Title: Golf
Post by: stalker on January 29, 2009, 12:42:21 PM
Does anybody play golf? I have played a little off and on for years. This past summer I started playing 2-3 times a week regularly and am really addicted to it now. I haven't played since November and am dying to get out. As long as my business keeps moving, I figure maybe go down to Florida during Phillies spring training and get in a few rounds. Is anyone else a player.

I love to play. I played in middle school, stopped for about 15 years and started again last year.

The last time I shot, I hit 97.

I have a major slice problem. I can tee off facing almost at a 45 degree angle to the fairway and it will still slice right. If I can fix that (I think its my hips flying open too soon) I should be able to cut a lot off my score.

I am kinda the same way. I played a lot when I was younger and played nothing but occasional customer golf for about 15 years. I took some advice from a friend who was briefly on the tour and it paid real dividends. I was thinking of buying new clubs this year (my old ones were 15 years old), it would have set me back about a grand or so. He said, take the 1000 and buy some lessons. To prove his point, we went out and played. He brought a 5 iron and a putter and shot a 65 on our local track. So, I took some lessons this year. I found a pro who really likes walking lessons. Anyway, I am playing to about a 12 this year which is way better than I have ever played.

i just started playing in 07 so i'm only entering my 3rd season and am far from an expert but i started out with a terrible slice too, especially since all my mechanics were all baseball mechanics.  still have the slice a little but it's not nearly has bad and it's not there on every swing....maybe only 1 out of every 4 or 5 drives now.   

couple things i did and am still doing to work it out:

1.  point my left foot inboard slightly to help keep my hips from opening up.

2.  put my left foot an inch or two closer towards the tee than my right (rear) foot. 

3.  focus on pulling the club through my swing with my left hand, rather than pushing it through with my right. 

4.  swing easy and don't try to crush the ball 300 yards.  distance will eventually come with proficiency.  for now, i'm content with driving it 220 yards down the middle rather than 260 yds and landing in the middle of a bunch of trees or a pond. 

getting rid of that slice for the most part has taken probably about 25 strokes off my game.  i usually shoot right around 100 now but my best score so far is a 93.

Thanks, I'll try that stuff. Better than paying some golf shop pro to do it...and I refuse to do that so I'll tinker with it on my own.

I know if I can eliminate that slice, I'll be home free.

Post by: reese125 on March 27, 2009, 03:59:19 PM
Ive been playing for quite a while Phreak and I can almost bet you that if you want to be consistently in the 80's, youre either

a) going to have to play your ass off a minimal of 2 times a week and hit up the range weekly

b) grab a golf pro at least once to straighten you out and put you on the right path

c) if not a or b--just be that damn good that you dont need anything but Sarges 4 bullet points
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Sgt PSN on March 27, 2009, 04:23:46 PM
this tips i picked up were all from a club pro over drinks.  i would eventually like to take a couple lessons but they are too rich for my blood right now and i dont want to drop that kind of coin on something that i may or may not lose interest in a couple of years from now. 

if i had the time/cash to get out and play just once a week, i'm sure i could get consistantly into the high 80's/low 90's.  as it stands right now though, i've only gotten out on the links about 3 or 4 times in the last 6 months, so my score is stuck around 100. 

i just played a couple of weeks ago and used a 60 degree wedge for the first time.  it was quite comical to say the least.  what a goofy farging club.

As far as I can tell, its 80k miles for Economy, 120k miles for Business, or 160k miles for First.  If thats the case, that isn't bad at all. (To put it in perspective, I was earning 10k miles flying round trip from PA to San Fran)

Now, ticket availability, thats another question.

The first playoff hole proved that Cabrera has a bunch of clovers up his ass or something.  When you hear that thud off of a tree, it is usually bad news.  Instead, it kicks right out into the fairway, and he gets up and down for par.  Incredible.

Oh, and he's a really good player too.  So, good for him.

No doubt. The look on his face was great. He looked expecting it to have bounced further into the shtein and miraculously it ended up in the fairway. He is a good player.

Only problem is halfway thru i felt some pain in my left elbow, i farging gave myself golfers elbow, and have to play in a golf tourney Thursday.  Luckily there will be kegs at every hole.

the chair force base i'm on has intramural golf every thursday.  $10 for the cart and that's it.  no green fees and they give you free breakfast. 

only problem is that they tee off at 630am.  i'd need to be waking up around 430 to make it in time.

normal fees on this base are about 15 for greens and then 10 for the cart.....which is still pretty cheap.  other bases i've played on have been anywhere between 20 and 40 for green fees + whatever they charge for cart.  alot of bases also tend to charge green fees based on pay grade as well.   

as much as i hated living in nc, camp lejeune's golf course was absolutely gorgeous.  challenging but at the same time, great for beginners as well.

how much did you pay for it?  i saw it at a couple local golf shops for about $200 but you can pick one up at dick's for $130.

i think i'm going to give my current set about 2 more years before i look at replacing it.  i just started playing in 07 and i picked up a set from the exchange on base for about $120.  some brand i never heard of......affinity i believe it's called.  some of my golf buddies who have been playing a lot longer than me have taken a few swings with them and say that they're great clubs considering the price i paid.  i assume they're just trying to find a polite way of telling me i've got some cheap ass clubs though. 

so what's the best way to go......buying clubs by the set or individually building your bag? 
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: SunMo on June 18, 2009, 02:04:55 PM
i bought a starter set, and this driver is my first upgrade because i had confidence in the driver that came with it.  but irons and shtein don't really matter unless you're good enough to make them matter. 

i paid 129.99...it hits great.
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Sgt PSN on June 18, 2009, 02:16:51 PM
nice.  what i've been thinking about doing is first getting the clubs that didn't come in my set.  i don't have a sand wedge or a 2-4 iron. 

and i think i'm going to throw out all of my woods except the driver.  i just can't seem to cleanly hit my 3w or 5w unless i'm on the tee.  and the hybrid that came in my bag is probably better suited for clubbing baby seals than golf balls.

so basically once i tee off, i'm probably going straight to my 5 iron even if i'm still 250 yds from the green.   
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Seabiscuit36 on June 19, 2009, 08:28:47 AM
I have an Affinity sandwedge, its really nice.  I use knockoff Callaways i got from a local golf outlet http://www.turingolf.com/  They get the clubs from the same factory as the originals, except they dont have the big brand names on there. 

We had a betterball tourney yesterday, shot as a group a 80.  The Ducks Unlimited Tourney was at the course next to my work, its nice to be shteinfaced at 11am knowing i'm within 1000yds or work.  http://www.deerfieldgolfclub.com/course-tour.cfm

On the 10th hole, i absolutely murdered a ball off the tee, ended up driving it over 340yds.  My uncle just gave me his old Taylormade Driver from 5 years ago.  For years i went without a driver mainly because i couldnt control my drives.  After shoulder surgery my surgeon said my drives would lose about 10yds but they would be straight, and he was right. 
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Rome on June 19, 2009, 08:43:13 AM
Knock-offs suck. 

I have Taylor Made Tour irons with rifle shafts, and driver & three wood with graphite shafts.  The five and seven woods are from Goldwin Golf.  It's a shame that company went out of business because they made the best fairway woods I've ever played with. 

My putter is an Odyssey Rossie Mallet and much like me it rules all creation.

ha--not only is there about 30 mph winds right now at the British Open, but just to show you how ridiculously high the rough is-- tiger woods hit a tee shot off to the left about 15 minutes ago and has over 100+ people from the gallery and staff looking for his ball and still cant find it

course is crazy

lol at 14 iron. 

i just moved into a nice little condo on a golf course in the middle of the desert.  my back patio overlooks the 1st green and about 60 degrees to my left is the 2nd tee box.  it's not a fancy course or anything and it's relatively straight from tee to green, but it's still a pretty nice course any my landlord pays for my membership so i play as much as i want for free.  booyaa!

Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Sgt PSN on February 19, 2010, 11:25:37 AM
not watching it, but i heard (i believe it was rick rielly) yesterday saying that he needs to apologize for his behavior, blah blah blah and that he especially needs to work hard to make amends with his female fan base. 

what a bunch of farging bullshtein.  dude cheated on his wife.  i don't condone it but big farging deal.  then he checks himself into a clinic and says he has a sex addiction.  look, cheating on your wife does not mean you have a sex addiction.  it means that you saw a chick in applebee's and thought she'd look good bouncing her face off your head board. 

here's a thought for rich, successful male athletes who travel a lot.  don't get married you farging tools.  then you can bang all the skanks you want and no one is going to think less of you for doing so.  look at derek jeter.  people are so used to him farging hot actresses and models that it barely shows up on the radar whenever he takes a new one home.  i guarantee he's pulling in twice as much ass as tiger ever did and no one farging cares.  why?  because he's single.  and single people can farg all the want and no one gives a shtein. 

but for whatever reason, people are still hung up on the idea that life isn't complete unless you've got a wife and a few kids in tow.  or they think that "settling down" will somehow improve their image or something.  farg that.  jeter is still considered "the all american boy" and dude's one of the biggest man-whores ever.  doesn't seem to be affecting his image or ability to land endorsements. 

during the offseason jeter should hold a clinic for young famous celebs and athletes to show them how getting married is about the dumbest farging thing you can do.  i'm sure he's got a ton of pics from inside the bedroom with all the women he's banged.  maybe he could put together a slide show or something pointing out everything they'd be passing up.  save that shtein until you're retired or something.

its not just about cheating on his wife...its about the image he portayed to his fans, endorsers paying him huge dollars, his fellow players and the game of golf

what he pulled in the eyes of all those people was a con-job, and they were owed at least an apology or he faces harsh scrutiny for the rest of his life and career.

it would be nice if we were talking about something else--anything else--instead of this pop bullshtein.

For example,  Alexander Haig was just admitted at Johns Hopkins Hospital today.  At 86 years old, that can't be good.  I don't much like the guy, but he's hella more important than some farging golfer.  We'd all be better off reading about him and talking about his place in history instead of Woods.

if he is playing on the final day and is in contention on a 4 month layoff, your damn right it will be a spectacle...and all that shtein he did will go right out the window. there will be no tiger haters on that day

all you crackheads that are petrified to pick up a club, or are simply too nonathletic to hit a crisp shot, dont blame the game blame yourself. I guarantee you that if you ever did try it and hit your first clean shot you will be instantly hooked. to say its not a sport is beyond hysterical.

it'll only be great if tiger is doing something amazing, like threatening a course record or something.  otherwise, it'll just be another masters.   

false. 

i love the masters anyway.  it's always one of the first weekends of the year where you can open up all the windows in the house and just sit around and get blasted and watch golf all day. 

but you are nuts if you don't think a tiger win escalates him to an even bigger level if that's even possible.

if he wins, absolutely.  i was arguing igy's claim that if tiger is in contention that it will go down as one of the greatest sporting events ever, which is absolutely false.  what if tiger is in contention but everyone else is just playing average golf and the leaders are only sitting at -4 or something?  that hardly qualifies for "greatest sporting event ever." 

in order for it to be one of the greatest events ever, there has to be some great competition out there.....several guys on top of the leaderboard within a stroke of each other, all of them playing ridiculous golf and being like 10 under and actually sustaining that for at least the final 9 holes. 

like i said, this masters will be a media frenzy and a ratings gold mine for whatever network is broadcasting it.  but just having tiger in contention on the final day is not going to automatically make it an all time great sporting event.  the only way that happens is if a bunch of guys show up and play some really great golf.

The Masters is far and away the most prestigious tournament in the world.  The U.S. Open has frigging amateurs playing in it.  The British Open is a joke and the PGA has club champions from places like Lu Lu Temple Country Club playing in it.

its called the masters for a reason. best golfers in the world only. every player wants the ugly green jacket...you slide it on forget about it...youre on a pedestal amongst the other golfers.

the open is exactly what it means..open to anyone that can qualify. although sicker conditions (mostly unfair tricked-up conditions), very unplayable at times, and it switches courses every year. not saying its not a spectacular event, but way more tradition and continuity in the masters. 

that was one of the best 3rd rounds Ive ever seen in a long time. the pin placements today were ridiculous. the pairings couldnt be any better tomorrow.

maybe it's just me, but i've become more annoyed with him over the last month or so with the way he's been handling himself.  i really couldn't give 2 shteins about his infidelity.  but some of his statements and what not over the last few weeks are bugging me more than anything else.  the nike commercial with his dad's voice was awful.

I am curious as to when Tiger Woods actually did this? (the bolded part)

Every commercial I ever really saw with Tiger was him hitting the hell out of a golf ball, not going to the zoo with orphans. He didn't portray himself as a role model, he portrayed himself and as the best golfer in the world.

He checked his tee time...He hit a golf ball with the nike logo... and drank a gatorade.... got in the buick and drove away...

Also... there is not a person alive who is even vaguely familiar with sports that did not know that Tiger was, is, and always will be a total control freak icehole to everyone he ever met. No one could stand the guy. He's borderline sociopath... pretty much what makes him so good on the links.

None of this "scandal" is a scandal in any way... it's just people who are looking to piling on the famous dude because he can sleep with 20 women in 20 cities, and they can't.

there's only one rule as a beginner that you need to know: if you're playing slow let the people behind play through.

come to think of it, there's two rules:  let faster players play through and the beginner always buys when the cart girl comes around.

If Tiger can just finish this thing in the top 10, that would be a major accomplishment for him.  Right now he's T16, but only 1 stroke back of the top 10.  He has absolutely owned this course during his career though, so if he doesn't play well, then I'll say he's probably done.  Dude ain't right in the head anymore.

nope, never seen him play.

theres the difference. people see one tournament on tv all year of him or 10 sec highlight clips of him on espn now hes the next legend.

kid is very good and has solid control, but to go off on one major (which is didnt win yet and has yet to win one) and say he is going to break Nicklaus' record--especially with a better chance than Tiger is straight crack talk. how bout he wins 4 or more than let the chants "very quietly" begin.

Holy shtein.  I didn't think he had a shot starting the day like 7 or 8 back, but right now there's a 3 way tie at -10.  He'll be the first one done today too so if he can build a 2 or 3 stoke lead, that'll put some pressure on McIlroy and Schwartzel. 

Either way though, he's probably going to finish in the top 3 which will be a HUGE step forward for him.

Way to go, Woj (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/columns/story?columnist=wojciechowski_gene&page=wojciechowski/110409&sportCat=golf)

QuoteWoods could have won this thing, you know. Not because he took the leaderboard behind the woodshed Saturday -- he didn't, shooting a clunky 2-over-par 74 -- but because almost nobody else did.

Rory McIlroy, the 21-year-old Northern Irishman who can recite every shot of Tiger's win here in 1997, remains your Masters leader entering the final round. He's led or co-led from the start to the end of 54 holes. Unless he has to play left-handed Sunday, McIlroy will become the second-youngest Masters winner in history ... just 237 days behind Woods.

Of course, don't tell Woods this. Asked if he could still win the tournament, Woods didn't hesitate.

"Absolutely," he said, hands on hips.

Woods must have been channeling his inner Nick Faldo when he said it. Or maybe he was overcome by Saturday's stifling heat and humidity.

Yes, in 1996 Greg Norman began the final round of the Masters with a six-stroke lead. And he lost by five shots to Faldo.

But McIlroy hasn't been Larry Mized by this place. Norman had the memories of Mize and that crazy, do-you-believe-in-miracles 1987 playoff chip-in still rattling around in his brain. McIlroy doesn't have that thick of scar tissue.

Nineteen of the last 20 Masters winners have come from the last Sunday pairing. McIlroy is in it, Woods isn't.

Woods is tied for ninth, meaning he'd have to high jump over 12 other players to take the lead. Not going to happen. His game hasn't recovered from swing surgery yet.

