding off even though I've found them on eBay for about $112 ($100+ship). The only golf shoes I have are spikeless and from 10 years ago, more of a style pair than functional, and I haven't bothered to get new ones (mainly been playing in my $100 running shoes :P).

I'm eyeing a Clicgear 3.0 if I can find one at a good price... $200 seems high, and Golfsmith/GG don't allow you to use discounts on Clicgear items (or I suppose Clicgear doesn't allow it). I want one out of necessity since if I golf at the course near me, I'm walking a mile each way in addition to the course. Just walking a mile back (when I was dropped off) the first time I golfed there, I somehow hurt my leg from carrying the bag and was away from golf for a few days.

Well, since I couldn't make it, I'm going to have to use my old attempt, which was my first try at that length (heck, that course) anyway. Estimated a 60 on a par 33 9-hole course (w/par 3s and par 4s, 2414 yds and 62.4/100 from the forward red tees), hit a 58. Not sure what else I need to say. I wasn't all that great on placement on the green, so my putts weren't so good, but I don't have exact data since I didn't realize you had to SAVE a scorecard within BBGPSGolf. Worst hole was a 10, had a couple 5's as well mixed with 6's and 8's for the other holes. I didn't keep score on the main scorecard either. :(

Also, I wanted to add that I almost always wear a polo shirt when golfing, though there have been times where I wear a normal tee if I'm only going to be at the range. I happened to pick up a couple good Izod polos at Boston Store a month or two ago at $15 each (half off plus coupon), nice deal. :)

I'm not one to wear pants during the summer, as I'd be quite uncomfortable. To date I haven't yet played any golf with them, as I mainly stick to cargo shorts already. Since I have no plans to hit any course beyond the inexpensive munis, it doesn't matter to me. And about the cell phone, I don't really use it for calling all that often, and on the course it's only for GPS purposes.
