Golf!

I know a guy who could play 18 holes with nothing but an old 7-iron and a putter...and probably beat every one of us here. The short game is where it's at!

You're doing the right thing worrying about the driver later. If you can get good with the short irons and dial them in, then learn fundamentals of chipping from around the green...those two areas and the putter is where you score. Smoking a drive 300 yards down the middle is cool, but doesn't mean jack if you can't get on the green and putt. Big drives with no short game to seal the deal would be the equivalent of having a G-Loomis NRX with a shiny new Chronarch, casting a Crankbait 75 yards, and having no treble hooks on it.

I almost bid on a set of Ping Eye 2 clubs that had G-Loomis shafts on ebay. They sold for 200$ but man I have too many as it is.

I might have posted this before, but it belongs on this thread. Careful, the language is a little strong. It's Robin Williams, after all...

My observation on golf: I found I could go out of the one of the most beautiful days of the year and be in a great mood when I walked up to the tee on the first hole and by the time I finished 18 holes if I had a bad round I would be frustrated and mad at myself and the whole world. I also learned that I could go fishing and the weather could be bad, the fish not biting, break a rod, put bird nests in my reels and break off the only good bite I had all day and come off the water feeling like I had a great time and a great day. It has been 20 years since I played my last round of golf, that last day after finishing the first 9 at Ft Campbell, I turned to my boss who was playing with me and gave him all my expensive clubs, bag, shoes, balls etc.....when to the club house, had a beer and then went fishing...haven't looked back since.

I LOVED Reading this and laughed out loud. This is EXACTLY how I feel about Golf. I need NO MORE aggravation in my life I have an abundant supply. Fishing and hunting is my escape, you boys can have Golf and KEEP IT, LOL..

This threesome was standing at the first hole waiting for a friend, This guy walks up and asks if he can join them, they agree and start. At about the 5 hole these two start talking, the stranger thanks him for letting him join. I havn't had a day off in two years, and I appreciate this. Two holes the guy asks the stranger what he does for a living? I'm a hit man he told him. yer kidding right? NO Look at this he takes a sniper rifle out of his golf bag and shows him.Two holes later the first guy says I live on the course, man you're lucky the stranger says. First guy says hey can I use your scope to see my house? Sure. First guy says wow this a powerfull scope. I can look right into my bed room, and watch my bueatifull wife getting undressed. "Crap" he says. theres my neighbor BOB, he's also getting undressed.Hes very upset. Hey, how much do you charge for a hit? 10 grand the stranger says, but I'll give you 50% off. I don't have that kind of money on me, How much to just wound them? a grand he says. OK deal. Shoot my wife in her lying mouth. Bobs a nice guy, just shoot his thing off. The stranger starts aiming, and the first guy says shoot already! the stranger fires once, and puts his rifle away. Whats up the first guy asks. I just saved you a grand he says.

That is why you take your rod with you when you play golf!
