I haven't seen a thread so far bout golf so i just felt like starting one.

Does anyone here play?

I'm a huge fan of golf, both playing and watching. I am a 12 handicap at Turnberry.

 

When I'm over in Miami next week I'm playing at the TPC Blue Monster @ Doral :thumbup

Every Saturday morning. During the summer when it's nice and not dark till after 10 I often go down for 9 holes after dinner. It's only 15-20 mins in the car from my house.

 

That's good going being off 15 if you only started in January. If I had stayed at the course I played when I was aged 12-17 (currently 21) I would probably be off 6 or 7, but playing my medals on the Ailsa course at Turnberry can be pretty brutal!

Nice. I assume you also have to deal with the shifting winds right?

Golf is awesome. I'm not great, but I'm getting better. I usually play in the colder months though, because the heat is so unbearable in the middle of summer.

Wind on the links is terrible. I have not yet mastered keeping drives low to prevent them being swept off the fairway.

 

Depending on the wind direction, there is one par 3 in particular that I have hit both a driver and an 8 iron to depending on the gusts.

Im going to go play on a links imitation today in a couple hours. The fairways are huge and i wont have to battle with the same wind that you usually do lol

I ended up shooting a 92 today. The wind was stronger than usual. I couldn't hit a drive straight to save my life

Need to master the low bump n' runs for next time at the links!

shot 92 today. Only hit 2 fairways on front 9 but short game was on point. Back 9 was complete opposite. Hit 6 fairways but still shot a 48

Playing Doral tomorrow morning

which one? the Jim McLean one?

Playing TPC Deere Run here in a few days.. can't wait. Heat index needs to get below 120 though!

Weird as hell name for a course in my opinion!

 

Give Steve Stricker a call for some tips before you play. He's owned that course the last 3 John Deere's.

Nice. Have fun with the Bermuda Triangle and the beginning 3 holes. (if im not mistaken, theyre on the Blue Monster)

Took 94 blows to get round the Blue Monster yesterday. Played steady enough other than making a complete mess of 3 of the par 5's.

 

Absolutely fantastic course kept in wonderful condition. Found it difficult with so many greens being slightly raised on plateau's with numerous bunkers protecting them. Where I'm from, more often than not you can play a low runner up to the green, but not here.
