Which in a country like ours could prove priceless. Really, that's interesting. As you say, playing here you don't get many calm days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rory was quoted saying that, plus I watch a few of the YouTube review guys and they said similar. Bigsasasfloppyhair 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am usually a prov1x man but hearing great things about this ball and tempted to give it a try and see. I think it is better than the pro v1x, bought 2 dozen a month ago.

RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I think in this day most gold balls are very similar I use the Callaway chrome soft truvis in medals the now. Was going to change but have a few of them. Heard the taylormade ball is good but I have just never liked taylormade as a company don't know how think it's with how often they used to bring clubs out. Hitting the ball decent the now have a medal tomorrow as usual the course was in not bad nick on Wednesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cushynumber 25,178 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Had an actual stand up argument with a guy who phoned me last night re a tie to be played in a 2 ball 4 some. I have been on a couple of weeks holidays and he phones last night to arrange the tie. Comes on all attitude saying he text me with 3 dates . Now, I haven't had any text but regardless my playng partner is also on holiday now and this guy expects me to forfeit the tie! I told him to fuck off and that I would get a weeks extension from match and handicap. He starts rabbiting on about "so we have to sit about waiting for you"...etc. Not happy. Wee tadger. I can't wait for the tie now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of my mates play every year in it, but a few years ago the two of them were arguing and as a result one deliberately put the other one in a bunker ???

My partner has a higher handicap than me so can be good or pish. When he is pish I am never out rough, bunkers, woods, all the shie you can think of. When he is good, I am a spectator almost.

Aye it's a format that when you are both decent it just works. Actually found in the past that if you are both consistent off the tee it makes a huge difference as you are in play.

dummiesoot 16,006 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Played this morning, shite front 9, sitting 2 under for the back 9 with two to go. Finish bogey, triple to not only not get cut but also miss the buffer. To say I am pissed off is an understatement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFC RYAN 2,967 Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Chipped in at 10th for a 2 lost a ball off the next tee so had a 7 then lost a ball on 14 and NR'd thought I would have got it. So got a 2 lost 2 balls and NRd just about sums it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
