evening lads.just wondering if any of you lads play golf,im hooked on it big time.last week for instance i played 6 half rounds in 7 days.my best score so far is 83,just bought some new irons lynx,think fred couples designed these awsome they are.i started at the age of 7-8 till i was 17 then golf took the backseat when i started chasing skirt

just started again about a year ago.

83 for a half round? Put the guitar away, you need to practice your swing more

hahaha no rich.83 is for the full 18 holes,still not great but its not to bad,6 half rounds in a week would have been 7 but got halfway round course and it started raining.

I wish I could play that much, I'd start to get in a good groove. Played like crap yesterday [course with very tight fairways and unforgiving rough] and when you fly the fairway with your first ball straight into the woods, 3 off the T to start a round just sucks. Last 3 rounds before that was a 91, 89, and 85, 95 yesterday. I did shoot a 78 last year, and I'm trying to get back to it, but once a week is about all I can manage these days [although I try to get 2 in as much as possible, there's been too much RAIN here lately.

How did you play 6 days in rainy UK?!

the weathers been pretty good here rich last few weeks,if the sun is shining mr vbk is golfing.my hadicap is 22,but im better than 22 sugests.i play in a competition every tuesday (stableford) would have been 2nd yesterday if it wasnt for a par3 nightmare hole,i hit my tee shot over the fence so that hole was scratched,finished with 38 points winner had 41.hey you must be pretty decent if you can shoot 78 rich.

It was a par 70, 10 pars, 8 bogs. Anybody can have a magical day when you hit all your clubs just good enough, and even on that day you think about a few terrible shots that cost you. I missed an 18" putt for 77

Last year was the first time I broke 80. My goal this year is play in the 80's as much as the 90's, and crack 80 again at least once. It's our 5th year [I think} so we're just starting to get to the finer points of the game, like, playing smart

I play once or twice a year. Used to play more often. I scored a hole in one last time I played. First time for that and probably last.

Rich · #9 06-17-2009, 07:41 PM

Damn! My worst fear, I'll finally get an ACE, on a day I shoot a 117, so the card is embarrasing to show

**moebius** · #10 06-17-2009, 08:43 PM

Pretty much the case. Girlfriend at the time beat me on every other hole.

Rich · #11 06-17-2009, 08:47 PM

Pffft, Ladies Tee's. They might as well chip and putt from the edge of the green!!

I play. Been out on 2 nine-holes, 2 driving ranges and 1 mini putt this week. We played best ball (with 4 guys) the last time I was out and got par for the course, which is 37. Never been on a 18 hole. None around here, that I know about.

michblanch · #13 06-17-2009, 11:47 PM

I remember the first time I played golf, I broke both of my wrists.

I fell off of a ballwasher.

rob777vdy · #14 06-18-2009, 03:44 AM

i nearly had a hole in one last week 186 yards par3,7 iron cracked right at the pin,it rolled right up to the pin and lipped out,was rather sick. a freind of mine is a pro and hes never had a hole in 1,need a lot of luck really.

rob777vdy · #15 06-30-2009, 04:04 PM

played in a competion today (stableford) i had 41 points in 2nd place on the leader board as i left the club.the old nerves krept in as i played the back 9 as i knew my scorecard was looking tasty,i missed a couple of 1 foot putts gggrrrr.think my handicap will be getting a pull after this round not bothered though as my goal is to be single figure handicap.
