Any golfers?

[Wendy]

I got to complete my Taylormade set yesterday!!! (well except for the putter but that can wait as I have a perfectly good one already) We went out to several places to check out prices....some were over $1,000, but we ended up getting a Burner hybrid (#4 & 5) and iron set brand new for about $400 less. So now I am happy....let's hope I can at least use them half decently now.

Good deal!!! any pictures ?

Played this weekend for the first time this year- Winter is pretty tough this year -

Here we've winter greens - which is just a piece of delimited fairway- impossible to putt straight under these conditions

Photos? Not of me but here are a couple of my new purchases. (still in plastic!) Spring can't come soon enough...I'm jealous of you guys than can get out already. A friend and I are going to make a trip to an indoor driving range very soon but that's all we can do until at least April. :sob:

Hi,
Just returned from Malibu CC. We play at least 3 days a week usually more.
We've had a very warm "winter"--today was 73 deg.
The limiting factor here is light.
Wish I had started younger it really is addictive.

Yeah but don't worry about it you can play until you're 90 or so
- the only thing is that with age - you'll hear the ball fall to the ground when you drive it :rollhappy:

Golfing by the tracks! The golfers and their carts would all fit on a Quarter!

The wood benchwork in the background is 1/2" thick for reference.

 

[cnycharles]

hah, one scene I didn't notice when I was there before (smile). is it new?

 

[NYEric]

No, but it's in a corner and you weren't there long enough to see everything.

Spent the afternoon at the Toronto Golf Show with hubby and friends. What a great day! I bought a TM sand wedge to complete my irons, and some clothes. Also took a 15 minute lesson from a PGA golf pro....it was awesome! It's unbelievable how good it feels when you do things correctly. :clap: Now I can't wait for the season to start. Oh yes....I won a free round at a nice course north of us as well as a couple coupons for 2 for 1 deals. Woohoo!

Good to hear - A friend offered me a book on canadian golf courses - wonderful to see how many golfs there are there !!

 

[NYEric]

They play snow-golf 6 months of the year! oke:

 

[cnycharles]

... and I think they stretch the season by using the plastic glowing golf balls and play at night! I tried playing glo-ball a few times and thought it was fun, I stunk!

Played both days this weekend - and played at my level - this spring is going to be goooood

 

[Wendy]

I haven't been out yet unless you count the one time I went to the indoor driving range. Still too muddy. I called our home course this morning and was told they will be open within a week or two...WOOHOO! Can't wait!

 

[paphjoint]

AS I said, Played twice last weekend - it was still pretty cold - but I played up to my handicap which is fine - and this week spring is coming to France !!
can you dig it !!

 

[Wendy]

Ha....I see you use the interlocking grip too. Boy it looks cold there still with the bare trees and brown grass...not to mention the winter jacket and warm boots! Funny how the cold doesn't matter as long as we can play. I was out at the driving range yesterday. It sure felt good to hit a few balls and the temp was 15c in the sunshine. Our courses are just starting to open so I'll be back out within a week or two. I envy that you are out already.

Thanks for the photos! :clap:
