General BS Thread

This is the first time have lost it on the course like this in a long time. Then to beat all I get home and the damn vcr is cut off and I did not get the last 5 cars of qualifying for the f1 race....I almost yanked it out of the entertainment canter and threw it out the damn window. Having a little rage control problem today. I am still steaming 2 hours later. I wonder if CCC can fix it? Will it mess with the weight if I get it refinished? But I did think of you guys and added who I thought was the best pin up gril ever to Petes pin up thread. Enjoy.

Al from what I have read and been told a refinish job will not affect the weight of a club one little bit .

I also drool over the OC and will be proud to admit it. I am coming down from my burning earlier and the chips aren't that bad...not a full fledge idiot mark but it still sucks. Pete I can relate with your buddy. Back when I first started taking up the game I was playing the local goat ranch and I hooked one on #9 and hit one in the Miller beer truck. The guy had left the doors up while he delivered the suds. About a week later my step brother hooked one in the parking lot and busted the windsheild on what looked to be someones new jeep. Luckily the guy was not in the Jeep.

Mike I thought that too then I remember a guy saying something about foam in the head and the powder coat process. Does TM weight with foam? I will need to find that out. I have talked to the guys at CCC before and they are stand up guys that I am sure will let me know.

The girl in the pic I posted in the pinup is Jakki Degg...what I consider the finest Page3 girl ever.

I don't know if they foam all their heads or not . I do know that mine are and the only reason I know for sure is Joe told me he himself foamed them to bring the weight up .

He also told me when I do get mine refinished to let them know this and they can still do the job , so I would think that if you let them know that you think yours are foamed then they will take the extra care with them .

[+TourSpecGolfer]

CCC just recently finished my 2 MR23 heads and they are both foamed. i let them know to be extra careful and that they are foamed and they catered to me no problem and finished it very quick. Should be here this week i will post a few pics.

[Alcap26]

Thanks for the reply Chris and Mike. I talked to CCC about refinishing a Scotty Newport SS2.5 once and the gentleman I talked to was nothing but informative and asked me a ton of questions about what I was looking for and let me ask a ton of questions...great guys to talk to.

This morning my tee time with my father was scheduled for 8:00 am. I get to the course 30 minutes b/4 to warm up as usual. 7:51 my father shows up...mind you he says he is early...and proceeds to go into the shop to check in and get some range balls to warm up. This is ridiculos...by the time he gets out there it is 5 till 8. So we get bumped back two spots since the course is running ahead of schedule. Well the first hole takes the group in front of us 20 minutes to play. I am still fuming and my father will not let it go saying he is sorry for showing up early and wanting to hit some since he hasn't hit in a while.ARRGGHHH! The more he brings it up the hotter I am getting. needless to say the front nine was a blast. We get to the back and I am a couple over and on 18 he hits andother s**tty drive and then turns around and says let me hit your driver. I try to ignore this and walk back but he says it again. Well here I am in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. If I say no then I hear on the last hole how it was just a golf club and so on. Well I let him hit it and he pops it up chipping the paint at the top of the face. He then says well if I damaged it order another and I will buy it. I explain to him again that this is a tour issue driver and can't be reordered. Then he says he will buy it and I told him it was 400 dollars to replace it and he pitches a fit. I will from this day forth never mnake another tee time and give him the correct time. I will give him a time 15 minutes ahead of where we really are. I am so pissed about the driver. This thing was in perfect shape and now I will probably have to get rid of it because these things irk me! DAMNIT!

Unbelievable....At leasst you didn't get guilt tripped with the "I brought you into this world the least you can do is let a 400 dollar driver slide" :x

Tell him hope he enjoyed his father's day present. I just can't believe that the course was ahead of schedule. That's unheard of out here.

Mike- putter in hand and perfect :D

Thanks Bro . Am glad that it arrived safely . :D

I agree about the golf - cigar thread . But as far as I know we are the only two to have had any Cubans lately :lol: So I would think that would disqualify everybody else from making a post down here :lol: :lol: :wink:

tisk tisk... I had a Cohiba last weekend while I was visiting my friend in syracuse, granted it came through Canada so the freshness was lacking but it was a cuban none the less.

