  1. Here is a short list of my favorites Erado - Before you tee off your group decides how many holes will be counted. Hole 18 must be counted. During play if you score a big number you may deem that hole to be Omitted, the catch is you must make this announcement before teeing off on the next hole. Vegas golf - this game can be bought at Amazon or if you are froogle you can make your own. "Each player begins the round with no chips. The first player that hits a shot that corresponds to the designation on the chip is given that chip. He/she holds on to that chip until someone else hits the same shot. For Example, if player number 1 goes into the sand he/she will hold that chip until another player goes into the sand. He/she then gives the chip to that player. The same holds true for the positive chips. The last one to get a one putt or a birdie is the one that gets that chip. At the beginning of the round, each chip is given a designated dollar value. At the end of the round those players holding the negative chips will pay to each player the designated amount for each chip he or she is holding. Those holding the positive chips will receive the same amount from each of the other players. " - Vegas Golf Game.
  2. Broke 70 please also, how do you get the Donor badge, besides being a donor (which I am)?
  3. My experience is the Ping Color Code chart is a great place to start, but not the end all. You should hit off a lie board and see where you are stinking the sole. I am 6'1 and the Ping Chart says I should be 2° upright, but my hands are low at impact which make me need 2° flat. Go to your fitter and hit real balls off the lie board, you will be very pleased afterwards.
  4. I was in the business for 8 years and I got my start by going through a Professional Golf Management Program and then into the PGA. I would think the best way to go about it is to first look into a PGM program. I am not sure if you desire to go back to school, but there are online programs available. These programs will prepare you for the business and will set you apart from others. Check them out and good luck!!!
  5. Take your current driver with you to the fitting. Hit it along with the new Drivers on the market and compare the numbers. This will give you the answer you are looking for.
  6. What I loved most about Oakmont was that it blended with the natural terrain. It really looks like it had always been there. Plus the history lesson my caddie gave me as we walked the course was fantastic.
  7. I would say my top 3 are... 1) Oakmont CC - Let's face it "Its OAKMONT"!!! I remember walking off the course and saying "If you think you are a Player, you should play here....it will humble you". 2) Tobacco Road, Sanford NC - Stunning views and some of the wildest designed holes out there. 3) Brays Island Plantation, Sheldon SC - This place is what the Low Country of SC is all about.
  8. I have tried everything in the book, except getting professionally fitted. I have a putter (Odyssey O works 1w) that I put good with, but not great. It keeps coming back to the bag after I go out trying something else. I know that it is not the perfect putter for me and I am obsessed with the hunt for the perfect putter. With that being said I truly feel that if I was to bite the bullet and get fitted then the hunt would be over. I love everything in my bag except the putter, so one could say that the reason I haven't gone to get fitted is because just as all golfers I like to experiment with all the shiny new toys out there. LOL!!!
  9. I agree with all of the above statements and would add to be patient. A lot can happen in 18 holes, so don't rush or force anything.....oh and don't forget to breathe!
  10. I have always heard it was best to get the ball on the ground as soon as possible. Sure putting through the fringe is dicey at times, but I believe the variables are less when putting than chipping. Also, I see a lot of people using the wrong club when chipping. The 56* up to the 60* are sexy to chip with but are not the best options unless you have no other choice. My dad and his friends will wear us out with 6 and 7 irons around the greens. So awesome to watch and the stress level for them is nothing.
  11. I have always used it through the app. I know that you can setup games on their website and it will transfer to the app. So give it a try. I think you will like it.
  12. Golf Game Book My buddies and I use it all the time, especially on our annual trip. The app does the following.... * Live Scoring * Multiple Games * Side Bets * Stats * and more. All free or if you want a little more there is a premium version. I have used it for the past 3-4 years and never saw a need for the upgrade.
  13. I play and love the Tour Edge CBX Ironwoods. They don't look as bulk and offset like most of the Driving irons out there. I started with the 3 iron for tee shots only, but after hitting a few shots from the fairway I found that it was a better play than my stock 3 iron. I then went out and bought the 4 iron to replace my stock 4 iron. They both have the Project X HZD Smoke shaft in them and I couldn't be happier with their performance. I have had some of my higher handicap friends try them and they were shocked at how easy they were to hit. They definitely improved my game.
  14. Ping i200's or i210's either would be a great pick up. I have played both and I currently game the i210's, which I love. The i210's have a little more compact look to them and feel softer to me. I have had friends hit them and ask if they are forged. I know hard to believe a cast iron can feel like a forged iron, but they do!!. Very forgiving and are true to standard lofts, which is another reason I like them. Give them a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.
