I would like that, Chuck.

I'm not in favor of a drunken stumble, but I would love to "play golf" with you guys. I figure there is plenty of time after the round to hang one on, if so desired.

I'd really like to get something set up for a long weekend. Ideally, fly in Thursday night and out on Sunday. 3 days in a row of 18 is plenty and even just 2 days would fine. I think the drunk fest is a product of the scramble format and people not being golfers. If we play our own ball, a lot of the stupid behavior gets tempered.

Until I see them reviewed favorably by Golf Digest against Taylor Made Tour Preferred and Titleist Pro V1, I won't spend a penny on them. I have heard this same claim several times and the balls end up being mediocre at best. The MG balls were supposedly "as good as Pro V1s", but they aren't. They're just cheaper urethane covered balls. As mentioned in last year's Hot List review, when it comes to golf ball technology, you have to pay for it. Sorry for being skeptical, but this claim is made every year and never pans out.

you think those are "unbiased" reviews :shrug: :0corn

WHO do you think the biggest advertising budget comes from for Golf Digest? Oh Yeah, that would be be Titleist and Taylor Made :0008

I ordered a 6 dozen bucket of the new balls for you for Christmas. Can that bribe get you out of retirement? I didn't really but I would. :popcorn2

FYI, I've played these balls and they will check up like no ball I've ever chipped with.
The price is ridiculously low too. The only negative is they scuff easily.

I used to put 3 scuff marks caused by my grooves every time that I would hit a full sand wedge on a Pro V1 ... gets heavy on your pocket with $50 dozen balls so if I hadnt retired, would definitely prefer to buy $20-25 dozen balls if they can match performance with the short game

So would I and I am sure there are others that would. I don't want a drunkfest either, and definitely would want to play our own balls. I am sure we all have posted USGA handicaps and could have some fun competitive matches. Then we have cocktails afterwards of course. Maybe RTJ trail in Bama, Atlanta, Myrtle, it doesn't matter to me.

xstopMy short game might be garbage, but come on. Don't get my silky smooth swing confused with that junk you trot out.
Ha, nobody has as sweet a swing as Nole.

My new clubs at least got me out a lot more since we last played. I still think I'm a hack by all measures but I hit in the high 80s pretty consistently now. I get more distance out of my irons as well. My short game needs work but I think most all amateurs can say that until they start hitting in the 70s like Skipper.............

Is there any source of info out there we can point to without a conspiracy being brought up? Sheesh.

A couple years ago, I played the Q Star ball because it was great for the money....then, they changed the cover and it plays like a cheaper ball. I've been a little more cognizant of how balls react ever since. I really like the TM Tour Preferred. I bought $100 worth on www.lostgolfballs.com and they've been great. The course I play at is a gold mine for Pro V1s, so I play them all the time but never buy them.

I'd like to join in on this.......In past years we have met at a casino, so gambling was number 1 at least for me. If it it purely a golf setting, a couple of beers on the course and then dinner and drinks for sure! I like the way the member/guest format works, play your own ball and the lowest score of your two man team is posted on each hole? Just a thought:0003

Living in Montgomery, RTJ the Capital is nice with 3 challenging golf courses, also could drive down to RTJ Greenville, Al which is about a 40 minute drive away or Auburn. My house is not 1 million Sq ft (like Jack's home) I have 4 bedrooms and a bonus room upstairs that's 700 sq ft that could sleep a few guys as well. I am a pretty good cook :toast:

We will definitely make something like this happen. I knew you would be on board, and the trail is great golf, it has been a few years since I have been there. I know you and Nick played there this year I believe. Anyhow, we can all figure it out. Thanks Steve. The ATL is fair game as well, whatever works for flights, etc.

Never had a matched set of culbs all differnt makes the 3 woods 1 3 5 were same

mixed irons 2- 9 the sand wedge which i used for short chips fluff it under ball flipping wrist to hit hi n land soft

one time in short par 3 i hit left bunker had low lkip sand was firm from overnigh rain grabbed my putter sunk a 25 foot birdie

I used a T square putter was perefct for me pendullum swing through to the cup to softly drop in cup barely 3 putted any green

of course one course we plyaed was only 9 holes with differnt tees on few of them best score i had was an 81 :142smilie

local public course still open but aint no fairways

grass was like playing in someones yard :142smilie

forget about using 5 wood or driver on long fairways