...

He won't win, but he'll add to his confidence. And these days, that matters.

"I've got to go out there and put together a good round [Sunday] and see what happens," he said.

McIlroy is going to happen Sunday. But one of these majors -- and soon -- Woods is going to happen too.

This was the main story on the front page of ESPN.com this morning.

I'm going to be giving this silly little game a shot..I played once, years ago and ended up coming home with only a sunburn. I looked around for clubs this weekend, but I have no idea what Im looking at. I'd like to take lessons, but I dont know how to go about it. Do I just go to a place like Golfsmith and ask all these questions there? Is there a golf site anyone here uses which you'd recommend?

In short, please help.

Go to the local course and see about lessons from the golf-pro there - probably cheaper than a place like Golfsmith. That is a pretty nice store though.

Don't buy new clubs. They're a waste of money for a beginner. Start looking on eBay and Craigslist for used sets. Or even buy a set from WalMart or something like that until you get a feel for it. Once you're hooked and know your investment will pay off, then buy a good set.

I bought a set of Ping Eye-2 irons for like $250 on there. Then you can search for your woods and putter separately.

I'm not hardcore into the sites or accessories or anything like that - I just like to play. I think its funny when there are guys out there dressed like they're playing farging Augusta and have everything known to man in their cart and they shoot over a hundred.

Buying cheap clubs is the dumbest idea ever.  Buy a nice set of irons. A nice driver.  A nice putter and a utility wood like a seven.  Then take lessons with a professional.  Most if all, get the farg out of my way when I'm trying to play through.  Or else, motherfarger.

How is it dumb? Especially for someone who hasn't played much? What if he drops $400-600 on a set of irons and never picks a club up after a few rounds?

Anyone who spends that much not knowing if they even want to play more than a week can probably afford it without thinking about it too much.

Unless you plan to go pro or are abnormally tall or short, you don't really ever need to spend more than 300 on a whole set. Then again, i still play on a $130 starter set i bought 5 or 6 years back now, only replacing a putter that I didn't like, and a broken PW.

Post by: phattymatty on May 09, 2011, 03:09:29 PM
chances are if you know anyone who plays, they have an old set they'll just give you. i used a zesty free one for a long time before i bought my own clubs.

lessons do help though, 4 classes did more for me than going to the course 20 times and trying to figure it out myself. i still suck big time but even if you're bad it's a fun day of drinking and smoking stogies in the sun. and golf carts.

This is whats going on in my head. I looked at some cheap sets this weekend ($200 range) based solely on brand names I had heard of - Wilson is the only one I can remember now. I think it was something like a 20 piece set complete with the bag and all - aside from maybe replacing with a nice set in a year or so, what would be the negative in buying these? I feel like I remember the one time I went, I had to rent clubs for $40 or something. That said, wouldnt the $200 set make sense? Spending $500+ would be tough since Im not sure Ill even like the game after a few tries.

I'm sure that set will be fine.

Even with a few lessons you're going to break some clubs in the beginning... the game will piss you off enough as it is, losing 100 on a pitching wedge will only make it worse

Post by: Munson on May 09, 2011, 03:35:17 PM
As someone said, just go to the local country club and get lessons from the pros there. I just started working in the pro shop at a club here and you'll spend anywhere from 30-100 bucks on a lesson. $100 is the guy who's a PGA certified pro, then the other to associate pros there charge less.


I used to go driving when I was younger, but now working at the club has be interested in playing. I'll suck but who cares. It's fun to hit the shtein out of the ball.
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: DH on May 09, 2011, 03:57:57 PM
I used to go to the driving range at least once a week in college. Not because i liked golf, I liked swinging the club, kinda like I how I like swinging a baseball bat. After a while, I was able to hit em' straight and at a pretty good distance. How much that translates into actually playing a round, I havent a clue.

Am I right though that if I go to play somewhere without my own clubs, I'd have to pay to rent from the clubhouse? And how much are they usually for a day? Trying to work the math out in my head..
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Rome on May 09, 2011, 03:58:28 PM
I've played golf longer than most of your panty sniffers have been out of diapers.

Trust me, get a good set of clubs that you'll be able to use when you get past the lessons & driving range phase.  Go to any golf store that sells used name brand sets and get a good set.

I mean, its not like Die Hard can't farging afford it.

I bought a starter set for about $130. 4 years later I still have it. Either go with a starter set or use some rentals from the clubhouse the first few times just to make sure you really enjoy the game. Then if you want to drop coin on a set, go for it.

And def take some lessons and spend a couple hours on the driving range and on the putting greens before you step on the course.

Knowing Die Hard I realize he's not an un-athletic spazzoid like most of the rest of you clowns.  Plus he's richer than IGY's baby mama, so he can farging afford good clubs off the bat.  Stop trying to get him into a piece of crap set that he'll be ready to toss in the lake a week after he picks up the game.

Golf is awesome.  It is expensive, but actually playing is one of my favorite things to do.

If you are serious or think you will be about playing semi-regularly, shell out the $$ on good clubs.  If you are just going to farg around to see if you like it, buy a cheap set.
Title: Re: Golf

I have access to the West Point Golf Course whenever I want to play, so I'll most likely try to really get into it in hopes that I get decent (or just enjoy it), and maybe get hooked. If I were to get a nice set of clubs, what do I look for? Is there a preferred brand? Things to keep in mind? What if I get a cheap set? What do I want to avoid? Things to keep in mind?

edit: I didn't know golf stores sold used sets..that may be the play.

theres no way in hell you should start out with an expensive set...get a zesty set or just borrow clubs from whoever you are playing with...anyone who isnt a beginner almost certainly has two or more bags....shtein you can temporarily take my clubs if you can get them from me

anyway play a handful of times to make sure its something you want to permanently take up...if it is then for the first year or so of playing use your money for lessons.....then drop mad chedder on a bangin set of sticks when you are fully invested in the sport both in terms of enjoyment and quality of play

Personally I like the Ping-Eye 2 because they were the first "real" ones I had and I've grown to love how they feel. They've been around awhile.

I'm really not this bad, Dio.   I was actually trying to infuriate you with the last several posts because I know how much you hate golf.


BTW: I swung those forged Taylor Made irons and they are beautiful clubs, but anything under a five-iron is indeed impossible to hit unless you're a single digit handicap.    And I can jack a four iron, trust me, but not those.  They're just too hard to hit unless you're perfectly on plane with every swing.

I know you're not.  And I also know that golf is actually a reasonably proletariat pasttime in our current culture. 

But none of that detracts from the fact that it is, at it's bottom, a stupid game to which phony money worshiping black and women hating men have been dedicated for eons.  I don't care how many stillupfront's moms play at Clifton Park, it's a pox on civilization.

Yeah, if you can't spring the extra $10-20 for a cart then you probably shouldn't be out there in the first place.  Walking the course would be sort of ok I guess if it's a private club and they provide you with a caddy.  Carrying your own clubs farging blows.  And as igy pointed out....no cart = no cooler.  I enjoy golf but I'd enjoy it a lot less if I wasn't drinking.  Plus, driving a golf cart is farging awesome.

Wierd what you realize when you actually look for something - I found out there is an outdoor covered driving range about a mile from my place..I pass the damn thing daily, and never so much as noticed it.

Anyway, I went this weekend - twice. I'm going to go a couple more times this week, then try to play this weekend. I have yet to decide on what to do about clubs. I've been using the trash they rent out at the range, but even after two times, I was getting the feel that what I was using was crap. I'm pretty sure I'll be taking Romeys suggestion and buying a decent set of used clubs from a clubhouse somewhere.

