I suck at golf! I tried really really hard 1 summer cause most my friends play. I got to where I could hit some decent shots at the driving range occasionally but was never able to translate that to hitting good shots on the course when I only had 1 swing! I actually putt lot better than most my friends but getting to the green was a constant struggle. Not used to not being good at a sport so got incredibly frustrated and said the fukk with this shit!!! Summers so miserable here anyways I rather not spend my free time out in miserable humidity getting aggravated cause I can’t make the stupid ball fly straight!! I stick to sports where my aggressiveness pays off

give it another shot

why?

1. you ride a cart

2. you can drink beer during it

3. gets you away from family members (WIFE)

4. you can keep going until you cant walk....just move up to senior tees like philly guy

[grease lightnin]

i would play you heads up, 18 beers in 18 holes for me

vs

you sober

6500 or longer

No way.


I have seen my golf partner shoot an 80 with a 12 pack in him and he is an 18.

Lmao. Too proud to hit off the woman’s or senior tees!! Distance isn’t really my problem anyways, it making ball fly straight.

Everyone says it relaxing but it just frustrates me, a lot!! I am not used to not being good at a sport, I can hold my own at most everything cept damn golf! Rather play hoops, better workout and my aggression plays much better! If I want to do something where I can drink I go bowling, I’m a pretty good bowler and it in the ac!! Lol

Same boat here. Solid athlete, suck at golf. I was good at Golden Tee Golf back in the day though.

It is a weekend. Not a vacation. How much is your mom paying for your tickets to Europe?

Not at all. I got plenty of money. Also not sure where the bash is but I’m guessing east coast. I’m way up in the Seattle area, I’m not flying across the country for just a weekend.

Just read the thread on it, actually sounds pretty sweet. I'll be in Europe during those dates if not I'd consider going with my girlfriend. Pretty slow time of the year in terms of betting but I understand summer is the time for most to get away. Have fun for those who are going. I try to get to Vegas at least once a year but been taking other trips, will try to get down there soon.

theres no way in hell dawg is hitting a 48-50 degree lofted club 130 Yards. Dawg send me your GHIN number & let’s set up a match, Since you think I play from the reds

Greaser my point being my PW loft is 43.5. You want to get a gap that 3-4 degrees lofted higher.

dawg frantically texting rudy to give him a life Line here

Why is that hard to believe? I've hit my 52 degree gap wedge 130yds before. Doesn't mean it's the right shot. You can hood anything, lie, weather, wind all factor in. Guys are hitting 400yd + shots during the Open practice rounds...doesn't mean they are going to do it every time. Your pitching wedge loft is closer to a 9-iron. Lots of gaps in your wedge game unless you carry 5 wedges.

Not sure what clubs you play. 9 iron is 38 degree. Carry 4 wedges(43.5 - 49 - 54 -60)

[unde0087]

If you have big gaps in clubs then just bend your wedge or sandwedge to a better degree. Any forged club can be bent to a different lie or loft. Most golf clubs should have this available.

What clubs do you play? The new Taylor Made 790's are getting a lot of press lately. They are known for juking their lofts a bit so players think they are hitting their irons farther. Their pitching wedge is listed at 45 degrees and their 9 iron is 40 degrees.

As you can see, that's a good chunk of clubs on the 2018 Golf Digest Gold List. Your 38 degree club is like an 8.5 iron. Your PW should be closer to 45 degrees. You have a large gap between your PW (which is a 9.5 iron) at 43.5 degrees and your gap wedge. You should be dialed the fukk in with your scoring wedges. You gave Greaser the advice that his gap wedge should be 3-4 degrees more lofted than your PW. Then, you state that your gap wedge is 4.5 degrees more lofted than your wedge and you have a 5 degree gap between your gap and sand wedge.

i play the Taylor made M4’s. My comment to greaser was because his level of play (3-4 years in the game prob at 20+ handicap. I’ve been playing quite a bit longer. My wedge game is tight

Right on. Figured you were more of the player iron/blade swinger. Thanks for clarifying. Those distance mashers you have are not standard loft for a club...but you know that.

jj, that's like saying use any offshore book, you fukkin' square. You're never going to go pro at sports betting.

The #1 mistake amateur golfers make is not knowing their clubs and corresponding yardages. Difference between shooting in the 100's/90's/80's for many golfers. We're trying to get greaser on the right track here, guy. jj, meet me at the 9th green at 9:00pm, ya bald prick...and wear something nice!

Not a problem. I love shooting the shit about equipment / the game w sharp guys like yourself.

Dawg consuming 4300 calories a day in just beer! You think he’s hitting a gap wedge 130

Been looking at getting a new set, so I've been deep diving on the specs on some different iron sets. Not golf wrx nerd status...yet. Need to hit the launch monitors outside but I'm waiting for it to not be 105 degrees + humidity here in AZ. You boys are in for some nastiness playing in Vegas. Supposed to be 114 here on Monday.

Can't speak to the dawgs' play. Sometimes, a little swing lube can get out a few extra yards.

This makes a lot of sense. Two guys I know got these and said they added 10-15 yds a club.


Edit: Actually I think they have M4’s

greaser love the M4’s. Wish I could practice more than I do but just cannot. Forgiveness of these clubs are amazing

[grease lightnin]

Yea both these guys love them.


But I just texted them and told them why they were hitting it farther anyway.

[grease lightnin]

They have M2 Tours


My other buddy just bought an M4 Type D driver and he is smoking the shit out of the ball. His old driver was the same as mine— Taylormade R1

M4 is sweet. It is very accurate and the ball just explodes.

Drivers are good though

Feel the same way. I can't do offset irons. I already draw the ball. Mind fukk looking down at them.
