Re: Any Golfers?
Beaux,<br />My handicap varies from course to course as well
The course at which I'm a member, is very flat, no sand, but the fairways are thickly lined with 80' Cottonwoods and water comes into play on 12 of the 18 holes. Where it lacks, it more than makes up for it elsewhere! The course was carved out of the trees in the Missouri river flood plain, if that gives you any idea. Huge, perfect greens, plush fairways and 430.00/year is why I chose here. I putt with an old crusty "Nomad" putter. I keep the putter booty on it all the time so I don't spoil the look of what else is in the bag. I used a Scotty Cameron putter for a while, but it just didn't roll like the old Nomad that I've had for 20 years. I've played at the Dakota Dunes Country Club which is near here. It's a stop for the buy.com tour. My "passion" is to play Pebble Beach one day
<br /><br />ob,<br />Blades! I'm impressed! My handicap using blades would be significantly diferent, I'm sure. I plan to go with blades eventually... maybe after my first sub-par round.
I use Ping ISI-K for 3-SW, Ping ISI 2 iron, Cleveland AW and a Diamond Spin LW. The ISI-K's are more forgiving than well... this board
I use a Big Bertha Hawkeye 7 degree driver which has a sweet spot as big as a house... great for breathtaking oohs and ahhs when it's straight; many simpathies when it isn't(which is more often than I'd like to admit). I mainly use my 3W (Cally Steelhead) off the tee. 30 yards shorter than the big dog, without all the side effects.<br /><br />I live for the "emotional rollercoaster" that is GOLF. Golf is a funny sport. Any guy can slap on a captain's hat and grab the wheel of a boat and really look like he's the king of the sea... but I've yet to see anyone who doesn't look like a moron at some point or another on a golf course. Where else can you take one shot that gives you a chill, you twirl your club, smiling from ear to ear, pick up your tee while watching the ball's beautiful flight, perfect draw, 300 yards, splitting the fairway down the center; Strutting to your now, only 100 yard approach, like you just saved the planet from nuclear holocaust, you follow up by missing the spot you wished to hit on the ball by 1/2", blading it, sending a line drive over the green and nearly killing the people on the next tee box(true story,by the way - more than once!
).<br /><br />In a normal round of golf, I hit 40 shots that Tiger himself would love to hit... it the other 40-50 strokes it that keep me coming back for more
