Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.

Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.

I am ready to see some water balls!

Will do. My wife has a DSLR that I'll bring with me. I don't know what kind of camera policy they'll have (if any). I definitely know that I'm going to have to buy some new rain gear and practice my ****ing ass off this spring. I'm hoping we can go sometime in late May before I have to teach for the Summer term. Otherwise, I may have to wait until early August.

and one other of our choosing from a certain list.

That's nothing, I get to go to Tulsa in March.

Have fun, man. I was actually thinking of bumping this today - I'm contemplating new irons, and have narrowed the selection down to Mizuno JPX-800 Pros and Adams Pro Black CB2's.

Just got my new X22s Guess I will see if a club really can improve a crappy game. heh

You got a cool brother in law. Enjoy the trip.

Jerm · 01-23-2011, 01:21 PM

Damn you Hamas lol...jealous now.

Getting to play the Old Course would be worth it alone...Carnoustie is awesome too. Just don't go full van de Velde on 18 lol.

What are the other courses you can choose from? Something like Troon or Turnberry would be the icing on top.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 01-25-2011, 12:22 AM

Here are the courses:

St. Andrews Old Course
St. Andrews New or Jubilee Course
Carnoustie Championship Course
Prestwick Old
Nairn (I guess they held the 1999 Walker Cup there and will host the 2012 Curtis Cup)
Royal Dornoch (which is rated by Golf Digest as the #3 course outside of the US). Tom Watson said it was the best links course he's ever played.

I'm just stunned.

That is a sweet set of clubs Guru, at least you'll look good out on the course.

A friend of mine plays really good golf, low 90's. Hes cheap though, real cheap. He uses his dads old set of clubs from the 70's. I mean they look bad. But he does good out there. Imagine what he'd do with quality clubs like yours.

That is cool as hell man. Congrats!

Jerm · 01-25-2011, 07:28 AM

I've heard Dornoch is a gem...wow congrats.

That is an epic trip.

TIED5573 · 01-25-2011, 07:38 AM

That is an epic, way cool trip. Hit'em straight!

I just bought the Callaway Diablo Edge driver for $99 on ebay... $15 shipping. I loved it when I hit it a year ago but wasn't willing to spend the money when the price was sky high. I'll re-grip it with a Tacki-mac jumbo grip when it gets here. It's a 10.5 with a stiffy. Heh! Stiffy!

Braincase · 02-03-2011, 03:25 PM

My oldest daughter didn't make the volleyball team this past fall, but she has two years of junior golf under her belt, so I've talked her into taking a crack at the golf team this fall as a freshman. I'll get her some lessons with the local pro at LCC. I wasn't about to drop $500.00 bucks on a set of Pings for her, but I may have found the next best thing. Ordered her a set of Ping G-15 knockoffs from Gigagolf.com. Hell, you can get a complete iron set for $120.00 if you go with stock grips and the less expensive Tru-Temper steel shafts.

I switched to the Diablo this summer (I had a Rapture before) and gained a few yards, but more importantly gained some accuracy.
