and eh, I wasn't ever really into LAX. it was more of the lily-white, rich-stoner kid sport at my high school. however, to show you how CRAZY I was, I did play indoor LAX during wrestling season. I would go wrestle and then after I would go join some bros for bowls + indoor LAX games. I would be wearing two hoodies underneath those LAX pads so I could sweat out even some more water weight

I was called on fouls a lot, as I was way bigger than the average LAX player and I was obviously "that football player trying to play LAX and fuck up those rich white kids." but hot damn! I would be lying if I didn't say that I miss those HUGE LAX sticks that they give the defensive players!!

sticky summers here in Central (and Southern) Ohio as well. it's been damn sticky already :(
 
its not really a rich kids sport but ok. Indoor Lax is huge in Canada. I always played attack because you didnt have to run all over the field
 
played a pretty shitty course 45 mins away from my home today

green fees with a cart are $22, we were scheduled to pay $13, we played for free, cause there was a tournament going and the guy assumed we already payed a fee, and didn't think we'd get 18 in, so just said go and play

we ended up getting 19 holes in, had 7 pars and won 10 dollars, great day

regardless, I agree that the sport was very interesting and fun to play. it was kind of like hockey, but you got to run around like a rabid Native American...

honestly, as a red blooded American male, it was nice to play a sport that is 100 percent American and one of the oldest sports ever played. bad ass

I wish I was good enough at ball-handling to play offensive positions. I got it down okay, but I only tried playing for one season in the winter here, when it would be indoors. you get such long sticks when playing defense and they are so long, you could really poke at a mother fucker. give him an elbow elbow side-shot and whack the ball out of his net... and then just throw the ball out on the other side of the field... that's all I could really do

it takes a lot of skill + coordination to be efficient as attack for LAX. I always admired those that could do it...

there were a ton of very aggro, type of crazy kids on those winter teams. I have a hilarious story about a fight where after the game we fought the opposing team in the Parking Lot. even at the hormone-crazed age of 17 or so, that wasn't my style. but that is a story for later...
 
i shot a 94 on saturday.

42 on the front, got drunk, and shot a 52 on the back.

oh well, it was fun as shit. if the rain holds off, i'm walking 9 tonight.
 
i don't drink when i play golf, golf is my anti-drug, one of the few things where i don't 'need' to be drunk or high

i finally played good on sunday, a 93 on a somewhat challenging course

i've lost confidence in my driver and using golf tees - sick of playing out of the trees so i've just been using my like 10 year old taylor made 5wood off the grass, it's my favorite and most accurate/consistent club, hitting it anywhere from 190-230

i would rather hit my second shot from 160 than 80 yards, i hit my 7-5 irons beautifully, aint seen nobody who hits their irons as high as me

it's looking like this weekend we are going to play a course that is on an island on the delaware river, usual green fees on a weekend are $90, thanks to golfnow we will be paying just $20.....in 1938 pga championship was played there, sam snead was once the course pro, and in 1967 the NCAA championship was held there, hal irwin won it
 
walked 18 today at a 9regular/9executive course

6 over on the front, 3 over on the back, for a score of a 76
2 birds, 7 pars, 8 bogeys and an opening hole triple bogey

i feel like i could have shot low-mid 80s at a challenging course, every part of my game was on

executive course had long par 3s and really short par 4s,(220-270) and hilly as fuck greens

change on plans and playing at a course that has a 120 yard par three that walter hagen scored an 11 on in 1926, i will par it

kind of a short course, but from what i've seen it's beautiful, tight and finding a flat lie on the fairway is rare

^ that's awesome, man. where in the country are you?

when i lived in tahoe, there was a great executive course in incline village - lots of par 3s with big elevation changes between the tee and the green, which is often tucked away in the trees:

cs, i'm always the opposite. crap front, great back. i played on sunday and i was 12 shots better on the back 9...

tahoe is one of my favorite places on earth. it's pretty much heaven.

yea, i usually pick it up on the back as well. but, we had an early morning round, with early morning vodka drinks.

i was hammered by the 14th hole. the wheels really came off on 16.
 
a'dairm: that course is in the poconos region of PA, i live outside scranton

won't be playing that course though, instead, playing a nicer course in the poconos, jack frost golf resort

can' wait, the course is only like 5 years old, but everyone i've talked to had great things to say about it

last night played softball vs the team my dad pitches for, team has like 5 guys who not only played college ball but broke school records and shit

he pitched 4 innings and gave up one run, the only run?

a first pitch solo home run hit by me, cleared the left field fence by like 30 feet, it felt awesome
he's a knuckleball pitcher and for whatever reason everyone struggles off him, i've crushed him for years

we ended up winning 6-5, i scored the game winning run in bottom of the 7th, feels good man

David Williams is a cult hero here playing rugby league for Manly. It is little wonder that his nickname is "The Wolfman". Best part is his mouthguard, that he only wears for night games on a full moon

^ OMFG Busty!! that is so bad-ass!! I am very interested in rugby (you know me)

seen a couple games here in the States, it looks like so much fun playing

you played, right? care to re-count some of your experiences/stories/great matches??
 
I would advise you study the difference between rugby union and rugby league. There is a 100 yr history between the two and only a select few have been able to transpose between the two at the highest level.
 
is there a difference between them and rugby sevens? Ive watched the sevens matches on TV sometimes its pretty fun to watch. Id rather watch NFL but probably because Ive grown up with that
 
Rugby sevens is kind of like 3 on 3 half court basketball. The rucks, mauls and scrums are light weight and it is more about throwing the ball around and show boating. Typical sevens tournament can be run over 2-3 days so that's why the Olympics picked it up. Proper rugby was an Olympic sport up until the 1930's ans the USA are current gold medalists. They haven't a hope in hell this time. It will be either new Zealand or Fiji, perhaps Samoa or south Africa if there is an upset.
 
you see from a spectator standpoint Id rather watch passing and ball movement than a bunch of dudes crawling over each other all the time

but that's just me
 
I like seeing people spitting their teeth out, but that is just me. Plus with 30 players on the field there is less room to escape a crunching tackle.

Getting naked goes hand in hand with rolling in the mud and squeezing another mans scrotum.
