I picked up some of theses including the mat that you hit off of. They really are so neat. I've used them plenty of times and they work wonderfully

Im in the market for some new golf shirts and pants/shorts. Whats a good place to look besides the obvious? Im looking for some stand out colors like neon orange and neon green... Thanks for any suggestions

A buddy on mine had back surgery late last year. He still has some discomfort if he turns a certain way. Long story short, he was invited by his girlfriend to go play with her and her father at Trump National. Supposedly there is a large outdoor dining area looking over the first tee box. So he was last to tee off, he takes a few practice swings, feeling pretty good. and then he lets it rip. he hits on top of the ball and it goes about 20 yards. His girlfriend and her father were already at their carts waiting to go after their balls while he is hunched over, still at the tee box, not able to move. so his girlfriend had to go get him and walk him back to the cart, going a step a minute. he said everyone eating lunch got up and went to the balcony and was watching the entire thing. needless to say, he didnt finish the round

I would try using maybe a '63 quarter, maybe you can go really low

I think it might be where i position the ball in my stance. at the range today, i played it closer to my back foot and got more distance on all my shots. im gonna try to get a video up soon.

9 iron about 120 PW about 100-110

Let me start out by saying, Im not a long hitter with most of my irons/wedges. My problem is hitting my wedges correctly. I hit my 50* and 54* the same distance, both about 75 yards. Now would you say im hitting my 54* to long or my 50* to short? Also how can i put some distance between the 2? Thanks

Yeah i use the PW. For a while its the only wedge i used for any distance within 100 yards. I bought the sand wedge, but its not that great. I replaced it with a vokey

It also seems like something fishy is going on at my home course. we have an automated tee time system. so you can call up to 6 days in advance. so you'd call on monday to make a tee time for sunday. and only so many people can call at once. So i usually try to call at 12 am on monday so i have a good selection of tee times. the past few months i call at 12:05 am and every tee time is taken but the 4pm times.... how is that possible? that means 128 people had to have reserved a time in 5 minutes. or if they all made times for a foursome thats still 32 calls in 5 minutes... impossible... What could be going on?

wrx_junki yes im in North Jersey. and the course that i play isnt that nice, its just the closest. The fairway are usually covered with brown spots and there's always at least one temporary green, usually like 2 or 3

I searched the forum and couldnt find anything on this.... Im just trying to see if Im getting ripped off.. What are the greens fees at the local courses you guys play? For 18 holes with a cart on a weekend midday, its like $60. Thats also if you have a county card which costs $35 to begin with.... Just curious what you guys pay to play?

although i normally play whatever ball i can find, i never spend more than $20 on a box, but i just read an article in golf digest recently that said... Its like the guy that is going hunting for the first time and buys more than enough camo for himself, a very expensive German shotgun, then goes out and buys his shells from piggly wiggly. If youre going to spend a lot of money on the weapon (clubs), you should spend enough money on the ammunition (balls) to get the job done.

So here's the deal. Recently i've taken my driver out of the bag because i cant seem to consistently hit it straight. So now i'm using my 3 wood or 5 wood. There's only about a 10 yard difference, give or take, between my 3 and 5 wood. I only use my 5 wood when i feel that im starting to hit my 3 wood a little off target. So my question is... Should i try to get a 4 wood and swap out my 3 and 5 wood? And what is a good 4 wood? Thanks

its about $31,000 a year based on location

at the closest range to my house, its $10 for 110 balls. but its a mat range so im not a big fan

I thought this was happening to my callaway driveway. I saw the paint chipping, looked at the warranty and found out that callaway's warranty doesnt cover cosmetic damage, so i just dropped it. Then on the 17th hole one afternoon, the club head snapped in half. Thankfully callaway sent be a brand new driver. Point of the story is, make sure it is purely cosmetic damage before you paint it. you might have cracked the club. Hopefully that didn't happen.

yeah man it can happen whenever. mine started to fade after the first time out

i really wish they put a bar in the club house or somewhere near the golf course... we're not even allowed to bring beers onto the course. they give you a really hard time, so you gotta conceal it very well

I was just wondering how many of your home courses have bars at them? I play at a community course, so there isnt a bar at the course It might be the only downside to the course

any other thoughts?

That sounds like fun man i think i'll try it out next time.... Thanks

So i just got off the course and i was playing with one of my good friends. He's basically the only one of my friends that golf. He's getting really into which im excited about. His goal is to beat me, which shouldn't be that difficult. Anyway, on every hole, we'd walk off and he'd ask me what i got and no matter how good he did, he would only have a stroke less than me. If he really screwed up a hole he'd only be a stroke over me, no matter how bad he did. So basically there is no clear indication of how he played. i like to be competitive, but not when people cheat.. How can i fix this/ what should i do? sorry for the long rant, i just had to vent a little.

i bought a callaway squareway 3 wood. its pretty sexy looking, cant wait to try it out

I was wondering if any of you have ever broken a callaway driver? I have a callaway FT-i driver that i got in April. I played twice this weekend, and after playing on sunday, i noticed some paint chips. Callaway's warranty policy states that cosmetic damages arent accepted under the warenty. So i played with it monday and it worked well the whole round, but didnt sound right. Then on the 17th hole, the entire head cracked from front to back, almost cracked off. Has anyone seen this? i'll try to post pics up soon

i dont know if they mess up the grooves, but if your clubs have a chrome finish, then the metal brushes will mess up the finish.
