2024 Masters Pool Sponsored by Titleist and Vokey Wedges
Albatrass replied to Golfspy_CG2's topic in Deals & Contests
The cut line for the 2024 Masters will be +1. The low amateur will be Stewart Hagestad. -
A good or great course depends on the design, conditions of the course, clubhouse, practice areas, food, staff and cost.

Do You Remember the First Time You Paid $100 (US or More) to Play Golf?
Albatrass replied to Golf2Much's topic in General Q&A
The first time I paid $100.00 to play golf was at Pebble Beach (many years ago). Ended playing by myself as the group I was paired with did not show. My wife had gone over to Carmel for few hours. She could have ridden in the cart with me. Still quite an experience even if she was not with me. -
Normally play twice a week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with no set times. Play in a few scrambles and golf association events.

2023: How many brands have you played?
Albatrass replied to GolfSpy_APH's topic in General Equipment Talk
I do not change manufacturers very often. My equipment and accessories will pretty much stay the same: Driver=Callaway Woods/hybrids=Callaway Irons=Callaway Wedges=Callaway Putters=Odyssey Golf balls=Titlelist-Taylormade-Callaway Shoes=Footjoy Gags=Datrek Gloves=Footjoy GPS=Garmin Headcovers=Virginia Tech -
I have not hit a driving iron but based on my ability to hit a 3 or 4 iron I would rather hit a hybrid. My hybrid 3H is easier to hit straighter and higher.

Would like to congratulate all the participants for playing this season. Daviddvm had a great win. I did far better than I thought I would do. I would like to thank you very much for organizing and conducting the competition and that you will do this next season.

If someone wants to listen to music while playing, they should be respectful/courteous of his fellow competitors, they could use buds or earphones or they could check to see if anyone objects and not play any music. If they are given permission to play music the volume should be kept low to not bother others on the course playing.
