Alcap26 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 I have edited my original post so make sure you go back and read it...reviewed the Tour Trailer experience. The Florida-tini has the following ingredients...Stoli Ohranj Vodka, Mandarin orange, and a splash of sprite and sour mix...( I think some Mandarin Juice in it also). I like screwdrivers so I thought I would try this and it was great. Not a screw driver but along the same line. The sprite and sour mix really give it a good flavor. I will be attempting to make some of these thisweekend. Could be a long and great taste testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Have re-read your post Al . Irons were too long , what made you think that in the first place ?? No need to reply tonight though . When I'm in Vegas I want to go to the Cally one , am just hoping I can find the time to do it . If Joe has one great but would like a print out of how/ what my numbers are .

chainsaw Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 When I'm in Vegas I want to go to the Cally one , am just hoping I can find the time to do it . Haven't personally done it but I went with my girlfriend when she got her new irons and it was great. The par 3 course there is actually pretty nice. I really want to hop on a launch monitor just to see what the numbers look like. I think it was $25 bucks at Callaway it went towards the purchase of clubs.

Alcap26 Posted March 3, 2004 Report Share Posted March 3, 2004 Orange Crush Stoli Ohranj, Triple Sec, sweet and sour, orange juice and a splash of Sprite. I think this is basically the same drink. I would love to have the recipie. I am looking but alas no luck yet. Guess I will just have to resort to trial and error. WOO HOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup have just read a review on it . $25 for the irons and $25 for the woods . Won't be making a purchase and will tell them that right at the start . I just want the numbers for future referance .

You are right... I usually am struggling to make it to the range once a week and never have time to use the putting rug. I definitly felt the results of this negligence this past weekend... my putter felt so foreign in my hands. But oddly the less I swing the better my ball striking gets... I think I tinker too much.

Not sure what is involved in ultimate frisbee - but I am sure it helps your game - hand eye coordination. They say darts is also a good past time.

Mike Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Yup you sure can . :) Good thing I'm single . Otherwise I would be in a hurry :lol: Me off the West Coast on Vancouver Island . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcap26 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Just thought I would let you guys know that I typed out my course reviews. Mike, I am also going to shorten my clubs because I am still hitting on the heel side of the sweetspot...lets just put it this way if I was any closer to the hosel I would be hitting el hosel rockets. I am going to go to a half inch long instead of a full inch. Still am undecided on the three wood....have no confidence in either the vsteel or rescue so a decision to come....I wish I could find someone to flatten the rescue because I feel it is too upright but no one will do it. The baby bee is gone soon...will more than likely sell here or ebay if I do decide to part ways...never can tell...I may keep it like all the other putters I no longer use. I am going to contact my pro and some lessons are coming. Lost a lot of confidence at the beach but I think it was due to lack of concentration. The weather was beautiful though and the courses were fantastic...cannot go wrong with them. If you do go make sure you go to Alligator Adventures and see the 20 foot long croc named Utan.

Mike Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Your clubs are 1" over length :!: :!: Wholly cow and here I thought I had alligator arm's :lol: Or are you really tall . I'm 6'2" and I play mine at +1/2" and 2* flat . Seems weird don't it . Over length but flat lie's . But my swing is starting to return and I'm so happy I could kiss Err no I better not say that :lol: You guy's might get the wrong impression . I do have the same problem as you with my wood's , they are not flat enough so all I do is let my arms hang natural and let the toe come up , It works thats all I can say . Bending a wood or rescue is a risky propostion so you know why nobody will do it for you . Glad to see you had a good time and if I ever make down that way wil be sure to play those course's . But it's going to take either a stick of dynamite or a forced move to get me off this Island and year round golf in Canada :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcap26 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 I am also 6'2 but my swing has changed over time and I feel my clubs need to go to down a half of an inch and need to be a degree flatter with the swing change and posture change. Damn this has taken too long...I have been working on this nearly a year and sometimes I see improvement and then I have a down month. Oh well...I do see some lessons in the coming weeks.,...something just feels off and I can't figure it out and my wife who knows my swing enough can usually spot problems can't see it either.

Mike Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 Yup then lessons might be needed . Pick a good teacher , one who doesn't want to change your whole swing and then stick with him . Sometimes I wish I had a guy here I could go to , as the one guy who really knows my swing is no longer with us :( I miss the old guy real bad sometimes. Lived in FLA , next door to my parents when they had a house there . Now those were some great golf trips . :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that the pros even change - when Ernie Els switched to Titleist he went a 1/2 inch shorter for greater control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillypete Posted March 4, 2004 Report Share Posted March 4, 2004 man I really need to get fitted but I just don't have the time or the money... life is so jam packed right now... I need a few more hours in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
