After a few years of discussion and procrastination, we've got a foursome headed to the Kissimmee / Orlando area this February for a week of golf. I know this is perilously close to peak time, but it's the time we could make work. We'll be staying at Orange Lake Resort East Village, and the...

I am probably the worst person to emulate in these matters. My typical pre-shot thought goes along the lines of "Don't screw this up". That said, I actually do well in our CC (2nd Division, but still...) following 2 thoughts. 1) Good enough is good enough. In the fairway and playable. On...

That was why I played blades....forever. Ball pickup and also helps to retrieve the flagstick. The only real flaw with the Method Concept is that I can't use it for that. But I'll take more putts made and a touch more bending/squatting. 10 years ago, no way...but I made more putts then.

It's golf, it's petroleum, it's Texas. There's a few folks fighting for their cards or exemptions, and a bunch who have other things to do. Dates March 24 - March 30, 2014 Title Sponsor Valero Energy Corporation Player Field 144 Players Format 72 Hole Stroke Play Purse $6.2 Million...

71 years old. Master of the Hammond. When rockers could be musicians and nobody sneered. Yeah, it dates me. Pre-dates me, to be honest, but Machine Head and Made in Japan were favorites very early on for me. Deep Purple played the local casino here some months ago, and I didn't get to attend...

I know it's older stuff, and I've tried a few searches with nothing coming up, but has anyone hit /played the Mizuno MP-600 driver? There's one available locally with what I think is the stock Fijikura stiff shaft, and I'm intrigued by the Fast Track weight system this uses. I'm just a bit...

Just got an email from GolfTown Leaderboard - 1500 RBZ 5-irons available. I think they want you to be signed up with GolfTown, but didn't see anywhere they checked...still, wouldn't take 2 mins to do. http://www.golftown.com/TaylorMadeRBZ5IronContest.aspx?lang=en

Heard this on the news this morning. A professor at the local University has come up with the iPerfectPutt app (sadly, for iPhone / iPod with accelerometer only). He's got a site for it - http://www.iperfectputt.com/ and there's a video demo here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypCLD4rOvyU I...

Caught the concern in the Fantasy pool thread, so I figured I'd best start to post a bit. I'm one of the 0 post folk...in my defense, I think it just said "use your forum name" and I had one, so... Late 40's, from Moncton NB Canada. Started playing young, stopped, started, blew out a knee and...
