If you will drive over 1hr 40 min (2hr my max) Blue Ridge Trail in Mountain Top is a real nice track.

Threw my driver on the tee box and snapped the shaft today...I felt really stupid and I apologized to my playing partners instantly. I was with a scratch 55 y/o psychologist so I thought I would turn to him for advice. Surprisingly, he told me that it was all good...saying that he had never seen a good player that didn't get angry. ''The intensity that you show when you miss a shot is also what makes you the player that you are''.

I guess he's right but it's really time that I tone it down a notch. I usually snap once a round without warning...sometimes the shot is not even that bad.

Define "throw your driver."

Just curious how much force you'd have to throw a club to break it.

Because I'm a high cap I have this mentality that I play worse when I catch up to or get caught up to by strangers. Because I worry about playing well enough around them.

But I'm pretty sure the data would show the complete opposite. I'm almost certain I play better with strangers. I always feel like I get more competitive around other people and just try to match what they do. And my demeanor is more calm and relaxed.

When I play as a single I verbally assault myself after bad shots and just sulk like a big baby. I guess I need to start trying to play with others. Tough to have this mindset seeing as I'm a pretty strong loner/severe introvert.

I broke my Nike Sasquatch driver last year by tossing it up in the air about 20 feet. When it landed, the head snapped off. Got a good laugh.

No. But they are fairly cheap and are beneficial. Some people don't like playing in them. So they are definitely not essential. But I would buy one.

I usually buy the cheapest Wilson glove from wal-mart. I haven't found the slightly more expensive ones to be any more durable.

Foot joy rain gloves best investment ever. I wear them whenever it's humid out or raining, regardless if I am golfing or not.

lol'd. I once paid a kid in high school physics class $5 to wear his snow mittens the entire period, just because I could. He did, and I paid him.

I wear a glove because my left hand (I play right-handed) blisters terribly from gripping/swinging the club. the other benefits of a glove is a slightly better grip on the club.

anything in the $10-$20 range (regular price) should suffice for a glove that will last for a bit of time.
