  2. What he is referring to is called "tilt-shift". Google it.
  3. I think there are a few people here who don't know the different between "egocentrism" and "egotistical"
  4. The name of the tournament is "The Open Championship". It was the first of the majors, so it didn't need to specify. Americans call it "The British Open" sometimes because we are so egocentric about ourselves.
  5. I, personally, would yell out things such as "YOLO!" or "SWAG!".
  6. Give it time. You'll adjust. What did you expect after 1 day?
  7. I'm playing in alumni band day at Texas Tech. I'll get to see the opening game fo' FREE. Can't wait.
  8. Dustin Johnson -9 Padraig Harrington -11 Zach Johnson -14
  9. YOLO
  10. Click the link in the post.
  11. Despite our STD rate being at 5%, consistent with every other Big 12 school (including aTm at the time the study was done), people still think Raider Rash exists. No, the thing you should be most afraid of in Lubbock are haboobs .
  12. At Tech we have a saying about the ags... BAAAAAA means NO!
  13. Don't be afraid of swinging for the fences. Obviously don't do stupid stuff like over-rotate and flipping your wrists...but take some full swings at it with your driver. Depending on the course you're playing at, I might rather be hitting 270 yards and in the rough than 200 and in the fairway. That is a 6-7 club difference for most people!
  14. Guys, he is an aggie. What do you expect?
  15. If you're going to school...I can guess you probably aren't an old guy. 200 sounds very very short for even a smaller young guy. I'm about 5'9" and 160 and I can hit 275+ more than a few times per round. If you're hitting every fairway, but it is only going 200 yards...you must have a very compact and abbreviated swing with your driver. I mean I could be wrong but that's the only thing I can think of.
  16. I got a Cobra S3 for $70 on ebay in awesome condition. Great club.
  17. My course doesn't charge labor for grips. They do Tour Velvets for like $6-7 a club. I recently got the Golf Pride VBR grips and I really like them. Same price as tour velvet, but a bit more tacky.
  18. I use them as long as possible. Usually until there is a hole in the thumb. Gloves are expensive considering how easily they wear out.
  19. You only recommend brands you are sponsored by. This recommendation isn't really valid. Either way, I don't think you need to go spend $800-1000 on a set of irons, especially blades. Go to ebay and look for a set in new/good condition. I play a set of MP-14's (circa 1999) and they play no differently than MP-69's (2012). Don't rule out the Nike VR Pro, and Cleveland 588 along with various Mizuno and Titleist blades. You should be able to find a good set for $300-500. Possibly even brand new (I've seen VR Pro's for $500 with the plastic still on em). EDIT: From what I know, Nike bought the patent from Mizuno for the MP-14's to create their VR/Pro blades per request of Tiger Woods. He played MP-14's in all his amateur titles. Shows you how far iron technology has changed in blades; none at all.
  20. They are all the same. Just get the one you think looks the best and/or is the cheapest.
  21. I refuse to practice off of a mat. It doesn't give way like grass does.
  22. Beautiful course, I played there in high school. Wish I could go!
  23. I rather like my set...but a couple changes. - keep my current driver (Cobra S3) - Replace my 5W 904f with a Ping G15/20 fairway wood - I love my MP-14 irons, no change there - Get rid of my Ping tour wedge, replace with 2 more 588's (60* and 51*) to go with my 54* - Scotty newport to replace my Ping D66 iWi.
