The Golf Thread

[BigThunder]

I'm going to the Tuesday practice round at the Masters. I'm staying in Columbia, SC through Wednesday. I'm looking to play two courses during that time frame. Do you guys have any suggestions or recommendations? I'm getting ready to book tee times so any help would be greatly appreciated...

What did those cost?

 

[BigThunder]

I got them for $614… Birthday present from the wife

 

[brandonco05]

They had a used rbz 3-wood I liked, but I wasn't going to pay $200 for it. Got the Nike vr for $150 brand new.

I was the opposite, did well on the front, went to s*** on the back.

I know of a guy from Winchester who is a really good player and his nickname was Tank (based off his last name). Do you look like Corey Pavin?

No, but I know exactly who you are talking about. He is a good player. I've played with him several times in my lifetime. I actually know him pretty well. Never heard anyone call him Tank. Why is he called Tank?

Anyone ever played "Fighting Joe" RTJ course in Muscle Shoals Al?

Yes. Played it from the tips a couple of years ago. Lots of water. Greens are top notch

 

[MSUDuo]

Just got done playing 9. Bogied or doubled bogied the first 5 and then went in to par the last 4. Go figure...

Excited to get back out and see if what I thought I fixed was actually it

I'm wanting to get my clubs fitted, does anyone here have experience with that? Will a place do it if you already have clubs or do you have to buy them from there? Cost?

Yeah, anywhere like Dick's or Edwin Watts will custom fit your clubs whether you buy them there or not. Dick's use to charge half price on new services for clubs you bought through them and Watts would do it for no charge. I think Dick's charges $4-6 for lengthening/shortening and 7-8 bucks for bending per club.

That's not as bad as I thought

 

[CubsFanTN]

Not terrible, but it can get pricey to fit an entire set.

I'm thinking about just irons for now.

 

[CubsFanTN]

I hope you just need a bend and not a cut. There's always the possibility of needing new grips or paying to have your old grips saved when you have the length changed.
