fingers crossed, those middling cheques wont keep the kids in clothes for much longer

Topic: Rules of Golf / Rules of Amateur Status question

I wouldn’t assume anything with a club. Some of them work on hearsay, some never bother to check. Some would be naively ignorant.

And from the decision quoted by thieftaker above it would appear that they haven’t checked or are naively ignorant as you say. It’s a worry.

Topic: Rules of Golf / Rules of Amateur Status question

I’d ask the club themselves, hopefully they have already run it by the state association.

Topic: Golf Talk / ISG 2008 PGA Tour Tipping - The Players Championship

Ah the great missed cut debate….

How about having the MC penalty a progressive one, ie. first missed cut gets doubled, and any subsequent MC’s are trebled. If this doesn’t make sense its ‘cause I’m halfway through a bottle of red ;-)

Muntz you are doing a great job, (don’t let anyone tell you different), and as with most things in Golf (fantasy or otherwise), what goes around comes around, so maybe just leave it as is. (so just ignore my suggestion above lol)

Suspect picked up a 6 figure cheque for the Players Championship helping him push up to 8th – amazing what a bit of visualization can do.

Hopefully hit the bottom of the curve and I’m now on the way back up!!!!

61 is a very low number, unless he shot it on par 3 course. Maybe a typo – 71?

Reverse every natural instinct you have and do just the opposite of what you are inclined to do and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing. – BEN HOGAN, POWER GOLF

maybe 61 nett!!!!

Topic: Golf Equipment / What Driver to get???

Agree with Mr. C, don’t go spending your money yet, check the warranty. If you can get a replacement, use the money that her indoors thinks you are going to spend on a new driver on something else, (just don’t tell her)

Topic: Golf Equipment / Golfing Catalogues

I will certainly be keeping a closer eye on these catalogues in the future, I don’t think I’ve been rorted in the past, but then again I haven’t had the cash to go splashing around.

Topic: Golf Talk / how long did it take you to break 100 (legitimately)

Well my 4th round was a 99 but our course is short and par is 66, so I’m not counting that.

My 12th and 13th rounds were 90 and 89, So I’m taking those.
