Any golfers on here?

[white05gt]

I took up golfing this summer since I haven't been able to play with the car this summer. It simply amazes me a game that can be so frustrating at times will make you want to play more lol. My scores aren't that great since I haven't played enough to be consistent but my scores average about a 107 for 18 holes.

I've been playing since I was about 8 years old. Love the game and encourage everyone to give it a try.

I play maybe 3 times a year or so. its one of those games that can be hard to play if you dont swing a club regularly, but its a game where you can enjoy it with a bunch of friends for a few hours, kick back in the carts and drink.

and as white05gt said, its a frustrating game that makes you want to play more or improve your game

 

[doogie]

Yep as it definitely can be a frustrating and humbling game. I have been playing for 5 years now and still am very inconsistent. The only way to bring your score down is to play alot. When I playing 2-3 times a week, my scores dropped into the low 90s, but I just don't have the time anymore. Sometimes the best thing to do is just drink a lot of aiming fluid and then your score seems to matter much less

I just went and played yesterday with my buddy. I shot a 45 on the front 9 while pounding beers. On the back 9, after 10 beers and a sausage wrap, I shot a crowd pleasing 57. LOL

We have only been playing for about 6 months but I live about 1.5 miles from the course so we try to go atleast 3 times a month. Love my R7 driver and have Titleist irons right now. About to pick up either the Taylormade R9 or Calloway X-22 irons.

I usually play twice a week, went out yesterday and shot a 91. It can a fun game to play if you go out with a few friends. Most of the time i go just to go, dont keep score and hammer down on beer.

I bought a Taylormade Burner driver and that was a huge help on my drives until this Sunday, never did figure out what I was doing different. I think I am going to try golf lessons this winter when I'm layed off to see if they help my game, figure and can't hurt lol.

I just got into golf. My friend golfs and I've been to the driving range and the chip and putt a few times. Went out on the big course for the first time last week and shot a 133 on a par 68 (no par 5s). If it wasn't for a 15 on the first hole, it would've been a fairly respectable score.

I'm using my dad's golf set from at least 30 years ago. The woods are actually wood. All the clubs are probably a few inches too short for me, but I can't justify spending a few hundred bucks on new clubs...

Going out tomorrow to a different course...the weather has been awesome up here.

I play but like once a month because it definetly ain't a cheap sport to play especially if your club breaks. My friend lives on a University Campus so sometimes I can play for free but only if the guy at the course don't ask to see school ID.

Shot a 128 on a par 70 today. Ready for the Tour.

I got into it because of my little brother. He's 15 and his best to date is 84 IIRC. I go with him just to chill and sit in the cart and hit up the driving and chipping range when we're done. He had a nike sasquatch, then he got a burner, now he's got a big bertha. That kid trades up clubs like a damn pro. lol. I'm not sure of the degrees he uses or stiff clubs or not, but whatever he uses it's working for him pretty well. When I graduate next year, I want to get him fitted for a custom set of irons. They're expecting scouts for him next year from Texas Tech so I'd like him to be prepared.

84 on a national average of par 70 is pretty decent and with years to come he could definitely get better. The think with Golf unlike so sports is practice makes you a whole hell a lot better, like with baseball I could drop it for 3 months and still be alright but Golf completely different.

Yeah, it's not that bad, and he's looking to break into the high to mid 70s in this next season. But yeah, it's not like riding a bike. Haha. I learned that quick.

 

[white05gt]

Hell, I would be happy to get in the low 90's

 

[retfr8flyr]

Well one of the advantages of being retired and living in a golf community is getting to play as much as you want. I play about 3-5 times a week in good weather. The disadvantage is being old and I can't hit it as far as I once did. Currently play to a 6.4 index but can't play from the back tees anymore.

I have played since high school , we would practice everyday at our local course and I would shoot low to mid 40`s in tournaments ( we played 9 holes vs. other schools) . Now I only play every other month or so and I shoot in the mid to upper 90`s.

Golf is a game you must keep up on and practice.

We had a golf coach in highschool and his famous saying was "the golf course is only 6 inches long, its from ear to ear" . We knew he meant it was all in our heads but we always used to come up with some penis analogy when he said that.

 

[chutoyy]

It's been so long since I've played golf... Ahrk.

 

[white05gt]

I played golf today but I didn't do very good. It was the last time out with the co-worker that got me started in golfing so we just went out to have a good time and drank a lot of beer lol.

 

[Bingo]

Shot a 120 today! Woooo......!

 

[speedofsound]

Haha, I just bumped my old golf thread before seeing this one, sorry.


Been playing since the summer of 7th grade, I'm 39 now. Love the game with all my heart, and really enjoy bringing new players to the game.

I try to play on weekends as best my schedule/weather allows. The driving range is a "hangout" for me, and I'm forever tinkering around the house. I don't think I'm ever more than 5 feet from a golf club! Home, office, cars...

Total obsession, haha. I'll play until the big guy upstairs won't let me anymore.
