Signed up for a Great Life membership last week and plan on using it often. I've played a round with Canary Saturday and Sunday. Loving it. Detch23 and Detch23 wife also played with us Saturday. Anyway golf, what a game. Let's talk about it.
Due to time constraints only played 9 each day. 67 and 61 respectively at Western Hills. :frown:
-
I want to know how it goes at Berkshire tomorrow. Keep me posted.
-
Shot a 45 on the front nine at Western Hills today. Shot a 48 on the back nine yesterday. Canary with with a 43 and a 54 respectively. As per our agreement I had to pay for the carts today for being a losing loser face.
-
Get used to paying for the carts. You aren't winning again.
-
We should meet for a great life golf pak sometime. I'm a fellow GLer.

I'm most definitely in. Just name the course and we'll set one up.

I would consider that.
-
Are you in the Topeka area?
-
I live in JC, but I could come that way sometime. Western Hills is fun. Berkshire isn't bad. I also like Lake Perry.
JC course is rough, but Abilene has a fun 18 hole course and a nice old 9 hole that used to be the country club. I haven't played the one in Salina yet either.
-
Sundance and I talked about trying Abilene and junction city too. I've heard that Perry is nice.
-
We could do a "home and home." _FAN pick the east course and we can pick the west course. What's your availability like fan?
-
Great idea. I'm in if I can make it work with my schedule.
-
I'll let you two make a plan. Just let me know where to be and when.
-
Will do.
-
Also a gler here. Man what a deal
-
What are the courses?
-
Never mind, just looked it up. What are their better courses?
I used to be a member of what ever this group was years and years ago when they only had Bershire and Lake Perry, and Prairie view was literally a pasture.
-
Prairie view needs gators for carts.
-
Prairie View is by far the roughest GL course I've played.
I'm thinking early next week might be good for me.
-
Name the course and time _FAN.

If you guys play in East Kansas (this side of Club Orleans) I would like to join you if you aren't already a full boat :shy:
-
We will await _FAN's judgement. I'm pulling for you Pete!
-
We should meet at Lake Perry next week. Let me double check my schedule, but we'll make it happen.
-
Shot +5 on a 9 hole course today :gocho:
-
*terrible golfer

what putt-putt course was it?
-
What is Great Life and why are your scores so terrible?

Anytime Monday or afternoon on Tuesday works. Just let me know.
Come to Perry Pete!

in for perry depending on time
-
I like golf. I like that I'm a newb because it means I can make noticeable improvements in short periods of time. It's also a great way to force your mind to engage completely in something and thereby forget about whatever other crap you've been stressing over.
-
What is Great Life and why are your scores so terrible?
You pay $40 monthly, but you get a choice of courses that Great Life owns. You can play as much as you want, carts cost an additional $13 per 18. They aren't great course because most were ready to go under when Great Life bought them cheap, but I have fun playing them and it's very affordable. They also have fitness stuff at most locations.
Golf is a hard game.

i have been known to pick up and just drink beer and drive the cart cuz I suck so much ass and it stresses/pisses me off so much

Sure. I might be able to swing earlier. But I have meetings on Tuesdays so I might not be able to leave work early, I'll be standing by

I'm willing to do both courses Tuesday. Have to redeem myself after letting Sundance win today.

So what's the scoop? How many are playing Perry and at what time Tuesday?

I can be to Perry by 12:30 or 1.
-
I have golfed on no fewer than 4 of the last 7 days :sdeek:
-
I can be to Perry by 12:30 or 1.
Alright. I'll call and get a tee time for around 1245 tomorrow for 3 people. Unless others plan on making it before I call I can increase that.

Just say 4. We can always say 1 couldn't make it. Plus they probably wouldn't pair a single with us anyway.

I got confused by "tomorrow." Are you playing Tuesday, or whatever day "tomorrow" was when you posted this?

He means Tuesday. I think.

Yes, he means Tuesday. He will call today to reserve the tee times for us for Tuesday.
He and I are playing at Berkshire today.

Is Wildcat Creek not part of Great Life anymore? I don't seem them listed on their website.

They were only officially part for one year. Since then there was an informal relationship and you could show your WC card at a GL course and all you had to pay was the $13 cart fee. That was up until a couple years ago when I was still a member at WC, it may have changed since then.
-
Just so we are on the same page, you guys play from the red tee boxes too, right?
-
What time are you guys playing western hills (can't make perry I'm pretty swamped)
-
Around 545?
-
Perfect
-

So red tee boxes it is. Sweet action.

i can drive the ball a long way, like really far out there you guys. i have included a picture representation of TBT off the tee box

-
You should probably move back to yellows.
-
i would hit it even further into the trees then. at least now its like a 67% chance i can find my ball
-
TBT, I slice it almost every single time. Have learned to play it, but it always takes a bunch of distance off of my hit.
-
Have you considered altering your swing, instead?
-

i have learned to play with it, wherever i want the balls final resting place to be is 48o counter clockwise of that spot
-
if only i would have taken those #trimstuff golf clubs, i could probably beat all of you at golf
-
Have you considered altering your swing, instead?
i have been told i have incredible club head speed, if i change my swing i will lose that too

Yeah, golf is primarily a mental game. Some people just aren't good at it.

:D

I have tried that. I have an unusual circumstance with grip so it is what it is.

Btw, who scheduled a golf outing during the USWNT game tomorrow?

I was really just giving Sundance a hard time. I'm looking forward to the afternoon.
-
Yeah. My bad. I let Ali down. She will never marry me now. The match is at 5.
-
I'll have the dvr set and watch it later maybe.

I have watched 0 seconds of soccer this summer, compared to about 500K seconds of Royals and I will gladly miss at least part of this Royals game to golf with you fine folks.

I will say I played the most ridiculous front 9 at Perry of my life. 3 pars, 3 bogeys, 3 birdies. SDK and canary had to wonder what the heck was going on.

Quote of the day. After losing all of our balls off the tee box. "That's ok. That's why we use the cheap balls."
Callaway supersoft. Golfing with BIL and sister.
-
I had a terrible first round, but shaved 11 strokes off my score in the second half. It was competitive. The difference in tee boxes amazes me. I had some decent shots but they teed off almost 100 yards ahead of where I did. Not being a long-hitter made it a struggle for me at times. Yep, got beat by my sister!
-
We will get them today!
-
I'm going to give this Hole19 free app a try today.
-
when is the next meet up gentleman?
-
Aside from this weekend, I'm free most every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.
-
I'd be interested to know who on gE is the longest hitter.
-
I can tell you who it is definitely not.
-
pissclams is a big hitter but he cant putt for crap.

its a huge facility, 3 stories of driving range bays all done up like an ultralounge adult dave and busters. you rent out a bay for 40$ an hour for up to 6 people. the bay has a high top table or couches and a tv and the scoring system. there is a tee box in each bay with an automated ball dispenser. you crush balls with golf clubs out into the driving range, which has various targets at different distances. the balls have microchips and you get points based on what targets you hit where. there are different games where you cant just hit at any target you want or hit at specific targets in order and you lose points for getting in the wrong hole. drink and food prices seemed standard for joco chain restaurants and was decent to good. they provide you with clubs or you can bring your own. inside they have several bars and restaurant areas as well as billiards and xbox/ps4 video game couches.

i know this is an elite kc things joke, but i would be willing to bet that topgolf does indeed have kareoke
-
so if you go with 5 other guys for a couple hours it's $80/6=$13 per person? that seems pretty cheap
-
they also have hilarious valet parking and an old guy driving a golf cart shuttle to drive you the 50 ft from your free parking spot to the door if valets arent your thing
-
so if you go with 5 other guys for a couple hours it's $80/6=$13 per person? that seems pretty cheap
yeah i thought so too. they must get you with the $4 aluminum resealable miller lite pints (16 dollar bucket of 5)

Top Golf is just okay. Not sure if I'll go back...
Sorry, I just felt like being the first person in the history of the world to string those particular words together.

are their clubs brand name or take your own?
-
they were top golf branded and seemed fine. im no golfcat though.
-
I've added Top Golf to my list that includes Dave & Busters, Hooters and various other establishments of their ilk. rough ridin' mall people.
-
I would try it once
-
Hole19 is a decent app for being free. Will use from here on out.
-
they were top golf branded and seemed fine. im no golfcat though.
How long is the shortest, and then the longest hole? Like, if I brought my own clubs would I have to bring every iron and wood to cover the range? I wouldn't want to be that guy.
Also, is it the turf mat thing that you hit off of? I rough ridin' hate those.
Also again, tia.

