I've heard good things about thag area. Gonna have to make a trip down there. We're going to Bandon this summer, so pumped for that.

Will be starting up again soon. I'm sure I still suck, but I'm sure I'll keep throwing money into the game like a boat owner throws money in a lake..

Btw, I've got a scotty cameron I'd like to sell, will take best offer for it.

http://acushnet.scene7.com/is/image/...id=363&hei=284

It's this model. Got the original headcover.

My stroke doesn't fit a gooseneck putter.

FWIW, a lot of places are offering 150% of trade value now. With the way Cameron's hold their prices, you may want to go that route instead of paying eBay/PP fees.

I went away from the offset style as well.

Im not to worried about making anything on it, just seeing if anyone was interested although I hadn't thought of trading it in. Interesting

How much do you want for it?

That was my first Scotty. Nice flatstick.

Wouldn't mind having it for a backup if the price was right.

How much you give for it?o:-)

Tree fiddy?

I'd love to get 100 bucks for it I suppose

If you were a rand-o, I'd only buy it to flip it, not game it. As an English major, I can't, in good conscience, play anything made by someone whose entire career is based upon plagiarizing the work of other, superior manufacturers.

That's probably a low price, IMO, but it depends on condition.

Not my style either. However I am disappointed that I got no feed back on the courses I ask about. None of you guys have played them? Iron Horse or Deer Creek?

Agreed.

If it's in decent shape, you could probably get $150+ for it on Ebay.

Nope. Only courses I've played in Kansas are Sycamore Ridge, Firekeeper and Colbert Hills.

Yeah, but I'd be reticent to sell anything on eBay anymore. The entire landscape is ridiculously slanted towards buyers, to the point where unscrupulous assholes can routinely rip sellers off through bullshit reports.

Top that off with their fees being 12% and PP being 3%, and he may get more for it, but he also runs a significantly higher risk of getting rat-****ed compared to selling on golfwrx or trading it in at a local golf shop, provided they have trade bonuses.

Iron horse is top notch in lenexa, pretty decently tough from the tips, small humpy greens. Pretty fun course. Deer creek is a little more meh, but it's not bad.

Deer creek is alot like river cut imo

I helped my in-laws run a few junior tournaments out there. That course is a beast.

If anyone wants it here though, I'll give them first dibs, if not. I'm gonna try and trade it in for a wedge or something

The local range I go to had a set of ISI Nickels for $199. I seriously considered buying them and then getting vibratory tumbler at Harbor Freight to refurbish them and flip them for a profit. In the end, I decided against it.

They felt like absolute shit compared to my + no +, though.

Trading it might be his best option, but only if he's in need of new equipment. Some places will give you a gift card, others will only give you credit towards new equipment purchased that day.

WRX is turning into a hot mess. People wanting something for nothing. I had a Ping G25 driver I was looking to ditch - it was flawless, and I posted an ad selling it for $120.

Two days later, I hadn't gotten a single bite - so I put it on Ebay and got $180 for it.

With all that said, I completely agree with your assessment of Ebay. That driver was probably the last item I sell there, precisely for the reasons you listed.

Who here goes 54-58 in their wedges? I've considered doing it, pulling out the 52, 56, and 60, but if I did I'd probably add a 2 wood and a 4 wood in place of the 3 wood.

I wish my Exotics was about 10% easier to hit off the deck.

Hardest course I've ever played. IIRC, the slope rating from the middle tees is still in the 140's.

The front nine isn't all that difficult, but then you get to the back nine and get prison raped.

I go 54 60, but my 54 is bent to a 55.

I've considered going 58 for a while though

One of the kids out there shot 68 from the racks on the second day. I was impressed.

I've never played it, but I'm sure it would ****stomp me.

I've played River Cut several times being from Springfield. It's a good course but probably a little over rated.

I go 50-54-58.

Which TEE model do you have? I have a XCG6, and the only time I've struggled off the deck with it were on the insanely tight bermuda lies we had this week in Alabama.

