how is the shipping with some of these websites? Price and time?
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

Question:
How can I stop sucking at golf without having to embarrass myself practicing at (shudder) public golf courses?  At my current net worth I am exclusively private courses.  The COO of my company is taking me out to golf in a month.  HELP!

Just tell him you've too busy playing polo to really get into the pedestrian game of "golf"


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

Won't work, I said I was allergic to horses to get out the fox hunt (that legally speaking  may or may not have happened).

Hire a professional golfing robot to stand in for you and pretend to be you while hitting hole in one after hole in one and crushing all your competition under it's boot.

Check out tgw.com.  They always have great deals on clubs, clothes and accessories.  Right now, there is a very good deal on G5's from Ping.

The warehouse is in Wichita so you usually receive your order within 2 business days (if you live in Kansas).

Be careful on ebay.  You can get garbage knockoffs from china.  There is actually a place in wichita called The Gold Warehouse that has a good website TGW.com. 

 :surprised:

:driving:

Sounds like you and I are on the same page here.

If you live in KC and since you have the $$, go see Skip at Ironhorse in Leawood for private lessons.  Skip is the best instructor in the midwest.

True story: sddad owns the land next to the sdhometown 9hole.  He is kinda a big rancher type with a busy schedule but, as a hobby, I am encouraging him to put in a driving range for kicks.  The land is currently ignored for the most part.  The closest driving range to sdhometown is an hour drive.  There is a decent golfing community in the area and the local highschools come into sdhometown to practice and junk because we are the best course in an hour drive.  It would def. be a loser financially but worth it imo.

$47 weekend with cart?  I can get on a public course in KC that's twice as good for ~$30.

But yeah, options in Manhattan are limited.  Used to love how cheap Custer and Rolling Meadows were, but takes a while to get there.

The only reason I didn't bail on golf completely during college was the Rolling Meadows twilight fees

Falcon Ridge is my favorite "new style" course in KC, Swope is my favorite old balls course.

The huge fairways make it easier on someone like myself who loves to swing away off the tee box.

810 radio had their first golf tournament there back around 2001.
Steven St John, Jason Whitlock and I were doing shots of tequila at one hole while strippers were racing around the tee box naked.  I think I bet the girls that the first one to circle the tee box 5 times and then do 20 jumping jacks while naked would win $20.  It was quite an afternoon.

I also like the "swing away" fair ways.  I really like Tomahawk in Lenexa for this reason.  Once you play up the hill, the fairways open up nicely.
