Ahh Golf, just around the corner (for me anyway)

[Budweiser]

Yes I know that alot of people here can golf year round, I live in MN and can pretty much only golf from April to October. But in another month I'll be swinging the clubs and getting ready to hit the greens with a case of beer and my clubs.

Ahh can't wait.

Ahh can't wait.

I'm with you. I'm not too great, but it's so enjoyable. I don't get to go too often because of the cost, but in the summer I'll go with my dad quite often.

So many people complain that it's so frustrating, but I always felt it was the opposite. What's better than walking (or riding) though perfectly manicured bright green grass. And the fresh smells of nature.

I actually spent last years spring break on a trip to Florida with my dad to golf. The best memory for me was at a course called Pelican Bay. I was pretty much hooking everything and generally not playing well at all the first 9 holes but was still enjoying myself. The 10th hole was a medium-long dogleg right par 5. I hit my drive just past the dogleg and was about 220ish away and actually in the fairway (doesn't happen often ). So I hit my 4 iron and it was right at it and rolled about four feet short. So I had a short little 4 feet putt for eagle. And my putt traveled about 2 feet LOL. I made the birdie putt though.

That's one thing I like about golf, no matter how many bad shots you hit, you always remember the one good one.

It is a great sport. I actually just started playing last year. For 9 holes I started out shooting a 65 or so, but by middle of the summer I was in the low 40's, best round was a 43. I lived right across from the course so it was pretty easy to go out everyday after work and rip out 9 holes quick.

I can't wait to play golf. It's warm enough here, but it's always wet in the winter. I shoot in the mid 80's now. I was down to the mid 70's a few years ago when I had time to practice.

[Budweiser]

I'm hoping it wont take long for me to get back into the low 40's. So who here has the longest drive? My average when using my driver is about 310yards. What you other people have? I'm BPP is about 370 or so.

I figured Russia would be covered with snow right now . But seriously, those are good scores. I've been playing for a few years, not much but still, and I still only shoot mid 90's on a good day.

[mistermuscles]

I can't wait until I can go out to the golf course again. I barely played at all last summer, so I have to make up for it this summer!

[Budweiser]

No disrespect to you golfers.....but I live on the golf course and for the life of me see no appeal to it whatsoever

You know I actually thought that way until a buddy of mine took me out and we got drunk (off of budweiser) and played golf ****ty. It was so fun to get on the cart, get drunk and hit a ball.

[Budweiser]

I have whipped around in the golfcart--that was fun--especially on the hilly paths--but the serious golfers don't like it.....some don't care....but then some want extreme silence so their concentration isn't broken....I guess its not my cup of tea. Sooooo many people love it though!I watch outta my backyard! One thing thats funny is all the golfers in my backyard looking for their balls.....hehe

Yeah I don't take it to seriously maybe play 4-5 tourneys a year and they are all best shot type with alot of alcohol.

[mistermuscles]

Yeah. I hear you. I can't stand those golfers who take it so seriously.

At my course that I go to, there is this group of three guys that go every Saturday, and they are horrible, but they are so serious about it. Like, they will take 5-6 minutes to "read the greens" before they actually put, only to miss the hole by like 10 feet.

I took a few kids out there to teach them how to golf, and they were all pissed about it, because we were too slow for them.

I just want to punch those kinds of people out. AND the people that freak if you don't take the game 100% serious and are very quiet and everything. I mean, It's not the fucking PGA Championship, I'm just going out there to hit a few balls and have a good time....

[Budweiser]

LOl--I have seen guys get so made they throw their golf clubs across the greens!Geeze--just a game!

I have to admit I have thrown a club or two before

[Budweiser]

What would you do if a girl started laughing like crazy.......opps...thats what I do

Slam down a cold budweiser, take off my shirt and make her go oooo.

[Budweiser]

HEHE--that would do it!

Yea, I thought so.

[mistermuscles]

Haha, I remember one time I was at a driving range, and was trying to hit my ball over the fence. So I aimed at the fence and swung. Well, the driving range's booths were arranged in a very small curved line, like this "(". Anyways, when I swung, the ball went perfectly horizontal and smoked a chick right in the leg in another booth.

Alright so there are some golf fans on this forum

Can't wait to start playing regularly again when spring/summer time hits. Tourney time baby!!

[Budweiser]

Ok it is 53 degrees right now small breeze, man this is killing me! I need to get out there and hit something with my clubs. Maybe the local driving ranges are open.

[Hartski]

I'm going to get a couple drivers this Spring (One righty and one Lefty) and start hitting the driving range to whack the **** out of a few thousand golf balls. I think it'll be a good stress reliever, and I don't have to worry about actually getting the ball in a hole.

I'm suppose to be playing tommorrow. It's gonna be 75 and sunny

What brand of drivers you gonna get Hartski??

[Hartski]

What brand of drivers you gonna get Hartski??

Cheapest ones I can find at Wal Mart. Like I said, It's not for actually playing golf, just some stress relief at the range.

Yea you're gonna need some stress relief once college football starts back up b/c of the Hawkeyes getting pounded every weekend

Oh, I think the Hawks will do fine this year. We have lots of terriffic starters returning, and we have alot of talented guys coming in. A Big Ten Championship wouldn't be too far fetched.

[Budweiser]

Alright that does it! I'm heading out to the driving range in an hour supposed to get up to 60 today.

It was close to 70 here in Pa today. I got in 18 holes. Shot a 90 which is pretty good for me. I was killing the drives though. It just took me like 3 wedge shots to make it to the green from 100 yards out . Still a good time.

played HS golf..junior club champuion...etc

when I got to college and 20 yrs old, my colleg didnt have a golf team, and i was too old for teen torunaments, so switched to money events, aka: scrambles and outings

last few years besides that done long drive

the last contest I did I had a bad day with a new club, longest was ~325 that day

as far as longest on the course, not counting odd cart-path bounces, cutting doglegs, etc etc...was about 360/365ish

That's awesome man. I can't get anything close to that at all.

[Budweiser]

Oh **** you gotta love MN weather it was 60 sunny and beautiful out on Saturday and now today it is 30, cold, snowing, windy and icy out took me just over an hour and a half to get to work today

[Hartski]

Iowa weather is about as bad. Saturday was 73 degrees, had bad thunderstorms and hail Saturday night and off and on all day Sunday, and today the high was 36 and it's windy as Hell, with rain turning to snow tonight.
