CBass1724 1 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I just got my new Vokey wedge on Saturday and can't wait to use it. I got a 60 degree wedge with 8 degrees of bounce. Hopefully it will help me some out of the sand and rough. It's going to slice up my pro v1's but should be fun to spin a few back, lol. Link to post Share on other sites

leftygolfer 7 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Thats the lesser brag IMO. That fact I can list 9 courses within 10 minutes drive from my house, 5 of which have been used as a Major Qualifier event course isthe real brag. Golf is quite possibly the only thing that makes living in Scotland bearable.Also, on the note of the quality of play at St Andrews, you'd be surprised how many rich millionaires come out just to say they played on the course. I was rail - birding my dad and uncle playing a round and was astonished at some of the play I saw.If you are ever in the UK, I'd highly advise playing one of the major UK courses during autumn. Great fun taking a perfect tee shot and watching the high winds push it in to the trees. I stay adamant it was the high winds, not the fact I tugged the club.Played in Scotland and England. Only saw trees at one course...Formby.Good times though! Link to post Share on other sites
Jambizzle 0 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Played in Scotland and England. Only saw trees at one course...Formby.Good times though!Facking hell. All but 2 of the courses I've played are wooded up. St Andrews being one (obv because it's near tonnes of water and is wind exposed).Typical Scottish golf weather has resumed. Storms and plenty of wind to put you off and make you go insane. Got a tee time today (leave in 15 minutes, hence why I'm up at 8:53). Playing Piperdam golf course, should be "fun".

Jambizzle 0 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Thank god for the good weather. Tee time tomorrow morning of 10:30AM at Piperdam. The course which I last week found out frowns upon members or visitors wearing any type of shorts. Facking joke! Back to trousers me thinks. :-(Trip report up ASAP. Link to post Share on other sites
BigLebowski 0 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Just got back from vacation to the Georgia coast and central Florida. Played a goat track on St. Simon's and it was $74. Sick. The only difference between that course and my dad's in central Florida was this one had water on it. My pops course is $17 right now. Don't ask how my dad moves to Florida and manages to join a club without one drop of water on it. Bad beat of the trip: leaving the sticks in my buddies car at St. Simon's. My wife thinks I did it on purpose so I can get back down there sooner. Sounds like a plan to me. Link to post Share on other sites
HubDub04 0 Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 Played all day yesterday and have a tee time in about 30 minutes.Playing this course in Northern Illinois called Shepards Crook.Some of the fastest greens around. Feelin like i'm putting on pool tables.Also has some solid action today too. Hope I can ship a nice score. Link to post Share on other sites

HubDub04 0 Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Golfing today in a little bit. The weather here in Wisconsin is amazing now.Also, bought a new driver. The Cleveland Launcher.I hit it a mile.Weeeeeee. Link to post Share on other sites
Jambizzle 0 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Weeeeeeeeeee baby!What a round I had. ROML! Par is 72, I shot and 83. The 11th hole is a 222 Yarder across the water, and WOW! The boomsauce was certainly in my swing. First shot I decided to slam it across, which hit the water obv, second attempt, BOOMSAUCE! 5 yards from hole, and a putt for par. My short game was back to it's swingy self, but my driving and putting were phoenminal.Gotta say aswell, first time using a cart because it was a hot day and bloody hell do you notice the difference when you get to the 13/14th holes.

Jackets1407 0 Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 Playing at Heron Bay just south of Atlanta tomorrow. This is one of my favorite courses and is really diffucult. The greens are extremely fast and tough to read. It plays really long from the blues and really really long from the tips. Will give a report when I get back. Link to post Share on other sites

PMJackson21 0 Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Playing Santa Teresa tomorrow. weeeeeeeeeeeeHa, I haven't played there in years. We used to have to play some high school matches there. My mom actually asked me to go play there with her and my nephew on Monday(the par 3 course), but I can't handle playing with both of them at once.I don't play enough golf anymore. I play a ton every year in spurts; when I'm in Kauai I play 6-7 times, and then late in the summer I go to an annual tournament wayyyyy up in Northern Cali (past Shasta) and play 4-5 rounds in a few days. My dad is a member at Salinas Country Club (I know, who knew Salinas had country clubs?) so I go out once in a while w/ him, but that course is boring (brag, shot a 76 after not swinging a club for 3+ months on Saturday).Later this summer I'm playing in a tournament at a place called Rooster Run in the Petaluma area...anyone in the Bay Area ever play there? I've read reviews online and it sounds ok I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites

I three putted 4 times and couldn't hit the fairway if my life depended on it. Link to post Share on other sites