Also again, tia.
you hit off an artificial grass thing with a rubber tee if you want. the grass was fine.
the shortest target is like 15 yards, the longest is 215. past that if you hit up on the net in the middle, is the long drive trench target that is like 230 yds probably.
-
Appreciate it, puni.
They're opening one here in Denver next month, so I'm assuming I'll be there at some point in the near future.
-
I can do another GL golf pak the last week of July or first week of August. Let's do this.
-
yes
-
I'm in for any Sunday Monday or Tuesday. Suggestions on courses? I'm open to travelling west.
-
Early starts on Sunday and Monday work best though as I have things to do both evenings. I'm free all day on Tuesdays.
-
My daytime availability ends at the end of July for the most part. Until then I can get away from my office early pretty much any day of the week or weekend. Starting in August I can't do much during the day before 3:30. If necessary you guys set a time that you can all go. I'll join if I can.
-
Fan, glad you would like to play again. That was a real pleasure last time watching you master the course.
-
Made an eagle today. Followed it up with 3 bogeys and shot +2 overall (9 holes) with only a little bit of jiggery pokery.
-
Nice work, spracs.

i'm starting to hit the ball more consistently, but i'm still v. v. sucky.

Amazing scenery, _Fan. Hope it was a great trip.
I did 18 at Perry today with a buddy. Had a good time out there.
-
I'm waiting for another GolfCats outing. Someone get on that.
Had a nice relaxing round today. My schedule starts to tighten in a couple of weeks. Hoping to get as much time in on the links before that change.
Anyone?
-
I'm not available until the last week of July. Next week I will be going with my son to the Boundary Waters in Minnesota for a week.
-
That sounds like a great week. Enjoy that time with your son.
I will return to full days at the office the first week of August. After that I will only be available after 3:30.
We will have to make that last week of July work out.

Who wants to see a picture of my approach shot on the last hole at Hancock--the oldest golf course in Texas--that has some sand greens not by design?

Yes, that was my 2nd shot into the par 4 9th hole. I paid $10 for the round, so stop it.

Did you make the putt? Score on the hole?

Yes I did, birdie 3

I finished birdie birdie though! Knocked an 8 iron into the par 3 8th. Felt incredible.

Good job Spracne. That is why you play the game!

Cypress Ridge. Fantastic course. 20 dollar 18 and cart twilight is fantastic. Will play more.
yes, lets!
-
Those greens are terrible
-
only 2 birdies? seems to me that you need to spend more time at top golf IMHO
-
This is the closest I ever came to a hole in 1. 156 yd par 3. Did not yip the birdie putt :gocho:

-
Did you hit it a million miles in the air? My word.
-
proper divot.
-
More speaking to the ball only being a foot away.
-
It helped that the tee box was slightly elevated, but my swing tends to result in a high launch ball flight. Fun to watch it go high in the air but really sucks hitting into a headwind. I used to be able to hit the low knock down shot but I'm not very good at it anymore.
-
Should a hole in one really count, from 156 out?! ;)
-
I agree and I sent a strongly worded letter to Tom Weiskopf letting him know exactly what I thought of his "design" but the only response I got was a restraining order. I'm like bro you still didn't answer the question
-
:thumbs: Nice shot.

Honest question for all you GolfCats. :ksu:
So for years and years, I played a fade with my driver, fairway woods and long irons, and more often than not I had weak ball striking and sliced it. I've recently started to play the ball with a lot of draw, sometimes even somewhat of a controlled hook, because I feel like I can control the ball way more with striking than any fade/slice. How do you all shape your ball? In a perfect world how would you prefer to shape your ball consistently? Am I just mental or what? TIA.
-
for me i adjust my hands. a lot of people change their feet which is fine just seems harder to me
-
I dont know, shooter. I just try to work on a repeatable swing and hope it goes straight-ish. My shot tends to be a fade, but I can't claim that's by design, and I have no idea how to intentionally shape other ball flights.
-

I have a consistent fade when I use my driver. With most of my other clubs that isn't a problem for me. But my fade is so sure with the drivers that it cuts lots of distance off of otherwise decent drives. Truly frustrating for me. Since changing my grip and hand position is a challenge for me I have to address my stance. I wish I had the answers you seek as well.
-
I worded that wrong, and now that I think about it, it was probably a pretty dumb question that would take a longer explanation of what I meant. For us hackers, you should definitely shape the ball whichever way you can the most consistently, with the most confidence.

i'm kind of in the same boat. i've toyed with a controlled hook a few times, just haven't really perfected it so i haven't stuck to it.
-
A draw looks pretty stud.
Gonna win 'em all!
-
When I'm striking the ball well, I line up my shot straight where I want it to go. At impact it starts off going to the right and then draws back to where I aimed it. It's 100% pure hot sex. My problem is being inconsistent. And with that swing it's easy to overcook it in which case the ball will start out straight and then just duck hook. But man, when striking it well, just hot hot sex.

I don't think I'll be able to join a golf cats outing the rest of the summer. I hope you all get something together and have a great time. My golf will be relegated to weekends and late afternoon/evenings for awhile.

I just finished a short round of nine at western hills. Had some fairly decent play, with a few hiccups. I'm getting better, FAN.
I think you and SDK and kslim should get something planned.

Wildcat Creek:
http://www.wildcatcreekfun.com/outdoor-recreation/driving-range
You hit off mats there.
Stagg Hill and Colbert both have ranges, but I'm pretty sure they'll be more expensive. Colbert allows you to hit off grass if that's important, I don't remember if Stagg is grass or mats.

If you are going to be in Manhattan a while, you should join Wildcat Creek. It cost $35 a month, but you can play golf as much as you want (walking, cart is extra) plus you get free range balls and they have a work out place if you are interested. When I started playing I joined and played 4-5 times a week in the summer. It's a nine hole course with 3 par 4s and 6 par 3s. Lots of different shots and only takes an hour to an hour and a half to play 9. Great deal and will improve your game.

bunter, waks and I all got memberships there specifically for this purpose. their schedules have allowed them to get a lot more use out of it than I, though.

I reserved tee time at 3 for three of us next Tuesday at Western Hills. We have to start on the back nine but can play all 18. We couldn't do eighteen at Berkshire so I opted for WH.

Greenville. No where near the beach. His club is called Cherokee Valley. In pretty good shape and not too busy. 16 is a big drop par three with a crazy view of the mountains.

A few of us had another good day on the golf course yesterday. The weather tried to scare us away, but we stood in the downpour and waited it out. Thanks, fellow golfcats!
-
Had another great evening of golf with a buddy. Weather was beautiful for the course today.
-
So I've been out on the links five times the last two weeks, each time with a different friend or group. Each time is good, but the best is when other GolfCats are there. I'm looking for another outing sometime with other gE-ers.

Dad and I tried out a new course in Leavenworth this weekend. My buddy sold me a set that was too long for him, which was good for me, because my set was way too short. I par'd the first and last hole, but pretty much played bogey gold in between. It was fun.
-
Wacky, that sounds about like my golf game, with a few double bogeys in there. I'm getting better, but am not good.
I'm getting myself a new set of clubs for Christmas. I have no idea what I'll be getting. I'm hoping for some help choosing when the time gets close.
-
That can be fun golf, bud. I was pretty competitive in golf growing up and then I took a break from it. When I got back into it, I would get super frustrated, because I thought I'd be good again. I just strive to play golf that won't embarrass myself now and that I'm keeping up with the rest of the group. It's way more fun that way. :cheers: I feel like I stole this set from my friend. He gave me a full set for only $100. :love:
-
I used to play a great deal. Then gave it up totally. This is my first summer back to really getting out there.
I have considered looking for a used set at a country club somewhere, but don't have those connections. I won't spend a great deal, but I want a decent set.

Go to golf stores that allow you hit clubs, hit everything you can until someone makes you stop, whatever you fall in love with, go online and buy them for a hell of a lot less, like absurdly less if you want to get a year or more backs model.

Thanks for that advice. I'll check here in Topeka and maybe Manattan and the KC area. Not going to start the search until late fall.

