  1. To be or not the be (a memeber)

    What is the point of being a member somewhere? I mean it would only make sense if I could get some of my friends to also become members there otherwise I would just be playing alone or playing while my friends payed $40 to play the course everytime. Also, isn't 1/2 the fun playing different...

  7. $1000 golftown gift certificate??

    What would you use it on. If someone (no one would) got me one I think I would have to get all golf gear. Shoes, pants, shirts and stuff like that. If I was starting my set from scratch I would get the callaway x-tour for sure. Sick clubs PS no one got me one, but a guy can dream can't he?
