Default Who Plays Golf Here???

I was just curious. I've always loved the game but just recently got into it.

I got a brand new set of clubs and a bag, and I play once a week, usually Friday afternoons. I think it's the most relaxing thing ever.

Basketball is still my favorite sport (hands down)...go Lakers...

But golf is very fun too. I'm not the kind of guy to get frustrated with things easily. That's good since golf is extremely difficult.

Anyway, do any of you play?

I love it. Especially putting.

I've never had the time, and I agree that it could get very frustrating.

When I worked a Picatinny arsenal in New Jersey there were a few golfers in my department; there is a course on the arsenal grounds. These guys would experience withdrawal symptoms during the Winter when the course was covered with snow. How nice it was when Spring finally came and they could get back out onto the links! The rest of us (non-golfers) were grateful!

Can you even fit golf club bags in your car?

Yes, you can. A soft bag will fit in the trunk. I should know because I played hooky on Friday to play with some old friends. If you need anything more than a softbag, you're going to have to resort to using shotgun for that.

its just very amazing to me how you can hit a tiny golf ball into a hole a couple of hundred yards away ~

of course, if you can do it really well, then you will be hella rich and got hooked up with some swedish model chick ... (aka. tiger woods)



play on~ (as long as you keep the golf balls in the golf course )

<----- plays golf too!

I have a set of Mizuno T-Zoid Pro II's.

I don't use the Mizuno drivers though. I have the Hawkeye Ti's.



Handicap = around 12 but that's because I haven't hit for like a couple years. When I was in my prime, I was a single handicap.

Wow, I wish I had a 12 handicap. I don't keep score yet (not even that good). But it usually takes me 7 or 8 shots to finish a par 5 (double/triple bogeys).

But like I said above, I really don't care. It's so fun for me, and compared to when I first started, I'm a lot better. If there's a group of people behind us, then I'll just take my friends' lies to speed things up.

So fun