Second the online purchase idea. I have older models of my favorite fairway woods. I've grabbed 3, 5, 7 & 9 Tight Lies over the years. Love hitting them. Might have paid $30 a club. Found a couple on eBay and a couple at Walmart. My latest driver was one model year old when I bought it. Think I paid $150 under retail. Bought my irons on a model year closeout at Dicks.
After you buy them, take them to a fitter. They can adjust the club lie for you. It makes a big difference. #clubliesmatter

shot 81 with 7 birdie putts at the lake yesterday, so frustrating.

That's a great round anyway. Congrats.

Golf is fun. I made an eagle on Monday. Also 2 double bogeys and 4 regular old bogeys.

Work golf today! Love working for a sales organization.

Shawnee County Country Club recently joined Great Life. Not a bad course at all imho. I played it a few weeks ago. However, it is in the hood of Topeka. It is right across the street from The High Crest neighborhood.
In other news I'll be playing the old Abilene Country Club on Thursday. Plan to get beat pretty badly by WW.

If you live near a ClubCorp facility and you golf, then you should become a member of the ClubCorp facility.

How is that course? I have considered playing there a couple of times, but have never made the trek.

Abilene CC looks good. Fairways/rough are decent, around the green and the greens are very good. Similar to Western Hills by comparision I'd say for Canary.
Chisholm Trail is really rough this year. They only have water on tees and around greens, so the rough/fairways are about what they usually are, but something happened to the greens over the winter and they started the spring in really bad shape and have never recovered. Hopefully they get them fixed for next year.
Junction City CC traditionally is worse than either one, but this year the greens are decent. Fairways/rough also don't have regular water.
Both JCCC and ACC are only 9 hole courses, FWIW.

Just finished another 18 with my sister this morning. My game summary: birdie on the first hole, triple bogie on the eighteenth. Had a 38 going into the last hole on the back nine. That hole ruined the entire game. Not really, it was just good to be out today. The weather is great for golf.

Looking forward to the cool front pushing through here. Planning 18 tomorrow afternoon in northern Indiana.

In Topeka.

Canary - would love to play today but already have plans to go on a bike ride with my dad.
SDK - if after this bike ride I'm able to walk without wincing then I'm down for Monday evening! Otherwise any of those other dates you mentioned work for me.
Canary if you are available anytime this week I can probably be there. I'm gunna be around the next couple weeks
-
I can make late afternoons Tuesday and Wednesday and Friday. Possibly Monday.
I'm taking a bike ride out today as well. Enjoy your ride.
-
Alright. Just let me know about tomorrow you two. Otherwise, let's plan on next Sunday, say around 1 or 2?
_FAN? kslim? Wanna make it a 5some next Sunday?
-
I'd like to join you two tomorrow, but I can't be ready before a 4:45 tee time. If that's too late, you guys just go without me. If not, just let me know where to be. I will try to get out of the office right at or a bit before 4:00. I am definitely in for next Sunday though, and can go at any time.
-
Would one of you let me know if I should plan on a game? That will determine my afternoon scheduling at work.
-
Sure. I'll let you know when I know.
-
Sure

Sure
Great. Looking forward to it.

Legs did not fall off after bike ride, so i can play Monday if anyone wants to
-
I can play anytime after 4 in the Topeka area. Preferably Western Hills, Berkshire, or Lake Perry.
-
I hate to hold you all up. I couldn't be to Perry until at least 5, and the two in Topeka at about 4:45. It's cool if you just want to go without me. I will plan to play Sunday regardless.
-
I'll leave it up to you SDK. Western Hills (or any of the others) this afternoon works fine for me. Or if you'd rather wait til Sunday that's fine too!
-
I'm in for Sunday either way. It's really up to you Big Apple Cat and whether or not you want to make two trips to Topeka. If we play today, I'd vote for Western Hills at 445. Would only leave time for 9 most likely. Planning on 18 for Sunday at Berkshire, Perry, or I'd love to play Cypress Ridge again.
-
Side note, I played Shawnee Country Club last week. It was the worst kept course I have played in Topeka and that includes Prairie View.
-
Right on. Let's do 4:45 at western hills
-
Alright. I look forward to it. :D
-
Closest tee time i could get was 442. I made it for 18.
-
I will plan to be there by about 4:30.
-
Just got here. White polo and all blue mets hat. Looking forward to meeting you guys IRL!
-
I took a nap. Overslept. I'll be there right at tee time. Black Polo, beard on fleek, hipster glasses
-
As keeping with g.E norms. A very handsome and good smelling round of golf was had today. :D

Planning on a Sunday afternoon round at Cypress Ridge in Topeka. Canary and I are in. Post here if interested and I'll secure a tee time.
im in just give me a time you guys are looking at.
I'll shoot for around 2 oclock. I'll say it's for a party of five (those with living parents still welcome.)

Could be either 2 or 3. I like thai, I like pie, and I don't know how I feel about the dying part.

Any new takers on the Sunday game at Cypress Ridge?

SdK, ks lim, and Big Apple Cat, I have us booked at Cypress Ridge for 1:28 Sunday afternoon. Anyone else that wants to join us just call and book a time near then. I'm looking forward to it.

Can't wait to play thar course!

I know you guys are checking your phones. Somebody take a pic of the foursome. Have the four of you looking away from the camera.
Gonna win 'em all!

Actually I did not look at my phone much at all. :D
-
Anyway, I'm glad I created this thread. Spending time with the likes of Canary, FAN, BigAppleCat, and kslim has been a delight. All are attractive, good smelling, jovial chaps and I dig that.
Planning on Berkshire this coming Sunday and Cypress Ridge the Sunday after. Post ITT if you would like have a great time hitting balls around in the gorgeous state of KS with irl buds either of those dates.
-
Played like crap but had a blast thank you again for the invite canary and sdk. Im down to play again any time im free

Terrible golf on my part, but still the best day of my life so far. Looking forward to another outing sometime.

I only answered one work related text. Otherwise didn't use my phone at all. There was no need. I was having a great time with the company with whom I golfed. The rest could wait.
-
Lol

Does this thread no longer deliver, dobber?
-
Oh no, it delivers. I just like some of the pics that get displayed in the unread portion of Tapatalk. An unidentifiable pic of you studs golfing would have made me smile every time this thread gets bumped.
Gonna win 'em all!

I took a couple of pics. Will not post without permission

I prefer anonymity if that's okay.
-
Absolutely
-
But I have to say that meeting kslim and _Fan, and BigAppleCat this summer has been a great pleasure.
-
And didn't mean to leave Winters out. A pleasure to meet him as well.
-
Anonymity is great. My suggestion was to help you keep your anonymity. I just wish I could golf with you guys once!

Obstacles? Would welcome that opportunity. I'm a true hack at golf, but have enjoyed almost every single time I've been out there this spring and summer. Looking forward to a bunch more this fall.

Iced cold gatorade or Pepsi on ice. And then hitting the ball straight ahead and with good distance. And none of that usually happens when I am on the links.

I'm in for Berkshire Sunday afternoon around 2.

I had a dream just now about this these kslim golf pics. It involved the pakhead in its intended role.

what good is it if you cant share it with someone? do you just buy yourself drinks until you pass out?
-
I agree it would be better with someone there. But I don't mind celebrating things alone
-
2:08 Berkshire Hathaway Golf Course. Party of 4.
-
I'll plan to be there. If you get more than 4 I'll step out.
-
We'll just make another tee time after.
-

Canary is the coolest cat on this board. (Steve Dave excluded, of course.)

Well yeah, nobody is close to Steve Dave, but second place is pretty great!
-
Celebrating anything, let alone a hole in one, by yourself, sounds awful.
-
I wasn't cool back when being cool was important to me. Now I don't care about that at all.
-
Celebrating anything, let alone a hole in one, by yourself, sounds awful.
Again, it's nice to celebrate with others, but I don't validate my accomplishments by what others think.
-
Celebrating anything, let alone a hole in one, by yourself, sounds awful.
That is pretty said. If I were golfing by myself and I hit a hole in one, I would :billdance: my ass off. Then, when I was with my friends, I would tell them about it, and being the awesome friends they are, they would say I was full of crap.
...just kidding, they would :billdance: with me!
-
Well, fortunately Sundance is letting me play with him. He will be my witness this Sunday.
-
I love to play golf by myself, especially walking 9 or 18. To get a hole and one would still be fun as well. Playing with others is fun too, unfortunately I can't make it weekend.
-
We will get another round in with you this winter on a great unexpected warm day, FAN
-
11:04 tee time on Monday if any of you DFW Cats would like to play. Green fees are half price if you book online. Playing with a coworker. So room for two more in the foursome.

