From my last few rounds Ive got a few. On the 3rd hole last night I popped a drive about 100 yards straight upwards about 30 yards right and 25 yards forward. There was a group of middle aged women playing in the next fairway and this thing was coming right for them. I yelled fore about the loudest I have ever yelled anything and not a single one of them even ducked. I yelled so loud people at the clubhouse ran for cover I saw a guy three fairways over not even in the direction the ball was going hit the deck. Yet these women stand there and one of them continues lining up her approach and the other three chat nicely. My friend starts screaming DUCK DUCK DUCK and then boom ball lands about 3-4ft behind the women lining her shot up and my heart fell out right onto the Tee. I yelled sorry and got a very polite "thats ok!", I turned around and . -- We were playing a par 4 with a parallel fairway next to it. We drove up to find my ball in the middle of the fairway clearly visible from the other holes Tee. Normally people hit from that tee even though our fairway is dangerously close which is fine as long as if you see the ball slicing at all you yell fore. We turn to drive back to our other ball when a drive SLAMS the plexi glass windshield of the Cart. The guys on the other tee could very easily see us and not a one yelled fore. If we didnt have that glass up one of us woulda got smoked right in the kisser. We stopped and waited for this guy to come get his ball so we could give him a ribbing, we werent fuming angry but were pretty annoyed. When this guy rolled up and went to play his ball that wound up right next to mine after hitting us in our cart we gave him a "That was close buddy, that was too close" and he COMPLETELY ignored us. So I raised my voice a bit and I was like "You know that couldve EASILY hitten us we woulda given you a courtesy Fore, its what your Supposed to DO" Again he acted as if he couldnt hear us at all and duffed his ball 50 yards back into his fairway. I just yelled "FORE!" after he hit it and he still blatantly ignored us, both of us proceeded to . -- After those two stories I wonder if Im accidentally playing at an all deaf course lol!

Played the best 6 holes of my life last night too bad we had to leave early. Started with Bogey Par Double Par Double Par +5 after 6. I know its not impressive to most of you but when us hackers Par 3 of 6 holes its considered a pretty monumental victory hah. I think i was happiest with a bunker shot on a par 3. I had about 15ft to the hole and about an 8 foot lip to get over. I really opened up my LW and swung smoothe managed to leave a 3 footer to get save par.

Share your on course face palm moments. Anything from duckhooks and skulled balls into a water hazard to absolutely ridiculous on course interactions that just left you with nothing else to do but

Irons flying ridiculously far...
BostonSully replied to senorchipotle's topic in Instruction and Playing Tips
Pretty sure if my playing partner cranked out a 3i as far as my drive I'd just up and call it a day.. 250 is damn good man damn. -
True, coulda been clearer. I guess ill just delete a bunch of UFC Fights and NHL games from my DVR and set it to record big break until I get episode #1 heh.

Really? I do subscribe to Golf Channel via my Cable package I just missed the first few episodes. No idea if/when they will show them again. Most basic cable channels could care less about online viewing of their shows and most figure that posting the episodes online with advertising on their own official sites will increase viewership and revenue. See comedy central, ABC, Discovery etc.. When you have a show that you need to see episode 1 to really get episode 5 you should make those episodes available online. Its good business to grow viewership. I was just annoyed that they didnt have them on their official site and still pursued removing them from episode sharing sites. I guess they dont want anyone who didnt know about it before episode 1 to watch it? They've even removed all the older seasons as well. Sorry if you misunderstood me I dont want to pirate anything especially something Im technically allready paying for. Id just like to watch the show from the begining sheesh.

Ok so where can I watch this online. I'd like to pick up on watching this season but it seems the golf channel has gone out of their way to make sure none of the usual websites like BlinkX have this show on there. Seems like a bad way to have a reality show. I'd like to get into it but have to watch the first episode to do so, but all the online episodes are removed by request from Golf Channel. Can anyone PM me a link to watch episodes?

Oh and he's not giving any back. 88 Year old dude just made a fool out of thousands of people. I mean what does he care about the rapture for anyways he'll be gone soon enough.

I got a phone, a coffee mug full of pennies, a notepad and pen.... Time to bore them to death with some accounting.

Hey just upgraded to the Adams a7 set and I have been practicing alot with the Hybrids(These were the reason I bough a7 opposed to burners). I found that my 3h goes as far as my Driver and the mishits are about 10-20yds off where as a driver mishit could be 50 yards off. When I swing my driver it feels a bit of a wet noodle and I feel like im fighting to have a square face when it connects with the ball. When I swing 85-100% with driver it always balloons and slowly hooks pretty sharp at the end of its ball flight. When I swing easy 60-70% I hit a big push everytime. Does this mean that I likely need a S Flex on my driver? I mean getting 220 out of hybrid and driver makes me wonder if somethings not right with my swing or with my driver. I believe my 8i clubhead speed when I was testing the adams was around 75-85mph I cant actually remember sorry.

