Hey NS,

I was just wondering if anyone on here plays golf. I'm really into it and am practicing indoors, and sometimes out due to the shitty weather of upstate New York. I am a 0.5 handicap, and play out of Oak Hill. I play for my highschool. Does anyone else play?

I played for my high school but if you are like a .5 handicap then you must have a ton of scouts looking at you

Not necessarily. I know some pretty shitty courses with greens that weren't built on sand, but that's beside the point. The course I was referring to likes to boast that the entire course, not just the greens, was built on sand

I highly doubt that the majority of people here who claim that the have a handicap under 5 actually do. 
Lets see who can prove it: http://ghin.com/lookup.aspx

Lowest round - 73 (Par 72)
strongest - Irons
Weakest - Driving
shot shape - Draw, but I can shape it either way
Driver: Taylormade R11, UST Attas 6x
Woods: Taylormade R9 Tour Issue w/GD-DI 8x and Adams Super Hybrid 19* w/UST Attas-T2 8x
Irons: Bridgestone j36 combo w/Project X 6.0
Wedges: Mizuno Mp-T10. Old, hopefully replacing with some SM4's this year, move to conforming grooves
Putter: TP Mills Custom black oxide softtail with black shaft(cant remember tech term) and white Iomic.

I love golf, I spend more on it than skiing. Take lessons during the summer at the closest TPC course with the head pro. Only been taking golf seriously for about 3 years now, so Im pretty happy.

im currently a 6.9 index (had a really bad summer last year) and play out of Bristol Harbour in Canandaigua. If any of you Rochester golfers are in the neighborhood over the summer I would be more than willing to play a round or two either at Bristol or anywhere in WNY for that matter.

im starting varsity for my highschool this year too, but no where near that kind of handicap damn. unfortunately im the only senior so i'm not sure how the teams going to end up doing this year. I love the game though, and especially playing for the school gets me free pass to play whenever on the course which is real nice.

anybody been following pebble beach??? im pulling for phil but I wouldn't mind seeing tiger win one for once.

I'm pretty jelly of your guys Varsity programs.  School sport here is a joke, golf in particular.  My mate and I got dq'd from nationals for taking a nap in the woods off the 5th.  It took us 8 hours to finish our round.  His argument was that if they wanted us to not be hung over they shouldn't have given us a 7am tee

I played for about 9 straight years i liked it all the way up to high school then it became who can hit the ball the furthest. no one cared about their score or even aiming. I got pretty good i was a 1 handicap. I havent even held a club in 1.5 years yet i still keep my clubs just in case i get the urge