Pub crawl afterward with a Navy buddy in Roanoke.
-
Anyone for today in or around Topeka?
-
Sure lets do this.
-
Sure lets do this.
Thanks. It's a little late. :)
-
I never received trim's golf clubs, sorry
-
Sad story.
-
It was my fault
-
Well if you ever want to play, just let me know.
-
I love golfing by myself. I also love golfing with others. But, realizing you suddenly have a few free hours and availing yourself to a last minute solo golf round is a great way to clear your head and defragment the ol' harddrive, as it were.

Exactly that. I like the solitude sometimes. Especially when I don't want to go for a run, I will just hit the links alone. I prefer having a partner, but don't mind going it alone either.

That's what she said

That crossed my mind as I typed. True, true, true!

Another benefit to sologolfing: You can cheat your ass off.

Some of the best days of my summer have been on the course. I'm looking forward to more this fall.
-
my friend and i played a 2 man scramble yesterday. we finished -6 after going -4 on the first 6 holes. we were green side after 2 shots on back to back par 5s and couldnt get up and down. frustrating, but the winner was also -12.
frustrating part was all of the par 3s were 120-130 yards since we played from the front tees. i almost never hit a 120 yard shot, so my distances were always a bit off. we pared 4/4 par 3s.

Why are you playing golf in a bean field?

are those beans Garst, Taylor or Pioneer?

AA ruined my dfw golf plans. Cancelled flights and lost luggage. I drank beer and toured Jerry's World.
Still no luggage.
-
I quit traveling with luggage. If I can't get everything into a carry on bag I don't take it.
Sorry about the golf plans.
-
AA is forcing gate check instead of valet check.
-
Fall golf is pretty great, but I rarely get to play in the fall.
-
fall golf is best golf. 55 to 60 degrees, light jacket, leaves all turnt. WOW!

I am sadly disappointed that neither BigAppleCat nor SdK reported here on a great day of golf at Cypress Ridge yesterday. It seems like I always have to do the heavy lifting with that group.
Anyway, I am looking for a round next Sunday, either at Berkshire or Western Hills. Kslim, you need to join in.
-
Wolf creek was extremely fun. Too far south to actually try and join but the course was in great shape and was a great layout. All men's club that does golf very well.

185thish and in between 35/69. In the middle of nowhere and it's been there for 40 years. In the 80s it had to have been so far from everything.

Got a bunch of Nike golf apparel this year. Awesome

I got the Scotty Cameron x7. I'm super stoked.
Its waiting for me in America though :frown:

Dilemma. Go to Manhattan for the game Saturday afternoon or try to get 18 holes of golf in while its 60+ degrees. Should be a great January day either way.
-
I'm going to try and get 9 in tomorrow. I vote you get 18 in Saturday. See ya at WH.

I'm going to go to the game. I like the idea of golfing, but with the snow melt around here its going to be really sloppy. I don't think you guys got as much snow though.
-
Enjoy.
-
if you aren't tied up that you can golf on a 60 degree Kansas winter day, you do it. the dilemma should only be weather to play 18 or 27, not whether to watch a shitty basketball game.

I am going to the game. I want to do that. And I don't think we've had near the amount of snow you all have. If the basketball game was here I could do both. I may only get nine in when I get back from Manhattan.
That would be a fun Saturday though, basketball and golf. I'd like to try to golf at least once each month this year. Then my usual spring and summer several times a week.

18 is too much but 9 is not enough. somebody should start making 13/14 hole golf courses and the sport would explode.

When we play well we are fun to watch. I didn't get to watch, but I wish I could have seen last Saturday's OSU game. I think we'll play well and beat Ole Miss Saturday and I will enjoy it. I don't hate oscar personally and I don't let my disappointment with this season get in the way of enjoying games when we play well. And I believe this team is capable of playing well.

Agreed. I know we can play well, and then the games are a lot of fun for me. And knowing they have played good basketball against some very good teams leaves me wanting to watch. I want to see that again.
I'll look for you Saturday.

if you aren't tied up that you can golf on a 60 degree Kansas winter day, you do it. the dilemma should only be weather to play 18 or 27, not whether to watch a shitty basketball game.
I hear you. But I pay a bunch for tickets each year. Want to use them when I can.

All you golfcats, get out there this weekend. I heard a bit of snow next week, but a great weekend before that. I hope to play twice this weekend.

I've been out 4 times this year and I've been absolutely dreadful. Catholic Charity tournament is this upcoming Monday at Lake Quiviria. It's the toughest course I've ever played on too. :( Like, if you miss the fairway, you're eff'd
-
I have played a few times. It feels great to be out there. My schedule frees up a bunch starting next week, so I am hoping for four or five rounds a week.
I have never played Lake Quivera, but have enjoyed the country club there several times.

I am playing golf with SdK today at Cypress Ridge. I love the course and the fact that is across the street from my neighborhood makes it even better.

My wife has zero interest in hitting a golf ball or shooting a gun. My kids would go with me, and I have considered taking them out, but that would not be with my gE friends when they come down to golf.

Definitely.
The problem is I gave up great life and joined Rolling Meadows instead. I can play any of the Sunflower Golf Trail courses for only $25, but I don't believe there is on in Topeka. Regardless, we will definitely get out this summer.

Also, a friend of mine won some golf auctions and we are playing Flint Hills National and Prairie Dunes this weekend. :excited: :billdance:

I'd like us to get out on the links together this summer at least once, kslim. Maybe we will only be able to connect schedules once a year, but I'd like that.

yeah, always regretted never picking it up when younger and said eff it. after a half dozen pounders with some other people that suck makes it way less intimidating.

At this time I have nothing planned for the weekend, except for early Sunday morning for an hour or so. If you can get some others to play, that would be great. I am in either way and either day. Just let me know.

Any chance it works out today or tomorrow?

I'm out this weekend, hopefully another one will work later.

Feel free to predict the scramble score of Canary and I at Western Hills today. 18 holes.

Oh I don't plan on doing it all the time. I tried yellow once for fun. Would like to do the same with blue.

Played off blues 2 tournaments ago on a mountain course. One hole was 240 yards just to get on the fairway. I barely made it.
Tournament yesterday was super tough. I was by far the best player on my team which does not bode well. Hit a 76, taking almost everyone of my drives and fairway shots.

Anyone ever try 1 plane Moe Norman-ish golf swing? I tried it recently and got to the point of hitting lasers but every so often I'd lose the feeling and hit some huge pushes and pull hooks. Interesting stuff though would recommend trying, though it really threw off my normal swing.

Looking for 2 players to complete our foursome (wife and myself) this Saturday, 7/23, in Hiawatha. Playing in a tournament to support Highland Football. Tee time TBD later this week could be 8AM or 1PM. Message me if interested.

I am not very good, let me say that. I also work til 2 am in Topeka. If later this week you are still looking and I can make the tee time, I'd be in.

Mrs Wacky and I hit up the Parkville Putt putt course this last Saturday. I was able to fight off the heat and score 2 over after a 18 hole round. I'm thinking about going pro now.

August 6th, Canary, SdK BIL, and I will be hitting up Colbert Hills for my birthday. Anyone else interested let me know itt and I'll work out a tee time. It'd be a lot of fun to have a large group or a couple groups that can switch it up after the front 9.

I am looking for some golf partners for either Saturday or Sunday of this coming weekend. I haven't played as much as I would have thought I would and really want to get some time in before my work schedule gets more hectic. I would be willing to travel as well, but the Topeka area is always good for me.
kslim, _fan, sdk - anyone else? I just want to get out on the links.

I have not played there, but a friend of mine has. He really likes the course and the way they treat their guests. That sounds like a great birthday for your dad. And I enjoy the gambling end of things there always.
I think SdK and his brother-in-law and I are playing in Manhattan for his birthday in a couple of weeks.

Just finished a round here in Topeka. Moved pretty quickly until I had to wait on two groups the last three holes. It was nice and relaxing. Not good golf on five holes, and very decent for me on four of them. Got wet with the rain a couple of times. Looking forward to another round tomorrow.

