Just wondering, do we have any golfers here? I recently started playing for fun and my first ever round i managed to get round 9 holes in 52 shots (thats good apparently, for your first time anyway [lol]) I dont know why i havn't really played the game before. Nothing beats driving a ball 300 yards down the fairway with a Big Bertha. Yeah, so i was wondering who else played and what kind of scores your getting

Me and my mates drive balls over the top of this massive airplane hanger next to my mates house (he lives on RAF Cosford) cus the only club he has is a driver [lol] other than that the game is the worst thing to watch in the world but to play I guess it's not so bad, I probably would play it if I was a rich toff

Golfing is a fun game to play while drunk with a few buddies [lol]

Watching it is horrible though...worst game to watch

It's a lot of fun to play, I've been playing for a couple years and I like it, very frusturating though..

Mini golf is awesome!!!!!!!!!! Normal golf is alright, my dad says im sad for being obsessed with coasters, but hes even worse with golf. Which is far less interesting IMO, the only risk of dieing in golf is getting hit with the club/ball or struck by lightning!!! Whats interesting in that [lol] Im only kidding, its not like you really die on coasters is it, you have bout a million to one chance of doing so. LOL.

I have been to the driving range quit a few times, but i could only hit it like 150 yards, which was alright i suppose for a small 13 year old (when i used to do it). I hit the floor a couple of times and it hurt. Ive never played a full game of golf though, i ought to try it.

God no, we have driving range groupies? [lol] The kids that go on the driving ranges round here are typicaly chavs or roughens. Nothing beats hitting the best drive of your life followed by a 5ft column of sand shouting up into the air, although in fairness i dont have much trouble with the bunkers.

Chavs cant afford a round of golf...so it's unlikely i'd find one on the golf course [lol]

I have been golfing about 15 years or so. This year I finally got a single digit handicap (9), but my 3 month and 3 year old are putting my golf game on the backburner for a while. Golf out here in Utah is pretty cheap. I can golf a resort course 18 with cart for about $50. One of my vendors I buy from took us to Pebble Beach last year. The greens fee was $325. Glad I buy a lot from them cause they took about 5 groups out that day. By the way, a braut and beer at the 10th at Pebble were $23. I think I'll stay in Utah.


So when's the first annual Weeweeslap open going to be scheduled? Golf in the morning followed by coasters later in the day. [:D][:D]

I like golf a little bit and I probably see Shia LaBeouf's movie next week.

EDIT: I think I suck at swinging and miss the hit.

I love golf, me and friend always go out golfing, although I still suck, I'm getting better, one day maybe I'll be able to score par on almost all the holes, instead of just one or 2.
Callaway golf clubs are really good, my friend uses the big bertha series, as well.

I golf, me and my friends always go out and play at the local course. I'm on the golf team at our high school so during the golf season i get to golf pretty much everyday, its pretty sweet. I'm currently a 7 handicap, but the 2 friends i usually go golfing with are both close to scratch so I need to get better still lol.

I might start golf again then now. [:D] I suddenly have an urge to play it. I need a new sport to do, alot of my friends do rugby, i would do that, but im smaller than alot of em, and im not fast enough. [:(] Which is a shame cos its a good game. Much better than American Footy! [lol]

I suck at golf. I took a class once and almost dislocated my shoulder. All my hits are low and don't go very far. I'm ok a minigolf though. Long live putting!
