Golfers?

Well I golf, while not very well, I still do. My issue is that when I play I'm not that good and I'm just looking to have a good time with my friends, and have a few beers. I'm getting tired of the courses I've been playing and am looking for some different courses that aren't over run by pro's that will be up my ass for sucking. So I guess I'm just asking do you kind folks have suggestion? I mean places that aren't really expensive or to up tight.

Or

Lets just discuss golf in general.

I play anywhere any time I can and I don't give a DAMN about the other on the course.

What is your favorite local course? What do you usually shoot?

I golf all the time; but I can't ever get the ball past that little windmill!

"So I jump ship in Hong Kong and make my way over to Tibet, and I get on as a looper at a course over in the Himalayas. A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper, a jock. So, I tell them I'm a pro jock, and who do you think they give me? The Dalai Lama, himself. Twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes, the grace, bald... striking. So, I'm on the first tee with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off and whacks one - big hitter, the Lama - long, into a ten-thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of this glacier. Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga... gunga, gunga-galunga. So we finish the eighteenth and he's gonna stiff me. And I say, "Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know." And he says, "Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness." So I got that goin' for me, which is nice."

Have you tried Lakeside or Maumee? Those are basically the two places I got to play and I never get hassled...

I don't know if you do this already or not, but if you see some people that are playing really fast, just let them go ahead. I don't like to feel rushed (drinking or not), so we just let people through and continue to play at our own pace!

Caddyshack. A classic.

I don't have a particular favorite course, but I usually play Don Ross (AKA Fair View), Foster and lately I've been playing River Bend. I usually shoot around 105-110, like I said I'm not that good.

I just recently bought a new to me set of Nike Slingshot Irons, and a Nike Ignite driver. Once I get a feel for a driver with that big of a head I hope to break 100 this summer.

I played Eel River once and had a horrible time, we were all rookies and were playing a little slow, the course attendant followed us all round and stopped to yell at us a few times, that is what turned me away from busy courses and pushed me towards lower standard public courses.

Also if anyone has some good tips for curing a slice i'm all ears.

Sending a PM...we should get together and play a round soon. I have a scramble coming up in a few weeks that I am representing work for. I need to swing the clubs.

I love River Bend...I used to hang with a guy that is good friends with the owners so we played there for Free all the time. My membership was at LakeSide because it was close to my job at the time and now I just play wherever and whenever I get the chance.

I got married on a golf course so I love the game a little..

try moving your left foot back so your toes are in the middle of your right foot. sounds crazy, but it works for me.

also, my favorite course is Shoaff Park....easy par three with some really fun holes. And Lakeside can be fun when it's not under water.

The left foot at the right? would that make your legs crossed almost? Shoaff is okay but I just don't understand paying virtually full price for a par three course.

no...kind of like your left foot is taking about a 1/4 step backwards, while your right foot remains. sorry if that came out wrong...

Any of you BAD golfer's out at Foster park today?

The WORST day of slow ass golfer's handling I have ever had..

To start with...dude takes 6 shots to get from the white tee to the WOMEN'S tee on the FIRST hole...

I am not one to complain about bad golfers, but that had to go.

So no big deal...pro comes out and tells them to pick it up...after all it was the first hole and they could see this from inside.

We took our time and let them get a little distance...make it through a few holes and realize there is a frickin' OUTING today...4 man scramble, best ball, ALL shooting from the women's tees...how lame is that...so we are slowed up by dudes in front and THEN we have some assholes riding OUR ass like we are a problem...How about they play a MAN'S tee for a few holes and get a grip...

I am not having a GOOD day, but not having a BAD day either...so I am content...well...these assclowns in the outing seem to get this idea that they can pick up ANY ball they happen across and actually pick up at least 5 balls from our 4-some through the course of the day...jackass actually said...'I didn't think someone could hit it that far so we grabbed it'. lol...pull your head out of your ass dude...drop my ball...f**k off...

THEN...to top things off...I go to wash my ball (golf ball) on the 14th and get attacked by WASPS that had a nest in the cross bar of the ball washer...got my hand DAMN GOOD...slight, but instant swell and that was pretty much the end of my OK game. It just hurt to swing and I would stand up on every swing from the pain...I got a 9 on that hole...

SOOOO....if it was any of YOU jackasses that was in front of us today...or had party in the pansy women's tees outing...you suck..

So who want to play this weekend? heh...
