Golf Addiction

[DJD]

DUDE....you've got to call a brother sometime....

Lakeside Golf Course....18 holes, then across the street for bass in the grass. It don't get no better than that! Well, unless there was a shooting range halfway between the two....and a female-only nude beach with a weight limit....but you get my point.

Will be in touch! I'm loving the hobby so far!!

Thanks Rich. Like anything I do I jump in with both feet so I see much money being spent! I'm using my friends Ping Eye 2 copperhead red dots with graphite shafts? Something like that! LOL I know they are sweet! At least I'm being told that. Prolly why I hit a few nice balls...it's the clubs!
I'll see what I like as I spend more time with different golfers and learn what fits me.

I know you guys are getting tired of my"good ole daze", I used to golf when I first got married, and before that. No golf carts!Wood shafts. And long walks. Then it was considered a sport, hobby, and good exercise. And it was cheap!!

There's not a sport you'll love as much that will frustrate you as much....I've played since I was 12 but choose fishing over golf nowadays but it is as addictive as it gets....A guy I grew up playing against is now on the PGA tour and just watching somebody like that keeps you wanting to get better

I've been playing since I was 12 myself and I'm now 32. The last 7 years of bass fishing has really cut into my golf time. I'm thinking I should have stuck with golf because I was much better at golf than fishing.

#1 Have you invested in a "Foot-Wedge" yet for your bag?
#2 The pencil is an amazing scoring tool.
#3 Distance is over rated. If you're straight, you can play anywhere.
#4 Either learn how to putt and chip well....or take up Checkers.
#5 Distance is over rated. If you're straight, you can play anywhere.

That's about all you really need to know.

Oh, and never use the ball-washer on a hole that contains a water hazard. It's like smiting the Golf Gods and you will pay severely.

Seriously though, it's a process of learning that takes awhile. I've been playing since college and I'm just now to the point where I'm fairly consistent, know what I can and can't do...I can probably show you a few things that will either (1) save you some time and money, or (B) jack you up seven ways from Sunday. That's the beauty of this #@$!%^ game.

Well it's official I played my first 9 holes ever(got rained out) and I'm eat up with it. Went to the driving range on Sunday and did pretty good with the 7 iron (all I brought with me). Had a few bad balls but had several that felt and sounded great! I need lessons but right now it's just so much fun!!!
Another hobby......just what I needed!

This may be where you can get some great golf lessons.

Man I hit the same lake from last Fall that was topwater heaven (from the Yaks)this past Sunday. Managed 10 in a few hours but that heat was too much. Tubes tubes and tubes.

I wouldn't say that! I would say I am learning to golf! Hahahaha
