Aaron Veteran Posted July 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2005 Hey nancy....Ever done the elephant walk? :laugh: 586206790[/snapback] You mean not clearing the reds? Well we all claim that's the punishment, but really none of us want to see that... :x Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/343401-golf/page/2/#findComment-586206920 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Veteran Posted July 13, 2005 Veteran Share Posted July 13, 2005 :rofl:Very true. It's funny enough knowing what they couldn't do. :laugh: 586207175[/snapback] Exactly. I have seen a few posts saying how awesome it is to crush a 300 yd. drive. I have done that before, my average drive is usually about 250 though. However, for me I get a lot more satisfaction from a crafty iron shot than a musceled up drive. Shaping a shot and sticking it on the green - to me THAT is exciting. What about you guys, what shot really gets you going? Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/343401-golf/page/2/#findComment-586207558 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 I like watching it sometimes or just playing pitch and putt, don't know why. I just do :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/343401-golf/page/2/#findComment-586207563 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting a drive one the sweet spot is also great for me. My very first birdie early on in my golf career is what kept me striving to improve.

Shaping a shot and sticking it on the green - to me THAT is exciting. What about you guys, what shot really gets you going? 586207558[/snapback] A type of shot that gets me motivated is clearing the ladie's tee on the first hole (so the nancies don't get laughing about dressing up in all the gear, and hit such a pathetic drive). After that, a shot I like to do to challenge myself is go to the farthest back tee, go one club down than what I should be using, and see if I can manage to make myself a perfect shot. Although, something that is making me quite excited is that I'm rebuilding my swing. Currently, I'm able to hit a 3-wood around 225-240, which is quite exiciting compared to when I was about a year ago. The new swing is giving me better control over my ball, allowing me to perform some backspin tricks, as well as being able to introduce hook/slice when I want too. :) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/343401-golf/page/2/#findComment-586208801 Share on other sites More sharing options...
.... Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 My favorite shot is hitting my wedge 160 yards...we have a par three on the course I go to a lot, and I usually use the wedge on it. :yes: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/343401-golf/page/2/#findComment-586209175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbluepride35 Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Personally, I've been wanting to pick golf up for 3-4 years now but lo and behold I am a mere college student and cannot invest the time or money at the moment. Hopefully once I get into a career I will have the funds and weekends to do so. What attracts me to the sport is how quickly you can go from being in a state of euphoria over an incrdeible shot to, on the next hole maybe, shooting 6 over par. I can't think of another sport where fortunes can turn that quickly and that dramatically. It's exciting to me. And I hope that picking it up will help me gain more patience (or end up costing me a club each time I went out :p). Anyway. that's why I personally find it so appealing. O and that anyone willing to invest the time and effort can play it.

Behemoth Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Nothing better than going out early Saturday morning and playing a round of golf with some friends. The best feeling is when you pure one off the tee right down the middle or put one trump tight right up against the flag - can't beat it. BTW -had my first Eagle last weekend on a Par 5 - felt awesome. :happy: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/343401-golf/page/2/#findComment-586213309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyko Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Awesome job Behemoth! Eagles are quite rare to come by (if you're an amateur or just normal player like ourselves). I managed to pull out a birdie today and what's so wierd about it is I scuffed the chip and it still went 3 feet away from the hole! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/343401-golf/page/2/#findComment-586218959 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 I play it sometimes. I find it relaxing and a challenge. Just to improve my score each time. Its fun and relaxing, generally.