Al... have you seen pics of thier work on putters? there was that one guy who tried to send them to me but the email was blank... what ever happened to him?

[Alcap26]

They should still be in my image gallery...I had to take one out but I can put them here.

Their work looks top notch and like I said b/4 great guys to talk to.

Tsk , Tsk us pete 8O I could have thought and I sort of remember a post you made about how you detested smoking . And now here you are having a Cohiba :?:

What is the world coming to :wink: :lol:

And if it came through Canada pete , that is about as fresh as you will ever get one :lol: :lol:

The comment was that I get sick everytime I smoke a cigar but I always get talked into smoking one. So I really can't be the judge of any quality cause I only remember whether I got light headed or I full out puked.

Damn you peer pressure!!!

The Cohiba didn't make me sick, just woozy... but I only smoked half of it. If I would have smoked it all I would have been looking at lunch in the bottom of the bowl.

you cigar experts ever come across this? Maybe its cause I am usually pretty liquired up when the cigars come out... or maybe its just a low tolerance to nicotien... but I smoke cigarettes like a fiend so I don't get it.

I really wish I could get into cigars. It seems similar to golf in that its an activity that can also open up a lot of doors.

[phillypete]

The CCC work looks really really good!

I really wish I had a ton of money so I could by a few sante fe's to screw around with.

I know you're probably not but just to make sure, you're not inhaling are you? I smoke probably one a week which is nothing and it doesn't do anything like that to me. Oh, and make sure that it's tobacco in there and not a green leafy substance known to impair judgement :lol:

You have a habit of inhaling 8O :D

[phillypete]

yeah thats probably it... oh well I'll have to work on that.

The green leafy substance I can handle.

[Mike]

Nothing wrong with inhaling cigars at all . Where a lot of people who don't smoke a lot of them make there mistake is , they try to smoke one like a cigarette . Now that is a big no no .

If I am smoking one out on the course it will last between 5 - 7 holes . If I have one at home it will last over a hour , goes out a couple of times and I just re-light the sucker .

I inhale them also . Just got to remember that a cigar is at the very least a 1 hour smoke and not a 5 minute smoke like a cigarette .

No more wozzies and no trip to talk Ralphy on the great white phone :lol:

If you take your time when smoking one :!:

Mike-going to write a review on the bag ?

[Alcap26]

Which bag do you have? The one from the pics from the Japan golf fair?

At first I was who the hell is this guy withe funky avatar.

Oh ....its Al

[Mike]

Very nice bag . Light and with a lot of pockets to carry all the extra junk around that I need .

But also , not quite what I expected . While it does have a dual carry strap they are both single straps , and that make's it kind a awkward at first .

Was fighting to find the strap that goes on the left shoulder all the time .

Now that I have gotten use to it , not a problem anymore .

The club wells are designed different then any other carry bag I have ever seen .

While it does have one for the outter I don't use it for it and I stick my driver in that spot . If you carry 3 - PW only the wells work quite well . I used the wells in a 2-3-2-3 iron carrying order for lack of a better word .

I have for the past week or so as I never had a 4/5 wood before and wanted to get use to it .

For pic's of this bag , till I can get my fat lazy ass in gear and take some and post them in the image gallary , go to Lightriders post in the tour/import section and click on the bridgstone web site . Then on the left you will see catalog go there and then tourstage , scroll down till you see the CBTS44 bag .

Sorry to throw you there for a minute AK...just needed a change and my wife says this one suits me very well. I will bring Mutley back in a little while or maybe Gene.

Anybody have any luck with Ms. Righetti? The other one I like is Nikki Cox on Las Vegas. Her neckline keeps plunging every week. 8O

[Alcap26]

not much luck other than the press photos. Haven't seen Las Vegas...might have to check it out.

It's a decent show, you just have to discount the fact that it's very unreal even in a place like Vegas. Every week somebody turns 40 bucks into a million all at the same hotel.....I don't think so. The females are waaaay hot. I thought it was going to be greatness but it so far has been fair to middlin.
