ole gray Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I have met many golfing friends through the golfing forums. In fact, I have not met a single one who was not a blast to tee it up with. Some of them are still close friends today and will be lifetime buddies! Ole DawgDaddy is about an hour & half down the road from me and we have teed it up many times through the years. bens197, cnosil, cksurfdude and 4 others 7 Quote Ping G430 Max Driver 10.5 Degree Titleist TSR1 4, 5, & 6 Hybrids Titleist T350 Irons 7 - W48 Cleveland CBX ZipCore 52 56 & 60 Degree Wedges LAB Mezz Max Broomstick Putter / TPT Shaft (Platinum @ 45/78) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigtazzGolf Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The positives far out weigh the negatives.I've met and played with a few dozen guys over the years to tee it up with. Some in big gatherings. These are the funniest and most enjoyable.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy JohnSmalls and cksurfdude 2 Quote Grip n Rip it Chicks dig the LONG ball In my staff bag King F7+ Mitsubishi Tensei CK Pro White 60 - Graphite Tour X-Stiff CBX 13.5 3 Wood Atomic Irons 4-AW (reviewing) CG16 Satin 52* 588 RTX 2.0 56* and 60* Sentio Sierra 101-M Putter Proud tester of the Tommy Armour ATOMIC Irons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MattF Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2019 Every person I've met and played golf with from this forum, I think of as a mate now. (That's pretty big in Australia) As for that special someone, I met my wife online back in 2003, when it was still a big taboo. Yep, I'm a mail order bride. ole gray, Golfspy_CG2, JohnSmalls and 7 others 8 2 Quote In the bag: Driver: Darkspeed X 9° UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Blue 7F4 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Fairway 14 stand bag Balls: Chrome Tour Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 God Bless America, God save the King, God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia!

PMookie Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I’ve played golf with a groups of guys from the major websites a couple times. There are two I still keep in-touch with, one lives 30 miles from me, the other is JLukes in here. Most of the folks I met at the gatherings were great guys, others were their own biggest fan.... One thing I noticed is many folks internet game didn’t match their real-life game!

Siamese Moose Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I've played with at least 30 guys from a couple of sites, and met at least as many more at outings over the last 25 years. Out of all that I'd say there was only one guy less than super as a playing companion, and he was still better than the average of the random people I've been paired with over the years. I regret having lost touch with some of them. MattF, JohnSmalls and cksurfdude 3 Quote Moose, my cat, is Siamese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berg Ryman Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 One day @bens197 I will play a round together and he will torch me like Sherman torched Atlanta. I'd also love to meet up with some of the forum crew like when @Golfspy_CG2 tried to set up that Myrtle trip that never was that I was going to arrive by train for. Also, met my girlfriend on eHarmony last year. Trying to get into one of their ads for the commercial money.

mr.hicksta Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Over the last 4ish years, the majority of the people I tee it up with are people I’ve met through golf forums. I’ve yet to have a negative experience with any of them. Probably because we all have this crazy game in common, and that helps reduce the nonsense. In person, I’m no different than I am on the forum, which I think is important because you never know what to believe these days. The social aspect of golf is one of the things I love the most about the game, and online communities certainly help me make those new connections that I cherish!
