Had an awesome incident last Saturday.<br />
<br />
We were all playing OK with no one playing outstanding. IN general I was the long driver but one guy smacked a pearler and out did me by about 10 metres on the N05 stroke hole. Split the fair way in half. He was so stocked waiting by his ball while watching us play out 2nd shot.<br />
<br />
He completely shanked his second and biffed his club which made me start laughing as he is always so relaxed and never throws his toys but he biffed his club so well it went off the fairway and through the back passenger window of one fo the cars in the carpark. <br />
<br />
I was crying with laughter. -
haha holy shit! That would have been classic!<br />
<br />
Seen a few people lose it on golf courses over there years including a guy who smacked his 2nd [s]shit[/s] shot straight in to the trunk of a tree and then proceeded to try and chop it down with his 3 iron. -
when I was a bit younger, I was playing bloody well in a tournament, and hit a shot in some trees, I needed to play a low punch about 250m, so pulled out my 3 wood, which I nailed, problem was in the process I wrapped it round a tree trunk, snapping the shaft clear in half sending the head flying...toward my golf bag, and by some freak of the golf gods, has connected right smack in the middle of the shaft of my driver, which damaged it's graphite shaft as well...

I often tell that story -
I was on a golf weekend a few years back, on the first day my four ball were on the 12th tee and we decided to let the pair behind us play through, whilst hanging around on the tee waiting for them to clear the fairway, I was playing keepy uppy with an old ball on the head of my driver. We were stood on top of a very steep hill which dropped away to the left of the tee and wasn't part of the golf course, I flicked the ball up, took a running swing and absolutely nailed the ball about 300 yards off the top off the hill. Whilst feeling very smug and holding the baseball style pose watching the ball disappear into the ether, I heard a thunk as the top half of my driver landed at my feet, leaving me standing there holding just the handle. That resulted in a severe drinking fine later in the day.

Had my first round with the new irons on Wednesday. Found them to be really nice to hit and easier too control than my old ones. Still adjusting to the distances on them and struggled with the wedges alot. But overall I'm very happy with them. My driving was woeful though - kept pushing it down the righthand side and ended up losing 3 balls during the round.<br />
<br />
Still managed to shoot an 85 but it was the par 3s that saved me as ended up 1 under for those. -
I hate Srixon gear for some reason and will never play with a Srixon ball. Stuffs me mentally just seeing it on the tee. <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/rugby/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Played a corporate day last week (i love this time of year). 4 part timers in my grioup and we managed to hit 6-under. Even with max handicaps, we came nowhere, too many serious fullas at this one.<br />
<br />
Did have my best ever golf moment though. On the 10th they had a "pay the pro" hole, where for a $5 donation you could get the club pro to take your tee-shot. We all paid the money, so we could pick the best one, but i decided to hit my own as i shanked the previous hole. The pro hit first, and split the fairway, 100m from the green, great shot. I hit 2nd, and fucking smoked it, possibly the best drive i have ever hit, 60m from the green, dead centre of the fairway. The pro got the shits and refused to hit the other 2 shots we paid for! i didn't care, i was stoked as fuck.<br />
<br />
I have been using Adams balls for about a year, and i love them. i always thought different balls affecting your play was marketing bullshit, but i seem to hit these balls better than any others. -
$60 a dozen??!! fuck me! even though i don't lose anywhere near as many as i used to, that is still an outrageous amount of money! i wait until Golf World have one of their many, many sales, and get those Adams for about $24 (normally down from $40).

I think it's pretty clear i am out of my depth in this thread

I generally pay $85 for a Doz Pro v and then I still feel like I'm getting a bargain.<br />
[/quote]I have about 100 prov 1's left from my last company just kicking around at home. Used to pick them up 50+ at a time for free, I miss that job.