Sounds like you played some very well. Nice to hear.
-
This is hilarious in so many ways.. at a pretty damn nice course here in Colorado of all places

My favorite part is how quickly tempers cool. That was Wacky and I's last e-skirmish on video.
-
Yeah, nice to see both parties get over themselves real quickly. Alpha on Alpha will do that to ya.
Update:
Shot +5 on 9 holes on Sunday. I actually par'd on 6 holes and just did poorly on 3. :) It was a fun run.
On Monday, my group shot 10 under through 18 at Lake Quivira. We had some ringers on the team. Fun to see some golfers really pound it out there. I definitely contributed on some par 3 shots and putts. It was a really fun day. 18 under won the tournament tho.
:sdeek:
-
Sounds great, WC! Glad it was a good time for you.
SdK was generous and invited me to join him, his family and a friend at a golf outing tomorrow at Colbert Hills. I am looking forward to finally seeing that course, and to celebrating SdK's birthday. Glad to be included in the festivities.
-
:thumbs: Have fun! Clean those clubs tonight. Dad says he always plays better when he cleans his clubs the night before. Helps him psychologically and stuff.

Funny you should say that. We went to the driving range earlier in the week. SdK and I talked about needing to clean my clubs before Saturday. I intend to do that tonight. (And sometimes SdK treats me like I am old enough to be his dad...and irl I am.)
-
Feel free to drop mine in the bucket of vinegar water too! Just the irons though!

What a great day on the course yesterday. The weather was great and the foursome SdK put together was stellar. Colbert Hills is a difficult course but it was a great way to celebrate SdK's birthday. Dinner afterwards was great as well.
Anybody who hasn't played that course, I would recommend. But would also recommend taking lots of golf balls. I lost a ton.
-
I lost 18 balls!
-
Also, a truly beautiful and challenging course. Lots of triple bogeys and a par or two. We played off the purple tees.
-
Detch23 and SdK bro in law did fairly well. Canary and I did what we do.
-
What's your lowest score from the men's tees? What course was it at?
-
How is there not a goEMAW scramble tournament, I mean who the hell runs this place anyway?

Almost like someone has suggested that in the past........maybe it was....oh yeah it was me!
-
What's your lowest score from the men's tees? What course was it at?
I think detch23 from the purple tees shot a 84? Maybe an 86.
-

For me? Probably an 88 at Western Hills. Something around there.
-
Personal best are a lot of fun regardless of score. :cheers:
-
A good round for me is just south of bogey golf. Last summer it was south of double bogey. Progress.
-
I have never played golf in my life. That's right. Never. But the opportunity is coming up at a bachelor party.
1. Should I play?
2. I have 2 weeks. What should I do? Go to the driving range and hit balls? How many? How far should I hit them?
TIA
-
that was me like two months ago!
1. yes
2. yeah
it's fun even if you can barely hit the ball with the right squad
-
do i need to buy new shoes/pants etc?
-
lol no
-
like, regular sneakers are ok?

where are you playing?
-
i don't know. a golf course
-
i don't know. a golf course
You'll appreciate a dri-fit material polo if you don't have one. Shorts without cargo pockets is safest; sometimes you'll run into a no-cargo dress code at certain courses. I've survived playing ~6 times per year for the last 3 years without spikes. But i've heard it helps!
Playing Falcon Lakes this Friday for a bachelor party.
-
You'll be fine.
-
:D
-
A. Nobody cares have w good you are, they need companionship on this ride. B. Don't try too hard to catch up with the ringers, they get it, they've been there. C. Have a couple beers to get loose and don't look back. D. Have fun! It's better than work either way.
-
What if I get a hole in one on my first shot
-
Buy a beer for everyone in the clubhouse to celebrate!
-
Also, you will likely make it with a 3 wood from 145 yards, when people ask, tell'em you hit pitching wedge cuz that's what your typical boss would hit.
-
SdK BIL won his golf tournament this past Monday. Had Lon Kruger on his team.

I can't believe he traded us out for Kruger. What was he thinking!
-
Me either. Smh.
Canary and I are playing the par three twice today around noon at Colbert. I may end up playing 18 on the course after the price drops if anyone has interest.

What's the wager today, SdK? Just bring enough $$$ to cover your losses.
-
A dollar a hole. So ill be bringing nothing. You'll probably need to bring 2 dollars for your losses.

You guys are really giving each other the business

I'll let Canary post the scorecard if he wants.
-
There is a 4 man scramble coming up on September 11th at colbert. 65 dollars per person. Includes 18 holes, cart, range balls, and dinner. 930 shotgun start. Figured I'd let you golfcats know.
-
I'm pretty sure I've got a team already.
-
SdK, Canary, detch23, and SdK BIL have reserved a spot. Get yourself a team and come challenge us.
-
I'll let Canary post the scorecard if he wants.
You kicked my ass fair and square today. Not posting the score card because I haven't even unpacked the car yet. Congrats, SdK. Don't get used to winning!
We will be playing again next weekend. I'll get my chance to win then.
-
Hahaha we will see.
-
My dad shot a 64 today. Completely overshadowed my 76.
-
Hahahah wow. Where did you play? On a good day I only play bogey golf.
-
Falcon Ridge. Kind of our go to course for Sunday golf.
-
Looks nice. May have to drive up and play it. I'll post a 92 and you can feel great about your score
-
It's a pretty good course. Very playable.
-
My dad shot a 64 today. Completely overshadowed my 76.
That's a great day for both. Glad you got to get out and play with your dad. I'd be really happy with a 76 anytime.
-
so golf is pretty hard huh
-
Hahahah yes
-
I'm brand new so I've just done the JR Par 3 course at OP a couple times. I 6 putted a hole today. :frown:
-
Just tap it in, cf3.

I used to play a lot when I was younger. The last two years SdK and I have started playing, less this year than last. Cf3, I hope you have a great time with the sport. Bad shots are always a part of the game, but the good shots keep you coming back. Enjoy the sport.
-
CF3, let's play. You, me, fan, canary, wacky, and kslim
-
I'm in. Might be spring though. I'm gonna try and get out there once a week or so on the Par 3 for the rest of the fall and hit a bucket of balls each time.

I have an old set that you can have if you want. I would be glad for someone to use them, so just let me know. They are in a bag and you could have that too.

I have two sets you can choose from. will not deliver tho. What I'm basically saying is for a trip to come drink beers with me at Central Standard you could leave not only spiritually richer but also with a gently used full set of clubs and a bag!

Guys. Let's make this happen. It can be a fundraiser for Fatty.
-

Don't hold back because you are just starting out. I am not a good golfer, but just enjoy the fall and spring especially to get out and golf with others. I am willing to head that direction for a round, even at the par 3, and I am willing to be SdK would come over as well.
-
Anyone up for a round or two this weekend, either Saturday afternoon/evening or Monday whenever? I have a family event Sunday in Wichita for a couple of hours, so won't be available that day until after 4:30 or so. But I would really enjoy some time out on the links with other gE-ers.
SdK, you had better be out there at least once this weekend. We have to get ready for the tournament next Sunday at Colbert Hills.
-
I'll be there one if not both days. Tomorrow before the night games perhaps.

Our team is crashing my mom's place the night before and I'm so excited.

Played Saturday and today. Playing really well right now, 72 on Sat at overland park (pud course) and a 79 today at iron horse, which is usually an 85+ course for me. Have spent most of the summer working on 25 yards and in. Improved putting alone has saved me about 5-8 strokes per round.

Sounds great, KFCD. I don't work on my game, and when I play I remind myself that I should.

Even 20-30 minutes a week putting a few balls makes a huge difference.
Having two cousins that play on the web.com tour and being the only male to not play in college for the last two generations gives me a lot of motivation. My grandpa played for Yale, two uncles played for Wisconsin, one for Arizona, one for Kentucky, and my dad played for Purdue. One cousin played for Illinois, one for western Illinois, and one for Maryland.
I'm by far the worst golfer in my family, and I'm a 6 handicap. Our annual family tournament is at the end of September and I'm determined to not come in last this year.

My family golf history is nothing similar to yours. We are more baseball-oriented from childhood. My brothers and I started playing golf when our father was diagnosed with cancer. We were all young then. He wanted us to start doing activities that raised money for cancer and other medical issue research efforts. So several of us started golfing in charity tournaments. None is very good, but a few of us grew to like the game. So I play now because it feels great to be outside doing an activity I love with friends and family. I will give the true practice a chance this fall.

