why anyone tell me why people play golf and drink beer?
i was just at pitch and putt, the group in front of me was drinking (got caught) and the group behind me was drinking and holding a plastic bag full of beer..
wat's the rationale behind this? i thought golf was a elite sport.

the ultimate warm weather sport is golfing, the ultimate warm weather beverage is beer. need i say more? in all seriousness, though... you're right golf is considered an elitist sport, and if you're elite, you should know how to control your liquor intake. there's a huge difference between a few social beers and getting fucking shitfaced before the turn. people who pay $15 to hack it up are more likely to be smuggling beer and getting loaded than the group who pays $150+ for a round.
most pitch and putts dont allow you to bring beer on the course because its a family oriented place, most larger courses don't allow you to bring beer because they want to sell it to you either off their carts or in their clubhouse.
i haven't played golf in about 3 months. for some reason, i've lost the urge to play.

everyone likes to have a couple pops out on the course, of course your gonna get busted on a little dinky pitch and putt, but on the big courses when your paying $100+ to play, im sure they dont mind a beer or 2, it's a social thing

I think on that first hole there, its about 220 to the bunkers.

Also some ppl claim to play better while knockin back a few as it takes out the jitters.

I just picked up a new set of Taylormade R7s a couple months ago. I love em. I also tried the X18s and they are great. The X20s callaway suckkkkk. I also have a Cleaveland Launcher 460 ti. and love it.
I went and checked out Bear Mountain at Victoria, and it is fantastic. It is like its own village there. I cant wait to play there... $100 18 holes, includes cart.

hahah yea they are in the process of being on sale not quite ready yet..but thats the thing i like about ping clubs, the finish they put on it makes resale value very high. I find chrome clubs show don't age well......
i played guildford yesterday, tryin to take advantage of that after 12pm 2 players + power cart for $75. the round took us 5 hrs 20mins....uggggh. but i guess for $40 w/ a cart i can complain too much hahah.

Golf shoes are important for a proper stance and balance. I have never golfed without proper shoes. I wear Footjoy and or Nike, and depending on the style (narrow/wide) I wear same size as street shoes. If you are contemplating buying a pair, make sure they are water resistant at the minimum or waterproof, the dew on some early mornings can penetrate and you end up with wet socks.

Fraserview. $50 for 20 tokens, 40 balls = $0.0625 each ball
No.6 near riverport. $42 for 10 tokens, 60 balls = $0.07 each ball
anyone else? i just bought my set today =D
very excited to practice and play the real thing!

everything about the fraserview range sucks.
i cant remember how much a bucket costs, but musqueam has a fairly decent set-up. give them a shout and see what their rates are.
or if you want to throw down an investment of $225, university will give you 50 tokens, which is the equivalent of $0.075/ball
