Any bass fishing persons out there? That is my other pastime besides golf. I fish those really clear lakes in desert southwest, and have quite a bit of info I have developed over the past bunch of years. BTW I saw a thread on Jeeps. My hauling vehicle is a 1978 FJ-40 Toyota Landcruiser. It gets...
I golfed with a "Montana Rancher" visiting Vegas today. He comes to Vegas twice a year he said, because he likes to golf here, and play black jack. Plus he said he, and his wife were looking for some warmer weather. The guy shot a legit 62, bumpy greens and all. 9 birdies, and 9 pars. It was...

MARANA, Ariz. – Dustin Johnson had to call for a ruling on consecutive shots around the fifth green in the final round at...
Are you more accurate when at the driving range when you are aiming at the guy in the moving caged cart picking up balls? Or, on the course trying to hit a green from 150?
Easy question folks. How far would you travel for a golf get together with forum friends. What's your mileage limit? Also, how much would you be willing to pay for green fees? Motel rooms? Prizes? :question:
For me it's more of a timing thing. If I have the time, I can make it happen. Golf...
I went to the golf fest today. I was able to take a few swings with some of the new drivers I have read about on this forum. Physically I was limited to how I swung the clubs, but they all seem to be able to get the job done. TaylorMade by far was the busiest of the group. (Cleveland, Titleist...
I find watching match play much less boring than stroke play. They are showing way more golf shots by the various competitors. The programming just seems to move a long a little quicker. The one on one, every hole is important, concept is what I like a bout it. No room for mistakes. I still have...
I watched a GC segment this evening and of course the topics got around to when/where TW should make his return. But before he made his return he needed to sit before some golf journalists, and answer some questions about his personal ordeal. I assumed they meant Golf Channel (GC) journalists. I...
My sophomore Grand Son made his varsity HS golf team. At 6'5" and 230lbs he has the long game. Very long. Hopefully his coach can teach him some short game feel around the greens. He used my Ironwoods to try out with. The set contains 12 irons, putter, and a 10.5 driver. He borrowed the set a...
"Multiple reports say Tiger Woods will end his 'indefinite' leave from the PGA Tour and return to action at the Accenture Match Play Championship in two weeks in Tucson, Ariz."
So reports Mick Elliott a writer for Golf Fan House on AOL. He also goes on to say these reports are not...
President Obama made a speech some where today where he was telling folks that they had to tighten up their belts, and not buy things they could not afford. Apparently one of the things Americans can't afford are gambling trips to Vegas. So, at the President's request, please cancel any trips...
What might be some of the golf stores around the Anaheim CA area.? Say with in 10-15 miles of Disneyland. One those stores that has every conceivable golf item ever made. A really crowded store is what I am looking for. A "golf junky's" junk yard might be a better description. I sort remember...
Kudos to Tommy Watson. Good for him. :clapp:
Freddy Couples: "I was 21 under par and didn't win a tournament," that hasn't happened to me too many times."
Two great players:banana:
So I am done with the 4 days of golf last night, and decided I need to go to my car to retrieve a cell phone. It was raining pretty good, and the parking lot was running water wet. A youngster driving too fast starts sliding out out of control towards me, I go to get out of his way, step up on a...
I am not much of a stats kind of guy. I keep score, and about the only other stat I might keep is what my first putts are (bogey, par, birdie, what ever) for, on each green. That said today I golfed with a guy today who had made his own score card. I have seen a lot custom score cards, but this...
I just read another golf claim made by a component manufacturer that their new grip, because it is lighter, will increase distance, and accuracy.
Wouldn't it be nice if the USGA had a division that anything golf related, with a particular claim of greatness attached to it, had to be tested...
I found myself in a difficult situation yesterday. Early this week, I golf at a course "Desert Rose" where the greens are absolutely terrible. Little sprouts of grass causing a bumpy surface, and other areas that appear to be infected with fungus. What ever is wrong the putting surface is next...
