    Lightbulb The Golf Shot Thread

    Hey guys,

    I love golf and everything golf, so i decided to start this thread for it, post any scorecards ( in RL or in game :P ) videos, pics hell w/e.

    Ill be updating it regularly and will post a pic of my clubs ( all of them ) at some point.

    Lets start this off though with something from Rory, which i found amazing and hilarious!

    Havent got any scorecards or anything but my most memorable shot was chipping the ball straight into the hole even though all I could see was the top of the flag cause of the hill .

    I remember walking around there trying to find where my ball went then checked in the hole and was surprised it was there.

    I have a Callaway Diablo Driver, a custom made 21* iron for my 3 wood shots and a set of Callaway X16 Irons.

    I started off with the Dunlop DDH set myself, perfect set for when your just starting out, i however like the irons more than rescue clubs though, which is why i bought the callaways.

    I have shot some better golf days with the Dunlop's than i have with the callaways, so clubs never fool or intimidate me when i see them

    Where about are you, we should have a round together!

    Months since my last round and this thread ain't helping my desire to get back out there sooner rather than later

    In my bag I have a set of 4 Cobra woods. Driver, 3 , 5 and 7. The driver is a 9.5 degree loft. Ping irons, steel shaft, quite old and missing the 4 iron. I seldom play with the 3 iron anymore.

    My putter is a simple blade and I have had it since day 1. My sister found it somewhere and got it second hand. It has no special markings for aiming, weighting it or the like, it's all about feel and rhythm. It still works brilliantly for me and I have no intention of replacing it. Maybe just a new grip.

    I also have a left hand 5-iron in bag too. It's come in useful on a number of occasions. Best hit with it was +/-170 - 180 metres. That was an awesome moment for me.

    Victoria was my home club. Brings back good memories.

    Hayfields or MGC, is it still a goat track or have they improved the fairways? It's probably the course I played most when I was in PMB.

    Others in the surrounds, which I enjoyed playing:

    - Sakabula
    - Kloof
    - Cotswold Downs,
    - Richmond
    - Mooi River

    And further a field from Maritzburg, I like:

    - the Wild Coast
    - Southbroom (special because I played my best round ever there)
    - Princes Grant
    - Umdoni

    When we played on the Hayfields the fairways were very well maintained and nice, but not sure how it is now

    Would love to try Champagne Sport's Resort in the central berg.
