Anybody here play the wonderful game of golf?

I took some golfing lessons a few summers ago, I'd say learning golf was a very rewarding experience.

However, I'll always prefer Frolf :)

I gave golf a try once, I was hopeless  :lol

But ultimately, it's just not my cup of tea  :)

Anybody else here play golf?

I do.  Or at least I'd like to think I 'play' golf.  Last season I wanted to break 90 for the first time in the 7 years since I took up the game and bought some clubs.  91 was the best I could do.  I'm just under 100 as often as I'm just over the 'mendoza' line.  For me...I need to play a minimum of 3 times a week if I want to improve.  Going to the driving range and practicing on the pratice green...chipping and putting helps me too.   Maybe this year? :angel:


FORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[skin] :lol

It is a game of practice. ;D


I work at a golf course and nothing has changed since caddyshack! :hat

Alice Cooper is one hell of a golfer.

True that. Addsome, post a picture of your set of clubs!

I once found an abandoned golf club near the bushes in the parking lot for my local fair grounds. I carried it with me while I walked until I realized that I didn't actually know why I was carrying it, so I put it in the bed of some guy's truck.

let me guess, a nine iron was found?

Was it yours?

yes, give it back!

3 years ago I was beside myself because my 7 iron had gone missing.  You know how you sometimes leave clubs lying around the green while you putt?  I looked in the club lost and found...left word at the clubhouse...and...nothing.

About 5 days later I left for Toronto on a work asignment and decided I'd go to 'Golf Town' to see if I could replace my 7 iron.  My clubs...at THAT point 4 years old were obsolete...7 'models' out of date.  I was advised to go to 'brand name' dot com and try and find a used one.  Mightily disappointed I returned to my hotel room...looked in my golf bag and THERE was my 7 iron.  I had filed it in the wrong spot and had simply overlooked it...like at least a dozen times. :-[

Doi oip dee doip! :lol

One of my buddies leaves a club behind at some green at LEAST twice...EVERY season. :o

It happens all the time at the course I work at. It's usually a short iron or wedge that is found on the course. 4 year old clubs are not obsolete. :-[

No ... they're not.  BUT they don't 'stock' 'em...'cause that was 7 models ago.  Now, 3 years later, I'm gearing up to use them again.  And they WORK too.  No...MY problem is the balls.  Damn things won't co-operate.  I think they 'cure' them in urine.  AND...before they sell them they store them either in water or in a forest somewhere.  Those friggin' balls have been TRAINED. :o

Hey Now!!!! >:(  It's NOT the guy holding the clubs!!! ;)

 :lol what kind of ball do you use?

You meant BallS right?  I use 'LOTS'.  Some times I'll go a week or so and not lose a ball.  Then I'll drop 3 from the 'supplies' on ONE 'blinkin' hole.

Callaway El Diablos...or 'Titliest' Pro Vs...as they're now affectionately known.

My wife freaked out.  "What are THESE?  Tit li est?  What the...?"  No dear that's Title-est. :lol

 :lol :lol :lol

I am a novice golfer with a bag of old ping clubs from the 1980s right now. Good thing they are greatest clubs ever made: The Ping Eye 2.
