Golfers

[Singlestack]

I golf a fair amount, but very, very poorly. If it wasn't for my wife (who I got interested in golf 20 years ago), I would have given it up a few years out of utter frustration. I fight a terrible case of the "full swing yips", and its raging pretty badly right now. My chipping and putting are keeping me playing - both of which are pretty consistently good. Golf is just such a mental game - even more than shooting I think. Yes, I shoot better than I golf, but thats not saying much.

I play also. I've played a number of rounds out at Spring Valley in Elizabeth.

I try and play as much as I can but I still suck.

Here is a thread from last year, Patrick and I went and swung the clubs

My home life isn't bad enough to play golf.

That's why my wife always comes with me. She doesn't play golf but is happy to come out and walk around the course with me. Great way for her to get exercise, me to play golf, and for us to spend 4 uninterrupted hours together. Win for all parties involved.

I like golf. I enjoy playing golf, but it takes too much time to practice.
I think I spent more $$ on practice than actual game at a course.

I did invest my money on turf and golf net about 4 years ago.

Practice can be very expensive. A lot of local courses will work out a good practice program though. I've seen courses that will do like $300 for the year for unlimited range time and then of course short game practice included. That's not a terrible option. I wish I were rich enough to join a sweet private club where you can just practice whenever/play whenever.

Totally agree. CO is a great place to play golf. It is not top 10 state, but still great place. Practice can be really expensive, except chippin range or putting range. Those are free.

Probably best chipping practice range I've seen in CO so far is Ute Creek in Longmont.

I love golf. I didn't play for 2 years cuz of a biceps tendon tear.still haven't fixed that yet 8 rounds this year 85 best score @ arrowhead, now if I could only putt it would be awesome!!
You know why they call it golf?? All the other 4 letter words are taken!! Golf is supposed to be fun, set your expectations low and have a blast !!
I would be interested in practice time !!

I'll play. Haven't played much this year, yet I purchased new forged irons and a driver. Few years ago I had a membership but now I only play a few times a years. This would give me a great excuse to swing the sticks

Well Arrowhead was fun today. The weather was chilly this morning but it warmed up. The course was in good shape and the greens were pretty quick. Anyone else played there recently? I think they mowed them nice and tight for the tournament but who knows. I was praying and spraying out there but I still had a great time.
