I live on a golf course. I used to be decent, not good enough to play on a team. Now the only thing I have is my happy gilmour swing. I've hit just over 300 before with it. My normal drive sucks now, my iron shots blow. My putting game is alright.

Idk, I just go out and drink and play a round or two every once in a while. Or hit a couple holes after they close

I never played competitive golf in my life. I really should though... it would make my game so much better. I am a 8 handicap right now. I hardly ever play, but have been playing more and more every week. I shot a +1 36 on nine holes today so that was pretty good.

As far as my bag composition:

9.5 Taylor Made Burner- stock shaft cut down to 43.5" stiff flex
15 Taylor Made Burner 3 wood- stiff flex shaft
21 Taylor Made Burner Hybrid- stiff flex shaft

3-PW Titleist 710 Forged CB Irons- true temper dynamic gold x-100 shaft

56 degree ping tour sand wedge
52 degree cg11 gap wedge

Scotty Cameron Pro Platinum Blade Putter

I am in the process of dumping my Taylor Made Woods for Titlesit woods, and my wedges for Volkey wedges.

i've been playing for my high school the past 4 years and quite frankly i really don't enjoy playing competitive golf at all, i'd much rather just go out and have some fun with friends on the course instead of playing 6 hour rounds with cheesedicks who take golf way too seriously. Right now my handicap is about a 5 (shot 74 today). i use a nike sasquatch driver, mizuno mp57 irons, nike sv wedges, clevelend 3 wood, taylormade hybrid, taylormade putter

Different courses, different green speeds...it all depends on the greens...I usually use a heavier putter on slower greens and a lighter putter on faster greens, but they all look pretty close to the same, just a little different finishes and stuff

I used to play a bit of competitive golf when i was younger. I was never that great at the whole competitive side of the sport any way.

Before i moved to france, i played of a handicap of 4. But when i moved back, i wasn't a member of any golf club. So i did'nt really play at all, up until 4 days ago.

Wow, this thread makes me feel like a terrible golfer.. I usually shoot in the high 90's, and i have no idea what my handicap is. I want to try out for my school's golf team this year, but i'm pretty sure it goes on at the same time as soccer.

Bump for more people to join the Golfer's Cult.

I know there's more golfers on NS, and we need more people there.

I'm playing in a tournament in two weeks.  My handicap was a 12.8 at the last revision, but I haven't played since then;  I probably won't playing +13 golf when I go out to practice this weekend.
