Any Golfers Here

Any Golfers on VSC?

Played at my first course yesterday, 18 holes all Par 3. all in all I scored 33 above par for my first time. 

its a pretty fun game if you play with friends and dont take it too seriously. my bro and cousin almost killed a few people LOL

haha..

I like golf, its just a very expensive game so I dont play often.

very expensive, im going to just get a cheap walmart set for for like 120 or something and play on weekends

does golden tee count?

Yep been doin it for the past 9 years (only 4 of that competitive).  Pretty fun game overall.   Im a +9 handicap as of right now.   I think I could get it down to +5 with a little practice and playing more than once a month.

i just started and been playing alot. check out sports authority usually they have sets on sale cheap with $25 off coupon. or buy from ebay, buy ur iron set, woods/drivers, putter, and bag. it will be a lil more in the end. but well worth it. i bought a cheap set and it lasted a week til i returned it and bought something better.

Agreed.  Dont cheap out and buy the Walmart set.  Youll "outgrow" that really fast.   If you want to go cheap, go to a driving range that builds clubs and buy some irons there.  They can custom fit you, and youll swing that set of custom fit clubs that are re-branded names (Nike, Callaway, Ping, and all the others) better than buying the name brands off the shelf.    The only clubs I say to "go for name" on is driver, woods, and putter.  They can actually make a difference that is noticeable.   For all clubs, I suggest you swing them a bit, hit some balls with them, and make sure theyre right for you.    If you have any questions, feel free to ask.    Ive worked at a driving range for the past 8 summers, so Ive pretty much seen and done it all (including beginners lessons all the way thru club repair)

i'm a big time golfer...the only game you can play for 60+ years...

i like the feel of graphite clubs but alot of people dont like them. i havent played with graphite clubs but like how they feel, any input on this, pros cons

graphite shafts were made for women and seniors. i thought the same when i started, but u get use to steel shafts, they are better anyways. if u want something light look into rifled shafts.

I have been playing for years now.  I have been trying lately to play at least one round of 18 a week.  Like any serious amateur, I feel my striking skills are great but my short game is always the bane of me.   Any bay area cats, we should play sometime!

Well its not where my SN came from but I have been playing since age 5.  Dont get out as much as I used to and only hold a 7 handicap now a days.

I use Aldila S-65 stiff shafts for my driver and 3 wood.  2 iron down is steel.  But the pop you can get with properly matched shaft for your swing is amazing.

When we have that nation wide VIP meet in Vegas, we should meet up for a round of golf.

i need to start playing.. theres literally a course in my back yard lol

Been playing off and on for years. Hadn't played in a couple, but the past 3 months or so been getting back out pretty often. Although I was about to throw my clubs in the dumpster last time I played. :runcoold:

I go to the driving range, does that count? lol.

[QUOTE=Caoboy;173418]I go to the driving range, does that count? lol.[/QUOTE]

ahh thats where it all starts!

the range is a good stress reliever


side note: sig is so true

Funny thing is, I whooped my dad in distance a while back, he was getting mad because it was my first time out there! He actually plays golf too! But he sucks. I need to get out there more, but it's too dang hot, AND I'm left handed, which makes it weird.

Im left handed but swing right handed. 

how many golf courses are there in modesto? havent been up there in awhile

I actually don't know. 

We've got a driving range on McHenry now though.

Cant decide if i want to stop and play 9 tonight on my way home or hit the gym.....  Didnt get over to the club this weekend moving into the new condo, papers finally closed!

I love golf more than vip cars. oops did I just say that...

I've been playing for 7 yrs and love this game. It's very addictive and I will never get sick of it.

It even rubbed off on LOTC from CL and we practice alot. He's just afraid to hit the course with me. hehe

Pro Vs are such sick balls.  Even the originals are sweet.  Very nice choice.   So soft, yet I dont seem to cut them much and they fly a mile.  Plus, you can put enough action on them to do anything.

gotta be some Bay Area cats here that want to put together a few rounds?

They get the job done thats for sure.  I get more distance out of Nike balls, but they last around 4-5 holes per ball(depending on what tees I play(distance relation))  I will cut up a nike from some front tees if I am hitting driver wedge every par 4.  I can usually get 2 rounds out of a Pro V1x.

I used to play Sharon Height G&CC all the time....as well as Stanford's Course when I was going to school. ( I miss Cali!!)
 I haven't played much at all this year.....New job kickin my a$$.
 
Clubs,
Titleist 990's
Calloway putter
Titleist 8.5 driver with .5 degree fade and ultra super stiff shaft.
of course, only PRO v1's
 
I was a 9.8 Handicap, but that was at least two years ago when I was playing regularly....
