B1, I have never attacked you. I might poke fun at some of the things you say, and I have called you out on the ES trades, but I don't take cheap shots at people. I give you sh*t on this thread because I know what I'm talking about. I was playing golf before I could read. Not because of family money, but because of my bud from kindergarten in parochial schools who has turned out to be a lifelong chum, had parents that owned a public course. It was our playground. The whole place. Range and all. Even banged up a few golf-carts.... those were the best. Never spent a penny. We would even go out and dive in the lakes for golf-balls and sell them 2 for $1 all day long. Sunup to sundown B1... all we did was play golf. As I said before, I was breaking 80 fairly consistently before I went to college. And that was no longer just on that course because as I got older I was recruited to caddy for a couple local club pro's and they let me play on their courses... for free. Two of the courses were LPGA event courses. Had my high school had a golf team, looking back.... , I probably could have gotten a scholarship somewhere. Possibly division 1, but div 2 for sure.. and I was too stupid and too big of a party'er to figure out that I could walk-on. I quit playing in my 20's pretty much because where I lived... it was no longer free. Picked it back up at 30 when the money came in. I've been around golf some B1. In a big way. And that said, note....I could never consistently break 75... in fact it was very rare. Less than 5 times maybe. And it wasn't for the lack of trying... oh did I try... all thru my 30's... hence the bad back... and hence the reason I won't play anymore. Life without pain is more important than golf. Surgery is hit and miss and if I'm not in pain... I'm going with that and I sure as hell ain't playin' golf. So if I call you out or offer tips, its because I know wtf I'm talking about. Ya know one hole will ruin an entire round; trust me. You've never talked about the sand on this thread. Play a real course and wind up in a deep bunker and see what happens. Anyway... I couldn't let that post of yours slide. I don't attack people. On the other threads, you have to admit... your epic "we're in a bear market" call from early last March that you maintained until a few weeks ago and has now flip flopped to "we're in a fresh new parabolic bull market" is comedy material. So whatever. I do want to go hit a $3200 iron though. I mean for real. I'll just hit a couple soft 6 irons. That was always my money club anyway. That and my putter. Which I still have btw... and I have never changed... from grade school. An H&B blade. Deadly wicked with that one.
Here ya go B1. You probably have a Titleist "Scotty Cameron Tour" putter I'm sure... http://tourputtergallery.com/scotty...ewport-t22-terylium-circle-t-w-sight-dot.html ...but this one here, the H&B PowerBilt blade, its what all the pro's used back in the day. Its the real "Billie Baroo". And I never missed.
Just FYI, I did play DI golf and I was a scratch golfer for a number of years. So yes, I too, know what I'm talking about. I don't take cheap shots at people, I take shots at people who show zero interest in having any sort of conversation and just make vanity posts. Anyway, last post. Have your fun with this guy.
Cut him some slack I think his cat OD’d, something about a syringe or something. Nothing a little retail therapy can’t help get him thru.
I have to agree. He makes a good point B1. Conversation does seem to be a forgotten art on your part, but whatever. Anyway... I did just read that thread you wrote regarding the loss of your pet. No words for that one. "Sorry" doesn't help I know... but I mean it fwiw. She must have been a good cat to hang out with you.
Much straighter and longer and a nice round of 83. Now we'll continue to work on the short game and the putter. Drives were constistently 106 MPH and above and regularly in the fairway, so I am good there now.
I'm new to golf. I've been playing it for a year or so, but not too often. But this was enough for me to fall in love with it. It is one of the most relaxing hobbies that I had and I want to do it more often because the more often we are relaxed, the higher our productivity is and the more we'll live. I believe that the first cause of people dying today is the lack of relaxation. And that's why I want to get deeper into it. So, I want to buy a golf club set, to cover all my needs. The ones that I saw on https://golfclubguru.net/best-golf-clubs/ seem decent, but are they good for real? Some help would be welcomed.
I'm not an expert pn club selection. I recommend that you get fitted for clubs by a golf pro. Welcome to the game!
