have any good set of golf clubs for sale?

[=RTM=]

There is a used golf shop on Austin HWY next to the planet K they have all kinds of crap. I would check the Sunday paper for sweet deals.

As soon as you find some, let me know so I can kick your ass all over the golf course :smokin

[batman2883]

I wanna pick it up big time, i just dont wanna spend a grand on a set damn it

[clambake]

Go to some local Muni courses and check the clubhouse for posted adds.

1K is not that much for a good set of clubs. If you're just starting out, do it right.

so it isnt that bad to pay that much then?? and yeah im just starting off and i wanna start off right i wanna pick it up and play it well

I've played for years. My first set was Powerbilt Citation woods and Scotchblade Irons. You couldn't find those anywhere, except in a museum.

TaylorMade "rac" is my club of choice. Look for a set that's about 3-4 years old. Shouldn't cost that much, and you won't regret it.

I have Callaway Big Bertha driver and #3 metal. That's really all you'll need. Learn to hit your 2 and 3 iron (rac's are solid).

Don't go crazy on a putter right away. Spend alot of time on the practice green. You'll need a wedge. Try a 56 degree to start. Not expensive.

sounds good anymore other tips for this begginner?

[clambake]

Don't hit the ball like you're chopping wood. Keep your back-swing on an even plane. Power comes from the hips and lower body. Practice, practice, practice is more important in the beginning, a lot cheaper, too.

Remember what you're getting into. Once you hit that perfect shot, it's like heroin.

[T Park]

first off, get a good used set, you dont need a brand new set.

second, GET LESSONS!!! Go over to san pedro and Joe Caruso's practice range, and use him, hes who i used in high school, and under him i went from 10 to a 3 handicap. Joe Caruso is a hell of a good instructor and I HIGHLY reccommend him.

third, to get a good used set, go to second chance golf on fredericksburg road i believe.

I highly reccomend the NIKE Slingshot irons, great set for mid to high handicappers.

batman, youll hear people wanting you to get fitted for clubs blah blah blah, well it does help and does need to be done, but not till you get a solid, consistent swing.

If you cant get into Joe caruso's place, La cantera Golf Academy is THE BESt, thats where I met Joe back in 98, and I still highly reccommend that place.

Good luck bat, keep a positive attitude, I gaurantee though, after you hit that first pure shot, you'll be hooked.

The great thing about golf, is its the game thats never mastered, its the game where you strive for perfection yet not one person ever meets it.

:tu

[Avitus1]

ebay?

[=RTM=]

I saw a nice set on eBay for 75.00 cash
















140.00 for shipping :lmao

[batman2883]

thanks guys i really really wanna hit the golf course hard guess i gotta start out at the driving range first whats the going rate for lessons anyways?

[clambake]

You'll have to check the local pros. Haven't had a lesson in 30 years. A good way to start, though. Good luck. You're about to begin an untreatable, expensive addiction.

[TheSanityAnnex]

I've got a set of Hogan Apex Blades 3-PW, Hogan Apex Pro 3-PW, Tommy Armour Evo Cavity v-25 3-PW, Mizuno MP33 3-PW, and Mizuno Tzoid Pro's 3-PW all laying around. I've wanted to sell them but I'm a fucking pack rat. I've got about a dozen Scotty Cameron putters sitting in my room as well, don't think I could ever sell those.

Ebay will be your best bet for finding decent irons for a decent price. I've gotten a lot of clubs off of ebay and never had a problem.

Your looking at 25 dollars an Hour. Tpark is right, if you go to the golf course they have all the answers. Clubs. lessons etc...

I will show you what I know for 25.00 Dollars a day. You won't be sorry I was semi pro back in the 80s.

[Re-Animator]

The key is relaxation. I suggest you smoke a joint and take a Volume on your first lesson. I need you lose out there. I am able to correct anyone's slice or Hook in 60 seconds.

As long as you relax and let the club do all the work and don't get upset when things don't go right. If you are one of those asshats that likes to throw his putter in the dirt every time he misses a Putt? then you better find someone else. I don't tolerate people with short fuses.

I hope you have better luck finding that bag I asked you for than you are having finding your clubs. I want to soup up your PC mighty mouse style.
don't let me down tonight. :wakeup

[Big Worm]

Some golf courses have escort girls serving drinks, how relaxed can you stay?

Are you some kinda Golf club Vampire? what the hell?

[T Park]

lol

I had some Hogan Apex Blades back in high school when they first came out, shot my lowest round ever with those puppys too, 75.

[CuckingFock]

I stopped using my golf clubs after I realized one certain stiff appendage was as good as any of them.

Playing with 2 balls will cost you a stroke.

[to21]

Don't do it sir......once you start, you'll be hooked.

I paid 500 for my first set (bought from a friend). After I got some experience under my belt I went to play some rounds with friends and saw what they had. I've bought three sets since then and the cheapest I put together was 1500 dollars. However, you don't need great expensive clubs to be a good golfer (I did, cause I'm shallow).

