Hopefully playing my first round this saturday, weather permitting. I usually play a par 3 for my time out each year so when I tell people my score it doesn't sound so bad. I play a par 3 with 9 holes people here a score of 18 holes on an average course lol.

86 for the first round of the year is better than 99% of the golfers out there

Yeah but i intentionially played a wide open course.....lots of room for ugly tee shots :dance:

I enjoy playing tighter courses lined by trees, because trees and I have a natural understanding...when my slice off the tee careens off into the tree line they jump in the way and kick it back onto the fairway. My friends are constantly amazed by my "luck", if only they knew :toofunny:

Golf is king. I just found a $200/pair of Etonics for $30 - just amazing. My friend is the Club Pro (not entirely that impressive) and gives me constant tips in a humble manner, pretty cool. It's definitely improved my game.

With that being said, I am horrid with my long irons, but completely surgical with short irons and around the green.

Hybrids boys....my 3 and 4 iron don't even get added to the bag unless its windy.

Unless you are hitting into 20+mph winds, these clubs are becoming obsolete.

I'm old school when it comes to golf as well, LOL. The only club I have that has a graphite shaft is my driver, and I don't like it much. I really like steel shafted clubs but I don't think anyone makes them anymore That said, I haven't even hit a driving range since 2004 or 2005 on new years day after partying (I don't remember who's idea it was, but it was a great time, LOL).

no clue, but you can get a steel shaft put in any club you have....custom clubs are pretty popular, my buddy put together my set years ago.

 

[ManBeast]
