Tee Time...

[Racing Rice]

Does anyone in here golf.. Ive been really bored lately and have been thinking about golfing.. Just to get out and give me something to do. I never thought Id say I want to golf but Ive never golfed before and was wanting to try something new.

i usta its pretty fun actualy once you get out there, and if your good, when you suck its no fun at all, i was hitting mid 80's to low 90's when i quit, your making me wana go out there again.

um, not very much..

But it's a good activity to chat with your firends at the same time.
Since it's a slow paced game..
:sleep:

i do, its fun and relaxing but it can be frustrating like a mofo, its good to do with a few friends just to hang out and relax

[Racing Rice]

My friends go every once in a while and arent that great either,they said its cool cause they get out there just goof off and have fun..

Having fun is what its about. I like golf, but I don't get to play very often. Its a good sport. Play it before you invest the $$$ into the equipment.

Another note.... Balata balls are for the REAL good players. Get the Surlyn balls and save your money(these are two different types of ball coverings). Besides if yo ustart like I did they'll all get lost anyhow..

*L* I was thinking those little wiffle ball type golf balls.. *L* Ill probably loose a ton.. I swing left handed and all my friends are right, we might go golfing tomorrow if it isnt raining out. Im going to try to golf right handed this will be interesting.::yes::

I've been golfing a few times. Its a great stress reliever. I recommend it for your bordum. Good luck and be safe.

[Accord Man]

It's basically like when you hang out with your friends not doing anything..

Well when you play golf, you just do not very much..


:rolleyes:

Don't need to be drunk to do that.....;)

But the beer is a plus...:D

Sword fighting with the clubs is always fun. Watch out so a ball don't bounce off your head. Those things really hurt.

Ill really have to watch for that.. My friends are notorious for hitting people... I have one friend that almost hit our other friend standing next to him at a driving range..:eek:

[94_AcCoRd_EX]

Yeah, I golf. Well, I haven't been for awhile now, but I was shooting about 38-39 on a local 9 hole course when I stopped.

We played the front 9 I got a 70.. not to bad for my first time.. I cant drive for crap though... I was hitting the tee and the ball wasnt moving.. but it was a blast..

The other guys I went with hit a 64 and a 59.. So I didnt loose by much.

Not bad for a first timer! I can't drive the ball either. I have to make up for it with my short game.

I did better driving with a 7 iron then I did with the driver.. I was using an old set of clubs and the driver had a small head on it.. I got a new set now.. Hopefully the bigger sweet spot will help me out a little..

Itll probably just give me more slice.. *L*

I think it was $100-$120. If you goto Dick's Sporting Goods you can get refurbished clubs. ;)

Its only snow.. we can invent Ice golfing, I dont know, but it sounds cool.. You have to play with colored balls tho, cause you probably lose the white ones in the white snow..... But you couldnt use yellow ones either cause you lose them in the yellow snow.. ;)

Actually my friend and I went to Rolandia(yeah, crappy course) and played when it was about 30 degrees out. Talk about desperate.....

The colored ball idea only works in snowfalls less than 4". After that they're gone.
