Hope you all have a great time.
Wish I could be there to play too.
Golf has become one of my favorite sports.
When I can afford to play that is.
My best score was a 79 on a par 70 course. I par'd the front nine and shot nine over on the back.
The back nine was much tougher than the front nine.
And I didn't reach that scoring goal until I had played for 6-7 yrs.
Now days I don't get to play much, so my scores are more in the mid to low 90's.
High 80's if I get to practice enough.
A very tough game to score well at if you don't play on a regular basis.
I was playing at least twice a week when I played the 79.
Don't forget your golf etiquette while playing guys. Have fun.

Most golf pro shops at the courses or golf supply stores will have (Rules Of Golf) & (Golf Etiquette) mini books. They're real tiny so you can fit them into your pocket.
Space is getting tight in my car. I can bring 2 extra sets (1 spoken for already) of clubs but if I only need the 1, that is going to make things much easier for me.
Thanks.

All we need is a golf bag and 5 clubs... I've done that before. Grabbed a crappy 1950's golf bag and went golfing with a bud with no clubs. When we got there, I gave him 4 clubs and a driver. Passed the test.
um serious, I play with the same guys every weekend, and we dont share clubs. When you spend $1000-$2000 on clubs, you dont share. I can see the $100 bag of clubs from a yard sale sharing, but I'm not letting anyone use my Nike Sasquatch driver. Every club is different, even from the same company. When I switch drivers it took me a good 3 months to adjust to the new driver to hit consistant.
Also, rules state 1 set of clubs per person. Luckily the course we are playing doesnt even take tee-times so I don't see a problem with club lending if we need to.
once i get my desktop up again (crosses fingers), I'll post all my lan/golf pics. My laptop is too slow to convert raw->jpg (takes about 1min to even preview in picasa).

bloody maries are more acceptable.
Golf course doesnt take reservations. It's first come first serve Mon-Fri.
So, the real quest becomes, GETTING EVERYONE UP TO GO PLAY!
I played 9 yesterday with my buddy, and even giving each other mulligans I shot a 51. It's going to be a long morning lulz.
I'm gonna tell everyone the night before and attempt ONCE to wake you up to go play. Those who get up, will play, those who don't, SOL.
So, I suggest if you really want to play you don't get ****faced the night before, just the thought. Not like I don't know or anything...

Yah! CB is gonna play so we have 8 players for a 4vs4 scramble!!!
Who is planning on golfing and needs clubs.

MAYBE JARED DEPENDING ON AIRLINE.
I am bringing extra set. Ryder is. so jared, you need clubs?
I don't see why each team needs more than one set, myself, but I'm not a very avid golfer... a club is a club to me...
I don't even know the difference among them. I just use whatever the people I'm playing with suggest... :/
Most courses have a rule that says 1 set of clubs/person. Sharing clubs slows down play.
Also, rules state 1 set of clubs per person. Luckily the course we are playing doesnt even take tee-times so I don't see a problem with club lending if we need to.
yus i got shwaip covered. I am bringing my old set.
My whole set of clubs (plus a rather nice bag) cost me $35 at Play it Again Sports :P
Can I use the set of clubs he was going to use so I won't have to check my clubs?
If someone needs them, thats cool I'll lug mine along, but if we have an extra set id rather just use those then check mine.
cheers
yea thats fine if thats how it is.
Ryder, QCH2002, and CB were victorious in the First IC Lan Golf Scramble. We finished 4 under par with a 66 for 18 holes.
T_T, Fatcat, Shwaip, and Jared finished even par, I believe? A good time was had by all, I think.
P.S.... Beer cart chick was hot, Golf Carts and sprinklers mix very well, and CB loves to drive the cart
Def. one of the highlights of the LAN for me. It was nice to get out of the house, enjoy the great weather, and tear up the greens.
The course may of been cheap (price wise) but it was very nice.
We must go back next year.
cheers
