    Any golfers or tennis players?

    Seeing as there is no sports sub-forum, I put it in chit-chat.

    Any avid golfers on FFR?
    I've been playing avid for about a year now, and I think that I'm getting pretty decent. At the local club I'm shooting about a 43-45 on 9 holes just about everyday, but I have days where it is a bit lower.

    My main problem is long distance shots on the fairway/rough, I cannot hit a wood or hybrid (I have a 3 and 4 hybrid) off the second shot for the life of me, so I stick to a 5 or 6 iron for those 200 yard shots, and just get them close instead of going for the green. I think if I could fix that I could shoot 2-3 strokes better daily.

    My irons have gotten really good for me though, but I have the same distances on just about all my clubs as my 5'3 friend (but he is a bit better than I).

    Anyone else care to chat about golf?


    I plan on making a tennis thread soon.

    EDIT: I'll talk about tennis in here too :]

    Re: Any golfers?

    Hey,

    I play golf AND tennis. Yay. Anyway, I usually shoot 90-95 for 18 holes. I don't get to play much, maybe once every month or so. I really love to play though, I like the look and smell of a golf course. I think I could drop my score if I played more. My putting sucks, but I drive and hit my irons very well.

    As for tennis. I really love to play, I can usually get to a tennis court once every 2 weeks. I have a wilson nsix two:http://www.sport365.cz/pictures/prod...aketa-4699.jpg

    it has served me well for about 3 years (no pun intended). I played in a league for my city a year ago and we won the city title, so that was pretty cool

      I tried playing but I suck horribly. Even tried taking lessons but that didn't work out to well. It's kind of inhuman if you ask me. "Ok you have three tries to use this stick to hit that tiny ball into that tiny hole 350 yards away".

        i know what you're saying about loving the feel of a golf course, it's an amazing feeling an the morning.

        personally i enjoy tennis wayyy more than golf, but i thought the golf community would be bigger,

        i have two rackets, a Wilson Pro Open


        and a Wilson KFactor Pro Open

        it's on wilson's page, dont feel like getting an image xD

        both are really nice, but i prefer my factor, it's better for my serve style (basically a kick serve)

        I've played for my highschool since 7th grade or something.

            I play tennis with my friends whenever we get the chance. im not real good but its great exercise. I rarely go to the driving range, but it's pretty fun. Damn those hooks and slices..

                      I'm so terrible with my swing. At this one course there are these walls that separate us. It's probably extends six or less feet towards the field and the space is a bit wide, just enough to swing. When I hit that ball it instantly hits the wall, but that's with a driver. I still can't figure out drivers. However, in high school we had golf for p.e., and I did pretty well with the irons.

                        Thats what i have. I play baseball and i have the exact same slice on my swing. My front shoulder stays in all the way and causes my slice.

                          I've played golf since I was 11. I don't play all the time, it comes in spurts. I'm not that great. I'm a pretty solid driver, and have a decent short game (except putting), but I'm terrible with my long irons.

                          My brother, on the other hand, is a golf fanatic. He used to play all the time, and his instructors even told him that he could be good enough to play on the PGA tour. However, he had a leg surgery about five years ago and hasn't walked since. I mean, he can move around, but he needs crutches. Recently, though, me and him have actually gone to the driving range and have even gone golfing twice, but he'll never be as good as he used to be. I mean, he used to be able to drive like 350 yards. That's freaking insane.

                          The golf channel is on quite often in my house...

                            I play miniature golf.

                            I don't like regular golf. The holes are way too far away and there are no windmills.
