Does anyone here golf?

[LikeABauce302]

Played 9 hole Lombard Golf Course with LikeABauce302 after work yesterday. Confirmed MG can hit bombs

Facts. Can hit bombs and then duff the approach.

Lombard Golf Course was a fun 9 hole and in great shape. Will definitely play again.

So I ended up playing at Streamwood 9 holes twice now, first round shot a 58, next round shot a 57 next visit I went. I recently went to Schaumburg Golf Course off of Roselle Road. My favorite course I've been to so far. I played 9 holes on a later tee time on a Friday night. Ended up shooting 55 on a super windy day. All I know is that I've been improving every course & round I do, which is a positive for me. I'm starting to develop more ideas of how to place shots, what clubs to use when & what types of shots to make.

For places that don't have nice golf carts, ones with GPS, etc..does anyone use any particular apps on their phone to identify yardages from the pin?

just played Baer and Players at Schaumburg this past sunday. One of my favorites too and its right near me. Well kept course, the greens are nice. I just hate hole 24, a bad slice and you're in Roselle road


If you want even better accuracy, pickup a range finder. I just got this one and its been great.

I joined a gold league at work this year. We play at White Deer Run in Libertyville every week. So far I've played 4 times. Shot 64, 67, 64. Hit the range with a scratch golfer last week and just shot 58. I'm pretty happy with the improvement. I had no double digit holes but did hit an atrocious 8 on a par 3. To offset I hit for par on another hole.

Did he just have a seizure mid-stroke?

That's just how Charles Barkley used to swing. I think I heard he doesn't does that any more.

I use The Grint to track my scores. It has GPS and satellite images built in with yardages I use to see bunkers, front of green etc. It will give you yardage to the center of the green cause it doesn’t know where the pin location is that day. Subtract 5 yards for a red pin flag and add 5 for a blue flag. Should be close enough

Played at Sandia resort and casino today. Supposed to be one of the top 100 public courses in the country. Everything was in great shape and even though it broke 100*, it was still awesome.

FINALLY played today. My coworker and I brought our clubs and gear to work today. Worked 5hours and made a B-line to Bliss Creek. Fuuuuuuck it felt so good to hit. I have not played in about thee months, maybe a little more. Shot a crummy 99. But I had a few Pars, a birdie and a good number of bogies. But I shit the bed on a number of holes where my score really blew up. It did not matter. Over all I was really hitting my long irons and wedges pretty good. I used my driver twice and put that back in the bag and used my 3 iron as my driver. Much much better. Hitting my 3,4 and 5 irons felt so damn good. Fuuuuuuuuck. What a good day.

Bump.

Anyone watching Full Swing on Netflix?

I’m a few episodes in and digging it. If you like Formula 1: Drive to Survive, this is pretty much the exact same concept but for golf.

 

[Chet Donnelly]

I'm two episodes in. Definitely really good!

I did watch it. I liked it a lot. Very entertaining and also shedding some light on their lives. I’ve always kind of viewed them as robotic and such. Looking forward to a season two of there is one. I would assume they would touch on LIV a lot more in a second season.

Heading out to St. Andres this afternoon for my first round of the year. Hope i don't shank a ball and kill somebody.

 

[radioguy6]

just picked up a new driver. Went with the G430 max and got fitted with the tour 2.0 65/S shaft. Looking forward to this season

I don’t know much about golf. Our house is in the Palmer course in the woodlands country club. Drunk broads and rich old men constantly drive through the neighborhood in their rent-a-cart like they own the joint. 0/10, wouldn’t recommend. They seem to be having fun though.

Masters weekend!

Brooks is looking damn good, hoping he’ll continue to play like he is.

I wouldn't mind seeing Brooks finally get a green jacket. It's also hard not to root for Scottie.

TV coverage/streaming service sucks. I watched a little bit of the first round last night on ESPN. I haven't been able to watch at all yet today.

Caught some of it last night at the bar.

Recently becoming interested in golf to add yet another time and money suck of a hobby

 

[LikeABauce302]

This Sam Bennet kid can play! Let's see if he holds it together through Sunday. It would be an incredible story if he somehow won, but even a top 5 finish for an amateur would be cool to see.

Picked up a used set of Callaway Big Bertha Fusion irons today from a store near work. Don’t tell the wife.
