Golf Season!

[bkw]

went good, missed the rain, conditions were excellant. fairways and greens were really dry considering the amount of the rain we've had the last little bit.

its fairly wide open, nothing tricky about the course if you have the pda layout you should be fine.

there are some small corners you can cut going over bunkers and what not but nothing major. greens are medium sized some deceiving breaks (but i can't read greens to save my life). on some holes just make sure your on the right side of the green, some chips on specific sides of the greens are much much easier. mostly better to be short right or left chipping up hill on alot of them.

make sure you take enough club, ball isnt flying full distance yet, maybe 5 yds shorter or so.

btw, anyone want to play next week? after my first round of the year im started to fiend for golf..

Thats weird, I learned on graphite shafts and when i switched to steel i gained 10 - 15 yards per club.

[N.V.M.]

me and MizNVM are off to Bowen to try the nine holer out there. have no idea what to expect. have free ferry passes too.

[the_rickster]

its a fun course... i know a couple guys who work there. tale of two sisters was filmed there.

Just adding to the thread. Very stoked!

Badly need a new set of clubs though...

Lloyd was teeing off from the back tees. On his down-swing, he suddenly realized that his wife, Jean, was about to tee off from the red tees, directly in his path. Unable to stop his down swing he nailed the ball, hit Jean directly in the right temple, killing her instantly.

A few days later Lloyd received a call from the coroner concerning her autopsy . "Lloyd, your wife seems to have died from blunt force trauma to the head. You said you hit a golf ball and struck her in the temple. Is that correct?"

"Yes sir," Lloyd replied, "that's correct."

"Well, Lloyd, I also found a large bruise on Jean's right hip. Do you know anything about that?"

"Yes sir," Lloyd said, "That would have been my mulligan."

^ hahaha, omg thats hilarious. at the same time, i can picture myself taking golf that seriously too hahaha. good one.

how do you download the course on a gps. i have a portable gps that has a slot for a memory card. would i be able to do this. also, where do you get the gps info from for the golf course.

thanks.

i go to SkyCaddie, and choose the golf courses i want and they go into a personal list. i then connect my SkyCaddie, and sync my device with that list.

they were cheap($200), and i've been wanting to try graphite. anywho, just tried them at the range and what a difference. the club speed increase is awesome, especially for me because i don't really have a full swing, more like 7/8 max. i would say i easily picked up a club and a half with these babies. i'll give them a go at a golf course tomorrow for further testing.

Which Golf Town did you buy those from? Online only has steel shafts left. I think Tommy Armour irons are underrated

[N.V.M.]

Coquitlam.

[N.V.M.]

for you lefties out there: i was at Perfect Lies in North Van just now and they have a set of new Ping G10 irons(steel) for $99, marked down from $799. wow!

[rb]

damn... sometimes i wish i was a lefty when i see deals like that hah

[Hondaracer]

damn...

anyways, I was playing guildford on thursday and on one of the holes where the power lines are directly above, i hit a drive that curved STRAIGHT up into the middle line and i'm asuming from the friction against the line [since the ball obviously wasnt grounded] made the ball disinegrate lol, it was pretty crazy

[N.V.M.]

free shot for hitting those lines. played Golden Eagles South saturday, and Golden Eagles North today. 83 on each. first time for playing the south, seemed very short to me.

[N.V.M.]

awesome. free @ Westwood Plateau sunday. $178.50 a round there!

[Hondaracer]

ouch its at 178$ a round now? i've played it 4 times and all for free lol

A friend and I are looking into starting up on golf. What are some other golf goods stores besides places like Sportchek, Golf Express (Station Square) and Golf Town?

We're not looking at getting anything crazy expensive because we just want to get a beginner set to play around with at first and upgrade later on.

Why don't you go to the place under the onramp (From Vancouver) of the Granville St. Bridge? Golf Liquidation I believe it's called. They're closing that shop so they have really good deals on stuff. It's older stuff, but you just want something cheap right?

Also if you play with older stuff when you get the newer stuff with better technology, your shot will be better =)

[N.V.M.]

craigslist!
