Title: Golf
Post by: Luke on April 29, 2007, 06:25:31 PM: So I used to be waaaay into golf. Played almost every week with Jar O Pickles.

Then I moved to Michigan, lost my golfing buddy, and just never really played.

Yesterday we went golfing for the first time in a couple years. We decided to play again cause...

1 - We missed it.

and

2 - We need some frickin\' exercise.

Long story short. I\'m hooked again. Gonna go out this week and replace my POS set with a some new clubs, and I can\'t wait to go again.

Anyone else here play?

Any good?

I suck really, really hard right now, but I haven\'t played in a few years and I\'m really looking to get some practice in and get better.

Not bad, I used to play once a week, but I work M-F now and it\'s a pain in the ass to get out on the weekend and play unless you have a playing partner. I shoot in the low 90\'s but I love to go out and play. I have a set of titleist irons 5-PW and my driver 3W 5W and hybrid 3 and 4 irons are all Taylor Made. Buying used is probably the best way to go. I think if the weather stays alright I\'m playing this weekend.

Post by: Luke on May 01, 2007, 07:07:53 PM: Even used Calloway was out of my price range.

Post by: mjps21983 on May 02, 2007, 06:27:01 PM: Yea, used golf clubs are a lot like buying used video games from stores, still to pricey :) I bought my clubs on eBay for 200 dollars the irons that is the rest I\'ve either received as gifts or purchased used. My used putter was only 40 bucks much cheaper than buying it new for 80 bucks.

LOL. That reminds me of Family Guy.

Cleveland: I must say, I do feel a strange satisfation watchin\' the black ball topple all those self-righteous white pins.
Joe: Can\'t blame \'em for being self-righteous, the black ball\'s in their neighborhood uninvited.
Cleveland: The black ball\'s done nothing wrong.
Joe: If the black ball\'s innocent it has nothing to fear.
