I was using Bridgestone E6's. About $24 a box. I used to play with prov-1 x's, but since I quit golfing on a regular basis 4 years ago, I decided it wasnt a good thing to lose 1/2 box of $45 golf balls per round. So now I can play an extra few rounds for the money saved.Originally posted by Surfah View PostThat can be expensive. I hope a handful of those were range balls or that could have been equivalent to green fees for the day.
Which reminds me, Utah has some cheap golf. I miss that.

How did you find the course. I was nervous it wasn't going to be in good shape. Except for the traps, I thought the course was in pretty good shape.Originally posted by Shaka View PostI haven't golfed since the Tour 18 in Dallas and I sucked. Somehow I developed a hook on my drives when I usually have a slice.
Dhole is my partner Saturday. I feel bad for him already.
We played the blues and that ended up too long for me. I did go bogie, par, birdie though on the Amen Corner.

I thought it was a lot of fun and the reports of the reports of the course being in bad shape innacurate.Originally posted by byu71 View PostHow did you find the course. I was nervous it wasn't going to be in good shape. Except for the traps, I thought the course was in pretty good shape.

Highlights for me include hitting the island green on my first shot, landing my ball on one one of the circular elevated pods (I don't know how else to describe them) in the middle of the huge bunker on the left, and making a birdy on the last hole. Other than that I sucked the big one. My only excuse is I hadn't golfed in two months because of a severely strained calf muscle. If you're lucky it will swell up on Saturday and you can all accuse me of having elephantitis.

The last hole was modeled after number 13 at Augusta, the last hole of Amen Corner. That was the hole I birdied too. It wasn't that easy of a hole, we must be good.Originally posted by Shaka View PostI thought it was a lot of fun and the reports of the reports of the course being in bad shape innacurate.

I love that show, too. It was interesting seeing men and women compete head to head this past summer, but i'm (chauvinistically?) looking forward to the all-men version this season.Originally posted by Surfah View PostBig Break: Disney Golf is starting up soon. I love this show.

I just saw this Robin. I would also suggest going to a golf speciality shop that sells used clubs. I'm not sure which one in L.A. does that, but I'm sure there are plenty. Golf Galaxy does, for example. They will have plenty of drivers for under $100, and they will be name brand.Originally posted by RobinFinderson View PostI've read none of this thread, so please pardon my interjection (if you were all in the middle of a serious conversation).
I don't golf, but I had the pleasure of going to a driving range and hitting some balls. It was fun. I'm now thinking about picking up a driver for the sole purpose of hitting balls at driving ranges. If I get good enough at that, I might pick up a set of irons, and eventually, maybe I will pick up golf. I have no hopes for that at this time, but I think it would be fun to pick up a driver.
So, golf people, what driver should I get? I suck, I have no real expectations of being good at golf, but I enjoy whacking a ball at the driving range. I don't want to spend a lot of money, but I don't want a crappy garage sale driver either. Thoughts?Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Also don't forget a sack of flour for the range.Originally posted by falafel View PostI just saw this Robin. I would also suggest going to a golf speciality shop that sells used clubs.