They're not small to me.  I can't hit the long irons anymore so I just use a seven wood for anything over 200 yards.  I can't remember the last time I hit a three-iron, actually.

this day and age you shouldn't be hitting 3 irons anyway. you should be all hybrid at that distance.

nice thing about the hybrids now is the newer design of the head is so much better out of the deep stuff then a 7 wood...but whatever is working for you roll with it.

ask your boy at the shop about hybrid clubs in exchange for your low irons--he'll know whats up

I once Tin Cupped it around the local muni-track just to see if I could play an entire round with just a 7-iron & putter.   I think I was about 25 over par from the member tees, which really isn't that bad.
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Sgt PSN on May 17, 2011, 11:33:29 AM
I broke my driver over a year ago and have yet to replace it.  I don't spend time on the range practicing with my other woods so whenever I do get out on the links, I tee off with my 5 iron, but oddly enough I still shoot roughly the same as I did with the driver.  Obviously I hit the driver further but I hit my irons much much straighter, so I tend to save myself a couple of strokes because I'm hitting my 2nd shot from the fairway instead of the parking lot. 
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Rome on May 17, 2011, 11:40:35 AM
Why not just use your three-wood?

Also - the 25 over mostly happened around the greens.  7-irons were not meant to be used to blast out of sand traps.  Not by me, anyway.

I've taken my 3 wood and hybrids out to the range a couple of times but not enough to really get comfortable with them yet.  I've pulled them out of my bag on the course exactly 1 time.  I just need to practice with them but my time is somewhat limited these days.  So when I do have time to play a little golf, I choose to go out on the course rather than the range.

I've accidently grabbed my 7 iron at least a half dozen times to hit out of the sand (it sits right next to my wedge in my bag).  Perhaps ignorance is bliss, but the only problem I had was hitting the ball about 80 yards further than I wanted.  I crush it and wonder why the ball is travelling so far, then look at the club and realize how dumb I am.  I don't get mad though because the shot itself is beautiful, even if it is too long. 
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Rome on May 17, 2011, 12:03:09 PM
Just stand a couple inches closer to the ball and keep your swing smooth.  The 3-wood is the easiest club in the bag to hit especially off the tee.

That's actually not a bad thing.

That means that your shoulders are on an even plane and you're getting your hands and body through ball. Most amateurs dip their left shoulder and either duff it or pop it straight up with a slice. A little more flex in the knees and letting the club head do the work will give you the height  and distance you need, but that will take some time and practice.

To this day I can't find a driver that works for me.   I've gone from persimmon to steel to titanium and my first driver was about the same head size as my three-wood is now.  I have always been able to hit the three, though.  I can fade it, draw it or rip it straight and I can actually hit it off the deck better than off the tee.

Hey DH, I'm trying to get some starter clubs myself so I've been looking around, and SportsAuthority has some okay looking new sets in the 100-200 dollar range. Nothing fancy at all but I think they'd still be better than those two you posted. There's one on there for $109 but the reviews said they break easily.

What do the golfers here think of something like this? (http://www.sportsauthority.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4275284&cp=3052500.3053437.2273504&fr=StorePrice%2FTSA%2F00010000%2F00020000&lmdn=Price+Range&fbc=1&f=PAD%2FGender%2FMens&fbx=0&fbn=StorePrice%7C%24100.00+-+%24200.00&parentPage=family) It's nothing too fancy but I'm just starting out.

And can someone here tell me what the differences are between stiff flex and mid flex and all that?
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Rome on June 05, 2011, 11:12:37 PM
Flex pertains to clubhead speed.  Most low handicappers have a higher clubhead speed and don't need the artificial rubber band effect you get from more flexible clubs.  For instance, if you hit a five iron say 150-170 yards then a regular flex would be ideal.  If you you crank it out further then a stiff flex would be better.  It all depends on how far you consistently hit a given iron.

Regular flex (80-90 MPH clubhead speed usually) should be fine for any beginner. 

And try as I might I see I have to remind someone else of this.  DON'T BUY shtein CLUBS.  If you're going to take up the game and be in any way serious about, invest in a good set of clubs.  I'm not saying spend 1,000 dollars on a Scotty Cameron putter or anything.  Just go to a local used golf store and get a nice set of clubs that you can grow into as a player.

That looks like a decent set. The one Munson posted doesn't look bad either.  Guess it's just a matter of what you can afford when deciding what to buy. Pretty sure $200 isn't going to break the bank.

A couple other thing you want to pick up before heading out on the course for the first time:

Glove
Towel
Cleaning brush
Divot tool
Beer
Shoes*

*I never understood why golfers needed traction until I finally bought a pair.

I'm pretty sure I shot in the 130's my first time out too.  Maybe even the 140's.  You'll get down to the 110 range fairly quickly.  From then on the only way you'll likely see any serious improvement is if you either take lessons or play a couple times a week.  The first time you get below 100 will leave you with a 3 day rager.

on the bright side, i had a 320 straight drive on one hole and another hole i chipped out of the sand and hit the flag.

we stopped keeping count after a few holes because I had a lot of questions for the guys I was playing with, so it was more of a free 9 hole lesson than an actual game. I did shoot a one over par on the first hole of my life which I guess was kinda cool..

I liked it a lot though. Im off all week so I plan on hitting the range a few times and hope to get back out there again too. well see long this lasts, but I'm definitely on board.

I can give you some helpful tips without even seeing your swing in action.

tell me what youre doing the most of (slice, hook, getting the ball up in the air, etc.) and I can get you in line for starts. Its probably a mix of all the above so you have to cure one at a time. I can tell you that before you do anything you have to have your stance correct for each club you select and your grip on the club set. Do you have an inter-locking grip or baseball bat grip? If its the latter, switch up immediately. The rest will follow, but as you know its going to take a while.

I love it. (and not just because I can play there on the cheap)  Front 9 is Scottish links style, back 9 is North American.  The greens kick your ass (#4 especially... has one hill-Valley that is almost 5 feet).

The par 3 there are weird... at least for me.  #13 is short, but narrow.  I either birdie it (almost had a hole in one on several occasions) or put a 4 or 5 on the scorecard.  #16 is long and gives most people difficulties, but I had one summer where I par'd it in 14 straight rounds.

Also, I dont know why #3 gives me fits.  Its long, yeah, but its also fairly striaght with very few traps.  However, I seem to always get it in my head to grip and rip it and I end up putting my first or second shot in trouble.  I've maybe par'd it 5 times.

#15 is my favorite. Its the one where you can go left or right and have to carry a body of water.  As long as I dont put it in the trees in the center, I always seem to score on it.

It's great to make friends with the club pro if you get a chance.  You'll end up getting something free or reduced out of it.  I visit the clubhouse for the course that I live on almost on a weekly basis even if I'm not playing.  I'll just walk over there and have a few drinks or grab a bite to each and if I see the pro in there we'll start talking.  Was doing this for about 2 months and then one day while I was in there he yelled out to me from the pro-shop and asked me what size shirt I wore.  So I told him and a minute later he walked over with one of the club shirts.  Said he was real appreciative of my business and what not.  Since then he's also given me free packs of balls, a new glove when my old one ripped and several new ball markers because I tend to lose them.  But the big one was last year when my membership was about to expire and he knocked $100 of the renewal rate for me.  Nice.

The club pro at our course is a horse's ass.   The AP is cool though.  I was having problems with my swing and was trying to figure it out on the range.  He saw me hacking from the clubhouse, got in a cart, picked me up and drove me all the way to the far side of the range.  Gave me about a two hour lesson for free.   I went from being completely frustrated to swinging the club with almost no effort and crushing it.   It was just a subtle mechanical flaw that he spotted from 100 yards away thru a window.

I bought him drinks for a month after that and I still didn't come close to paying what two hours of private lessons would have cost.

That first set and the last set are good.  The last set, Maxfli, is sweet.  You want the oversized driver and the hybrid woods.  The putter is a little funky.  Back to what Sarge said about knowing your local pro, the past few business related golf tournaments have been held at courses where I knew someone at the pro shop and both times they let me borrow the late and greatest oversized drivers.  Holy crap!  They were amazing.  I forgot the last one I used but I used a TaylorMade oversized driver a few months ago and it was amazing.  The club did all the work.  I'm sure it was at least a $300 club.  Thing was frightening.

