What a way for my season to end!!

sbmarto05 — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 01:00:00 +0100

It seems as though my golf season is at an end! At least on my home track. That really sucks because we have at least a month to go. The problem is Highway construction. They are working on making the highway that leads to the town where my home track is wider (4 lane). They have discovered a large Fissure (Crack) in the mountain above the road. The department of highways has deemed the road to dangerous to travel. There is an alternate route but it adds about 41/2 hours to a round trip [...]

Summerland Men's Amateur Invitational Update!

sbmarto05 — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Well the tournament didn’t go exactly the way I had hoped. The first day wasn’t too bad, I shot 82. This was only 2 stroked over my cap. The problem was one of the guys in my group. He was a complete dick. I have never played with such a hot head. Needless to say he was more than a little distracting. He was playing so badly at one point that he just started screwing around. He used a driver on a 162 yard par 3. He said “I was going to try and skip the ba [...]

Summerland Men's Amateur Invitational

sbmarto05 — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

Well it all gets started today with a shot gun start at 1:00pt. Today's event is a team par points thing. Its all based on handicaps and you get points accordingly. I don't really understand it but my playing partners do, good enough. Last year we finished just out of the money by 1 point!:-( The "pro" we had in our group put his ball OB on #18 and didn't tee up another for some reason, if he had maybe things would have been different. But that was a year ago and its a whol [...]

What Iron's do you Use?

sbmarto05 — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I'm just curious, what are the most popular iron's being used here by the members of TGS.

Myself I like Ping. I've been using the ping i3 blades for several years now. My iron game improved dramatically shortly after I made the switch. I'm considering the new i10 from ping. My reason for choosing clubs from ping golf was they are the pioneers of custom fitting.

New 2008 Adidas Tour 360

sbmarto05 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I just recently purchased another pair of golf shoes. I'm kind of a collector when it comes to golf shoes. These were a pair of Adidas golf shoes the new men's Tour 360. They have got to be the most comfortable pair I have. When I first put them on they were a little snug in the toe. I have a wide foot so I was a little worried about that. But after only a few holes they loosened up and felt great. I wore them again yesterday and they are really great. It was raining after the 12th hole [...]

Had a good one going

sbmarto05 — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 01:00:00 +0100

We played this afternoon, it was a beautiful summer day hear in the Okanagan Valley. I had a great front nine, 2 over 37. The back was a different story 43. The only bright spot on the back was a couple of birds. We have the British Columbia Senior Men's Amateur going on here the next 3 days. Apparently they were trying to either scare the hell out of them or save the greens for them. The pin placements today were in the most ridiculous spots you could imagine. I don't remember even seei [...]

The Number 1 Ball in Golf

sbmarto05 — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 01:00:00 +0100

I was just looking at the final scores for this past weekends RBC Canadian Open. I knew that Titleist was the most used ball on tour but I couldn't believe these numbers.

Of the 157 players that started the Tourny, 96 used Titleist, 61 used another brand.

Of the 71 that made the cut 48 used Titleist and 23 used another brand! What did the winner Chez Reavie use Titleist of course!! Titleist undoubtably the number 1 ball in golf.
