I played a course called Cobb's Creek outside Philly and I have to say it was the most unique golf course to date. The front nine was quirky doglegs, blind shots, and a near impossible par 3 off a mat with a tree guarding it. Then for some reason the back nine gets incredibly long with multiple 450 par 4s. One green had on oak tree overhanging it and there were a million acorns over the green! I remember hitting a great chip and 20 feet short it bounced straight up in the air.

Used in moderation there are studies showing that THC has anti carcinogenic properties. A vape and a beer every keeps the doctor away. Also, I've been around weed for about 15 years now and I have never seen, now heard of anyone getting weed "laced" with something else. If you believe bad weed is a significant problem, it only goes for the legalization argument. During alcohol prohibition bath tub gin hurt a lot of people. Right now maybe the worst drug is meth because anyone can make it, but it is terrible for you.

Using marijuana on the golf course is super lame. What are you guys stuck in the 70s or something? Now me, I do bath salts all round long.

Someone give Furyk a long putter. Watching him freak out over his putts is painful and unnecessary. I feel for the guy but damn you can't anchor a chip shot.

leftie playing righthanded except for putting?
BMac0223 replied to bogdan101's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
I've always thought we play golf backwards. A right handed golfer will stand on the left side of the ball and use his left hand as the dominant hand throughout the swing. A strong shot goes left, a draw goes left. Are we doing it wrong? My strong hand in putting is my right. I think maybe I should be playing lefty and putting righty. -
How about the stance Tiger had for his second bunker shot! I've seen some weird stances from those deep European bunkers but that was unreal. Too bad he made triple.
-
Has there ever been a study to show that anchoring a putter results in more accurate putts? I don't believe that it gives you any sort of advantage. The best players in the world putt traditionally and I think they always will. Can you imagine Tiger being any better with a broomstick?

It doesn't matter how many games the man won for PSU or how good a guy he seemed. He was a very bad person whom we should shun to make sure more people in the future don't act in the same manner. PSU needs to suspend their football program or the NCAA will do it for them and the death penalty will be detrimental to the long term program.

I love my laser but I will say the downside is that not all courses have pins with the prism things on them. It becomes rather useless to use when on level ground at that point. Iacas said it best about the battery life though. A 9V battery will last a very long time.

I think dressing good lowers your handicap 1 stroke. Golf is a game of confidence and when you step up to the first tee feeling like a badass, you are setting yourself up for a good round. I think Rickie Fowler's swag helps his game(and bank account as well).

I've got the Rocketballz 9 and from my experience fooling around with it the higher the loft the more the ball will leak to the right(I'm a righty). I have it set up 9.75 and it pretty much totally straightened out my draw. The lower the loft, the more the draw comes out. I am coming off a R9 460 and am finding it harder to work the ball with the RBZ, but it's so damn straight I can't complain at all.

That could be the worst thing to think about when going for a "hero" shot. When I take those shots I say there is literally no chance I will hit the tree(even though there obviously is). If you are scared as you take that shot you will be more likely to hurt yourself. This type of shot may be the most exciting shot on the golf course for me. The worst break I can think of is hitting the staff on our severe back to front 1st hole and having 30 yards in for my 3rd.

anyone make a double eagle (albatross) and not a hole-in-one?
BMac0223 replied to onthehunt526's topic in Golf Talk
My grandfather was a top notch golfer who won 3 New York State Ams and played in the Masters twice and he never had a hole in one in his entire life. He had 7 albatrosses though. The hole in one is a mysterious animal. I'm still waiting for mine! -
I remember at the last Open Championship at St Andrews someone went off as a single to lead off the day and he played in less than 2 hours. The next group finished nearly 2 hours after him. I understand if you are in the final group on Sunday taking as much time as you want but these guys should play faster.

When you use the alignment do you just set up the line on the top of the ball aiming towards the target, or do you tilt the line so it is on plane with your eyes and the center of the ball?

I protect the back and sides of my head and try to turn away from where it is coming from, then hope for the best.

He could go to college and have his game fall apart. Cash in now and you can go to any college you want if things don't pan out. If things do pan out and his career is that of a PGA golfer then I can think of no better place to learn your trade then practice on the PGA tour. And to whoever said he isn't marketable because he looks like a doofus, I would say he is one of the most talked about stories on the tour this year despite the merits of it and can make some money for someone.

My sister starting getting better at golf and decided that she needed a new set of irons instead of the garden hose flex ladies clubs she had. She hit nearly every set of clubs golf galaxy had from the newest whippy women's club to a men's steel AP2. She settled on some R9 senior flex clubs and she crushes them! The flex is respectable but not overpowering and they seem perfect for her. My dad bought his girlfriend a set of senior clubs too and she loves them. I think that moderate flex is the best for a strong female golfer who can hit a drive over 220.

What's the penalty if you scoop up the ball on the clubface and walk it into the hole?

I recently bought a scorecard holder for the back pocket. I've walked 100's of rounds in my life and can't believe I just stumbled onto this. I just took it for granted that the scorecard will be a wrinkled mess and the pencil always gets loose and risks poking you. Best 8 dollar investment of the year. I got an amphibian towel last year and that thing is sweet. Wet on the inside dry on the outside, Brilliant!

Golf courses and cemetaries. The two biggest wastes of real estate in America.

I heard it again on the 17th of mahan's final match. Can't be good luck

I read it was Pavin's wife who picked out the clothing for the US team. I don't know what was worse, the rain gear or the purple vests.
