The only thng i love more than my reef is my golf game the past 2 years. I have been playing for about 8-9 years now and now i can finally hit decent shots. The golf channel, "Playing Lessons from the Pros", has been my teacher and I tell you what it has helped my game tremendously. I am now shooting low to mid 40's and couldnt be happier to finally see myself getting better. I think at this pace I have a chance to make the Senior Tour in about 20 years haha. Marvin if your ever looking for someone to golf with around Flint- Grand Blanc area let me know. Ohh ya my girlfriend works at one of the nicer courses in Grand Blanc so free golf all summer. :bigsmile:

sweet man... might take you up on this sometime... right now though, I need to work on my swing... A LOT!!! LoLz... I'll try to hit balls in the range behind our office at least 3-4x/week and try to hit up the course once/week... hopefully, that'll help... oh yeah, my dad has a pro golf instructor that sometimes helps us with our swing... :wink:

I used to play a lot and loved it. I finally broke 100! I stopped because I found I was spending a little too much time and money on "the 19th Hole":)

i play about 2-3 times a month. not alot but enough to keep me happy. for the amount i play i'm considered average. high 80.s is about the norm. to get good at this game you have to play ALOT. several times a week IMO. i find it very easy to lose my grove and i have to get it back every time i play which takes the first 3 or four holes.
being in florida we have not had a single month this year that we did not play atleast twice :)

Ohhh Hell yes! I usually get to play at least once a month, here in Colorado Springs but this winter has been real cold and windy. I last played the week after Xmas, down in Huntsville, Al and that was 47 and windy. Sooooooooo I am going out Friday!!!! Get to break in my Sono Caddie too!

went to an impromptu 9 holes yesterday... my dad's request for his b-day... didn't have my clubs or shoes so I had to use old stuff sitting at my parent's basement... LoLz... had (2) Pars, (1) Double Bogey, the rest Bogey... btw, these courses are not considered hard by any means... LoLz... I'm starting to get a little bit more comfortable hitting the ball on the course... hopefully, in another month or two, I'll get better with the short game and putting... :)
good stuff guys... lemme know how you guys do when you go out on the course... :wink:

lol maybe for you. i ride the cart and drink as much as possible. lol no way i burn more calories then i take in during a round of golf haha
haha yeah, you have to walk obv. My local course has a screaming deal; $50 a month for unlimited golf, day or night, weekday or weekend, so I play quite a bit. Some days I walk up to 45 holes, it's pretty good exercise that's for sure.
Yesterday I played one of the, if not the hardest course in CA; The Ranch Golf Club in San Jose. This course is so insane it's not even "real" golf lol, it was more like video game, cartoon golf, being how hard it was. My Friend is +1 handicap and I bet him green fees he would not break 85 from the tips, something you would assume to be a piece of cake for a better than scratch golfer....He ended up shooting an 87 with 2 quads haha, and a free round for me.

I shoot in the 100's, I've shot under 100 once but I play about 2 to 3 times a month too.
Regardless of the fact that I completely suck I still enjoy playing.
I'm much better at Tennis, Baseball.

I have played since I was 3 years old! If I had one bit of advice to share don't by a full set of clubs that costs more than $200. The clubs don't make you a better golfer the beer before each hole will! I can make it to the hole in two on a 600 yard par 5 but I will 4 put everytime. Go figure!
