Golf

[skamikaze]

so the other day i went golfing for the first time in a year or so. man that sucked ass. i could never hit the driver without slicing, but i could hardly hit anything in the air. ive always been using my grandpa's extra clubs. you think longer and heavier clubs would help?

[CR-XRS]

I have trouble getting my driver off the ground, but everything else seems to be ok, So I pretty much just tee off with my 3W I can hit it about 300-325 yds. I did have my shafts lengthend though, it made a little improvment, cause regular clubs are a little to short for me.

[skamikaze]

how tall are you chris? i think you were taller than me, but i cant remember.

[QWKsilvr808]

Chris is pretty damned tall. Then again, so are you Jay.

Many old sets of irons are blades. Maybe that's the problem? Or are you cutting the top of the ball?

I'm 6'2 I think your about the same height, or pretty darn close.

[skamikaze]

my grandpas clubs are fairly new. he brought em back from japan (he has like 3 or 4 sets of clubs but it's probably all designed for the seniors haha).
i dont really know what the problem is. my swing is all jacked up too now cuz i played a couple seasons of softball league

[skamikaze]

i tell people im 5'11" but i think im around 6' 1"

Graphite shafts? I found graphite doesnt work for me, cause I swing to hard. hahaha I keep telling myself nice and easy, but when I go to swing I always swing hard. graphite flexes to much , after changing to steel shafts its a lot better.

[skamikaze]

yeah it's graphite. my dad told me i should change, but im too cheap to buy my own clubs. i guess i should huh.

[QWKsilvr808]

Same for me, can't swing graphite shafts for my irons. I've learned to take an easy swing with my driver tho, so i use a graphite shaft for that one.

I did some time at the range once and tried to modify my swing to work out a slice. Then it focked me all up because I spent too much time thinking about what I was doing. It took me 3 months to get everything working again.

def taller than 5'11". I measure at 5'9.5" at my last physical and you're way taller than me.

[SiRxVAdERxEP3]

you wanna borrow my tight lies?
you are welcome to it...

[goodsushi]

i thought i was taller than you clint? maybe i just have better posture

[QWKsilvr808]

LOL. I dunno, I think most times you see me bent over your car while you take pics of my ass. :)

How tall are you? You do seem pretty tall.

[QWKsilvr808]

oh, and I switched to Top Flight Strata. For some reason I just can't hit the Callaway HX Red's straight anymore. The Strata's seem to be easier to control to me.

:stupid: maybe it was my slippers....

[hKGuRLx0882x]

i don't understand ur guy's golf talk one bit =(

btw jay you're tall for a japanese guy! i only have 1 other japanese guy friend who's taller than me.. he's like 5'10 or 5'11 i think.

[kardician]

i be worried about graphite shafts.. since they cost more and arnt as durable. i dont think the shaft would help you hit any better though, if anything i would think your overall distance would change (not sure if its better or worse).

maybe one of those drivers with the huge titanium heads. theyre really light weight and you can get some pretty good momentum on the down swing. my friend has a big bertha and i think its almost impossible to miss.

also, i am 5'8" just in case anyone is interested.

[hKGuRLx0882x]

kyler you're the same height as me!

[goodsushi]

me too!

[goodsushi]

well i think im like 5'7 3/4" almoooooost.. i tell everyone im 5'8"

[hKGuRLx0882x]

once i measured myself at 24 hr. and like i was like omg it says i'm 5'9!!! i grew!! but then i was like damn.. i had slippers on! hahaa...

[goodsushi]

what kinda slippers? those huge foamy ones?

[skamikaze]

i think it does. if you swing down hard/fast (like i do). the shaft flexes backwards, and it fucks everything up.

[hKGuRLx0882x]

no =P it's like 1" slippers i got at guess a longggg time ago. they're my favorite most comfortable slippers ever! so even tho they're dirty and gross.. i still wear it bc it's so comfy =) hehee too bad they don't sell it anymore

[Kaizer-Souze]

I always used to slice hard with my drivers, I could literally stand 45 degrees to the right and slice all the way across the hole left, but when you concentrate on bringing your club head across so its a closed face when you make contact with the ball, you can start to control the slice and then start aiming with a controlled curve to where you want it.

[dsquared]

damn you tall people! i remember standing next to bonnie once while she was SITTING on a barstool an we were the same height! HAHAHA so pathetic. my friends got a good laugh out of that

[goodsushi]

was that the night you were super drunk at dnb? :chuckles:

Definitely. I tried using graphite with my irons, but because I swing hard with them the timing was always slightly off because of the amount of flex. They have stiff graphite shafts, but to me they still don't compare to steel.

