Golf!

[know1]

I used to golf a lot, but haven't golfed more than about once per year the last 13 years or so.

I am kind of interested in getting back into it. I played nine holes a few weeks ago and my score wasn't too bad.

But...I played in a scramble on Friday and was terrible.

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.

My current driver is the Titleist 910D2, which has the adjustable head. Of the Titleist drivers, it's the most forgiving. I hit it pretty decent, but honestly didn't pick up too much yardage over my old Taylor Made...maybe 5-10 yards on average. The adjustable head does make a difference, because there are a couple configurations that I flat out can't hit. lol. But what I have found is that I find the configuration that I hit best and never change it, in which case the adjustable head was kind of pointless for a player like me. I have old Titleist 908F fairway woods that I've yet to find anything new worthy of replacing them with.

Everything in my bag is a Titleist, except for my putter...but if I had it to do over again, I might have just stuck with Taylor Made for the big gun. I like my driver, but am not in love with it. I think you get to a certain point with technology where a driver is a driver and it's just more about how it feels and looks to you...much like expensive fishing rods.

The Titleist is a driver I never looked at. Will check it out.
