DrinkSmokeGolf Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Any golfer's out there? I'm a big golf nut. I'm down to a 9.6 handicap right now. Playing great golf this year for some reason! Here's a shot of my buddy from the weekend out at Swan-e-set in Pitt Meadows, BC. The deer were our gallery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whistlehappy Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think I just see your buddy through the trees. Or maybe its just cause that's the part of the golf course I'm familiar with I put people there! I golf too, I'm around a 15 handicap (didn;t get out much with a second child in August last year). First round is this Friday at Bear Creek (Barrie), should be interesting only been out twice to hit leading up. Good thing nobody expects much from me!

surreypuffer Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 I used to play to a single digit handicap as a junior.. A long time ago... Now I snap hook and push fade every other swing, every now and again I can shoot a good nine but.... C'est la vie. It's about relaxing now as I get older. BTW I love the club house at swan-e -set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have just got into the game myself I really enjoy it though I'm rubbish right now, in the spring I'm going to take some lessons and see if any friends are interested it a few rounds on the links.

Smokenscotch Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I used to golf a lot when I was a kid, and early teens. I just found it too time consuming and costly...but beautiful views! Thx for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mate2287 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Glad to see there's a golf sub forum! I'm no good at it but love it. Just purchased a membership at one of the best courses in my area and look forward to bringing my handicap down this season! Can't wait until April!

stoo962 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Love the game. Play off a 5 handicap. Just love to be out on the course for a walk, a cigar, a wee nip of whiskey here and there and a good shot every now and then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_dog Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I love to play, certainly not good by many standards, but fairly long off the tee (when I can keep it straight :shock: ). Hoping to play more than last summer, only got out for about 10 or 12 rounds last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leatherman Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I used to play tons as a kid but started playing less and less and my game got worse and worse (go figure). Didnt play a single round in the last two years but that will all change this year. Now that Im into cigars I feel like I need to get back on the course just to have another reason and place to smoke cigars hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ale Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I love the game. I'm not a single digit handicapper, but I make the effort to improve my game. Right now, I am enrolled in a Winter indoor facility. Working on my swing mechanics. Every year, my friend and I make the effort to play a bunch of public courses that appear on the ScoreGolf top 100. I would say I have at least 15 courses under my belt (I got a long way to go).

taxedman Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I love to play, and hoping to increase my playing/practice this year......I played four of the courses on Desert Mountain (AZ) this past November......it was awsome but really exposed the weaknesses in my game. Here's a shout out to Hunter and Leatherman....how about some golfin' and herfin' this summer!? P.S. while on the subject, just had to brag on my old man for a minute (he's 93).....he has shot his age 3 times! Twice in his seventies, once in his eighties.

EZTRGT Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Hehe, Okay so I've never swung a club in my life but enjoy a round or two of whatever the latest installment of Tiger Woods on PS3, lol. My retiree parents seem to spend a fair amount of time spanking it around and I enjoy watching it with my dad on tv. I suppose I'll have to try it some time..... Cheers, EZTRGT Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phoenix Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 My BIL's father played his age when he was around 90/91. I need to live until 125 to do that. karmaz00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinCNS Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Love golf myself, definitely not a 9 handicap like OP but I can shoot high 80's on a good day!! A good day usually consists on the Sunday after playing Friday and Saturday lol. On a side note, does anyone know when Golftown has their annual re-gripping event? Definitely need some new grip, might go with the soft grips this time around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hounser Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 On a side note, does anyone know when Golftown has their annual re-gripping event? Definitely need some new grip, might go with the soft grips this time around. It's already started AFAIK, you can head in right now and get the half price deals, though this year they've bumped up the installation to $2 per club.

GWB Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 So with the golf season rapidly approaching has anyone bought any great new gear ? I have been eyeing up new irons , but don't think its going to fit the budget so I settled for a new fairway wood. A Callaway Diablo 3 wood. Hits great and will hopefully fill a glaring hole in my game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