That first set and the last set are good.  The last set, Maxfli, is sweet.  You want the oversized driver and the hybrid woods.  The putter is a little funky.  Back to what Sarge said about knowing your local pro, the past few business related golf tournaments have been held at courses where I knew someone at the pro shop and both times they let me borrow the late and greatest oversized drivers.  Holy crap!  They were amazing.  I forgot the last one I used but I used a TaylorMade oversized driver a few months ago and it was amazing.  The club did all the work.  I'm sure it was at least a $300 club.  Thing was frightening.

thanks don, that last set was the one i was leaning towards

shot a 97 today that could have easily been a 90.  so i broke 100 which is my goal right now, but it sucks that two holes (a 9 and a 10) blew me up from a much better score

A 97 with both a 9 and a 10 ain't bad. Also, mad props to you for actually counting that high. I love when guys stop counting after 7 or 8 and then brag about their scores. Yes, for handicapping purposes, the score you report might be different than what you actually shot, but if you got a farging 12, you got a farging 12.

I shot an 86 with 9 miller lites pumping through my veins.  Ive been putting and chipping really well all year, but this weekend I was driving really, really well.  I only missed 3 fairways and it wasnt by much.

Of course this was a local municipal course where I go Driver-3 wood-Lob wedge on the par 5's, so BFD.  This weekend Im playing at Center Valley which should be a good test to where my game is this year.

The double par thing works really well.  There's nothing worse than following behind iceholes who (1) don't understand the concept of allowing others to play through, and (2) not knowing when to pick up the goddamn thing and move on to the next hole.

Title: Re: Golf
Post by: charlie on June 20, 2011, 03:58:38 PM
Yeah, if there's no one behind us we play until we sink them.. but otherwise we'll just set a 4+ par max. We're all average golfers that have equal chances of shooting par on a whole, to completely collapsing and never sinking it.
Title: Re: Golf

i was by myself and there was nobody behind me, thus why i allowed the 9 and the 10.

and every group i came up on was more than gracious in allowing me to hit up with them and then go on my way.

Good point.  I do it more to keep my sanity :)

Nothing makes me nuttier than behing behind some hackers and see them do one of the following:
1) Pick up grass and throw it in the air to see which way the wind is blowing
2) Take 15 practice swings
3) Take 10 different angles to read the putt, only to send it 8 feet short\flying by
4) Everyone stands by one ball, it gets hit, then they all move to the next ball.  Grab a few clubs and walk over to your shot so you are ready to hit.


Two or three years ago I almost threw a Canadian in the lake in front of the final par 3 at Oyster Bay.  Its a short par 3, only about 100 yards from the whites.  There was a 100 yard marker roughly 2 yards behind the tee box.  Being the nice guy I am, I tell the Candian guy who is still at his cart "The 100 yard marker is here so its about 98". 
"is it 98 or 99?"
This icehole didnt hit a green all day and he thinks he has the type of percision where one yard will make a difference.  Needless to say, both he and his wife sliced their tee shots into the water.

Post by: Munson on July 30, 2011, 03:06:05 AM
Yeah, they're working pretty good. I broke the driver and had to replace it, but that wasn't the club's fault. I was sweating at the driving range one day and the club slipped in the middle of my swing and I drove it right into the ground :-D

But it worked out, because instead of paying $85 to get it reshafted, I got a new (but 2 year old model) TaylorMade driver that has been awesome for $99.
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Don Ho on July 30, 2011, 03:18:29 AM
 $99 is a descent price for a Taylor Made driver.  Some of the drivers out now are just ridiculous.  See if you can find a shop that will let you borrow clubs.  We had one here (appropriately called "Aloha Golf Shop") that we used to go to all the time.  I ended up buying my Tommy Armour 845's from them so they always let me test clubs.

Pretty easy and it's great for beginners...

4 players T up and drive.
3 players then go place a ball at the location of the BEST drive...all 4 hit again.

you score based on it being your shot that is the best shot and is hit from. You either score from the number of shots over all 18 holes, or you win a hole...etc...

It's great for beginners as it keeps a game moving.

I farged up my knee playing basketball last weekend, so to celebrate I decided to play 27 holes of golf today.  Every one of my buddies shot in the 80's through 18 and I think I might have broken 80 by 14.   It's not that I drove the ball badly or hit my irons particularly bad but everything I did around the green ended up in total disaster.  I hit it back and forth over one green three times.  I got so frustrated I actually picked the ball up, walked back to my cart and sat the next hole out (this was like hole 22, I think).

What's funny is we played a skins game through 18 and I ended up winning 4 skins twice on birdie & a par and those two holes were probably the best two I played all day.

I either have to make a decision to start playing more often or quit it altogether.  I never, ever want to play like that again. 

Getting old farging sucks sucks sucks sucks SUCKS!

I started playing when I was a kid and I've never had the yips.  I had them around the greens all day.  I couldn't settle myself at all and that's never happened to me before.  I've had stretches where I'd chili dip one here or there but i was a total spazz yesterday. 

If I had a driver or an iron in my hand and could rip it I was fine but whenever a shot required touch I was a total basketcase.

I looked & felt like Michael J. Fox out there.
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Munson on September 06, 2011, 10:49:52 AM
My slice just wouldn't get fixed, so I had to drastically slow down my backswing to help keep my wrists straight. I lost about 10 yards on every club but I think I can slowly adjust to make up for that. Plus I need to get my ass back in the gym and build up some strength again.

My pitching wedge is actually my best club by far. I almost never get a bad hit off with it, and usually put it within a decent distance of the cup. My 60 degree wedge is hit or miss...sometimes I get a great hit off, sometimes I skull it, sometimes it goes 1 foot in front of me.

Most of my problem concerns a lack of golf conditioning.  If you don't build your swing thru repetition you're going to be a mess out there.

I had enough to hit normal yardages but not enough to use any finesse.

My knee was screaming this morning too.  Thank god for vicodin.

He had a triple on Sunday.  The odds of him doing that five years ago are almost negligible.   He's just a different player now, but if farging Ernie Els can win there, anyone can.   He's made a career of blowing up on Major Sundays.

Just got my first Eagle with a 35 yard chip in, on a (short) Par 4. Too bad the rest of my front 9 is one par and then a bunch of double and triple bogeys

 HA!  The ass kicking reality check of golf.  The eagle/birdie hole followed by nine straight holes of OBs, three puts, whiffs, etc.

Post by: Rome on August 02, 2012, 07:09:18 PM
My buddy is about a 20 handicap and usually hits the ball pretty good on most days.  He was astoundingly awful last Friday from 1-17 and then bombed a drive & a 3-wood to the green on the par-5 18.  Missed the eagle putt by two inches.  That's golf.

Post by: PoopyfaceMcGee on August 02, 2012, 08:16:09 PM
My only eagle was on a par 5. Bombed the drive, hit a 5-wood to 4 feet, made the knee-knocker. I did hole out from the rough on a par 4 a couple of weeks ago, but that was after hitting my drive into a red-staked environmental protection area. #yeahIsuck

Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Rome on August 04, 2012, 03:41:26 PM
I don't bother keeping score.  I count the birdie and par holes at the end.   If I end up with 10 or better it's a good day.  One thing I have to do now is hit 25-30 balls before teeing off.   If I dont it's a disaster.

I had my first lesson in 25 years on Wednesday.  It was a 30 minute session and all I changed was my grip.  Over the years it seems to have gotten weaker and weaker and it's the first thing the club pro noticed when I addressed the ball.  He let me hit 10 with my old swing and then had me hit 10 with the grip he insisted I try.  It was like a miracle.  It was very uncomfortable at the beginning but after I got used to it, I started booming the ball and didn't shank one afterward.  I shot a 39 on the back nine yesterday.  Unreal.
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Munson on September 30, 2012, 06:02:30 PM
I had a tendency to grip my clubs way too hard, especially my driver, and it was creating a very inconsistent drive. I loosened up my grip and concentrated on having a more controlled, slow backswing and it made a huge difference. I still pulled/sliced a few, but they ones i'm hitting straight are more often and 30-40 yards longer. And the ones i'm slicing aren't slicing nearly as bad as they were.

