I could never get into golf seriously. It's occasionally fun when your drinking beers and not keeping score in a bachelor party atmosphere but every time I'd try to play seriously I kept thinking - ya know, I could be fly fishing.

:D

Tough frustrating game though, kudos for trying to master.

Depends entirely on where you live. Go by word of mouth. A lot of pros are pretty dumb though. They offer cookie cutter advice. There are some good ones out there, but you'll have to do your due diligence.

Yeah, that's the rub. I'm north of the river, and thought about looking into Shoal Creek. I guess I was fishing to see if anyone has actually taken lessons up here.

My PIL's run a golf tour for Jr.s out of KC.

I could ask them about good pros in the Northland, at places like Clay Crest, Hodge, Smithville, Liberty Hills, etc.. When I lived in KC, I used to play at Hodge and Swope. Shoal Creek was too expensive relative to the quality of the course for me.


I'll get back to you on that.

I just looked at the description of it again because I swore it said it only weighed 4.5 lbs.....and there is no weight listed - which more than likely means it weighs more than I want to carry for 9-18 holes.

I have a cart bag Callaway 10.5, then a Titleist stand bag for walking, the walking bag is hardly ever used.

smittysbar 02-27-2009 12:56 PM

ogio makes some cool bags as well, if you like all the club separators

I'm debating on just doing a cart bag because 95% of the time I ride.

Appreciate that.

Shoal is great aesthetically, but you're ****ed if you don't hit absolutley straight.

I had a buddy lose a golf cart at Swope down one of those hills while he was playing grab ass with the beer girl (forgot the brake). Took him awhile to pull it out of the woods, heh.

PS....I've got Callaway Fusion.....Driver through PW. Love them.

I like <a href="http://www.ogio.com/products.php?category=23">Ogio</a> bags...

Jesus.

At what point will people realize that cart girls are just like strippers or bar tenders. You aren't going home with them.

Have you ever played at Swope?