Good Luck! Practice, practice!

Some of the advice here is good. Just remember to get someone to show you the proper setup, alignment, and swing plane so you can practice the right swing. Don't be like some of these hacks that go pound a bucket of balls and they practice and ingrain a bad swing.

[Dude]

Sorry Tpark but picturing you trying to get out of the sand trap has me cracking up :lmao

[TheSanityAnnex]

lol

I had some Hogan Apex Blades back in high school when they first came out, shot my lowest round ever with those puppys too, 75.You said you went from a 10 handicap to a 3 handicap. Explain to me then how someone playing with a 3 handicap only shoots 75 once.

[Ginofan]

god, TPark is a dumbass.

I thought I was the only one that caught that.

[TheSanityAnnex]

:lol

[Thunder Dan]

I have a chrome Cleveland 60 degree 588 wedge. You can have it for 20. Its a $95 wedge

[CavsSuperFan]

Warehouse stores like Costco have complete iron sets “NEW” for $100.00...

Sporting good chains like Big-5 have yearly “blow outs” on sets that did not sell...

I have seen good players smack the “Made in China” clubs just as far as the $400.00 Taylor Made Titanium’s....

[TheSanityAnnex]

Still waiting for Tparks response.

[T Park]

You said you went from a 10 handicap to a 3 handicap. Explain to me then how someone playing with a 3 handicap only shoots 75 once

I didn't say I shot it once.

I said, I shot it as soon as I got the clubs.

Reading is fundamental my man.

[T Park]

god, TPark is a dumbass.


:sleep

[T Park]

Still waiting for Tparks response.

pardon me for not waiting around all day to respond to this.

[TheSanityAnnex]

I didn't say I shot it once.

Reading is fundamental my man.You said you shot your best round with them. Remembering what you wrote is fundamental my man. You do realize if 75 is the best score you're claiming, that you'd have to shoot 75, and 75 only, no lower, no higher, in order to claim a 3 handicap. I smell bullshit.

[TheSanityAnnex]

you can smell bullshit all you want.

If you get something, then shoot your lowest round ever up to that point, does that mean, you dont do better than that afterwards, or the same?
I didnt say it was my ALL TIME lowest round, I said I got the clubs and then shot my lowest round i ever had. My lowest ALL TIME round is 71. Did it in 2000 in a small minitour tourny out west here in cali. With the same Hogan Apexs. Too bad a fuckhead stole em. Loved the 6.0 rifles i had in those puppys.


Whatever.

Bat, if you want anything else, just PM me, I've got some scotty cameron SE putters. Also have a couple of Callaway FT3 Fusion drivers that you can have if you want.

PM me when you get a chance.

[TheSanityAnnex]

:lol

BTW, amazing how quick you people like to turn on me, I gave you advice Sanity on the long distance relationship and i said you were a good guy, wich you are, and here you come out and attack the shit out of me for no reason.

No problem. Once again, insulting and saying shit about someone you don't know..

[T Park]

oh please.

Whatever.

I explained what i said if its still smells like "bullshit"

I don't know what to say, and honestly, it doesn't bother me.

[Mixability]

I have no idea what ya'll are talking about, but I love me a "T Park being a dumbass thread". :lol

[to21]

It's obvious TSA likes to play golf. He's probably played some rounds with people who have bragged (not saying you did) about what they have shot and they get on the course and stink it up.

I now I hate that shit. I noticed the same thing too..........no big deal.

[T Park]

I have no idea what ya'll are talking about, but I love me a "T Park being a dumbass thread".

What a sad life you live.

[Mixability]

What a sad life you live.

You're the one who talks out of his ass, gets called out for it, and you back track faster than you do when someone tells you if you saw the brownies at the buffet table.

I just enjoy laughing at your dumbass.

Two San Antonio golfing instructors are among the best in the state

San Antonio Business Journal - 5:00 PM CDT Wednesday, July 18, 2007

http://www.bizjournals.com/sanantonio/stories/2007/07/16/daily28.html?ana=e_du

Briggs Ranch Golf Club's Tom Relf and Michael Vardeman of The Academy at La Cantera are two of the top golf instructors in Texas, according to Golf Digest magazine.

Golf Digest examined the top 75 golf instructor nominees in the state to develop the finalists for the list. From there, golf instructors were asked to rate their peers based on a scale of 1 to 10. The magazine ended up with 23 top PGA-member instructors from Texas.

Relf, director of golf and director of instructor at the Briggs Ranch Golf Club, ranked 12th in Texas, while Vardeman is ranked the 17th top ranked instructor.

"I was obviously excited just to be nominated," Relf says. "If you look at the list, most of the biggest names in coaching are on there. To be mentioned in that group is a real honor. It's invaluble from a teaching standpoint to be named one of the top teachers."

Briggs Ranch is located off U.S. Highway 90 and Texas 211 in Far West San Antonio.

The Academy at La Cantera is located at the Westin La Cantera Resort in Northwest San Antonio.
