I have a really strong grip so i tend to play a nice draw, but lately its been really difficult to play for a fade. Oh well, its just something i need to work with on the driving range.
how long you been playing? what kind of clubs? and have you taken any lessons?

Lol, yea i can control the ball. Not as much as i used to in high school, but i can still do every shot someone tells me to do. Delta View is still one of my favorite golf courses. Its one of those courses that makes you think before you hit the ball. Its really short, but that course can kick your *** if you arent hitting the ball good.

Monarch bay is a piece of crap course, not to mention a 5+ hour round.
I have a good instructor, she took 10 stokes off my game in a year, however she is in Pleasant Hill.

I used to take lessons back in high school but havent really touched clubs in a while. What set would you recommend for beginners? are there brands to stay away from or places to stay away from? i really should live up to my name(Vijay Singh) hahah.

I play with super crappy clubs and no drivers. I'd really love to get a better set and a decent driver.
When I play with my brothers clubs... same as mine but with better shafts... my scores drop usually around 6 or 8 strokes. So I'd imagine with better clubs and a driver I could shoot pretty consistently in the low 80's. But I'm usually happy anytime I hit in the 80's. I am a low 90's guy usually.
I might try and play an early morning weekday round pretty soon out here in watsonville if anyone is interesting.

83 at the ranch is brutal?... I just got 83 at Cinnabar last Sat, and was stoked =D
You read my mind though, doesn't look like the tourney is happening, but it looks like there's enough peeps to come out and play once a month.
I might be interested in your driver, can I check it out at the range some time? Going today around 6. I have a black/white Taylor Made bag with a Gopher as my Driver's club sock.
