Any golfers here?
 
I love the game although I am not good by no means. I am lucky to play in the low 90's. Just never really worked on it although my putting is excellent.

My clubs are old, most from the 60's/70's. I have Sam Snead irons mostly and modern metal "woods" with all matching grips.

Being in the mid 50's I still hit long drives, my weakness has always been my approach shots. I use a long lanky swing which I feel good with, but other golfers watching it will cringe in seeing it in action and wonder how I get away with it. But haven't played in 15 years due to lack of time I find now players hitting drives much longer than all used to back way back. Is it the clubs now or the balls being better?

Mostly I play on computer as of late, there is a good site that features The Old course at St. Andrews that I love. It is very realistic, more so than most. I will never get to play there for real but I am thankful I can play online at least.

Any way I can download a scorecard from this course? I would like to see a good birds eye view of it. I have checked many sites with no luck.

I am in southeastern Alabama and the green fees here are quite reasonable compared to most elsewhere and the courses are very good, so other than a quick trip to the Florida pandhandle to play once in a while this is my option.

Best round so far, 78, but it was pure luck.

Would appreciate a copy of the St. Andrews Course scorecard if possible.

Found a few others but it is mostly copywrighted material.

But just google or whatever "St. Andrews score card"

My dad was an avid golfer, scoring consistently in the low-mid 70s and winning United Airlines' company tournament on two separate occasions.

Me, I like walking, but not that slowly. And I'm the world's worst, so...

Thanks Steam.

Here is the link for the online game that features St. Andrews among others.

It is free, best to enter a user name. A pretty good game as far as being on a computer at least.

Did you know the first time he played golf, Kim Jong Il got holes-in-one on EVERY SINGLE HOLE??? (I'm still scratching my head as to why they didn't include him on NK's World Cup team, as I'm sure they would have steamrolled to the final if they had!!)

This is from North Korean news outlets, so it must be true!!!
