When worlds collide
Some things are just meant to be I guess. Our golf cart was acting funny this morning so we stopped at the turn and traded it in for a fresh one. Laying in the cart was something that instantly caught my eye and made me laugh and think of this place at the same time.
I had never seen one before but I simply HAD to use it on the back 9 just for giggles. Two of the other three guys were hunters and the laughs, comments and comparisons were endless.........especially on the tee box where a couple does stood feeding about 30 yards away  Despite the negative feedback I got from the peanut gallery I managed to shoot 38 on the back and finish with a 78............low enough to have the last laugh at the bar as my buddies paid the check. Is there anything bristles can't do??? Immitation is the highest form of flattery..........you just know the guy who invented this shoots a WB. [8D]  |
RE: When worlds collide
Atlas,
Don't you know that those teesare way to loud and will slow down your club? Who in there right mind would use one of those.:D Glad to see you posting again. |
RE: When worlds collide
Whisker Biscuit tees for golf, excellent
 I haven't yet got to get out on the course this summer, darn school!. |
RE: When worlds collide
Haha thats funny

RE: When worlds collide
Must have to be a golfer to understand[&:]:D.

RE: When worlds collide
:eek:[:-]save your money atlas. Yet another golf gadget that is magically going to make the ball go straighter [8D]. Where will it end?
|
RE: When worlds collide
I agree with you Atlas. It works great for guys who are content with shooting 78. (j/k...good round)
It is good to see you back (Did I say that out loud?) |
RE: When worlds collide
hehe I have one of them, found it laying on the course, now if i can figure out where my son put it.......darn kids.

RE: When worlds collide
Good to see you atlas, and awesome post..............hahaha.

ORIGINAL: atlasman Is there anything bristles can't do??? [8D] However Atlas..I will caution you on your latest find! I didn't use these either but have 1st hand knowledge.. {Flashback to last July 06} Me and my partner(an elderly Gentleman of mediocre talent..2 man teams randomly drawn) are playing for the first half, league championship, and he is using this brush tee on all his tee shots. This days temperature is pushing the upper 90's with no breeze. We step up on 18 (we were playing the back 9 that day)all square. My partnerand my opponents partner are bothgetting a shot on this demanding par 4. During my partners backswing.. his ball (and I can still visualize it as if in slow motion) falls off the bristles, which have become like noodles in the days heat, He sees this, and to correct "goes down after the ball", and lays a chunk of turf over the ball like an old man wearing a comb-over. We loose the match 1 down all because of bristles.. Youask "are there anything bristles can't do?" and I say, yes, there is! They cannot hold up to the heat of battle. Bristles are fine for toothbrush but forArrow or Tee ..stay away or you will alsobe cashing second place checks! |
RE: When worlds collide
I found one last year. They work great for cleaning out the grooves on my irons;)

RE: When worlds collide
I used one of those this summer and I hated that thing! All my golf balls were falling off the tee left and right. Needless to say that thing ended up in the trash:D
|
RE: When worlds collide
I combined the two sports the other day too. I noticed my can call was laying in the door of my truck. When I got out at the course I slipped it into my bag. After about 3 holes of my buddy complaining about this shot... that shot etc, when he made an "Ops" I'd turn the can over and give him the bleat. LOL It did settle him down though. LOL

RE: When worlds collide
I'm waiting to find one on a tee box. Otherwise, like the deerview mirror, I'm gonna pass.
|
RE: When worlds collide
I need to see the science behind the brush tee. Personal testimony just won't get it!
:D |
RE: When worlds collide
The carrier has an inverted cone that supposedly for lack of a better word Reactivates the alignment of the brushes. I wonder if that's scientifically possible?
|
RE: When worlds collide
I don't know GR8. I just know people have been winning majors off of wood tees for decades.....and I'm not changing until the science is proven. Do they really expect us to believe that those bristles get back to the proper position ater every shot......that they regenerate?
Until I get scientific proof....it's a waste of money and "Snak oil".:D |

Who is worse in "snake oil" conversations, archery/hunting forums or golf? |
RE: When worlds collide
You can walk around the golf course with a ball teed up on the bristles without worrying about it falling off.
Who is worse in "snake oil" conversations, archery/hunting forums or golf? |
RE: When worlds collide
I agree with NY...but amongst low hcp'ers and dedicated hunters.....I'd give the edge to archery.
I can tell you that the competitive golfers I know don't give a rat's ass what everyone else is using or doing.;) |

RE: When worlds collide
another question:
Who has a better chance of achieving their goal (Shooting Par vs. Shooting a slammer)? Bowhunter. |

RE: When worlds collide
GR8:
The average golfer .....playing strictly by USGA rules....from the members tees.....won't break 100. I can show a guy how to shoot a bow in one afternoon.....send him into the woods....and he's got JUST as good a chance of a slammer walking by him as the next guy. That same guy CAN NOT shoot par. It isn't possible. |
RE: When worlds collide
Look at it this way, Rick.....
I think you can take a guy off the street and have him shooting 290's a LOT quicker than you can have him shooting par on a golf course. As far as skill levels to be "extremely proficient" (because 300-60x is far from 'extremely proficient'....it's perfect......and par is not the highest level a golfer can hope to achieve, either.....far from it)....the archer will become extremely proficient a LOT faster than the golfer. Is shooting a bow "easy"? Let's just say I think a man could buy one on a saturday......and be shooting VERY consistent 10 rings by the next Saturday.....which is a lot faster than that same guy could become proficient enough to play 18 holes at his local CC without pissing the world off behind him. |
RE: When worlds collide
60x is not perfect though, would get you into the shoot off at nationals but there they are counting inside outs there. Perfect (I don't personally know anyone that has done this) is 60x's inside out........i.e. no arrows touching the X line.
I still understand your point though and my question was really a question because I know nothing about golf by choice..........I have too many expensive and time consuming hobbies as it is.....;) |
RE: When worlds collide
Good to see you back Atlas!

RE: When worlds collide
Matt:
I mean no disrespect to archery or archers when I say that. It's an opinion formed from my years as a golf professional....and a somewhat new archer (Five local 3D tournaments). I respect what the elite in both sports can do. |
RE: When worlds collide
WOW do you believe the Bowhunter?? Really?? I don't agree with that at all. Shooting Par is all under ones own control..shooting a Slammer takes Skill, prep, luck, wind, stand placement, and then a qualifying buck who wishes to cooperate. I can shoot par on a regular basis. I think the lines are getting blurred..............you are talking about a single hole and others are talking about a full round. Anyone can fall into a slammer or a hole-in-one............the chance of a blind squirrel finding a nut on 18 straight holes is less then zero..........even an average (or below) hunter can accumulate a house full of monsters given the right location. |
RE: When worlds collide
I agree with the golfers here... Playing scratch golf requires literally thousands of hours on the course, and even then, some people can't even sniff par.
I can teach a guy to shoot a bow in 2 hours, and have him out-shooting guys who have been hunting for 10-20 years. Shooting a bow isn't rocket science, just point-and-click. And if you're lucky enough to be hunting in an area that's thick with 3.5-4.5 year old bucks, you're just as likely to slam one as the "expert" if you put the time in. |
RE: When worlds collide
ORIGINAL: atlasman I can shoot par on a regular basis. I think the lines are getting blurred..............you are talking about a single hole and others are talking about a full round. There is no blurring of the lines. While not as accomplished as some on this board I carry a 2-3 handicap, and given that handicap I'll play anyone better than me on this board! |
