smudgedon Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Anyone on here a regular player? I played a lot as a junior and got down to a handicap of 5 when I was 16, but school and stuff started to take upy time I have been advised to take it up again to get me out and about when I'm recovered from surgery, and was wondering what people consider to be the best bats to use nowadays? My Ping i3's have been around for nearly 8 years so want to get something new What do other people play off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I play off the Tee in most instances, and use Taylor Made R11 irons and R11s woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twobears Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Sorry, I think golf is the most boring game ever invented so no help from me but I hope you enjoy playing again Mr Two Bears is sometimes asked if he plays golf and feels certain that the 'correct' answer is 'but of course', unfortunately he shares my view of the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgedon Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 It's boring to watch I'll admit that, but playing it is awesome Relieves stress, good exercise, good scenery, if you get 2 buggies then it's ALWAYS funny and if you play well you feel really good about it afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobears Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Gosh yes, I would rather watch some Farrow & Ball dry than watch a golf contest I'll have to take you word for it being more fun to play. I was forced to stay in a golfing hotel with work once and had to 'play' (I use the word loosely) with the proper golfists. Such fun. Not. If I'd had my horse with me it would have been fun mind you; all that lovely grass to gallop round on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Play off 21 with Callaway X16 Pro. Like with anything, best to go and try a few sets out for yourself so you get a feel for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobears Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 "Someone once told me golf is a game of "ifs & putts"" Or 'yawns and lawns'? Or did I just make that one up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Yes, I used to play. A few of us would finish nights in the summer at 5:30 and go for a round on our local municipal in Flint, before anyone else arrived . My next door neighbor's Dad was very high up at Vicar's Cross Golf Club in Chester so I used to play there once a week as well for free. Didn't keep it up for long, less than a year I guess and was never a member of a club so I never had an H/C, but my neighbor had an H/C of 10 and I was around his level.

If I'd had my horse with me it would have been fun mind you; all that lovely grass to gallop round on Years ago my horse bolted out of a public footpath and straight onto a golf course! I got verbally abused by lots of old men in strange trousers for the 10 minutes it took me to control him again!! I get you completely on the 'lovely grass' thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 i'm just handicapped....that is all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bems Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I quit when my handicap ever increasing reach 15 and I just wasn't enjoying the torture of it. Play the occasional game with mates or when on holiday but I too have been threatening to join a club again. Still have my callaway X14's and still strike them well. If it ain't broke........

rothers2901 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Stick with the Ping's. I have used the I15's since they came out and there as good as anything on the market. The difference now days is the technology in the woods and hybrids. It's all down to preference. Iv'e been of 2 handicap for many years now and have no intentions of changing.
