Yeah, I'll make the drive down there if we can set something up. Doesn't bother me. Just need to figure out a time where we can all go.Terry_Tate;1195237 wrote:Golfnow is awesome. I see those courses on there but they're all about 40 minutes from me so not worth the drive when there are half a dozen courses that are 15-20 minutes away from my house. We'll have to set something up to get out soon.

All day I only hit one really bad shot.....never playing, I was awful from 100-175 all day, driving and chipping was like I never stopped playing......but only made a 6 footer and an 8 footer putting. My biggest brag....I had no 6's and nothing but pars and bogeys all 18 holes.

I was a baseball player....as such...I never learned a decent swing. My swing better resembles a slap shop from the blue line. Nevertheless, at one time I was a 9 handicap and shot a few 76's. Now, I need to live to be 90 in order to shoot my age.
But man....great golf was better than sex....at least it lasted longer. I had 2 rounds whereby I had had 5 birdies. Tweet, tweet.

Me and my dad always run pools for the majors. Thought I would open it up and see if anybody on the OC wanted to get in. $20 entry fee. We had 28 for the Master's. 1st place paid around 300 and we paid 4 spots.
PM me with your email address if you are interested. I can give you all the details and we can figure out a way to square up the money.

Does anyone know if there is a place in Columbus that has the practice bays set up with the computers where you can test different clubs?

roses run is a good challenge. its a long course (especially from the tips) but its not relatively tight (except for 12). always in good condition. haven't played boulder creek but i have heard it is one of the nicest in the areabases_loaded;1195288 wrote:Were playing Manakiki on Saturday for my bach party,
Looking for a place to play Friday. Im between Boulder Creek($55) and Roses Run($30) anyone played those two courses? Other suggestions for a course close to I-76?
if you look on golfnow tomorrow night, you should be able to get a tee time for a foursome at roses run for 17 at 1 pm on friday (you probably have more than a foursome however).

Granted it was back in 09-10 but I used to play both Boulder Creek and Roses Run frequently. I preferred Boulder Creek if it was in good shape. The last few times I went there the course was looking rough. But it's challenging and the 17th "island" green par 3 was always a fun one.
Roses Run was nice and probably kept up better but I'd still go Boulder Creek.

Boulder didn't have consecutive tee times at the time needed, so we're playing Roses.
Saturday we have four groups, mostly below average golfers, was thinking of scramble, shamble, and best ball per 6 holes... Any other suggestions, maybe to replace best ball?

Anyone use a TaylorMade Superfast 2.0 Driver. I hit it a the simulator down at the beach and liked it much more than any of the Callaway, Ping, or Adams drivers. They're going for about $170 now, and I'm seriously thinking about pick one up.

Agree, was wondering if I was missing out on another form of scramble format to incorporate. Do I have these right?TBone14;1195631 wrote:9 and 9 scramble/shamble is more fun for ****ty golfers.
Scramble - everyone plays a ball per shot from the best selected shot
Shamble - Everyone plays there own ball after selecting best tee ball, either best ball or two ball from there?

We pretty much always play scramble with a big group. Also, everyone keeps count of how much beer they drink, then the team that has drank the most, gets to subtract the difference from their score.bases_loaded;1195643 wrote:Agree, was wondering if I was missing out on another form of scramble format to incorporate.

Looks like Phil had to retee on the first hole. Must be still mentally fatigued.

There will only be about 20-30 provisionals hit today. It is pretty rare at the Open :/wildcats20;1199557 wrote:But he's so amped to play with Tiger.

I'll hold judgement on what that does to you mentally until I'm playing for 1.5 million and infront of a few thousand in the gallery.

Well considering 99% of people can't stand over a ball without getting nervous with 2 people watching them.. I'd say you're wrong.Laley23;1199585 wrote:It doesnt do shit. All the professionals out there snapping pictures, and he got upset about a cell phone.
And considering they didn't let you even bring cellphones onto a course til recently.. I'd say you're wrong.
And considering every pro...including Tiger, yells at people for taking pictures during a swing.. I'd say you're wrong.

The difference is most professionals won't snap a picture until after the ball is struck.. your novices don't share the same courtesy.