I also was just putting really well yesterday. And my short irons were also pretty on point. Still need to work on my mid range irons.

The kid is what, 14? He should be on cloud nine just for being in the Masters, he couldn't have had huge expectations about how he would finish. Presumably he'll still be alive for many more of these tournaments. If he got visibly upset, I'd assume he's some kind of budding sociopath like Bobby Fischer. Especially since if he got the penalty, the odds are good that he really was slow as hell and got warned a bunch beforehand.

since bread makes the sammich the hoagies outside of the east coast are horrendous. i had one today where everything was golden except for the bread which was mediocre at best.

That would be like me calling into MLB, complaining about an umpire's strike call, and MLB overturning the final score because of it.

Either you catch the infraction on the course or you don't.  If you don't, too farging bad.  That's why they have rules officials on the course.  Nobody caught it and the guy was about as harshly penalized as you can get just by having the ball hit the stick and bound into the pond.  Now some whiny white rich corksucker is gonna call ESPN and bitch about it, and the tournament is going to go back in time and impose a scoring penalty when no one at the time saw anything wrong with it?  And it's not like he gained any real advantage either.

It's just boring white bread country club bullshtein to me.  And to a certain extent, you're right, Havas.  It's not a sport... it's an activity that requires athletic ability.

as for the tiger thing, this is 10000 percent a masters calls alone. they dont care about advertisers or tv ratings. they care about themselves and themselves alone. they didnt allow a negro until the early 90s and just allowed women LAST YEAR. women. human people couldnt be members until 2012. in america.

I'm still amazed that they're permitted to go back in time and assess penalties based on something outside of the PGA or even the tournament itself saw at the time.  I can't think of another sport that permits that sort of ridiculousness.  And it's not even like he cheated or broke the rule.  Did he adhere to the strict letter of the law?  No.  But he didn't really gain anything by moving the ball back a couple of feet.  What's he supposed to do - put it back in the divot he hit from in the first place?

this is the entire point.....he farging moved the ball AWAY from the hole....why cant it be a discretionary call where they look at the tape and if the golfer is trying to gain an advantage you bang him....the same way basketball refs look at the video....if in golf they can retroactively assess penalties via video then why cant they also use the same video to see that no advantage was taken....the fact that they have to adhere to some stupid rule 45.4.78.9 while at the same time viewing a slo mo replay is insane
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: Rome on April 14, 2013, 10:14:53 AM
From what I understand they're saying he hung himself with his comments after the round.  He suggested he moved it back a bit to avoid hitting the stick again.  Look, I've played the game for 35 years and I'm about as far from Woods as possible in terms of talent, but hitting a stick from 90 yards is roughly one in a thousand for me and probably one in a hundred for him.  It's possible he did think he'd hit it again by hitting it from the same spot, but it's also possible he thought he'd hole it out too.  That's how wildly arrogant these guys are.  And that's not an insult either.  They're so good that it's entirely possible he thought he'd do it again.  If that's the case, then the penalty is justified.  It's just not justified to me because it happened a day after the round was over, and they only moved on it because of someone texting them after the fact about the "violation."

23 inches backwards (or even forward) on a fairway is not an advantage.....if he moved the ball two yards left to get a better sightline around a tree or some shtein then yes you penalize....or if he dropped to avoid some bad rough fine.....what they did is just penalizing to penalize because some salty redneck wanted to screw the negroid

I'm usually not on the race bandwagon with you, but considering the place and their atrocious history with race, I'd say this is a possibility that can't be overlooked or laughed away.  I mean, the little Chinese kid was hit with a slow play penalty when every other player on the course was playing slow because of the wind swirling, yet he gets popped?

I don't know.  It's probably a coincidence but with these rich white untouchable douchebags, you can't rule it out.
Title: Re: Golf
Post by: QB Eagles on April 14, 2013, 10:48:27 AM
I agree Rome. I understand the rule. Certainly there are a number of circumstances where moving the ball back from the hole a little could provide an advantage, and it's best to leave the decision of whether it provides an advantage out of human hands.

The part of it that's bullshtein is when Jim Nantz rats you out the next day. That's not something that happens in a real sport.

Pretty much everything about the terrible history and people of Augusta is true (actually maybe the worst thing is that all the caddies and menial workers had to be black there for the longest time... at the site of a former slave plantation, when all the golfers were white), but this incident owes more to golf itself being a joke of a sport.

A victim of Tiger's actions when Tiger, who was roughly 50 yards away and blocked by hundreds of people, had the temerity to pull a club out of his bag for his next shot.    This happened after the marshalls had told Tiger that Sergio had already hit his shot.

Basically someone farted and Sergio blamed Tiger for his lousy shot.

QuoteTiger Woods and Sergio Garcia had a misunderstanding on the par-5 second hole at TPC Sawgrass on Saturday that reignited the two golfers' longtime feud. However, the marshal who was following the group said Woods's explanation for his actions on the hole was not true, according to Sports Illustrated's Michael Bamberger.


In the third round, on the 2nd hole, Woods hit a poor tee shot into the left trees. García hit a better tee shot, on the right side of the fairway. If the players had been communicating properly, García and Woods, or their caddies, would have established an order of play. But there was nothing like that. García, playing out of turn but not able to see Woods, was disrupted as he started his swing by a modest cheer from the woods, where a large group of spectators had surrounded Tiger, forming a human V around his ball. The cheers were a response to Woods's pulling a five-wood out of his bag, meaning that he was going to attempt an absurdly difficult recovery shot. García, after fatting his shot, turned his round chin in Woods's direction and glared.

"It's very simple," García said during an NBC interview. "You have to pay attention to what's going on because the other guy is hitting. You do something when you're in the crowd, and the crowd is going to respond."

Returning serve, Woods said, "The marshals, they told me he already hit, so I pulled a club and was getting ready to play my shot, and then I hear his comments afterward and it's not real surprising that he's complaining about something."

Well, when they heard that remark from Woods, the marshals were surprised. One of them, Gary Anderson, said on Sunday, "He didn't ask us nothing, and we didn't say nothing. We're told not to talk to the players."

Anderson's boss, John North, was the chief marshal for the first three holes. He stood over Woods's ball to protect it from the throng and was five feet away when Woods played his shot. North has worked the tournament as a volunteer marshal for 30 years, he's a graduate of the Naval Academy, he served in Vietnam, he's a FedEx pilot and he donates his round on the Stadium course for being a volunteer to the Wounded Warriors project.

"Nothing was said to us and we certainly said nothing to him," North said. "I was disappointed to hear him make those remarks. We're there to help the players and enhance the experience of the fans. He was saying what was good for him. It lacked character."

Hours later, his workweek done, North watched the tournament on TV in a military appreciation tent. "I hate to say it, but I was rooting for him," North said of Woods. "It tears me apart. But when he's winning..."

Played in a customer's tournament on Friday.  I usually hate these things.  7 hour rounds, dinner, you're exhausted, get home late, etc.  This one was a blast.  We had a fun group and we were all about the same skill level so everyone was comfortable.  Also played at a beautiful course that hosts an LPGA event every year.  You'll love this IGY, every major liquor distributor was there so there were sampling tents at every other whole plus the suped up golf carts were riding around offering you whatever libation you desired.  There were some incredible spirits to be sampled and they were not skimping.  The Jack Daniels tent was especially gratifying.

I love watching Phil Mickelson play golf.  He's such a colossal farg up it's amazing he's ever won in his entire career.   The guy is insanely talented, though, and if he ever learned to flip the switch he has missing from his head that causes him to hit the worst possible shot at the worst possible time, he might have double the wins he has now.  It really is amazing to see.

