Any Avid Golfers on here?

[Patrickthecool]

I used to be on the juice but have been off it for years now. This summer I really got into golf. and got down to a 5 handicap. Golf is over for the winter and im getting back into the gym. Anybody lift and golf out there?

[OnTheSauce]

I play a lot of golf. I was captain of the golf team back in high school. I am a ***** when it comes to weather though, so I don't play at all during the winter. My GSGA handicap was a .3 or .4 this year.

[zaggahamma]

those are some good handicaps fellas

best i've ever got down to would be a 10

playin only a few times a year, being 42, and lifting fairly heavy weight sure shortens and stiffens up the swing

this is the time of year for it here in florida june thru september not so much FOR ME

[Patrickthecool]

Nice! I dont like the cold either. but damn im getting the golfin bug sittin around here. If there wasnt snow on the course id be out there.

[Patrickthecool]

I should move to florida for the winter. I see them selling houses on the auction channel all the time for cheap as hell.

[flatscat]

Love the game - can prolly play 3/4 of the winter here in TX.

Golf is for men to lazy to play tennis

[Patrickthecool]

HAHA. If you want to get good at golf you can not be lazy.

[flatscat]

I like golf, but you gotta play enough to keep good and stay good at it, so i just decided to stick with the gym and drop golf for occasional boys days out and a beer in the 19th.

What does it mean that your a finishing member transformation contest?

[SlimmerMe]

^^ I will chime in here just in case he doesn't return. We had a challenge last year ( might have another one ) and the members competed for 12 weeks for most improved with before/after photos. And MR-FQ320 was one of the contenders and did a FABULOUS job.

[Patrickthecool]

Nice . I want a piece of that action this year if it is being done again!

[OnTheSauce]

I won a long drive contest this summer at a local course. 362 in the fairway. Won a free round of golf and a sleeve of ProV1's. I've always been a long ball hitter, but took a long time to get everything else together. Hitting it further, makes it much more important to control that slice or hook. Ive been playing since I was 8 yrs old

Love to golf (can never do enough) and never be good enough

i can take 6 months off and come back and hit the ball fine. but my short game will be non existent. So frustrating

[Patrickthecool]

Sweet man! My younger brother played for a college. and is the longest hitter I have ever seen. He used to sign up for long drive contest but would get so nervous in the competitions that he never got one in the fairway. Everyone that I watched he would have won if in the fairway. I probably average 290 I won $40 in a tournament with a long drive of 380 in the fairway but it was downhill with wind behind me and high altitude

[zaggahamma]

thats some long knocks bros

[RaginCajun]

damn, just seeing this thread! i love the game, its one of my favorite games to play because of the challenge of each shot to shot. my best handicap was a 5, that was in high school when i played everyday! i will have to try to get this back in my weekly repertoire!

[Patrickthecool]

heck ya man.... I went yesterday .. un heard of to golf in january in Idaho. haha. very hard game tho.... the better you get the more challenging it seems to get.

[zaggahamma]

Damn ragin u balled to a 5 that's fn gettin in da hole quick

[RaginCajun]

yep, thats cuz your brain gets in the way! i live down south where we can play all year round!

[RaginCajun]

Damn ragin u balled to a 5 that's fn gettin in da hole quick

i can be quite FAST! i am not near that good anymore. when i was playing all the time, i could work the ball in any manner, fade or draw with any club. now, i just hope to hit it solid

[Patrickthecool]

Nice rajin. Im getting to that level right now my handicap is plummiting.

[zaggahamma]

Golf and heavy weight lifting not always best...I can't even take a full backswing..I play a lot of punch shots

[Patrickthecool]

Ya i could see that being a problem. I have been doing yoga to make sure i stay flexible.
I havent been lifting as heavy as i would like yet either tho.
went out today! There are no pins in and the course is technically closed but the head pro wanted to go out so we played.. and i think ive got this game figured out...

[zaggahamma]

i keep saying i need to do yoga and stop lifting heavhy but its a bad habit

[Patrickthecool]

What is the bad habit?. is saying u need to do yoga and stop lifting heavy your bad habit? hahah
ya you need to stop saying that.. haha that is a bad habit.
I want to get into lifting heavy to build big muscles but stay flexible. best of both worlds right?

[zaggahamma]

lol
maybe its not too late
at least i dont need the suction thing at the end of the putter handle YET
lmao

[flatscat]

Naw but you do need senior shafts.

[zaggahamma]

Naw but you do need senior shafts.

fraid not...swing still muy rapido

[RaginCajun]

this directly affected me in high school. i played football and golf, so i would workout real hard in football training and then have to go right after that to golf practice. i could never get my swing like i wanted to, either i was tight or worn out. i am however, going to get back into it soon!

[Vettester]

Best I've got it down to is a 12 handicap. I broke the 80 barrier, which was one of my long time goals. Don't play near as much as I used to, but I definitely noticed an increase in length in my 40's compared to 30's, obviously resulted from lifestyle changes and working out. Probably 30 yards more on the driver alone, and 1 club difference in the fairway.

[kb24]

i golf about 12 times a year

[MHouse]

I am just catching the bug to play golf. I'm no where near good, but I've now taken a few lessons and I'm trying to get to the range at least twice a week.
