Figured since every other forum has these...this one deserves one too.
Random golf chatter Should I buy this? / is this used X a good deal? Stupid/dumb questions that don't deserve their own thread. Random observations etc etc
I don't have a fancy OP or anything. But now that we are in 2024, and are back to calendar schedules instead of the reach-around schedule, its time for a new thread.
By request, I’m not just randomly starting (another) a brag thread.
First, my background in USGA events is brutal. I missed the US Junior by a hole once, that’s right, a hole. I was a few under through 16 and easily in when I hit a shot that came to rest about 2 feet short and right of a tiny little tree on 17 at Brookhaven CC in Dallas. I decided to completely commit to hitting the ball full with an 8 iron and not worry about the post
Drive for show, putt for dough. We have all heard it and while it might be true for a scratch to 20 handicap is it true on the PGA Tour? For starters, let me be clear you have to be world class at both ball striking and putting to play on the PGA Tour so this is a peer group amongst each other.
I took the new Putts Gained stat and the GIR stat and put FedEx cup rank and wins for each person. Not sure exactly how to word this to make sense
I thought this might be a good idea for a thread since non-PGA discussion tends to scatter itself about the forum every now and again. Rather than have a few random Web.com or Champions Tour posts mixed among the PGA thread(s), this can serve as a catch-all for news and discussion relating to tournaments that aren't run by the major professional tours.
As it pertains to current events, the first order of business will be tomorrow's semifina
I am in the process of going through some life changes with only strings tying me down being a 9 year old dog that I will not leave behind. I know this isn't the travel section but looking for suggestions for ideal locations
I was set on Costa Rica and just did 2 weeks there but golf is limited unless you want to live up on the NW side of the country. I have never been up there (near the resorts) but I have heard it's not as lush, tropical a
I've had a lot of people ask me about this & I've seen quite a few threads regarding practice & lowering their handicap, so I thought I'd post this in hopes that it will help someone.
Here's the story behind it, and the disclaimer. About 8 years ago, I had a student come to me who was a 36 hdcp - best round 110, ave round 120. His goal was to shoot par that year. I've seen the threads on here about doing this, and it is possible but it is
I have been playing golf for 20+ years. close to a 7-8 hcp with no formal training (no intentions of pursuing as professional). I know it is one of the toughest things to get to the professional level and then win at the professional level.
Debate at the poker table, during a conversation about chess.
Easier to take a winning golf professional and get him to GM status, or easier to take a GM and make him a winning golf professional. Time is
Any recommendations on where to play in Vegas? I'm in town for the weekend and would like to get a round in. I'm staying at Red Rock and will have a rental car. Ideally would like to keep the round under $200, but will take all recommendations.
Thanks guys...
Couple buddies and I are heading to Vegas from Mar 15-20 and we are looking to get a couple rounds of golf in, would like to go somewhere nice at least once and then maybe once to a m
I don't have my state am trip report ready yet, but figured I'd give you guys something to look forward too. I'd say my horse is looking good for the US Junior today....unless the one kid can shoot 61 this afternoon.
I just had my first golf lesson. I've been to the range three times. I now have a putter, pitching wedge, and sand wedge. What should I start working with next? A driver? 5 wood? 5 iron? But a pair of golf shoes? I have another lesson booked already and I'm enjoying practicing. Money's not super tight but I like to spend it wisely.