Oak Hill is defenseless right now.  Professionals will ass rape courses in conditions & set-ups like this.  The PGA has to do something to avoid total embarrassment (like someone shooting 59 which is highly unlikely but still a remote possibility).

I had the weirdest day on the course yesterday.  Shot a 40 on the front nine without a birdie.   Shot a 42 on the back nine with a double, a triple and a birdie that I holed out from 100 yards on 18 (this after I yanked my drive left behind a tree then chipped out to the 100 yard marker which I then removed for relief).   Bizarre shtein, yo.

Golf.

Also - a woman member jarred a hole in one and bought the clubhouse a round of drinks after.  Found out she's in her late 50's but no exaggeration she looks like she's 40 tops.   Meeeow.

$4K!  Are you kidding me?  Holy crap.  Ex-coworker of mine went years ago and said it was awesome.  Of course everything was comped so I don't see how he couldn't enjoy it.  No Tiger will be interesting. Yes it's the Masters but no Tiger takes a lot of wind out of the sails.

augusta is an amazing place and the masters is the crown jewel of the sport.   but sure, it's for racist republicans only.  it's not like anyone else would have any interest.   not in the binary world of igytodd.

actually, i would expect havas not to have any interest because (1) it's outdoors, (2) playing rap music during the event isn't permitted, and (3) there's actual walking from place to place required when you attend, sometimes up and down hills even, but it does surprise me that todd wouldn't be interested.  you know, with it being one of the biggest sporting events in the world, and him being a "sports writer" and all.

ah well... let's eat cake.

never said i didnt have interest, but i dont. golf is not my thing. its boring and im not really into it, save for tiger making a run at a major.

but you can go if you want, buddy

and golfs audience is almost exclusively old and rich. poling data shows old + rich = republican, by and large. there are numerous other examples of that, namely the sport turning on tiger because he banged some skanky perkins waitresses.

It's a scramble. You guys know how that works right? All four hit but best ball is played...

We didn't take picks nor did we have the lowest score (63).

Our "anchor" was a great driver. Consistent 280-300 down the middle. Heaviest hitter I've played with off the box.

So it was easy to work with that.

I thought I heard this was her 32 major!

I like drinking beer and driving the carts around recklessly. The sport itself bores me to no end.

Last time I went, it was 95 degrees, and the beer cart was broken down. No beer, no skimpily dressed beer cart girl, not even any farging water in the heat. I haven't felt the urge to golf since although I do think I lost 5 pounds that day.

I don't have the righteous hatred for it that Dio does, but it does seem silly to chase a little ball around an immaculately kept lawn. Then again, everyone thinks the hobbies they aren't interested in are all retarded. A large segment of the population feels that way about sports in general.

The heart has to soften a little bit when the game's living legend hits a hole-in-one as an old man though, right?

Spieth shooting a 64 on that farging course is just idiotic.   I'd be thrilled with breaking 100 and I'm a 12-handicap.  It's not even the length of the place or the accuracy from the fairway that's required either.  You could be dead down the middle on every drive and hit 18 greens and still shoot 80 because the greens are just so insanely difficult.  Yet those guys make it look like child's play.

PS: I'm with Matty here.  Sergio is bound to stop choking eventually and this weekend might be the one time he keeps it together long enough to actually win something other than the half dozen Ryder Cups he's won.

Here's an example...

QuoteWilliam Whelan

All I can say is golf channel is a waste of time. It should be called all tiger all the time. Really showing tiger for half a show when he is 2 under is an insult to every other golfer playing the Master's. I can not believe that the stupid things they are coming up with. Ryan burr the first night said tiger is still in it because he (tiger) said so. Friday's night new twist if Jordan was not at 14 under tiger would only be 7 back.Well JordaN is at 14 under so let's talk about how great that is.NOBODY in 78 years at the Masters has done that So what is the,lead story tiger made the cut. Shameful golf channel this is a disgraceful way to telecast such a great display by Jordan. I thought if you were a golf fan you want to see a great round of golf.Here this kid has played 2 rounds and what do we hear about that 2 mins about it. The last thing is Rich Lerner or whatever is is last name should be fired. He is Sicking listening to him tiger tiger tiger.

They're pimping Spieth as the new golden child, but that's exactly the problem... he couldn't be more of a country club Caucasian if he tried.  And that's not insult either.  He's a good kid with all the right tools to dominate but the PGA has too many of them right now.  It's not really about race, though.  It's more about class.  They need working class champions that the 99% can get behind and cheer for.   McIlroy would be perfect if he wasn't a black Irishman.

LOL.  It's about both, always has been, and always will be.   The whole idea is to go where they can't to pass the time amongst your own.  It was a brilliant move to make some cheap ass courses for the proletariat.  Gives you someone to sell clubs to and creates a giant base of viewers for advertising revenue, but they still can't actually join your club.  Nice deal.  Good cover for being racist, sexist, classist scum.  Many of them will even defend you because they too "golf" (at the nine dollar course.)

When the revolution starts, one of the better acid tests for loyalty to the people will be golf.  Kill all the golfers and you'll come as close as any other broad scale in/out test could bring you.  And really, as messy as those kinds of things are, you really do have to separate the loyalists from the bourgeois pretenders at the very start.  So many will claim sympathy with the cause, but their only real sympathy is savng their own hides long enough to go back to pretending they're rich, or that rich people like them.

I'll be here all week.

And I think for many Masters to come.  This is fun.

Get a part-time gig at a club.  They usually come with free golf for the help unless it's a hoity-toity club that doesn't allow staff privileges.  Other than that, the best bet you have is to find municipal tracks outside the city.

thank you!  I love golf but couldn't agree more.  So an NBA player has to shoot a clutch free throw as opposing fans wave balloons, clap thunder sticks together, scream as loud as they can, NFL kickers same thing, FIFA soccer players taking penalty kicks, I can go on.  That's why I love the 17th at the Phoenix Open.  I know they don't make a salary like other athletes and one bad shot can cost them thousands of dollars but when a prick like Tiger's old caddy would threaten photographers when his player is banking more in endorsements than 3/4 of the worlds GNP, STFU.

QuoteFor some, all this rigorous pomposity is cause for praise. Augusta National is the last bastion of some sacred, vanishing way of life, the theory goes, although what that way of life might be is beyond me, since self-important old rich people who make life hell for everyone else are too common to be considered sacred, and too entrenched to be vanishing.

Shooting 78 is a huge jump up for me at this age.  I was going to immediately post the news here because I know how much most of you love golf and me personally, but I didn't.  Sorry!

Post by: PhillyPhreak54 on June 27, 2015, 10:19:05 PM
Yeah Don it was a bitch yesterday. The tourney organizer has done this for almost 20yrs and it's always last week of June. If he did it in April or March it wouldn't be as brutal.

Igy I learned my lesson with getting shteinfaced while golfing in the heat a couple years ago. Buddy and I went through 18 holes and a case of beer and I vowed to never to do it again. I'll drink when golfing but not when a swampy 95 degrees.

Today I didn't think we would play because it stormed it's ass off last night. They delayed us an hour and started us in a drizzle and it wasn't as bad as yesterday with the heat. Humid as shtein but cloudy.

I shot the best I've ever shot today. It was a four man scramble but I had the most playable shots of the foursome. I've corrected my slice issues for the most part. I still had some where I left the club face wide open but I think I've finally convinced my bottom hand to stay aligned with the top.

Walked away this weekend with $100 in winnings so not all for naught

The course got its ass kicked because there was no wind and they've had historic rains which has softened and greened the course.

Guys were shooting 66 and 67 like it was a pitch and putt, but yeah, he was on fire.   The ball was dead in the center of the cup until the last rotation when all of a sudden it moved straight to the right and lipped out.

Despite the lack of athleticism in golf, there's a decent amount of stress placed on your shoes through game play, especially your forward shoe (left shoe if right handed, right shoe if left handed).  Even more so if you actually walk the entire course.....which pretty much no one does except the pros and pro-wannabes.

