Goon Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Have any of you three broken off the head of your driver on the actual swing...only to have the head of the club go farther than the ball? Done that. The only thing I HAVEN'T done on the golf course yet is hit another player. I've gotten close and that poor guy was on the #6 fairway and I was on #5 tee! Yep, and that was after I had beaten it on the ground the hole before, It was a killer whale driver. Now I am very carefull with my clubs. Quote
Goon Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 I laughed my ass off! The person I was golfing with was momentarily shocked. The case of my Nike driver is an odd one because I didn't buy it from a golf retailer. For some reason Sam's Club had Nike drivers and I bought one. For all I know it wasn't a "real" Nike driver. It just had the swoosh on it and said "Nike" on the grip. Actually Sames Club does get deals on Golf Equipment, I have looked at some of their Drivers and they aren't bad at all. Speaking of Nikes. The new driver's head is shapped like a square. I don't know I can't imagine swinging that thing. I heard they knock the crap out of the ball though. Quote
Goon Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Name-brand golf clubs are almost always warrantied...usually for 5 years. Those warranties cover shaft breaks at both the hosel (where the head meets the shaft) and under the grip. So if you break a nice driver you'll get it fixed for free, or just get a brand new one. Not to mention that name-brand clubs are definitely well worth your money if you golf even more than just a little. If you go get custom-fit (which is free) you can significantly improve your game. I know the Golf Center in the mall in Grand Forks can really help you out...you may even see a hockey player (past or present) there pretty commonly. I think your right. I got a great deal on the Killer Whale that I broke, they gave he a big credit and that is how I ended up with my first big bertha driver. They are awesome for club re-gripping. Quote

It's really big and not very good looking for a club. However, it does move the ball quite well (when I hit it and as long as I don't care where it's going to land). Quote

Oh I can move the ball around, into the woods (Xcheck), into the ponds (Xcheck) out of bounds (Xcheck) Quote
redwing77 Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Oh I can move the ball around, into the woods (Xcheck), into the ponds (Xcheck) out of bounds (Xcheck) Please! You're just describing my first three holes! Quote
Diggler Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 I won my first tournament in Tiger Woods 07 tonight shooting -34. I'm better than you all. Quote
Big A HG Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 The square headed drivers aren't meant to be any longer than the rest of drivers out there, but they are meant to go straighter. I can explain...if necessary. So that may help with some of your problems goon, hehe. Quote

siouxnami Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Oh yeah? Well I lead the Chicago Cubs to 3 straight World Series titles on MLB 2K4 Oh yeah? I helped Mike Commodore broke Wayne Gretzky's scoring record... Quote
redwing77 Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Oh yeah? I helped Mike Commodore broke Wayne Gretzky's scoring record... I call this a tie. There's no realistic way either one could happen! Quote
Diggler Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 I call this a tie. There's no realistic way either one could happen! Especially since we're talking about golf here. I'm not sure what baseball and hockey have to do with it. I win. You lose. Quote
sprig Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 I realize it's the wrong season but I'd rather argue dux Quote