Kicked lake Quivira sass today. My driver is kinda weird right now, but my irons are hot. Played par gold until hole 6 and then things got a little interesting.

Thanks, KCFDcat. I hope you hit your goal and beat a few in the family at the event.
I am really looking forward to Sunday at Colbert Hill in Manhattan with SdK, his brother-in-law and a college roommate of his. Should be a great time.

Very similar to mine as anyone who has golfed with me can attest.

Had the grips replaced on my clubs. Getting a new glove this afternoon. And then Colbert Hills in the morning for a tourney with buds.
-
Let me know how the new grips effect your game. I'm intrigued. My game changed this year when I finally got a glove and some shoes.

Isn't it sort of the nature of golf gloves that they wear out and are disposable?

They didn't wear out so much. The grips got very sticky with something black and greasy that stained the gloves and whatever clothes I was wearing. That also seemed to rub off on the other clubs. The gloves themselves were very sticky all over.

SdK got the best of me today. It was cloudy and breezy, but not a bad day to play. I am hoping to get back out there tomorrow.

Surely someone out here in gE land is willing to get out on the links some this fall. I am looking for some golf buds before the weather keeps me away.

Awesome day for it. And a decent score card. Glad someone made it out there today. My first opportunity this week will be Friday, and I hope to be out there for a decent part of the day. Then maybe Saturday after the Cats game; possibly Sunday as well.
Hope the rest of your round went well, SdK.

Ok, everyone's next round, write* your scores with your opposite hand like SDK did on hole 3.
We can post them here.

I enjoyed eight holes of golf before SdK came from behind to beat me on the ninth. He doesn't stand a chance the next time.

really, because it sounds like he whips your ass ever-y-time

I am taking Thursday off of work to golf. I haven't golfed since August. The fall is always rough on my golf game.

I know it is 28 degrees here today. I have a cold. I am trying to be productive at work. I still have five more hours at work. That all being said, I am planning to golf my butt off this spring and summer. I am looking for any others on here who want to spend an afternoon or evening watching me hack my way around the links throughout the golf season. It is early, but I just want to know if I will be setting tee times for one or for more. I will travel or meet folks here in the Topeka area.
-
i should have more time this year to meet you folks on the links
-
Thank goodness! I wish there was enough interest to set up a little gE scramble tourney.
-
i should have more time this year to meet you folks on the links
That would be great. SdK and I talked about how much we enjoyed the time you joined us. I hope I can drag him out more this summer as well.

Good and logical changes IMO. http://www.golfchannel.com/news/collection/proposed-rules-golf/?cid=twitter-gc-a-proposed-rules-golf-030117
Also, my ability to golf has increased a bit. I need to get out.
-
I am the owner of 3 new (to me) hybrids. They are Top Flite. I'm excited to get out and try them this weekend.
SdK BIL family is having a garage sale and i helped set up. Saw these three clubs sitting in a bag and asked how much. SdK bil sd said they were mine. I'm jazzed. Go Cats.
-
Even at them being TopFlite, they will be tied for second most expensive clubs in my bag. :D
-
Good score, SDK. Love getting new (to you) clubs and being excited to hit/play them.
Gonna hit the range tomorrow myself, and have a round with a good group of coworkers Sunday afternoon. Should be a fun weekend.
-
Yeah I can't wait to try them out.
Well 3 hybrids turned into 3 hybrids, new bag, 3 irons and 3 woods, and four polos. Yowza. BIL fan is very generous.
I'll damn near have a second set of clubs now.
-
Meh. Love the hybrids though.

VP of my group calls me into his office as I casually stroll in at 9:15 this morning. Looks me in the eye and says, "have you looked at your email this morning?" and I say "naw, didn't log in from home and haven't went in my office yet." He says, "well, you need to go look at it and come back in here."
As I questionably crap my pants thinking I'm getting fired, I unlock my computer, check my email and see he sent me his scorecard from last night. He got a hole in one on a 150 yarder and wanted to talk about it.
I go back in there shortly after I dab the sweat off my forehead and we talk about the shot. Pretty cool, his second one.
Anyway, gonna be beautiful here in CO today so we're all dipping out this afternoon and getting a round in. Hope y'all get to enjoy one or two this weekend as well.

I have a tournament with the fam tomorrow in the beautiful flint hills of Wabaunsee lake. My grandpa helped fundraise and design the course. My dad's really good and my cousin plays at Baker. We should have a decent shot. Grandpa can barely get to the tee box without his cane. :( He's a good putter tho.

Was gifted a driver and 3 wood from the brother in law yesterday. Going to try them out with Canary this evening.

Great story Shooter. Enjoy!

Awesome Wacky. Enjoy!

Will do. Tell us how the new gifts work out. :thumbs:

45 on 9 is better than being at work. :)

It was a great way to finish the work week. I am challenging SdK to another round this weekend. But not if it gets in the way of going to the soccer game in KC Sunday.

It's a match, Canary. Jfc.

Yes. It's a nice ancillary perk of having a brother in law from a family that has decent money and similar interests. I get his year old clubs and soccer attire. As well as jeans that no longer fit. He's one size larger than me.
Also, he's probably the best person aside from family that I've ever met in my life. I'm blessed.

Just read up on that driver and was taken aback at the price it was brand new. If any golfcats want to join me for a round or at the range and help me tune it up, id buy you a coke. Haha :D

Sounds like a plan. The weekend of the 23rd, I'll be playing somewhere in Manhattan. I'll post more details as it nears. Not sure how many as of yet. Anywhere from 2 to 4.

My irons, fair way 3 wood, and chipping (I usually really suck at this) were amazing yesterday. However, for some reason, I couldn't drive the ball to save my life and I kept 3 putting when I had par opportunities. :curse: Overall: Not a bad first outing. :cheers:

Is there a difference between drinking and driving during the week vs weekend?
-
No, but most ppl make plans to uber during the weekend. I've seen too many friends get busted for having a few beers at the kickball field on a Wednesday night and drive home. That's why i'm over beer softball leagues and kickball. Not worth it. Obviously you can just not drink, but it takes the fun out of it when everyone is doing it.

I need to get into golf (excuse to drink maybe?). I have a set of clubs that were gifted to me. have never swung them. probably an incorrect length but maybe not. I've played 2 or 3 times in the last 6 years and generally suck (bad slice). No clubs ever fit because I'm 6'2" but have t-rex arms so I need longer than normal clubs for someone my height and have always played with short clubs borrowed from people shorter than me.

yup just let me know
-
Would assume that is the measurement for the 9-iron or a wedge, as 36.25 is the shortest club and that's the standard length for those clubs.. each club is a half inch longer beyond until the long irons are in the 40's.
Sounds like they're standard length or shorter, wacky.

found an interesting swing on youtube worth trying, called the channel lock swing. from what i gathered the differences between this and a normal swing is:
- open your stance but have your shoulders aimed at your target
- ball way back
- legs upright and stand closer to the ball
- don't let your wrists rotate on the backswing
- backswing is lower/flatter/shorter
went to the range with a bastardized version of it, and had trouble getting it all together. but near the end it clicked and hit it perfect on like my last 8 of 10 shots. did way better with it than when i tried moe norman's swing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFbHD4dRRB4&ab_channel=GravesGolfAcademy) for a while.
the benefits over a normal swing is that it's supposedly much more simple and repeatable. guys who become good at it hit it dead straight/slight draw over and over, and it's impressive to watch:

have another good one for you. mysterious guy im just finding out about, goes by the name of count yog. could have been the best ever but was banned from the tour because of racism and his swing was too good and simple (apparently). shot multiple rounds under 60 when golf clubs were made of wood. beautiful, powerful swing.
speaking of great swings, i've been messing around more with the channel lock and i think it is a huge swing hack. there's some things to remember of course, but if everything comes together i can go on streaks of hitting straight shot after shot. it has made me obsessed about golf again and makes me wonder how good i could get if i practiced a lot more. really think with this swing, a consistent 14/14 fairways and 18/18 greens is possible - the swing is that good. like any other swing though, all things have to click, but it's a lot easier with this one.
-
I mean, the absolute best golfers in the world hit about 10 fairways a round, and less than 14 GIR.
So maybe set the bar a little lower to keep up your enthusiasm and reach some goals.
-
Here in SoCal, there's something called The Player's Club. For $40/month, you get two free buckets of range balls per day (up to 250 balls) at one of five different ranges; you get severely discounted golf at five courses ($5 per round; $10 per round; $20 per round; no higher than $30 I don't think unless mistaken, as long as you play after 3 pm). You get a free golf cart every time you play. You also get a free beverage every time (including beer I believe).
In all my time on earth, I've never encountered a deal that was this good.

holding strong on 14/14, 18/18. i'm planning to get a skytrak and hit a ton of balls a day, see the potential of it. i think that if i could reach 50, maybe 100+ balls straight in a row consistently, those numbers would be possible on the course.

