The Official Golf Thread

[lifetime fan]

Quite a few of us on here play so I though I'd start a thread for all golf related chat.

I'm hoping to get to play Portrush later this year but also fancy playing Dooks.

 

Anyone else played there?

[VladimirIlyich]

Show off!

Dooks is overrated and way out of the lague of portrush and the likes.

 

If you're going down that way play tralee, waterville or ballybunnion instead.

Cheeky fucker...this is because my passport didn't come through in time for Valencia.

I fucking love golf me, I play off about 8 but because of my kids and my wife I only get to play once a month (if that).

 

This is just not enough for a serious golfing motherfucker like me.

 

I decided 3 years ago that instead of just playing golf for a laugh when I get the chance, to use every round seriously as a way of getting better. So I set myself up a spreadsheet, worked out where I'm losing shots, worked out which areas I needed to strenghten and I've become a proper golfing geek.

 

And it's working, boys, it's fucking working. I may not be playing much but it's slowly doing the trick, I'm actually getting better.

 

Anyone else taken their golf game to geek level?

I played a round this week with a mate who isn't great to say the least.

 

However he used this new TaylorMade 5 wood off the tee most holes and it is the most forgiving club I have ever seen in my life.

 

 

He hit the ball off the heel, off the toe, basically anywhere but out the middle and every single fucking time it went long and straight.

 

If anyone is a mid to high handicapper and they just want to welly the ball straight off the tee get onto this.

 

Absolute bargain for less than a hundred quid.

I'm coming over to Liverpool the 30th of August and I'm staying until 3rd of September and I've been entertaining the idea about playing golf on the Friday if its possible.

 

Are there any golfclubs in the area where its possible to rent a set of clubs for a round and how difficult will it be for me to get there from the city centre?

You`re not saying much to change my mind.

Instead of going away for a long weekend on the piss with mates in Valencia I ended up in Devon with the bird and it pissing down with rain.

 

That cheer you up?

Cracking finish to the Scottish Open.

 

Molinari 2 down with 4 to play.

[Geraghty]

Anyone know any decent books to improve your game?Cheers

[lifetime fan]

Now doesn't that cheer a club golfer up...Alex Noren chipping from off the green and the ball ends up behind him further away from the pin.

[lifetime fan]

Horrible hole from Marc Warren, tied with Molinari now.

[lifetime fan]

Molinari and Jeev Milkha Singh in a play off now.

Try Tom Watson's DVD set (2 dvd's) 'Lessons of a Lifetime'. This addresses every aspect of the game in a very clear manner and would benefit all players no matter what skill level.

Played yesterday after doing lots of traveling in the past couple of months. I had four sixes in a row on the back nine and shot a 78. Very pleased with that after four terrible holes.

Todays Golfer magazine produces some good instructional DVDs.

I'm a member of the Palmilla in Cabo and played with Chad Kroeger and Sammy Hagar (amongst others) a few months ago. I'm a terrible golfist, though. I only got a membership so I could hang around the resort and so the bird can mingle with the celebs to be completely honest.

You live in Mexico?

[moof]

Only part time. My misses works as a teacher in Swansea so I'm there most of the time and work is split between from home in Swansea and in the factory in Maranello. Whenever we get chance I like to spend time in Cabo. Probably 3 months a year in total.

Alright for some hey.

 

Slight difference between Swansea and Mexico.

[moof]

Heh, its not so bad really. Still get to step out of my door straight on to the beach in the morning. The only difference is its raining 90% of the time in Wales... Flying back and forth from Mexico to Italy isn't something I'd fancy all that regularly, either. (gotta try and look at the positives!)
