I'm not a pro but for getting better I recommend the hammer game

You play dollar skins with carry overs and tpresses automatically accepted if you're down then the hammer works like the backgammon doubling cube. If you hammer, the hole bet either doubles or your opponent concedes the hole bet. you get a few hammers carry overs and presses, next thing you know you're playing a single hole for like five hundred bucks

he spent $700 on clubs. He never won a game in his life.

alright say they have golf carts for free use

you also get to gamble on one of three situations:

a) you are playing well, the people in front are not, you get to wait and do nothing while they muddle around. you might be able to play through, but some courses don't allow it and get SUPER PISSED if you do. if it's a full day you're just stuck waiting.

b) you are playing like poo poo, the people behind are waiting on you and you're causing a huge wait and people are getting pissed

c) everyone plays at about the same rate

C happens less than a third of the time.

you are very angry at golf.

Sadly, video games are the new tennis for narcissistic sociopaths :(


Also I support this thread now being about Maria sharapova


tennis is way more expensive than golf. The initial cost is less, just a racket instead of a set of clubs, but you have to live in a rich place, or join a club or some poo poo to play tennis

I'm able to play tennis for $5/hr and also there are three free public courts within 3 miles of me and this is in a not excessively nice part of Dallas.

so what i'm saying is lol

$5 an hour eh? I can play golf for like $15 and it takes about four hours. I think my hobby is just a bit more frugal than yours.

I birdied 18, it was a good finish. Slightly pull hooked my drive into the right rough and didn't have a good go for the green shot, so I hit 6 iron to just short of the water and had 83 left to the pin. A nice three quarter gap wedge left me a four foot uphill right breaker which I made.

You are a way better player than I could ever hope to be!

no I just had a good hole, I'm not an internet posting golfer that hits my driver 350 on a bad day

it was a 500 par five with a down hill tee shot and uphill seconds. There's no chance of me hitting the green unless I hit a 250+ drive which happens like once every three rounds

so really I hit a 230 yard drive then and 160 yard shot that cut part of the distance off because of the able I took

I only had two birdies on the day

only two? and you don't think you are better at golf then me? I only ever got one par. and that was an accident.
