I'm finding I have a severe lack of friends who golf. Trying to find someone to golf on Saturday morning has been a chore.

duh--it's football season--Game Day

It's definitely not that. Part of the problem is I only really know a handful of people locally that golf. 

At this point I'm hoping no one else joins my tee time and I can fly through the course. Last time I played 18 holes early on my own I was done is just over 2 hours.

Shot a 92. Started on the 10th hole, played the front 9 six shots better than the back. I had 20 putts on the back, only 13 on the front, including a chip in on hole 1. I'm guessing the greens drying off had a lot to do with it.

I feel ya man. I’m moving to Dublin, Ohio in May and have no clue who I’ll be golfing with next year. Anyone know how long drive times are from there to Marysville?

I left a 53 deg Nike wedge on a hole yesterday, and it's looking like whoever found it kept it instead of turning it in at the clubhouse. I was contemplating replacing it with a 52 deg wedge anyway, but it still sucks.

i fucked my wrist up about 6 weeks ago working on the farm with my Father In Law. It's still giving me issues, haven't been able to swing since then. I was playing every friday up till then, and i've missed 3 big golf tournaments i'd signed up for so i'm getting pretty bummed out. Factor in that winter is about to shut me down for like 4 months and i'm really getting pissed off.

That sucks. I had a wrist injury about 4 years ago that lingered for a long time. Hopefully yours is less severe.

if it's not better by thanksgiving i'm going to get an mri. honestly it hurts more severly now when i try to make certain movements than it did when it first happened, but when it first happened, it just hurt all the damn time no matter what i was doing.

Local girl from Hillsboro just shot a 65 to win the district championship. She shot a 29 on the front.

That's crazy.

Anyone ever use Maltby components from Golf Works? Given I grew up in Newark I'm thinking of stopping by the next time I'm in town. I've heard great things, I'm considering getting a set of wedges to start.

Anybody else still golfing? I've packed it in for the year, cold weather and wind has just made it too shitty to play

Played last Saturday morning. Have a tee-time for 11:18 today, playing it by ear due to the rain. It looks like it's clearing up so I'm hopeful we'll get to play.

Pretty excited as in a week I am going to Titilest Performance Level 1 certification in Detroit. Met one of the cofounders at a CEU course and he is a very dynamic speaker.  Hopeful I can pick up some tips for my own game while being able to identify problems with my clients swings.

My playing partner bailed, so we'll see if I end up playing today. Might try to play 9 holes later in the evening.

Didn't end up playing this weekend. Yesterday would've been perfect, but we already had plans. Tuesday in Cincinnati looks ideal, I might need to take off a little early from work.

I was in need of waterproof golf shoes and found a great deal on amazon for these Puma's. With the sale price, plus $21 coupon, plus rewards points, they only cost $31. I tried on the blue pair at Golf Exchange a while back and they were ridiculously comfortable, but also would've been over $100.

Leaving work early today to take advantage of what looks like the last possible weekday to play a round. Playing Stonelick Hills, which is one of the nicer courses in the area.
