Do you know what a good driver (golf club) can cost?

Enjoy your new printer. You should be proud!

Callaway Diablo. Probably get three or four new printers.
Printers
don't come with graphite shafts. But then, Callaway drivers
don't
come
with WalMart stickers.

~snerk~

Herring needs a chinese knockoff callaway to shoot in the
90's...my
uncle shot in the low to mid 70's most of his life with a set of
cheap wilson clubs from a sporting goods store.

BTW, I'd guess my new printer cost at least twice as much as your
$200 driver.

Callaway Diablo can be had for $186 from Overstock.

In Herring's hands, it'll just put him that much further into the
woods.

I can hit my $29 second hand Taylormade 540HD 100 yards further
than
Herring with his new Diablo. Waste of money on a feeble old man.

Maybe he should have donated that money to a worthy cause, like
Race
for the Cure.

Heheh...my new printer was $414...though I suppose with herring's
taste, he could have bought "three or four" printers that serve his
needs for that amount of money.

I don't know anything about golf. I played one or two rounds almost
40
years ago. My 93-year-old uncle played 18 holes four times a week
until his 90th...he's slowed down a bit but he did play and win a
good
number of local senior tournaments as an amateur. Uncle retired at
55
and moved to Boca Raton from Salem, Massachusetts. He plays with a
cheap, old set of clubs.

Wow! $414! My new Colt AR15 was $1700. Do I win a prize?

I am so impressed with the golf stories by Harry and jps's golf club.
Wow, a Taylormade 540HD 100 - what a club! That's like a Porsche 911,
something I dream of, but will never obtain.
And Harry's uncle! What a man.

I'm surprised Harry didn't tell you about the time he shot in the
low
70's when he first tried golf way back when. You've probably never
heard that story, but it was a good one.


Sorry, **** for brains...I shot in the 80's and it was at the Boca
Raton
Club. Rented clubs, too. But don't forget to repeat your lie about me
a
few hundred times...so it beccmes part of the book of mis-knowledge
here.

From what you have posted here, my 93-year-old uncle could still whip
your ass on the golf course.


First time out? Bull****, Harry.

First time I ever played. I shot a 91. Do not think I ever got that
low
again when I played golf.



9 Holes, Bill?

Maybe 18, but with very loose rules would be my guess. Oh, and lots of
'gimmies'.

Nope, no gimmies. I was actually a great putter. Peewee golf was easy in
my younger days. But I was maybe 23 when I first played. One of those
days, where never hit a sand trap, and since I did not drive the ball 300
yards, and those 150 yards I drove were low and down the fairway. Good
roll. Clubs were too short for me, so never drove those balls in to the
boonies. Do not think I ever equaled that score more than 1 or 2 times.
Normally shot 100-110.


That would make life rough for me. I've shot in the 80's four times
since I started playing six years ago. Now I'm disappointed if I don't
shoot in the 80's!

If my first round had been a 91, I'd have been disappointed for years!