Jim Furyk shot a 58 today in Connecticut.  First time in PGA Tour history someone has broken that barrier.  10 birdies and an eagles and he lipped out on 18 to just miss shooting 57.

Golf just had another colossal meltdown because of a viewer calling in a rules violation. 

The twist is it happened yesterday and they didn't assess the penalty until the 12th hole during today's round. 

Simply amazing. 

The girl who got penalized ended up losing the tournament in a playoff too.   Amazingly ridiculous.

The funny thing is the LPGA barely gets any attention at all but this will get them a ton for at least the next 24 hours.   They're in full spin mode too.  They're having rules officials being interviewed to justify their ridiculous decision. 

It's astounding that a Major competition was decided based on a minor infraction that happened yesterday, yet no one noticed until some dick sent an e-mail in 20 hours later.

Another couple things

the cops say they detect an odor coming from him re: alcohol which we know is a lie since he didn't drink. Another example of the police lying to give themselves probable cause. Same thing with the old "well since you won't consent to a search of your car we will call the dog. The dog alerted so now we will search your shtein"

This is something that reminds me of the ambien horror stories I've read or seen. He may not have taken it but people who have sometimes have these out-on-their-feet episodes. shtein scares me and I'll never use it

My friend had an ambien DUI incident. Went to sleep in his bed and then went out driving unconscious. Smashed into a bunch of parked cars and was picked up for DUI. He was abusing every drug under the sun though so it could have been an interaction. And if he was supposed to take 1 ambien, he probably took 4.

It's nice if he's able to play a solid tourney, but I'm curious if he's able to withstand the gring and be in good enough shape to compete during the majors.  Because that's all anyone cares about with Tiger at this point.  He can shoot in the 60s all he wants during random events, but if he ain't top 10 on Sunday at Augusta, does anyone really care?
Title: Re: Golf

the majors dont require you to be in any better physical shape than any other tournament.....its the mental aspect thats completely different...

in terms of shape tho you can tell hes not in the best as you would expect....hes got a little belly (for him) and he was sweating like harvey weinstein in church...but hes got tons of time to fix that before augusta....its all about the health

also we should all pump the break on major talks....lets let him get thru the weekend first

His back is not even a whisper of a problem.  The vertebrae were fused and the nerve that was causing the issue deadened. 

He looked amazing today.  He still has some rust, but shooting 69-68 in a tournament with 8 out of the top 10 players in the world in the field is some awesome stuff. 
Title: Re: Golf

That's what I'm talking about though....can he play a small tourney here and there and not fall apart come major time?

Physically he obviously can't handle a heavy workload throughout the year, so you gotta wonder how much can he play between majors without farging himself up.

That's fairly common in bigger tournaments.  I go to The Players Championship every year and they don't do it there, or at least, they haven't yet.  I got a benefactor's pass from a buddy of mine who works for NBC this year.  As for the Masters, I'd love to go but I'm not spending $2K to attend a sporting event.  Even if I had that sort of cash for frivolous pursuits, I'd never spend it.

Quote
There are several theories, beginning with Reed's aura on the course. He scowls. He curses. He doesn't interact well with galleries.

There is also the theory that fans don't like him because other golfers don't like him. A 2015 ESPN poll of golfers ranked him as golf's second-most disliked pro behind Bubba Watson. This dislike stems from a history of brash statements, like when he declared himself one of the top five players in the world after only his third PGA Tour victory.

There are also issues in the Texas-born Reed's past, as he left a trail of golfing bad will at his college stops in Georgia and Augusta State. He has been accused by college teammates of stealing and cheating, and his behavior led him to be dismissed from Georgia and suspended for two tournaments at Augusta State. Then there is his confirmed estrangement from his parents, who live near Augusta yet were not part of his Masters celebration.

QuoteReed's story, however, goes goes back farther, and is more complicated. As a junior golfer, Reed rubbed competitors the wrong way, and it continued into college. In the book Slaying the Tiger, Golf Digest contributor Shane Ryan detailed how before Reed came to Augusta State, he started his college career at the University of Georgia but was dismissed from the team. The school never formally explained why, but Ryan reported that there were allegations of Reed cheating during practice rounds and stealing from his teammates. Both the school and Reed deny either of these things happened.

After transferring to Augusta State in 2009, Reed again was dogged by allegations of writing down lower scores than he shot in practice. (Reed has denied this ever occurred at either Georgia or Augusta State.)

The accusations of cheating and stealing are ridiculous and they're also a decade old.  The bottom line is he's not one of "them" and as a result, he'll never be accepted unless he's needed for something.

The other guy standing holeside was Matt Kuchar, btw.  Class act all the way.  And Rickie Fowler meeting him by the scorers cabin was sheer class too.  The rest of them can go farg off.

Look, I have no doubt he was an icehole to women and pretty much everyone else but considering what he endured, I'd say it's a miracle he's not worse.

I think you're missing the headline here.  Tiger's comeback is verging on the mythical. 

Huge promise fulfilled.  A staggering fall from grace.   Unbearable physical trauma and the resulting agonizing pain which left him incapacitated are eventually overcome.  And now a professional and personal redemption that has left him respected, loved and cheered at every turn.

Even a Republican racist piece of shtein like Jim Nance was cheering for him yesterday.   

It's quintessentially American, dude.

I'm 53 and liberal as farg and i know from experience that I'm the limit age-wise.   I followed him at the Players in May and i was probably the oldest guy in that crowd who was cheering for him.  Lots of 20's thru mid-30's people, though.

im sure there are younger people as well obviously there are older people but by and large his fan base are the ones who were 15-25 when he started

the galleries also may play a little younger as walking for 8 hours in one million percent humidity is not something older people are going to do as much

I know you're not a fan of the game, so your misunderstanding of the difficulty of playing the game at that level at that age is understandable. 

Trust me on this... what he did at that age is so insanely difficult, it defies belief. 

Hitting a golf ball consistently straight enough and long enough to compete with men half (or more) your age is nearly impossible.  In the entire history of the game, no one has done it until today. 

That's pretty cool, man.

Far be it from me to defend golf, but I'm thinking a large percentage of athletes in any sport would follow the money. What distinguishes the PGA from other leagues is that it was small enough to be poached. When other leagues were similarly sized we had the USFL and ABA doing exactly that. And it's a rare soccer player who accepts less money to play in his national top flight league over whatever international one is coughing up the most dough.

I haven't checked the numbers in a while but the US uses less Saudi oil than you might expect, given our government's bipartisan fealty to the House of Saud. I think California uses a lot of Saudi oil but in most of the rest of the country it's actually a small amount. Willing to be fact checked on this if someone has the numbers.

they didnt mention a thing about him being a fisherman of any kind much less shooting sharks
Title: Re: Golf

He still definitely does still go shark "fishing" and to his credit does practice catch and release now but he was a shark hunter before he became a big time golfer.  I was mocking him more that anything, the whole shark hunter persona. I exaggerated the shooting part, but hey in the 70's?  Who knows, there wasn't the awareness and as many eyes watching.  I remember seeing a show in TV back in the 70's, may have been an episode of Underwater World of Jaque Cousteau which I loved, but they showed these clowns, may have been Australia, using these high powered explosive tipped spear guns just obliterating the sharks head, being a lifelong surfer who should fear sharks, I was appalled.  I was horrified by the footage.

Yesterday he also stopped for a brother in a branded hoodie whose van was broken down in traffic on Harford Road.  Dude had his 11 year old steering while he and a fifteen year old tried to push the thing out of traffic.  I joined in, and moments later a cop arrived, asking if he needed to call a tow truck because we were impeding traffic.  "you wanna help us get this out the way?" I asked.  'No, I'm not going to help you."  And so it went.  He was a prick and a half to the poor bastich over the kid steering while we pushed the thing at .00375 mph, didn't bother to put on his lights for us, threatened to ticket, etc.  farging icehole. 

Brother in the Eagles laundry tried to offer me cash by way of thanks, which I wouldn't take of course.  farg the police.