I'm still using my Taylor Made 360Ti driver. It's seen some years of use but it's a trustworthy club. :)

[CR-XRS]

I have the same driver, when I first got it I could murder the ball with that thing, but for some reason I cant hit it to save my life now. hahaha

[QWKsilvr808]

same as me. When I first got it I was killing it straight all the way down the middle of the fairway. After awhile something changed in my swing and it just wouldn't work unless I took an easier swing. Wierd. Now I swing easy and it seems to work better. :)

[CR-XRS]

Whenever I do manage to hit my driver consistantly, I cant seem to hit my irons, its weird I can either do one or the other, so thats pretty much why I just cheat and use my 3w. hahahaha

[QWKsilvr808]

LOL, I can't hit my 3W for shit. It always stays in the bag. I use either my driver or a 4W. I dunno what it is about the 3.

My short game really sucks. I can't putt for shit.

LOL My short game is the only thing that saves me, I'm pretty accurate from 100 yards out, and pretty much 1-2 putt everything, to bad it takes me forever to get there though.

HA! I'm the complete opposite. I'll take 2 shots to get within a wedge's shot of the green, and then misjudge my wedge shot and 2-4 putt in hahahaha.

[CR-XRS]

All this talking about golf makes me want to go play, I havent played in awhile. ( Translation) My last game pissed me off so bad I was gonna give it up. LMAO

[QWKsilvr808]

hahaha! What about Sunday Feb 20th? Holiday weekend? Maybe Mark can set us up at Luana Hills. I'll talk to Sean and see if we can close up for the day and go. :)

hahaha! Well maybe we can try somewhere else! We play there often because Mark's pop owns the place and hooks the price up for us. :)

I haven't played for at least 6 months too... I don't expect to hit well at all! It would be great if we could get in at Coral Creek.

ROFLMAO same thing happend to me on the 7th hole. hahaha

[QWKsilvr808]

yeah that little focker! I hit it a little too far right alongside the hill, and then I saw the bitch from a distance run out and check it out. Next thing you know he picks it up and runs off on two legs... SHEET! I didn't even know they could do that!!!

I was pissed. My dad made me take a penalty drop too. He said it was a hazard hahaha. What an ass.

[CR-XRS]

So......are we gonna play?

[QWKsilvr808]

I talked to Mark about it on Friday! He said he's down! Just gotta figure out where to play and go from there. :) We'll prolly try to set it all up Mon-Tuesday!

Yeah clint keep me posted...let me know if you guys are really down for next week sunday...who else wants to go?

[QWKsilvr808]

I'm def down for this week. Let's get a move on it! Where to tho? We gotta make tee time already.

[Accord-boy]

Have you figured out a place to play yet?

[QWKsilvr808]

How hard would it be for us to get on Waikele? Kinda expensive over there tho yah?

[CR-XRS]

Not to bad to get times, I think its like $50- $60 on week ends.

[QWKsilvr808]

Hmm not bad. I don't mind forking the dough over to play there. If we play at Luana Hills it's half that price w/the super-dooper Mark hookup. But we'll prolly lose $25 in balls and spend the same amount anyway hahaha.

I'll try to call Jay and see if he can come out too, and Russ. My uncle will prolly want to go too!

Its not hard to hit the balls, but controlling them and making them go where you want is hard.

[hKGuRLx0882x]

so what are you saying chris.. do you think that i can't do it?! grRrRrrr =P jp i don't want hit around balls all day anyway!

You can come and play if you know how! If not we gotta go somewhere else so you can learn... anywhere we might play this Sunday would prolly be too much for a beginner.

You should start at the driving range. :)

[QWKsilvr808]

My uncle is in. He said he's gonna try and set us up for Royal Kunia.

[QWKsilvr808]

OK, looks like we've got more than 4 ppl so Mark is gonna set us up with a tee time at Luana Hills instead!

He's calling today to set one up for 10AM on Sunday. Ppl going so far include myself, Mark, Chris, possibly Sean, Gary, and my uncle and a couple of his friends. :)

[hKGuRLx0882x]

the higher the better! i think it's like 45+ supposed to be.. anything under is no good.. and they go bad.. so you have to replace them every year

Golf was fun but it was really long...it was fun running over golf balls with the carts and having divots go farther than hitting the ball........
