  1. Red face pledge to charities - 2011

    2nd annual pledge to charities. :smash $5 for birdies, $20 for eagles (or pick your own amounts to give). Last year's pledge had 9 participants, we recorded over 200 birdies/eagles and raised over $1,000 for Canadian charities. Click here for the 2010 thread. I assume the same players from last...

  2. 2012 Pledge to Charities

    Birdied #5 at Prescott on both Saturday and Sunday. Guess I'll start it this year seeing as NoKids still has yet to get one this year :redface. I'll even steal his format: 3rd annual pledge to charities. :smash $5 for birdies, $20 for eagles (or pick your own amounts to give). Last ...

  3. pledge to charities

    I pledge $5 for every birdie I make this golf season, and $20 for every eagle to go to a registered charity in Canada. At the end of each month, I'll tally up the birds, and make the gift. I think this is a great way to motivate myself to shoot lower scores, and not feel so guilty about playing so...

  4. Poll Poll: What to hit from 170yds out...

    On the idea of "distance claims" can we come up with a question that will give a more reasonable picture of distance. Let's try the following: Which club would you use if you had 170yds to the pin? Just because I know there will be questions: - no elevation change between you and the pin -...

When I switch to a shorter iron (say a 9 iron or PW), my distances drop dramatically to 110 and 90 respectively. It seems like these distances should be higher as well. I am using stiff shafted...

  50. Tee it Forward

    Just wondering what everyone thinks about the new Tee It Forward initiative being promoted. It focuses on people moving up a set of tees to make the game more enjoyable and help speed up play?