The only 3-wood I've hit more consistently was the old TaylorMade V-Steel.

Jesus.

I shot 88 as a 15 index there from the middle tees once and felt like I won the US Open.

XCG-4. I picked up an XCG-7 4-wood last year, but it was way too light in the head. Felt like the SW was C-2 or something.

It's ok from the zoysia fairways where I would normally play, but that's a shot I need two times a round, max. I certainly don't hit it as well from a tight lie as I do my old i15.

So just for jealousy, you guys should know I'll be teeing it up at Southern Hills this summer for a bachelor party. Be upset.

First time in my life that I have 3 wedges in my bag. Not sure what to do exactly. Using an old Equalizer seems much easier. Got my 45 with the set and then I have a 52 and then a 56 SW.

Had a chance to play there a few years ago and one of the guys didn't want to pay the $240 or whatever they were asking as a guest fee - so the rest of us backed down and passed on the opportunity.

Still smarting a bit over that one...

Best course I'll play this year will be Dalhousie.

You're talking to a dude that got to tag along with his brother in law to Carnoustie, Turnberry, and Kingsbarns for free, bruh. I think I'll live :).

Both of you can suck on Bob Stoops' Bag O' Dicks.

:D

Dalhousie is a jewel man, you'll enjoy thaT.

Did we ever get the scores from that epic adventure? I never had a desire for world travel but I'd love doing that. You are a lucky a bastard!

That's what I hear.

We've got the Scotland trip on the books for 2018 So pretty pumped about that.

although the price, not so much

I've walked it caddying for a buddy in state events a few times. It's going to chew me up, I don't have the length for it.

Should get a chance or two to play Hallbrook this summer - hardest Fazio design out there. Supposedly makes all the lists for hardest courses in America.

I've got a buddy that's a member at dalhousie who played some small tour stuff and is a stick, watched him throw up a 66 from the back there.

Impressive

I can tell you that I didn't keep score at Turnberry. We were playing in 50-60 mph winds. My BIL played off a 1.4 at the time and I don't think he broke 100. I will never play a course that hard again. Those conditions were inhuman. I literally thought I was going to die on 7 or 8.

I shot a 93 at the Jubilee course at St. Andrews, which was absolutely terrible, because I was only +3 through 8.

Carnoustie beat us the **** up. I had a lot of good numbers and a lot of big numbers.

Kingsbarns was beautiful, but I didn't string together several holes of solid golf like I did at Carnoustie.

We should have a cp golf outing sometime

That's a trip of a lifetime. Traveling and playing golf is hard. 93 was probably pretty good. What season was it?

Sounds fun.

Phil, if you'd ever like to meet up and play in springfield hot me up.

Went to the range for the first time in months today with the kid.

I've been battling a slice for awhile. Went with a strong grip today and finally got rid of it for the most part. I couldn't believe the difference.

We need to do it. On another note I have a dog that looks just like the one in your Avatar. Fonzie or as I call him The Fonz!

I play at Deer Lake which makes most of my golf excursions an upgrade.

Bella, the dog in my sig, is a shorkie (shitzu Yorke mix) and she's a pistol.

We joined out at Highland last summer as junior.members. I'd love to have you out sometime.

We had state golf at deer lake my freshman and sophomore year. It's a fun course.

I've played Highland Springs a few times and I like it a lot.

Almost a riddle. I grew across the street from Horton Smith and then I was fortunate enough to play Hickory for my formative years and now I'm a Deer Laker. $42.00 a month after taxes. If you decide to join give them my name.

Anyone gonna try and play today?

No it's to cold for me. I'm planning on going to the course and hitting some balls tomorrow though and then I'm going to try and play and practice as many days as I can this coming week. Mid April I'm going to see an old friend in Nashville and We're going to play The General's Retreat @ Hermitage. Website says it's the best course in Nashville. We're going to play somewhere else too but I never got the name of the course straight. Fairways won't be in I'm sure but it's about seeing my old buddy. Guys lost his 17 year old son a few years back and then his wife last year. He's had a pretty rough go so I figured I go see him to brighten his day.

