Re: Any Golfers Out There???
[QUOTE=know1;382651]I used to golf a lot, but I gave it up for a less time and money consuming past time......heroin.

Hope you didn't give fishing up too, since it consumes a lot more time and money! I have a feeling you didn't. :D
Here is my average cost breakdown for both:
Golf: Spent about $800 dollars total for all clubs.
Spent $210 on a yearly membership to city courses
Spend $2 for 18 holes walking
Fishing: Spent $10,000 + for bass boat
Spend $200 per trip
Have spent, can't even really count how many thousands and thousand of $ on fishing gear.
Spend $700 a month for my truck to pull my boat
Spend hundreds a month on insurance (boat/truck)
Spent nearly a grand a year on maintenance of boat
Golf is definitely the cheaper of the two hobbies. If I didn't love fishing so much, those figures would have just made me give it up and stick to golf! I guess I'm just a fish-a-holic! :D

Re: Any Golfers Out There???
Okay Rich, I've got to know more about this Geek Golf DCT Driver...you've got me curious on that one. What's so special about it? Never heard of it. 300+ is no joke.
Oh yeah, one of my customers at work is a member at Old Stone. He says it is unbelievable.

Splitshot-
I had never heard of it either. I was looking for a new driver because I my Titleist D1 was just not cutting it. I could hit it straight with ease, it was just short. I was also ballooning the ball way to high on the drive. Well, I googled low degree drivers, and came across Geek DCT (dot com this) drivers. Found out that it had won the REMAXX long drive competitions for ever! I thought, what kind of name is that for a driver! GEEK? But I research into the driver head further and found thousands of extremely positive reviews. I decided to go for it since the price was right, only $129 for the head or $229 built. I got an upgraded shaft to a Whup-n-shaft, which is the shaft that has also won the long drive competitions forever. Got it in a 6 degree to help with my ballooning drives, and a low trajectory 48" whup-n-shaft. Best thing to ever happen to my game. The ball literally flies off the clubface! And the best part, all I have to do is swing smooth, not try and kill it. I've started driving par 4's at 350+yds, and making par 5's in two. Dropped my handicap from a 10 to a 2. I swear by it! They have a life time warranty on the heads too!
I know, Olde Stone looks amazing! I sometimes drive by it and just drool. One day I'll be able to play it, I hope! :D