Is this one of those thread games where someone says something and people keep adding to it to make a story?

Damn lol. I thought I'd get some response to my lame sarcasm and the fact that our gvt is literally paying to research this stuff.

You guys have a heck of a team up there. I drool over a VAN-BOS final imagine how much of a knock em out grind em down punish them physically series that would be. Id see like each team endign the series with like 13-14 healthy skaters at best lol.

Ok Everyone Fasten your Seatbelts. The CDC(Center for Disease Control) has officially issued its Zombie Apocalypse emergency situation plan. Its basically no different than the "Hurricane/Earthquake" plans ( I mean they didnt even advise buying Chainsaws, Swords, Shotguns and #1 most important thing DONT GET BITTEN) But I digress, For some reason I have always felt if the world ends its 100% going to be a Zombie Apocalypse. Now the CDC even agrees with me and puts out a plan to react to such a catastrophe. My question is what do you guys think? What would you do in the event of a real life "28 days later". Ive had my plan in place for years and it involves a friend with a basement literally full of whiskey and another who is a firearms collector. Am I just crazy? Discuss....

Yeah I am finding it harder to justify what to do with my SW. I find that by working my GW/LW a bit I dont really need to pull the SW out of the bag very much. I tend to use it only on full shots where the GW would be too strong and I cant hit a full shot with the LW to save my life. So its like a 1purpose club for me.

Just finished a Shogun 2 Total War addiction. Yeah I know Ill be addicted to D3 when it comes out for sure, I must have spent so much time on D2 that its just shameful.
-
lol its OK. I probably grudged @ you because im getting sick of the media firestorm going with the TBL right now. Its like "ZOMGS ST.LOUIS ROLLI BOUCHER OMG OMG OMG THEY ARE SO GOOD BLAH BLAH DID WE MENTION STAMKOS OMG OMG OMG" Infact it was the same with PHI and MTL "SUBBAN RAWRR AWESOME PRICE IS FUTURE OF ALL HOCKEY AND PRES OF CANADA!!" in the Philly series one of the sideline reporters asked thomas a question that was like "You made 52 saves tonight, but HOW WAS IT BEING ON THE SAME ICE AS JAMES VAN REIMSDYKE ZOMG HE IS SO GOOD OMG OMG OMG". So sorry its just getting a bit old being told how the B's have no chance at all in any series for us here in Boston.

You've literally said this about every bruins opponent in the playoffs. Excuse me if I discount your opinion on the Beans.

RIP Derek Boogard. New York Rangers enforcer found dead in his home today. Cause of death unknown. This is truely sad, and it will bring out the worst arguements about fighting and headshots in hockey as Boogard missed 52gms this year with a serious concussion. Heres to hoping his family can move on without this being dragged through the mud, which it undoubtedly will.

Hahaha too true. To me my computers are like hotrods to a gear head. My GF swears by apple and I feel physical pain shopping with her for that junk, oh yeah 3,000$ nice its got 1/3rd the power of mine for 4x the price sweet deal....

Bruins beat TB 3 out of 4 time, they beat vancouver they only time they played and they never played SJ. So yes I'd say they have a chance. It just depends on how healthy the top 5 Forwards (Lucic, Kerjci, Bergeron, Marchand, Horton) and the top 3 D (Chara-Siedenberg-Ference) can stay. As well as how long Thomas can stay hot. If those 3 things stay consistent I'd say they have a great chance.

Vokey Wedge vs Cavity back wedge
BostonSully replied to Fatgigi's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
I absolutely love my Cleveland Wedges, the most attractive club in my bag is the 50* GW with Chrome Finish. I hit it a perfect 95-105yds and its gets better roll around the green for bump+run. I dont find it harder to hit the wedge than my cavity backed irons at all. -
Are Pine Meadows golf clubs a good buy?
BostonSully replied to Matt181's topic in Clubs, Grips, Shafts, Fitting
Just went to 3balls for him, looks like all the used lefty sets sold out at the big warehouse sale a month ago. All thats left is new iron sets for leftys. BTW if your from Boston area going to the 3balls warehouse sale is great, it was alot of fun and I was able to shoot the shit with the sales guys and get 10% discount + free hats and gloves. It was a good time., -
oops for some reason i thought that said 3.00 haha Good luck getting past the 100 marker. A tip for hitting the 60 open your clubface way up and use a very smooth easy swing and just watch that ball go high up and stop fast. Its one of the most rewarding shots when you hit it right and you should be able to practice it in your backyard. People notice when you pull off a nice lob.
