Forum: General Golf Talk

Anyone else ever get super bad pain in there elbow? My right elbow;I also hit right is in pain. Started last night and to the point I have a grimace sometimes just doing normal household chores. Anyone else ever get this? I get very little rest; I play almost everyday and haven't stretched since...

If you've ever been to the 19th tee past 9pm you would have noticed that they have these huge lights on the driving range that help you see your ball when its dark outside. I was playing a course in toronto and my cousin said "why don't they just put lights down the fairway so you can finnish your...

Personally, I vote for Ernie. He suffered a bit Sunday, but i'd bet on him any weekend. Any other opinions? rockford35

Poll.

Chief Longtee made a comment elsewhere which got me thinking. Many of the distance claims on golf forums are incredible. Tom Wishon's book, The Search For The Perfect Golf Club, shows that a 100 mph swing, with a 10 degree driver, at a launch angle of 12 degrees will produce a 236 yard carry. I...

this is a General Poll..... curious to see how many of you believe the above is true becuase there are a few different ways to look at it.. i know wishtons theory says light shaft = more distance. but i believe this to only be true in certain circumstances #1. Hacker Senario

I don't think we've had one of these for a while, at least not that search can find. So, how many hybrids are in your bag for the start of the season? To be fair to the high lofted fairway wood types, lets call 7W and 9W hybrids too. After my most recent round where I had to hit a lot of...

Will Golfbum keep his crown or is there a new pig in town????? The paparazzi are ready and waiting!!!!!!!!!!

Would you trade places with Eldrick Woods??? Please think a bit before answering.

What's your preference?

Saw this thread on another site and thought I'd present it here. So how many changes has everyone made this season. Who would you like to start us off??:stirthepo... ... Geoff??:-)

According to the Score Golf web site, Rogers is moving the golf channel to channel 410 and you will have to subscribe to ditgital cable if they want to get it. I suppose nothing Roger's does surprises me any more. I can't stand dealing with that company. While I watch the golf channel quite a bit...

What are some of the worst breaches you have ever seen? BG458 was yelling at a squirell just before the next tee box while the group infront of us was trying to tee off. HILARIOUS but def. a breach! hahaha I've had people talking while I'm setting up, walking on my line...

Hello all, I am very curious if alot of players have experienced this... I'll start from the beginning. I started playing golf in 2008, maybe 20 rounds. 2009 probably 40 rounds most of them only 9 holes. 2010 I am playing alot more! Last year I never kept my handicap, but always shot in...

If you could make one universal change to the game, what would it be? Anything goes. For example, I would change the stroke and distance penalty for OB. I think it's too punitive and time consuming. I would make it a drop and penalty stroke just like a lateral hazard. Remember, anything goes....

This thread may have already been done, but it's a new season and I'm wondering what people shoot on average. Also interested if you're getting better from last season, worse, or still playing the same. Thanks

Dan Is there any chance that you could interchange the "Mark Forums Read" and the "Open Buddy List"? So that when I miss click with my mouse, while going for the "Today's Posts", I don't lose all the latest posts. Or maybe for April Fools you could add "Log Out" links around all the most...

Since the forum fun day where i easily would have posted a score of over 100 if i had properly kept track score wise my golf game has officially gone to complete hell. I haven't even breathed on the 70's since then with the closest being an 84 at the Canadian. It's like i've forgotten how to play...

Started keeping track of rounds more dilligently this year and am keeping a handicap using the handicap calculator on this site. I've been doing the math and it seems more advantageous to be playing from the back tees because of the higher rating. When do you suggest starting to play the back...

:confused does anyone remember when the courses opened last year??? sitting here wondering when we first played and noone can remember..

Was wondering what most of you thought if we could set up, let's say, a two hour mandatory class on "Golf etiquette" for everyone wanting to golf in canada. Once you attend this class, you receive a card that you must present at the pro shop when paying for your green fee.... :book

Thought I would start this thread again since we are so close to hitting the links. What crazy goals have folks thought up for themselves over the winter? Mine (in no particular order): 1. Be pin-high. ALWAYS. 2. Play more with the old man. Now that he has 2 new hips he might start...

OK, let's hear the hardcore golfer stories. I probably played my last round of the year today at Stonebridge. Tee'd off at noon, holed out at ~4:20. The sun came out at 11:55, which meant it was only a windshirt with vest underneath. Absolutely beautiful day for golf, especially for Nov. 12....

