sylvie, that is a great way to start. There is also cost saving to be had when buying clubs, there really is no reason to buy new when you are learning. Sometimes Goodwill and the Salvation Army receive clubs as donations. There is Craig's List, though you should always take someone with you and also eBay. The best place is people you know that golf usually have an extra set when the bought new ones.

Ask questions and go tee it up!

Just back from a great round of golf....Great for me.
I broke 100! Shot 96

46 on the front 9 and 50 on the back

The best part was making par on 5 holes. I was 1 or 2 over par on 11 holes and only 2 dreaded triple bogies!

Time for a nap!

Have a great day!

I would rather be golfing than doing just about anything!

I would like to hear about where people play, good shots, bad scores, Birdies, eagles.....the dreaded triple bogies ( if I could only putt!) I certainly will be posting mine....The last round I played..... 103!

My next round is scheduled for June 27.

Hey you sound like me OS. I love to play!!!! I am great off the tee, usually hit it about 250yrds or so and my short game is good too, but my putting..... well. Say it's a par 5 375yrd hole. I can be on the green in 3 shots but 5 shots later I'll be in the hole. hahahahahah Putting bores me stiff so forget about more practice...
I could play golf everyday and never get sick of it. I'll share some funny stories later I'm off to a birthday party.

250 yards! You got me by 50 yards. I found I have lost a lot of distance since not playing much in the last 5 years. Another thing about getting older, good grief!
I cannot read a green no matter how long I stare at it. If I putted better, I am sure I could drop my score at least another 6 strokes.
I am looking forward to hear your funny stories. I have quite a few myself!

Have a great evening.

OS Butch · 07-05-2011, 08:28 PM

Looks like my next outing is July 11th. Anybody else been to the range or played? I think I am going through withdrawals! I wanna play! I have to get 6 more rounds in to get my handicap.

I am thinking about buying a new putter. Anyone have one they really like?

OS Butch · 07-23-2011, 07:44 PM

I am really bummed. Haven't gotten to play in awhile. I just might have to go to the driving range because it doesn't look like I can get to my league play until August 1!

sylvie · 07-26-2011, 04:49 PM

so, i did the research, asked a guy i work with where he went and what he paid etc, and its much better than i thought..
so i am quite excited, as Mtn has said He would do it with me when we can too!

so something to look forward to! =)

Corkey · 07-26-2011, 05:06 PM

I haven't tee'd up for years. Miss playing the game.
Back when I lived on Maui I got to play on Wailea Blue and Gold courses, Kapalua., the local at Wailuku, and of course Kahili. I went with the retirees who always needed a partner and they always picked up the fees and cart. That was all in the 90's. I had a piece of property in Crestone that has an executive course on it that was a trip. In the spring the Elk made cleaning up ones divot a nightmare, and the geese were always on holes 6 and 7 near the water hazards, and often they got a ball up the caboose for their lollygaging on the fairway.

I had a handicap of 20, not great but that's why I love golf, finding my inner mantra on the Tee, "just to meet not to kill".

Now I use the Wii LOL

OS Butch · 07-31-2011, 06:21 AM

Wow! I have never been to Hawaii, but I bet those courses are beautiful. One of my dream rounds would be to play Peeble Beach or TPC at Sawgrass.

Oh well, I did play 9 yesterday at the saddest little course, but it is inexpensive, $25 with a cart.
I had several great drives, though my distance is still shorter than it use to be. Only had one blow up hole, I call it my Tin Cup hole, over a ravine to the green.... 3 in the ravine and finally one pin high on the green. Fortunately nobody was behind us or I would not have done that.
I had a birdie too I chipped in from the rough with a 7 iron from about 20 feet. I did a happy dance

I wish I could say the same. I haven't gotten to play in months. I have lost so much distance on all my clubs, club selection is hard. I end up short all the time. I don't know, my club speed must be way down.
