Why on earth should Tiger play more than 15-20 a year? If the PGA Tour wants to mandate that he play 30 weeks, he'll just withdraw from the Tour, play 3 of the 4 majors plus WGC and some international events.

I feel ya big daddy. I made four pars the other day and was on top of the world. I think I might have pared four holes in my golfing life before that.

I also shot a 42 on the back 9, a personal best.

I played at a new course around where I live. Beautiful place. With tons of wild life. There website is pretty cool too.

Pernice is alway's rumming off at the mouth
I remember a comment I read, after a PGA Club Pro, made a US Open, and was playing with Pernice

The Club Pro, hit a bunker shot, and as Pernice walked by the bunker he told the club Pro's caddie " to spend a little more time raking the bunker, this wasn't a weekend round at his home course"

How about Centinnel Oak Ridge?

Bring plenty of balls. #10 is one of the toughest holes in this area, in my opinion. Long par 5, uphill tee shot with a forced carry over a gorge, OB right the entire length of the hole and the fairway slants that way, then sharp dogleg right to a very sloped green with a pond in front of it. Good times.

I had the round of my short golf life today. Shot a 47 on the front nine from the blue tees (didn't have time to play all 18) lol. What a day, I didn't screw up as much as I had. Maybe taking a few days off helped a little.

Also used my 3 iron today...to punch out from under a tree, thanks UT IE.

I am back to loving this game haha

47 is great RTE - unless it's an executive par 3 joint. :)

Keep up the practice - sounds like you have a new hobby.

I remember that hole
I've actually played the course twice, on different trips to Knoxville, but it's been a couple of years

I'm looking at a set of adams pro combos with true temper black gold shafts in the irons and proto shafts in the hybrids....any thoughts?

they are darn good looking clubs and all have top shelf shafts in them. I like those small looking hybrids.

I hit th proto shaft in my new driver and like it, but it is a low flight ride. I hit the project x shafts, but understand tht the black gold is the same stick.

I finally found a hybrid I like . . . a circa 1988 Taylor Made Tour Cleek that I found in my garage. I saw it the other day and thought "I really used to like that club". Then it dawned on me that it played the way I was wishing my hybrid would play. I had ditched it in college and haven't hit it since the early '90s.

I put a new grip on it and played with it today. It looks tiny compared to today's clubs, but it was amazing how well I hit.

I've got a hybrid question for anyone who knows much about them. I'm trying to find a hybrid to replace my 5-wood. For some reason, I have lost all control with that club and would like to get it out of my bag. I've tried several different hybrids (Ping G10, Taylormade, and now I'm playing with an old Titleist) but every one of them I seem to hook pretty bad. I normally play a slight draw with all my other clubs, but everytime I hit the hybrid, it ends up being a really strong hook. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

Welcome to my world. I hook the bejeezus out of every hybrid I have tried. It finally got so bad that I stuck the 2 iron back in the bag because at least I knew where it was going if I missed it.

It may not be a bad idea to get a 2 iron and get rid of the 5 wood. I hit my 3 and 4 irons pretty well and a 2 can't be that much different than either of those.

I think there are a few that are neutrally weighted. I hit the Bridgestone J33 which is neutral and the newly released J36 is neutral. Also, the Nickent 4dx is neutral as is the Adams Pro Series (or whatever it's called.

All of the rest have a draw bias in the internal weighting and are a hook waiting to happen. Couldn't stand them until I went to the Bridgestone I'm playing now.

I have a question for the golf experts. I just got into Golf a few months ago and have been sharing a set of clubs with my friend. Well, I want my own set now, so what is the best set that isn't too expensive for a starter such as myself?