Streb looking good on day 1 out at Pebble. 2 hots off the leader. 4 under for the day.

Cleaned all my clubs today and reorganized my bag. I got a new bag like last year but never really had a set place for everything. It’s all super organized now and clean. Going to go out to the park and work on the short game and get in some steps.

I played at Overland Park on Thursday and it was amazing. 18 minutes between tee times for social distancing. I was playing two balls at a time and just ripping the crap out of the ball. No waiting around for groups in front of you or anything. This would really be the time to take up the game if you’ve been thinking about it for awhile. Nobody’s around to see you suck ass for newbies.

Lady Sykes or St Andrews? I played 36 holes at the ben ji family homestead memorial par 3 course. My brother beat me by a couple of strokes both rounds and tied my course record.
-
St Andrews. This new driver I got is the real deal, bud. You’re in trouble. 😉 I want to play the course you made. Sounds/looks like a blast!
-
Beautiful day to be on the course.

I just had my second lesson today and he’s totally rebuilding my swing and I absolutely hate it. I think it’s going to payoff in the long run, but it feels like I’m totally starting from scratch and I hate it. I need instant gratification and I have two golf tournaments coming up. This guy knows his crap, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to be shitty for awhile before it all comes together. He’s a fellow cat, who is amateur status, so he won’t take $ I just buy our bucket of balls and bring a sixer. Ben, you’d kill me right now. I look like a fish out of water.

Played the par 3 course at Sykes/Lady with ole Wacky today over lunch....let's just say I hope he gets everything figured out before his tournament on Monday .
It only took about 1hr and when we finished I was like "holy crap I shot a 37 on 9 holes!"... Then I remembered we played a par 3 course

Classic case of the yips per usual after a great outing the week before. Felt so confident after last Saturday’s outing with the fam. Played out of my mind and then today it looked like I just picked up the game yesterday. Sigh... Ben Ji’s iron shots are a thing of beauty. If he took time practicing his putting game, he’d be lethal af!
-
I literally tee’d off on a hole today and hit a pop up so high, I caught it myself less then a foot out from the tee box mid fly. It was an impressive amount of shittiness that I showed today. I don’t think I could do that again in a million tries. :ROFL:

Can % confirm this happened. It was a 170 yard par 3 and wacky couldn't hit his irons so he decided to hit some hybrid .
Ole wacky is usually much better but he was in his own head today.

Last year was 14 under. So I must have lied last night. :lol: Also, we thought a couple of the par 4's were par 5's, so we adjusted the score. There's a Bubba Watson hole where they play you up 250 yards from the original tee box and let you hit your second shot there. We thought we were hitting our first from there and it was still recorded as a par 5. :frown:

Any golf pro tips? I never played when younger as I was poor. Been really trying this year and while I was def seeing improvement, I have fallen way off the wagon again somehow and can barely hit the rough ridin' ball right now. Like I was working on different things and hitting good shots then, bam... Its enraging. I've always been pretty decent at whatever sport I played or tried, but this crap is hard for me for some reason. I'll take a lesson and get back on track and then it all just goes to crap again. Any pro tips to help me get back on track? Not trying to win or anything, just want to be able to play a round and not rough ridin' hate it.
TIA

ha. Like, I have no intention of ever being "good" at this point, I just want to not chunk 90% of my shots and enjoy the day. I was 100% certain this would be possible with somewhat consistent practice and some lessons. Now I'm seriously considering the fact that this isn't my sport and it may never happen.

Buddy, most of us are hacks. Just being able to make your way around the course without injuring anyone is the goal. Unless, of course, you're Wacky allegedly dominating a Catholic Charities tournament with his in-laws.

The other day I was having a miserable round made worse by actually hitting the ball pretty well earlier in the week. I had basically given up and was just trying to get through 9 so I could get the eff out of there. Hit my drive ok, second shot directly behind a tree in front of the green. I was about to kick it to the side and I thought, eff it, may as well try and get on the green. Nailed 120 yard shot over the tree and within 10 ft. I just laughed because I know it was the head of all golf that was watching and knew I was about to quit so he let me have that last shot so I would come back. eff that guy.

I don't even hit my driver, because I can't (probably need to get fitted). I hit 3-wood at the tee box, instead, because I'm weirdly good with that club. Still, it's nice to be outside and active, so let's just revel in our shittiness together :Woohoo:

Honestly, take lessons. Learn a proper address and swing. Might feel awkward AF at first but will pay dividends in the long run.
Then practice putting and chipping 60-75% of your range time. Most of the balance of time with short irons and minimal time with a driver/3wood.
Also, don't worry about tee box bullshit. Hit from the box on a Par 4 that will allow you to hit 7iron or less into a green. Nobody has fun hitting driver 5iron all day. When you start smacking the ball longer, move back a tee set.
I wish the rest of the golf world would follow that last paragraph. Way too many 100+ golfers swinging from the blues and black when they should be up at the whites or yellows.

This sentence hit me right square in the balls. Holy crap.

What's the average yardage on a regular course par 4? Seems like 400 might even be too high for your average public course. It's basically impossible to hit a modern driver less than 230 if you hit it straight so that's 170 left. I'd say that's 6/7/8 for most non pros.
-
IPA is pretty spot on. Spend most of your practice time putting and chipping as these will be over half of your strokes when you are playing. You can easily practice short chips in your backyard.
Also cut down on how many clubs you use and just get really good with a couple. I use a driver/7iron/W/56Wedge/Putter for about 90% of my shots. 220 yards to the hole after a drive on a par 5 should I bust out my woods or hybrid? Nah, I'll put those in the tree's or doof it, best to just hit a 7 iron 170 yards down the fairway.
-
A couple of years ago I did go through a funk where I just couldn't hit the ball. Driver/Irons/Chipping/putting...all gone. It was like the Monstars had stole all of my golfing ability randomly. I was playing 9 holes after work at heart of america and just up and left in the middle of the 7th hole after losing 12+ balls already.
Took a month off and everything was back to normal.
-
Yeah IPA and Benji are right. So much happens basically 60 yards or less from the hole. Starting out you're going to not hit the green, so you have to chip. You get better scores when you two putt or less, so the better chipping you are the shorter putt you need to make which means more likely chance of two putting or better.
The biggest jumps after is accuracy from distance on the approach, and then lengthening the drive so your approaches are more manageable.
Golf presents itself as driving first cause it is what you do, but you have to think of it in reverse of putt, chip, approach, drive in terms of importance.
-
Just get your swing to where you aren't chunking hardly ever. Chunk shot after chunk shot is one of the most rage inducing things on earth. I don't always hit it straight, I blade some shots, I can't putt very well, but when I don't chunk any shots I probably enjoyed my round and had fun for the most part.
-
in MOST cases, when you're chunkin' it probably means that you are looking up to see where your shot is going to go instead of keeping your head down. Obviously there are exceptions like if the ball is well above or below your feet or if the ground is particularly soft or if your feet slip during your swing, but for the most part you probably just need to keep your head down.
The other thing that will require some introspection...is what do you need to feel satisfied with how you played? Obviously everyone would love to shoot a lower score, but focusing on your score might not be the best use of your time. I know for me, even if my score is total crap, if i can make good contact with the ball, and have good ball flight (like i'm not just duck hooking every shot) and make just a couple putts then i'm pretty happy. I also get enjoyment from NO SELF LIMITATIONS so like, if its a 400 yd par 4 and relatively straight, then yes i should be able to hit a driver off the tee. I realize there is probably an entire moneyball industry for hack golfers where you can be like "so the correct play is 5 iron off the tee, 9 iron, and then you're left with a 30 yard chip shot which will be your best chance at making par."
But that would drive me crazy. I want to use the best club i have in the bag for the given shot.
-
Thanks golf cats. Most of these tips are pretty obvious and I knew most of them. That's what makes golf so hard I guess. The old, "just do that" tips. I KNOW GODDAMMIT!!! Some good ones in here though, thanks. My biggest issue (at least for now) is my grip. I know how to hold the club. I know how i'm supposed to hold the club, but the interlocking grip just doesn't feel right for me and it makes my right hand slip way under. When my hands are uncomfortable, I start hitting really bad shots. Just not hitting the face. As I mentioned yesterday, I was doing pretty well, then the past few rounds went to complete crap. Went to the range at lunch and spent 45 min and prob didn't hit one "clean" shot. It was rage inducing. Went back last night and switched my grip to just putting my pinky on top as opposed to locking and hit the ball way better. I know I just need to pick one and stick with it and I think that is what its going to be.
Also, I get that I need to work chipping and putting more. That always made sense to me and I agree, but the course I play is long as eff. If you don't hit at decent drive, you are going to have a bad time. I actually hit the 3w decent so my second shots aren't always terrible, but I also agree with Benji and I should prob just bang my 6 or 7 as opposed the more often than not chunk or chase 3w shot.
-
Ya know what another common reason for chunkin is not keeping your weight back during your swing. Last time I took lessons the dude gave me a drill where I tee up a ball like I’m going to hit driver but then just use your 7 iron. Address the ball like your normal would but then just put your toe down on your front foot (since I’m right handed that’s my left foot). It feels weird asf, but just hitting off your right foot is a good drill for helping you keep your weight back.
Next time you’re at the range try hitting 10 shots just off your back leg and then see if that does anything for you

