I think only mats. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I hate hitting off the mats.

[bluntman]

Me too. What makes it worse is that I hit left handed so if I show up I\'ll either have to keep moving the mat around whenever I hit or buy myself my own stall. :(

[Broli]

just mats i believe!
at least the part we go to!
its all good about lefties, we can just put the plug thingy in both holes!

right?

also . . .
there were some lefties b4 no worries!

[whodilly]

Just mats, but they\'re left and right handed.

I hate mats too... :( need some grass :D

[chimp]

the mat thing is an issue since its hard on graphite shafted clubs.
the idea is great.
did you guys ever organize a golf outing sometime last year?
i know there are a few courses in the east end where i am that is pretty good price and its a fun afternoon out on the course?

They use mats, no worries I\'m left handed too!! But It\'s decent pricing for 2hrs.

[bluntman]

What time is everyone showing up?

[Broli]

It depends on how this turnout goes, if people are willing to show up then it can be a weekly thing, 3-4 people per stall comes out to roughly $10 per person, damn cheap!!!

I don\'t mind going weekly, the more practice the better.

I\'m thinking 8pm-10pm, its not too early and its not too late seeing that it\'s sunday night, what\'s a good time for everyone who is showing up?

[bluntman]

8pm sounds good to me.

[Broli]

on days where i can show 8 is good!
on the days i can, well i work until 1015 so i would miss those!

if u make it weekly it is all good!
if u make it biweekly
could u run in on my day shift weekends?

[bluntman]

Am I supposed to bring my whole set or just the driver?

It\'s up to you, I usually bring my whole set so I can practice with all the clubs.

[whodilly]

Be there at 9... but i\'ll stay longer.

[Xenon]

I\'ll be there, but I\'m only going to hang out...

My clubs are in Oakville, and if anyone has seen my trunk recently, you will know why I can\'t fit my clubs in :D

[Xenon]

On second though, i\'m going to pass. The drive there is a little far with gas prices like this:

[SABIO]

what kind of price is that???
I was down around St. Clair and Vic Park..it was only $1.01 Up here in Newmarket it is $1.06

[bluntman]

Is anyone else\'s back bothering them this morning?

[SIM SIMMA]

Haha... did you stretch? getting old man...

Was this your first \"golfing\" activity of the year?

[bluntman]

hehehe...

<shakes fist>

!!!Young whipper-snapper!!!

:p

[whodilly]

LOL. I\'m used to the miscellaneous aches and pains after golfing. I especially feel it in my right knee... too much hip action!

[bluntman]

Must have been due to the cold and damp conditions. Otherwise, I was completely surprised by the distance I was getting from my new driver.

[SIM SIMMA]

hehe... if you consider 30 young then sure...

I\'m just asking because I notice more aches and pains after sports now... and to prevent them i just stretch before... it helps.

bluntman... What kind of driver do you have?

I just bought myself a (brand new, but last year\'s model) Cobra SZ 460cc driver from Golf Town. I was looking at getting a Nike SasQuatch or this year\'s Cobra driver, but I saw this one on sale. Since it\'s basically the same model driver that I already have, just with a larger head (previous driver was a 9 degree Cobra SZ 400cc) and with a newer, better shaft (stiff flex Aldila NV vs. stiff flex Aldila HM) I jumped at it...I didn\'t even take it for a swing in their simulator.

Maybe I\'ll trade in my 400cc driver for a hybrid. Hmmm...

[SIM SIMMA]

Nice club...

I think my mom is looking at the ladies Cobra... she loves using the Cobra drivers...

I am in my second year of using the Taylor Made R7...

Hybrids are good man... i replaced my 3/4 irons with a Nike forged utility iron.. i think if anything... this year i may add a hybrid to the bag.

[bluntman]

The thing is, I like my long irons. For some reason I don\'t like my woods, esepcially off of the fairway. :( Maybe I\'ll look into getting a \"0\" hybrid.

[SIM SIMMA]

get a 3 hybrid...

you won\'t go back... trust me.

hit it like you would your long irons... WHAMMO

I only carry my driver... no 3 or 5

[bluntman]

A 3 hybrid huh? I really like the new Taylormade hybrids with the weights, but they won\'t be available in left handed until the summer. Any suggestions?

[SIM SIMMA]

I\'ve used the older technology.. this one..

http://www.golftown.com/gtcommerce/stores/1/TaylorMade-Rescue-Mid-Steel-Shaft-P943C22.aspx

But want to try the ones you are talking about...

i have not tried any other hybrids except for Taylor mades... and I swung a Nike one before too... it was ok... they are more affordable.

Go to Golftown and grab a couple brands (limited choices I think due to you being a lefty) and take a few whacks in the simulator...

[bluntman]

For only $98 the Nike CPR3 looks good.

[SIM SIMMA]

go test it out... see if you like the feel and the distances you get.

:)

go now! we\'ll have a mini meet at golf town
