Daily Golf - Where you are playing and how you go

[Dogmatic]

Hey all, I was just wondering where everyone buys there gear from? Is there any little shops online or in person that have good sales or just good all around service? Alternatively are there any second hand/ used sites or stores people use?

how did you go FS?

Finally back out on the course on Monday, although not happy with the 7.35am timeslot after a solid weekend on the gas!

Oh well, hopefully can improve off the tee as the rest of the game isnt toooo rusty.

TTG should be in great condition, maybe slightly heavy and slowish greens!

3ballsgolf on ebay is very good.

Between them and rockbottomgolf I've filled my entire bag for around a third of the price of what I'd pay locally. A golfing gold mine.

That golf shop on South Road next door to the Avoca (Edwardstown) has excellent golf ball prices.

Think its called Golf Clearance Outlet or something like that.

Played echunga today course what a mud pit, but still shot 74 off bat so got to be happy with that

Do any of the regular golfers on here use a spreadsheet or something similar to keep tabs on their handicap? My mates and I generally play very sporadically during the warmer months when footy commitments aren't as heavy and we've got to the stage where we'd like to estimate what sot of handicap we'd play off, without joining a specific club.

you could become a member of golf link and they do that for you!
and you would get a proper handicap

Nice work Rocky- what are you playing off?

[ROCKYB]

Playing off 8 at moment , but now I am taking break from cricket hope to get down to 2 or 4 by this time next year.If want to get an idea on handicap and are not a member take average from 5 rounds by adding up total of all five cards and divide by 70 or 72 depending on course rating that you are playing example 77 78 78 80 79 =392 divide by 72 =5.4 or divide by 70=5.6 so this would give you a handicap of 6

has anyone ever bought anything of hear almost looks to good to be true are they genuine brands or copies?

[heater31]

only catch is with Rockbottom is that it is a U.S based website. Prices are listed in U.S dollars and then you have to pay for postage to Australia

I bought a driver for Christmas from Callaway used golf site. Got a $700 driver for about $140 plus postage (which was steep at about $45 IIRC). I ordered the club in good condition which means its shown signs of usage, but when I received it, it was practically new. Couldn't find a scratch on it.

I would have no hesitation buying more gear from Callaway in this way, except maybe buy more things or order with a mate so that we can split the postage.

looking forward to heading down to Normanville for the upcoming weekend and having a hit at Lady Bay on Sat, anyone been there recently? I dare say like most courses at this time of the year its not in tip top shape....just praying for good weather!

My brother played there 3-4 weeks ago and mate played in a comp there 2 weeks ago.
Both just commented on it being so windy
was that windy and weather no good the comp didnt get completed.

Played at Sandy Creek/Gawler on Friday.
Great course in great nick.
Only down side was being unable to putt on the greens.
I'm not a bad putt, but these were faster than your first root and nearly impossible to read. Lol

[MatteeG]

Back into the 'swing' played South Lakes a couple of weeks ago and hit 38 points, didnt scratch a hole. First time in years!

Played Murray Bridge last week, hit 81 off the stick, just some costly missed putts and a couple of wayward tee shots prevented a really decent round. Was hitting some nice approach shots (for a change!). Course in good nick as always.


Next stop Wirrina this sunday. Hope the greens have grass on em this time!

Totally agree with ya on the greens. Its funny when someone taps a putt on one side of the green and a minute and a half later it rolls off the other side of the green.

Yeah you can safely add an extra shot a hole onto your score when you play there. Last I played I had a 99 there, but hit an 83 at Balaklava the week before and an 84 the week after playing there.
