[Dr.J]

So....though I would take up golf.

I did on and off.. but I mean go play two 3 times a week.

What the heck....there are worst things right?

It's awesome and frustrating at the same time.

problem with golf is that there aren't any bitches playing.  Just you spending hours with a bunch of other dudes.

A. you play to get away from the bitches for 5 hrs
b. most courses usually have hot chicks driving around in carts selling booze!

A large bucket at the driving range covers me for the year on golf.

Love the game, love watching it, love playing it. Used to play one or twice per week now I'm lucky if I could get to a driving range,

correct footwear is most important

A couple of weeks ago I was watching an even and they were tracking Brant Snedeker's paces, distance and calories burned. I believe it was somewhere through 13-14 he had walked a little over six miles and burned about 2200 calories. I'm sure they were doing that with everyone on the leader board. But I found this interesting. I didn't catch the final calorie numbers but it had to be somewhere around 2800k by the time it was over.

If they made every pro use the same kind of high spinning balata ball that most used 20 years ago, they wouldn't have to lengthen the golf courses to outrages distances. The reason guys 20 years ago weren't averaging 300 yard drives was because they had to lay off a little because the ball spun too much. Today's golf ball goes basically straight no matter how hard you swing. It's the golf ball that wrecked the numbers in golf. And it's such a simple fix to bring back the game.

Thanks grandpa!

How the hell did you do that

I'm sure booze was involved.

Anyway the 2013 RocketBladez by Taylor Made got stellar reviews, including those I got from real people.  They're not expensive, and I could use an upgrade.

Most useful club in my bag is the ball retriever.

Softball and coaching baseball have left me zero time for golf.  But work might start a league so there's hope.

My cuz has them and loves them...he had Callaway Razors but the ball moved to much...big draw...the Taylors go a lot straighter.

These days, I get out maybe once a Summer, and usually a best-ball benefit so I work on my beer cart game and stick handle the fairways.

That's been my experience too, coupled with one winter round at an offsite.    Hoping for 10 rounds this  year.   Used to play 30 when I was younger.

A bunch of my family {Dad,Uncles,cousins"} do a best ball charity event every year...for us a little less mature family members it's a blast.
