Mike Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Up here it is 84.9 cents a liter . So when you do the conversion to a US gallon which is 3.8 liters that is almost 2.50 a gallon and for a Imperial gallon which is 4.56 liters thats like 3.35 US a gallon. 8O Man, I'd be rockin' a Geo Metro or depending on the city size a scooter. The whole gas shortage thing is a big conspiracy anyway. There is no shortage . We up here produce more than enough for our own use , it's just that we ship most of it south of the border :) Plus of that 84.9 cents at least 50 cents is tax . We are one of the highest taxed people on the face of the earth in Canada and it doesn't look like it's going to get any better in the future either . :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ain't cool at all :!: It's always tough to see hard earned money go right back to Big Brother. Hopefully, though you guys have some decent state sponsored programs going. Enough about politics. Looks like I'm headed back to snow land this weekend. At least it'll be warmer this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillypete Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 screw you guys my weather is perfect... am I just weird or does anyone else enjoy golf more when thier is wind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainsaw Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 am I just weird or does anyone else enjoy golf more when thier is wind? How much wind are we talking about?? When it's really hot it's kinda nice. Plus, I love hitting little knockdown puches which aren't really called for when it's not windy. 10-15 not bad anything over 15 you're crazy. Growing up in Texas will cause you to love the days it's not windy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcap26 Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I honestly play better when there is a little wind 10-15mph max or a little drizzle.I seem to concentrate more than I do when it is beautiful outside. I just find it harder to keep my concentration when it is beautiful outside. This does not happen every time I play when it is beautiful but occasionally I will be out there and don't play worth a s**t and my mind is everywhere but the golf course.

Mike Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Al you aren't the only one that happens to . My course is right at a air field do you know it is going to be windy 95% of the time . Sat they said we had winds in the 40 knot region . It's not to much fun playing in that . I either play lights out or like on Sat play like a bum :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcap26 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Damnit...I need to step away from the keyboard for my own saftey. I am going to shorten them tomorrow. Just a question since I have not done this b/4...all I need to do is measure them and put a mark on the shaft a half inch down and cut. I am using a new metal blade on a compound mitre saw so I shouldn't have any problems right? Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using a new metal blade on a compound mitre saw so I shouldn't have any problems right? Thanks for the help Copper pipe cutter works also - keep in mind that the swing weight will come down. Saw should work - if it is your first time you may want to practice on a piece of scrap shaft or copper pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcap26 Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Thanks AK...looks like I may have to get some lead tape out. I am going to practice on some old beater irons first. How much swingweight change would I be looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKFLY Posted March 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Thanks AK...looks like I may have to get some lead tape out. I am going to practice on some old beater irons first. If you have a swing weight scale or if you can borrow one that would be great - you will loose like one swing point - so if you do not have a scale - do not go throwing on a ton of lead tape - also you can cut the shaft, then bring them to your local guru and tell him you want them swingweighted to a D4 or whatever - and he should be able to do the works for a small fee using lead powder and corks down the shaft. Lastly - keep in mind you are also changing the flex of the shaft - slightly - you can read novels on this crap = but essentially - weaker for Rifle and stiffer for Dynamic Gold. Have fun with it - you could always re-shaft with PX's :D I am off to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
