The Golf Thread

I have 5 dozen brand new Vice Pros, 2 dozen Snells, 5+ gallons of assorted balls and about 3 1/2 gallons of Pro V1s (all found in the last couple months)

If any of those in the color bucket are Srixon Z Star Tour Yellow, preferably the realy tour yellow not the new trying to look like Titlest, I know a guy who would take them.

A couple of years ago at a golf tourney I was playing in one of the par 3s was hosted by Dixon golf, they gave everyone a ball and if you hit the green they gave you a couple of sleeves. I will never forget the pitch from the poor kid selling them to people "Believe it or not, it is the official ball of Don Cheadle" I replied that I actullly could believe that.

I don't remember what that feels like.

I have no reason to remember what that feels like.

Are you golfing less or just talking about it less?

Talking less and golfing less. Had a torn rotator cuff in 2015 and only played about 5 times in 2016. Looking pick it up in 2017. I do miss playing a lot though.

Yours and Tiger career kind of mirror each other.

Except for the women and money part, you're right.

Saturday night I was hitting balls in comfort, just zinging them out into the falling snow. It was about 80 degrees (I moved my comfy couch up a few feet because the heaters were a little too hot.) I was sipping diet pepsi. My husband and I had the entire bay to ourselves, for two hours. It gets really quiet when it snows- just the ping of the ball hitting the club face in the sweet spot. We didn't talk much. I was hitting 140', not bad for reduced flight balls in the snow. My husband was hitting them off the back wall- you can't really see them once they get out there. You lose them in the snow and you have to consult the monitor to tell if you've hit it or not. The second hour, the BYU-Colorado game came up on the telly above the monitor.

Pretty much an exquisite way to spend a winter evening. Imagine this with falling snow.

Well... I've only got the one woman, but she's a top flite gamer in her own way.

Edited for everybody's sake.

Huge for Bridgestone. Wonder if Tiger will end up playing any Bridgestone clubs. Their new irons are supposed to be pretty swell.

Oakridge named as the new web.com tour stop in Utah; old gregg quits golf.

I'm headed over to Oahu next month to spend a week at Disney's Aulani resort. Has anyone played Ko Olina at the Aulani? Is it worth taking my clubs?

I played there a couple of times last June. A nice track but I'd put at least 5-6 other courses (on Kauai and Maui) ahead of it. Still, if it's not too much trouble to take your bag, I'd do it.

BTW, on that same trip the missus and I each flew powered hang gliders with these people, and it was probably the greatest thing we've ever done in Hawaii. We flew amidst rainbows (not unusual), through gaps in a mountain range through which squadrons of Japanese bombers flew in 1941, and each of us ended up with a full-length video and dozens of pictures of us flying these cool machines (there's a licensed pilot and guide with you). It's pricey, but worth it.
