that's a beautiful location, china rider. have you played there before? the holes look pretty uninspiring given the location...

the holes may be a bit too basic/boring, but as only a novice golfer, I have to say that looks like a beautiful place to play... mostly because of the surrounding beauty but also because I wouldn't be shouting like Rodney King after every drive/putt ;)
 
i honestly don't think it's that easy of a course, just cause it's flat doesn't mean it's easy

it was host to the 1938 pga championship and 1967 NCAA championship

went to the course last night. ended up playing with some old dude. fucking asshole bombed his drives straight as an arrow. i was striking the ball well.

i love the little muni course culture in my city. mainly like 40 to 60 year olds that don't have much money, are a little rough around the edges, but LOVE golf. most of them are pretty damn good. and it's funny how muni golfers are really pure about the game. they count every stroke, take no breaks and putt every putt. big difference than when i play with my dad and his country club buddies. those fuckers pretty much cheat.

anyway, we finished 9, then i was able to get in 7 more by myself. great night. i'll go back again tonight.

all of my golfing partners are out of town, solo golf rules.
 
consider me a 'muni player'

there are a few things i do that are not exactly usga pure - i don't play the ball down, i almost always give my self the perfect lie, and if i'm directly behind a tree i'll move my ball a foot or so, not enough to give me complete relief, but at least some breathing room to punch out

i never take a mulligan but if i hit one out of bounds i play it as a lateral and just drop at point of entry instead of re-teeing

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.

Axl or any you guys seriously interested in finding out what 'Rugby League' is all about, need to mark down next Wednesday morning on your TV calenders. The most intense of games and pinnacle of the Rugby League season for many. State of Origin 2012, Queensland v New South Wales, Game 1.

Depending on where you were born, you play for QLD or NSW, annual three game series played in the middle of Rugby League season. So 3 times a year, you find yourself playing against your own Team-mates to represent your state and more than likely punching him in head multiple times. Bring back the biff!

that's not very muni, brah. the only time i really improve my lie is if i'm on rocks or roots, so i don't fuck my clubs up and break my wrists.
 
shawnee was okay but i've played two courses so far this year i was more impressed with

i think their rates are so high due to history, location, and it's quite popular for NY/NJ get-awayers...its right on the PA/NJ border, delaware river splits the two states...to people from NY/NJ everything in PA is a baa-gin(bargain)

the greens were kinda slow, the fairways looked awesome but closer look and they were not very plush, and holes were too congested, almost got hit twice
still a pretty enjoyable experience and i'd def go back

was happy with my 93, my 5 pars were on some of the harder holes we played, if i didnt double bogey nearly ever par 3 i would have been sub 90, most of my GIRs were from 170+ away...except the one that was 150 yards with my 7 iron, fucking club head flew flying off, luckily i was able to retrieve it, but now i've got to play without my 7 iron today, fuck
 
some bi-polar golf today
7 pars.... all on the back nine
a trainwreck 16 over 53 on front, 2 over 39 on back
first time i've ever broken 40 on a side at a 'real course'
i saved my card
 
man if i could just golf 6 days a week for the rest of my life i would only want to use drugs once a week, but i'm talking hardcore-becareful-or-you-might die type shit, taken in a room with the music cranked to 11

and would be cool with having sexual encounters just once every 3 months-romantic weekends at a spa with a 10/10 prostitute whose only client is myself
 
i got a new bike.

so now, i'm biking 3 times a week, and walking 9 twice a week.

i don't know how i feel about this. i'd rather be golfing. but the bike is fun as well. i listen to phish exclusively on my bike.

Road bike or just regular bicycle?

I MTB but have little interest in road biking. Those dudes are cooky. And I know this because I have one as a roomie.
 
mtn bike. i was pretty hardcore when i lived in arizona. but it's literally been 8 years since i've even been on a bike.

i essentially live in downtown atlanta, so it's a bit difficult for me to ride any trails after work. we have this urban path that i ride on. eventually, i hope to get off road. i was looking at hybrid bikes, but went with the mtn bike because i figure i'll eventually get the itch to take it in the woods again at some point.

scored a pretty sweet deal off craigslist on 2009 gary fisher mullet. $360.
 
last night was +3 after the first two holes. at the end of 9 i was +2. granted, this is a pretty easy course, still felt good.

playing 18 on a big boy course in the ghetto today. someone got shot there a few years ago. good track for the price though. i'll probably get hammered and shoot 130.

lol awesome

playing shit par 33 course that was my home course for high school golf in a little bit
decent course tomorrow
sweet ass course on monday

just got my 7 iron back, i was getting used to not having one
 
I still dont like Anthony Davis or Coach Cal.

Might as well have ripped up 140 dollars in front of me
 
Coach Cal is good for a cheater extraordinaire

AD I kinda like. he's from Chicago and blocks shots, but is very funny looking

plus he reminds me of tOSU's Greg Oden. too bad those big gangly freaks of nature usually end up with broken legs
 
hes a lot quicker than Greg Oden though, and I dont know if there's stats to prove this but I feel like heavier big men go down a lot more than skinny guys
