    If given the opportunity I would definitely give it a go, only one way to figure out if I like it or not!

    Grats on qualifying to move on to another tourny though!
    Thanks! It's not as expensive as you think.

    You can get something like that for just starting out. They are not the best clubs, but they are cheaper than the high end stuff and will play much better than older clubs.

    I'm on 25 and I was golfing alone all the time when I was 21. Got paired up with some really cool people who actually turned out to have a lot of connections due to their careers.

    Wow that's actually pretty cool man, thanks! I might have to look around where I live to find some decent golf courses to start with. I'll definitely be checking into this

    Couldn't hurt! It's practically the only sport you can play your whole life. btw...Twilight greens fees are awesome, especially if you're going alone. They practically cut the price in half.

    It would be really bad for me to play with people th a lot of connections because I'm terrible and would ruin my good name :P

    This is a good site for certified pre-owned callaway. They own the site actually.
    For your game, You'd probably love a Hybrid iron set. They make contact really easy. Or something with a large cavity back like the RAZR

    If you're looking to spend a little less I'd go with these...

    Every club in that set is a hybrid.
    Good info, thank you. Also, that's damn impressive shooting in the high 60's. My problem is my putting. I can usually put it on the green with a chance for par but end up 2 or 3 putting my way to a bogey.

    Haha? What does that have to do with this. I was just saying He plays golf and was clearly getting freaky.
    I play a lot and still make time for my girlfriend, More now because WoD sucks and I only log in for like 15 minutes to do garrison missions or log on for raid night.

    I used to play when I was younger but pretty much stopped. I do still go to the driving range on occasion, but any golf I play now is usually preceded by the word "mini".

    Well he was getting freaky, I mean REALLY freaky, because of Golf. It's like those kids who grow up in a crazy-conservative religious environment and then break out and turn to drugs and prostution. It's kind of a freak reaction.

    And See? You have to thank Blizzard that you still have a sex life, otherwise Golf would have completely eradicated that.
