chris.brock Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) Before I clicked on this I could have sworn Bill's reply was going to be "do you wear the blue and yellow gloves for golfing too?" Hahaha Post some pictures Rick, it would be interesting to see what the course looks like up there, maybe even a little Fin's and Skins too Edited April 16, 2015 by chris.brock

manitoubass2 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Posted April 16, 2015 The course is very dry. Distance control should be fun hahah
misfish Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 First round of the year Ill be lucky to shoot around 83 ish. Gonna be fun!!! Not bad for the first 9.
crappieperchhunter Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Love golf. Used to have a membership every year and get out tons when I worked the continental shifts with days off through the week. Got my game down to high 80's low 90's on a real course. Then I had kids and discovered panfish...so I golfed less. Then I started working Monday to Friday and got a cottage...so I golfed even less. Haven't had my clubs out of the basement for 4 summers now. Just don't make the time for it anymore....BUT...when I retire I fully intend to get some other geriatric buddies and get out at least once a week. One of the things I'm looking forward to in retirement when I have more free time. Right now it's a distant 2nd to fishing and I just don't have time for both. Miss that sweet sound and feeling when you hit a perfect shot. It's happened twice I think
AKRISONER Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) i used to golf a lot in highschool, was a member at North Halton GCC in Georgetown for 3 years handicap was down into the 18 range. Now im lucky if i get out 3 times a year and break 100 ughhh. Its too friggin expensive for a 20 something with a mortgage. Im garbage but my friends are all damn good. The guy i golf with the most is a CPGA pro. Ive gotten to play some fantastic courses simply because I was with him. Usually during a break in teh summer i get out to Parry Sound Golf and Country Club, shot my best round ever there an 87! Edited April 16, 2015 by AKRISONER
Gnote Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 I usually play 15-30 rounds a year depending on time. Most of those are on a fairly low brow course but i get out to some decent ones as well. On a good course im low 80s to low 90s depending on what my driver decides is going happen on a given day lol. You smash a couple ob early and its hard to regain those strokes on the green.
manitoubass2 Posted April 16, 2015 Author Report Posted April 16, 2015 Not bad for the first 9. Hahahah Pretty easy course that Kitchen Creek is. That and I already have a few weeks practise in? On a good course Id shoot low 90s for sure
bigbuck Posted April 16, 2015 Report Posted April 16, 2015 Akrisoner, north halton is a nice track, played there a few years ago. Miss swatting at the stupid little white ball. Mortgage than kids got in the way of my game and I would not have it any other way. My clubs have been collecting dust for 3 years now. I am hoping to get out this summer.
manitoubass2 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Posted April 17, 2015 Just went and hit some long irons and woods at the range... Seems getting fat over the winter has knocked off a few yards ???
Headhunter Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 I consistently break 100 by stopping play at 99! It's been two years since I last golfed and the wife and I have decided that we will get our annual game in this year come hell or high water! HH

You smash a couple ob early and its hard to regain those strokes on the green. I hear ya. I learned years ago that if my driver isnt doing what I want its 3 wood off the tee. Ill sacrafice that distance for accuracy anyday. That being said my driver has been very good the last two years. If only I could learn to consistantly hit a draw (I generally hit a fade but can hit straight when I need too). Its weird cause I can draw all my long irons no prob.
AKRISONER Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Big Buck, NH is one of my favourite courses of all time, and ive played some pretty prestigious ones. If anyone is in the GB area Parry Sound is an unbelievably good track for a fantastic value. I suggest early tee times as pace can be horrible on a Saturday, just like any other public course. The course itself has some absolutely stunning holes encompassing the natural rocky surroundings, I highly highly recommend it. Guys all complaining about the driver, boys dont you remember? Shoot for show putt for dough, 60 percent of strokes are on the green!
manitoubass2 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Posted April 17, 2015 My wedges and putter are very good. Thats where I score. All my other clubs are good too but I lack distance. Average drive for me is 250. Thats why I need to be good on the wedges. Probably 80% off my practise goes to wedge play
Headhunter Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 Nothing wrong with a 250 yd drive MB! If you can consistently land on the fairway at 250, then you are doing well! HH
Gnote Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 My short game is also pretty tight, but at 6' 250 and golfing with a guy who played all his life i have to show what i got with the big stick? I average around 270-280 but have crushed a few well over 300. I have also never seen a dog leg right that i didnt think i could get over lol. Golfing is about consistency and i just dont have that so i have a couple drinks and a good time and let the game play out as it will.
manitoubass2 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Posted April 17, 2015 Nothing wrong with a 250 yd drive MB! If you can consistently land on the fairway at 250, then you are doing well! HH True enough. Id really like to get back to about 265, and I think I will this year as I loose some weight and practise. My 12 year old is obsessed with golf so we get out quite abit in the last 2 seasons. Hes a natural. Cant wait until his lessons this year. He shoots about 93 from the mens tees but last year his best round was 87 which is a friggen miracle. In my younger days I could hit 280ish but I was WAY more athletic then lol. But on kitchen creek I can still drive two greens, one is 305 to the front the other is 290. Not sure why but I always drive really good on those two holes. Then one hole I cant drive 230 haha. No idea why Golf, shes a funny game
Acountdeleted Posted April 17, 2015 Report Posted April 17, 2015 always figgered it was a one or the other thing (fishing & golf) where do you people find the time for both LOL Where do you guys find the money for both?
manitoubass2 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Posted April 17, 2015 Where do you guys find the money for both? I think most of us posting are a lil older then you Jeremy. My wife and I both work in good fields, but we manage our money well. Also green fees around here are pretty good. $35 for 18, so with a cart, some good eats and a few beers(if thats your thing its like $80 for a round. I get my son and I a membership and it cost 850 in total
manitoubass2 Posted April 17, 2015 Author Report Posted April 17, 2015 And I live in earshot of 3 waterbodies. Heck I can golf in the morning and fish all afternoon?