Seeing with the responses in the "who has the longest drive" thread are piling up, I was wondering what driver each of you respectively were using to produce that longest drive. Just out of personal curiosity. Mine was with a Tad Moore by Dunlop 10.5* w/stock firm graphite shaft. Wish I could...

Okay, my doorbell rang about ten minutes ago. The guy I sold the Ben Hogan CS3 to is a little annoyed because the shaft broke. I sold it to him I guess about three weeks ago, maybe a little more. I sold it for exactly what I bought it for - $100. I swung the club about ten times at the range before...

What kind of player are you?

Here is a Florida golf finding. The USGA Handicap system differs from the RCGA system. When I started playing in Florida I was getting skinned by what I thought were the same handicap golfers as me. I attributed this to the change in grass, winds and altitude. I discovered that the USGA...

This will be awesome to watch, I can't wait to see what the score will be: http://www.golfdigest.com/magazine/2008/01/gdopencontest I say 123. :laughing:

or for hacker, the least over par :) i play greensmere once and was 3 under after 8 holes. that is the lowest i've ever been, should have gone home after the 8th hole. i went on to shoot an 85

I know its not me :)

Me thinks Geoff you have lost site of the reason to play :) You are right--take a step back and stop :wallbash it does not help. I have too much respect for you to see you beating yourself up. :)

I've been playing (at) golf since 1974, but have not played regularly (60+ rounds/year) until about four years ago. I am an 18 handicapper and will probably stay in that range. I don't have the time to commit to improving, sad to say. I wish I could play faster, but clearly taking 90 strokes or so...

PAR 4: 272 yards from the white (Anderson Links, hole# 16) If the group behind you, lands their balls 3-6 feet outside the green while you're putting, would it bother you ?

I'm thinking of playing Greensmere this weekend but I want to make sure that it's in decent conditions. Like are there any temporary greens or tee boxes still? So if anyone has played it I would appreciate your comments. Thanks!!

I just read the post and replies on the length of time to play a round of golf and some of the varying reasons why it takes so long. It all has to do with etiquette. I am heading off to play in a tournament shortly, but I really want to get the ball rolling on this " Most " " Important " issue...

Clublink plans to continue acquiring courses at a rate of 1 or 2 a year. Not planning to build new, but to acquire more existing courses. Few organizations in golf endure such scrutiny or criticism as ClubLink Corp. It has been blamed for sounding the death knell of affordable public golf and...

Not to get into my day today but how many people think a marshall's job is to help players? If a marshall sees a ball bounce off a drainage grate and into the fescue while 20 yards away from the ball should he/she not get out of their cart and help locate the ball?

So I'm milling about Nevada Bob's this evening just after 7:00 when they decide to tune in the Sens game, or at that point the pre-game, on A-Channel. The announcer is doing some "fan on the concourse" interviews, when who do I see but our own Geoff Johnston, giving his 2 cents on the state of the...

A natural follow up to the last question. I was actually shocked to see how some people think of Mike.

I'm sure I won't win the golf piglette award this year, but next year I'll have a full year of being a clublink member, so watch out! Here are my stats for the 2010 golf season: 48 trips to the driving range (large buckets) 6 lessons 104 full rounds 24 nine hole rounds 82 birdies 2 eagles...

I'm new to the sport of golf. I just started playing this year so I decided that I should look into getting my swing analyzed and signing up for lessons. The only problem is that some different friends who went for lessons ended up in worst shape than before they began. Also, some advice I've...

We talk about lots of different things but I was just curious; how long has everyone been playing for? I've been playing since August last year. I assume I'm one of the newest players. Just curious how long everyone else has been playing.

We moved the forum server today and we are now running on the new system. Performance looks to be much better and all is working :-) On the downside we seem to have corrupted some of the images in the database, so please re-up your avatars if they are busted. Sorry for any inconvenience....

Played 18 today. Front 9, 19 over par. I've played poorly this year, but that was a new low even for me. Back 9 I start off with a double, then a par, then a bogey, then 4 pars and close with two birdies. One over. My best 9 before today was 44, today was a 36. Unfreakingbelievable! Biggest...

What do you think about this article? http://www.oobgolf.com/content/fore+play/stats/1-596-Putting_Schmutting.html I was interested to see how much I need to improve to become a decent putter. Actually I am way worse than any level so I guess a lot :lmfao:rolleyes at around 41 putts a round...