Bout had myself talked into going to the course then I checked the temp. 39 feels like 29. Nope.

Yeah i walked outside to change the car seats but decided golf can wait. It's chilly out

I had it wrong. Again. We play the Presidents Reserve @ Hermitage and then the other course is Gaylord Springs. I don't know Nashville but I think these are probably great places.

Goddammit.

Had my first round in the 70's in my sights. 1-over through 7 holes.

Then proceeded to take four doubles and a triple for a crowd pleasing 85.

Bleh.

I'd be happy with an honest 85! Just sayin....

O & Phil, would like to join in if you're gonna play in the Berg sometime. I used to play up there a lot in my younger years. (made Payne Stewart pick golf over football, after I KO'd him in a game in 74) You all remember Silers Shady Acres out on south National? Now a sub-division, LOVED to play out there. Played @ Horton, Deer Lake, Grandview (ie Stewart) Twin Oaks, Hidden Valley is a blast!!! Think I broke 275 once, of course 13 of that was clubs!!!

Look What I did today!! 135 Yard PW...Hole In One

I could hit driver from that distance these days and still come up short!

Good job man....

I was jumping the fence at Horton in 1974 when I was a wee lad of 13.

Holy Christ...

Apparently, the only prerequisite for playing Women's Division III golf is to have a pulse.

Here are the scores from a tournament played outside Philly. Make sure to scroll ALL the way down.

Meh, no biggie on the golf. In 7 years she'll be breast-feeding a youngin anyway.

Not even gonna point out the idea that the majority of women golfers are fur traders.....that would be politically incorrect

Wow, with title 9 in play, perhaps some men have an opportunity. For that matter, if you're not opposed to wearing a kilt and having a name like Stack, you could have ur college paid for.

If they're not shaving the fur, it's just as well...

Ehhh bull.

Most golf programs at that level are club sports and aren't likely given money for scholarships

I kinda assumed that, but how do you in good conscious put a girl out there who can't break 100 in NINE holes?

I'd pay money to see how she carded a 60 on one hole. I can't imagine being in the groups behind her.

So you would have walked away with that trophy?

Would have came in 4th.

LMAO

When I played in college we had to help with some junior tournaments, instruction, keeping score etc.

I've seen some 120s and above, it's brutal

I got beat by a girl in a match last year. She teed off ahead of me and she can move it pretty good so unless I played halfway decent I was going to have my hands full. I didn't play decent and she kicked my ass.

I'm trying to figure how she had enough golf balls to finish the round.

I highly doubt she carded over 200 strokes without a bunch of penalties/lost balls.

Srsly???? If you're going 200 on the card, it's not like you hit it very far!

Haven't got to get out like I planned but I hit about 100 balls before the storms hit. Wasn't that quality but I got in the reps. It was a positive. Which goes to one of my most important points about practice. Don't ever let practice make you worse. If it didn't go well don't let that get to you and make your game worse. If you put in the work that's the positive and then in the end "we talking about practice"!

She had a few somewhat normal scores on the front nine. She has to be able to hit the ball somewhat decent to score double/triple bogey, or even quad.

I was thinking the hole she took a 60 on might have involved a forced carry over water or something.

I suspect she figured out how to lay-up around the 10th wet ball. It took me a LONG time to learn to lay-up.

Now the hybrids are going to be me a confidence my swing can't back up...

I'm going to go out on a limb and say of those players were recruited as beginners. They probably couldn't field a full team if they didn't do that.

The new irons seem to be working out with what I wanted. The MP-15s with the KBS C-taper shaft hit it farther by at least a club and maybe more. I'm not sure about forgiveness but they are long when hit well.

I recently switched to C-Tapers from X100's softstepped.

Very pleased.

Some years ago I hit next to this smoking hot chick who was hitting the ball better than anyone I've ever seen (not including actual pros). I asked her if she was a college player and she said she was in town for a pro event. She was incredible.