I'm no golf pro, but I think this is the exact opposite of what you should do.
The golf swing is about weight transfer, back foot during back swing, front foot during down swing. The downswing is the biggest issue for high handicappers and having poor/late weight transfer is what causes fat shots and most likely a slice. Being on your back foot will lose tons of distance and almost always keep the club face open, not matter the club.
I think I'd practice only standing on your front foot with swings at the range.

Oh, yeah, maybe it was front foot you’re supposed to stand on instead of back. It’s been a minute since I last did that drill. Thanks Shooter!

SF try both and report back ITT (jk I think shooter is correct it’s keep your weight on the front leg for that drill)

This is why I enjoy playing alone if possible, lol. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. If I play with people who are better than I am, I sometimes get nervous, and that results in more crap shots, followed by unsolicited "tips."
Still, there will inevitably be a hole or two where I stick the approach within 5 feet and drain the putt. That's what keeps you coming back for more punishment. Golf, for me, is an exercise in Stoicism.

Guess I’m blessed that it’s been such a long time since my swing needed fixing that I’ve completely forgotten the details. When you have a pure paragon of a swing it frees you up to focus on other stuff (like in my case my abysmal short game)

yep, I actually played 18 by myself last weekend. Enjoyed it. 18 was a bit of a haul by myself so i'll prob stop at 9 if I'm solo going forward but it was still peaceful. However, I'm such a rough ridin' lunatic that I had it in my brain that I was going to score better since I had been hitting the ball well that I still made myself nervous even by myself!!! The guys I play with are pretty good, but its fine. They don't give a crap that I'm terrible. I make sure that I never hold them up in any way. I'll pick up my ball if things get bad so I don't hold anyone up. I sort of just play in the background for the most part.
Also, need to take Benji's advice and just stop going for a bit. Went back today and i'm still a rough ridin' mess. Another 45 minutes of awkward swings and crap shots. I have no idea how I went completely off the rails and its infuriating. I was really improving and having fun and it all just stopped and now I can't fix anything. :curse: Just need to stop going until my next lesson.

Some good ones in here though, thanks. My biggest issue (at least for now) is my grip. I know how to hold the club. I know how i'm supposed to hold the club, but the interlocking grip just doesn't feel right for me and it makes my right hand slip way under. When my hands are uncomfortable, I start hitting really bad shots. Just not hitting the face. As I mentioned yesterday, I was doing pretty well, then the past few rounds went to complete crap. Went to the range at lunch and spent 45 min and prob didn't hit one "clean" shot. It was rage inducing. Went back last night and switched my grip to just putting my pinky on top as opposed to locking and hit the ball way better. I know I just need to pick one and stick with it and I think that is what its going to be.
Also, I get that I need to work chipping and putting more. That always made sense to me and I agree, but the course I play is long as eff. If you don't hit at decent drive, you are going to have a bad time. I actually hit the 3w decent so my second shots aren't always terrible, but I also agree with Benji and I should prob just bang my 6 or 7 as opposed the more often than not chunk or chase 3w shot.
This is why I enjoy playing alone if possible, lol. The race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself. If I play with people who are better than I am, I sometimes get nervous, and that results in more crap shots, followed by unsolicited "tips."
Still, there will inevitably be a hole or two where I stick the approach within 5 feet and drain the putt. That's what keeps you coming back for more punishment. Golf, for me, is an exercise in Stoicism.
yep, I actually played 18 by myself last weekend. Enjoyed it. 18 was a bit of a haul by myself so i'll prob stop at 9 if I'm solo going forward but it was still peaceful. However, I'm such a rough ridin' lunatic that I had it in my brain that I was going to score better since I had been hitting the ball well that I still made myself nervous even by myself!!! The guys I play with are pretty good, but its fine. They don't give a crap that I'm terrible. I make sure that I never hold them up in any way. I'll pick up my ball if things get bad so I don't hold anyone up. I sort of just play in the background for the most part.
Also, need to take Benji's advice and just stop going for a bit. Went back today and i'm still a rough ridin' mess. Another 45 minutes of awkward swings and crap shots. I have no idea how I went completely off the rails and its infuriating. I was really improving and having fun and it all just stopped and now I can't fix anything. :curse: Just need to stop going until my next lesson.
Maybe club up and only swing 85-90 percent?
This is another pro-tip. Don't try and crush the ball, just focus on having a smooth swing and making contact.
IMO you should never swing more than 90% unless you're just screwing around and want to see how far you can crush it.

I disagree, I think you should swing at the speed that you can be the most consistent/repeatable.
That being said, yes I would agree if you have a situation where you’d have to hit an X iron on the screws or you could choke down and take a nice easy swing with an X-1 iron then yes, you hit the longer club (unless there is a smokin hot filly watching in which case impress the crap out of her with your strength)

Ha, another infuriating point about this stupid game. So I should hit this club this far, but since I rarely ever hit anything perfect, I should club up. rough ridin' crush it directly past the hole and the "correct" club would have been perfect.

Welcome to over swing city.
An easy swing usually takes you right to parallel at the top and you come through right on plane. Crushing the ball.
Personally, I do three quarter swing drills to work on this.
-
My point was a "90%" swing should be your "100%" swing for every joe blow golfer out there. Don't try and crush it every time.

We need a FF Golf Tournament

Got my first birdie of the year and it was pretty lol.
380 yard par 4 with a hill in the middle. I hit a decent drive uphill that went just over the top of the hill under a tree in the rough, probably about 200 yards.
I pull up and it's about 185 to the pin but I can't get any loft since I have a tree above me so I decided to YOLO with a 5 iron punch out shot.
Hit it perfectly and it landed about 30 yards in front of the green before rolling up about 4 ft from the pin.
Nailed the put

I'm going golfing tomorrow guys!

Played 9 last night. It was great. Perfect weather and no one was out there. Still reallyyyyyy struggling with the driver, but hit several other decent iron shots, which is all i'm after as a beginner. I keep waiting to start up lessons because its surely going to get cold again, but it doesn't appear to be happening so maybe I should just start golf season. :dunno:

That's exactly what I did last night with a couple buds and there also was no one else out there. :sdeek:

I played with my kid and it was amazing not having anyone behind or in front. So nice to not be looking behind you or waiting on people in front. Very rare.

As soon as I start to struggle making good contact, chunking or topping, I go Jon Rahm and shorten my backswing with all of my clubs. Keeping the left arm as straight as possible, bring it just to parallel to the ground.

I def do this. My main issue is with my grip/hands. I've only been playing consistently for like 2 years, so I've only recently learned to grip the club properly. It still feels uncomfortable at time and if it does, it is slice city.

Maybe you should have your travel agent schedule lessons.

For me, the best single single swing thought to help with a slice is to keep your right elbow in tight to your right hip (assuming your right handed). Keeps you from swinging over the top.
