1st annual Cockytalk golf tourney

[cockfan06]

Just an idea guys, just wondering who would be interested in playing in a captains choice tourney( only Cockytalk members) We could post your handicap on here and plit into 3 to 4 man fair teams or a bring your own team. Just wanting to get some responses to see who would be interested... thanks,

[happygilmore527]

this sounds like a pretty cool idea to me. I don't play golf a whole lot so I really don't have a handicap, if anything I would say mine would be in the 20's.

As far as money, it could potentially go to the site perhaps so CH, Khosk and others can upgrade even more or it could go to charity of some kind or even funds toward the facilities upgrade.

[GamecockSkip]

I'd be up for it. Happy, if your handicap is in the 20's you must play more than a little golf. The average golfer scores in the low 100's, generally around a 30 handicap.

[Spur's Addiction]

I don't play Golf but I can drink beer and drive the golf cart.

DIBS!!!!

:thumbsup:

I don't even understand the concepts of golf...except...hit the ball less thatn your buddy and put it int the hole.

I'll be out there barbequin....:rotfl:

[Gamecock History]

I would love to play, but I am not very good. No idea what my handicap is, but I usually shoot between 110 - 120.

[SNEEZ]

I've never played a round of golf in my life.

I've putt-putted once or twice but thats it. Not enough patience to look for the ball.

[cockfan06]

if we decide to do it... maybe we can use average score to group people if we dont bring our own teams....

like,

79 and under (A player)
89 to 80 ( B player)
90 to 99 ( C player)
100 and above( D player)

just a thought...

[B Blackwell]

I LOVE THE IDEA. MY HANDICAP IS A 9 RIGHT NOW, BUT I THINK IT WOULD BE A BETTER IDEA TO OPEN THE TOURNEY TO MORE THAN COCKYTALK MEMBERS. LIKE MAYBE SAY THAT THE CAPTAIN OR SOMEONE ON YOUR TEAM IS A MEMBER, B/C OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT NOT GET AS GOOD A SHOWOUT FOR IT. JUST AN IDEA BUT I LIKE IT

[ShutTheSuccop]

Depending on when and where I would be interested...I am about a 3-4 handicap...depending on the weather, I could recommend some places for you guys heading to Memphis for the Liberty Bowl as well!

I'm with ya on bringing your own teams, just wanted to give the choice to "The People" lol

[USCya]

Cinderella story.... Sounds like a fun time

[midnight]

Sign me up

3 handicap. :golf:





:shotgunc: :football: :shotgunc: :football:

[Spurticus]

I would love it.
I'm a hacker. On a good day I'd be a C player (95-100) but I'm usually right around the Century mark. Since I haven't had the pleasure of playing with any of you guys yet, I'd say just find out how many we'd have playing for sure, let everyone post thier average score, and someone divide up the teams. . . . . . .Let's do it !

[happygilmore527]

Well I don't play a lot at all. I think I'm pretty decent but I just play a few times a year. I have shot in the 80's before but that was with loose rules like moving the ball out of bad lies and if I find my ball at the edge of the woods moving it out and stuff.

Right now I would probably be around 100. I haven't played since May. I've only played 3 or 4 times this year probably. I played a decent bit last summer and something seemed to click. Oh well...It does sound like a good idea.

[The Dude]

happy is a golf-shark...

hes gonna take all of y'all's money...haha

[happygilmore527]

happy is a golf-shark...

hes gonna take all of y'all's money...haha


haha...very funny...no golf shark here. I promise. I haven't played since my birthday and that was May. It's too expensive to play all the time.

But if anyone wants to give me money anyways, I'll take it. I could use some golf balls I'm sure.

[The Dude]

i think the expensive nature of golf is the only reason why i never successfully got into it...
my best bud from sumter lives, breathes, eats, and sleeps golf...so i guess i just live my golf life vicariously through him haha

i guess my real reason for posting in this thread is, i'd LOVE to do something like this, but unfortunately i've never been the golfing type...
d'oh

[SNEEZ]

Thats like....i dunno...Wanting to open a bar being a non-drinker.

LoL

I've never played, and I THINK I have a putter at the house. I'd love to, but I have no clubs, so I'd be like Sponge. Driver.

[Teamoney]

i'd play assigned teams. a,b,c,d format

[happygilmore527]

I've got an extra set of crappy clubs if something really wanted to play...it might be missing a 3 wood, long story.

[The Dude]

Thats like....i dunno...Wanting to open a bar being a non-drinker.


Oh contrare, mon frere...

I think the game of golf is one of the best on earth...a true gentleman's sport

its kinda corny me referencing it, but if you've ever seen (or read) The Legend of Bagger Vance...thats how golf is to a lot of people.

I truly admire it.
its just too bad its so daggum expensive!

[The Dude]

it might be missing a 3 wood, long story.

That sounds like a pretty interesting story! hahaha

My fellow Evans brother...You are from AUGUSTA!!!!! You have to represent bro! I dont see how you havent learned anything over the years!
Nothing but love for ya...but geeeeeez get to Jones Creek or West Lake!

[theuscerock]

And I'm down for it...part of the money could go to the George Rogers Foundation

[USCya]

And I'm down for it...part of the money could go to the George Rogers Foundation

Now that is an idea... I bet George would come out to hit them around as well. He loves to play and hits them pretty darn well. He is all about his Foundation.

:thumbsup:

[TaterHater1984]

:thumbsup:I've played with him up here at my home course. He is a great golfer. Super nice guy.

[TStone]

I'm a D player for sure and have only been playing for about a year, but I think this would be a blast.

[Gyle41386]

I'd love to play. :thumbsup:

I'll claim a C, by the standards posted earlier. Normally a B, but I don't play that much while I'm up here at school.

[USC67]

I would love to play. Maybe someone could work it out to play the University Club. I have played in other tournaments out there where only one person was a member. (I have about a 12-14 handicap)

[cocksfan76]

did you know the origin of the word GOLF is Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden?

I like to think it means....Greens Only Look Friendly.

[Beebop]

I'm in.....I'll play either way. I have a team I can bring or I'll play assigned. Doesn't matter to me. My guys will still want to play as well.

[USCya]

Now this is the real origin of golf as told by the one and only Robin Williams....

[TaterHater1984]

I play for Byrnes. A 12 handicapper. I'm definately in.

LIKE MAYBE SAY THAT THE CAPTAIN OR SOMEONE ON YOUR TEAM IS A MEMBER, B/C OTHERWISE YOU MIGHT NOT GET AS GOOD A SHOWOUT FOR IT. JUST AN IDEA BUT I LIKE IT I AGREE WITH YOU JUST AS LONG AS A TEAM HAS 1 COCKYTALK MEMBER.I HAVE LOTS OF FREINDS THAT PLAY HERE AT HOME CAROLINA SPRINGS THAT WOULD LOVE TO PLAY.GR8 IDEA:thumbsup:

[Cuck Flemson]

I'm in! I shoot in the 90's. Maybe we should check out a golf course near Columbia. (Since thats in the middle of the state) Even check out hotels near the course for some that may want to come in early and stay the weekend. Also I suggest maybe getting something up in the Spring. Playing golf in the cold is out for me.

Who is heading up this golf retreat?

[talon]

I'm a 2 handicap. The university club would be very hard to get onto because of the new ownership.

[Cuck Flemson]

Lets get this train ROllin! Who is going to oversee this?

[Garnet Spur]

I would Love it if I can work it in I'm normaly around a 95 - 100

[Teamoney]

i shoot around 100. i would say i am a c or d.

[Gyle41386]

The Indian River Golf Club is where the intramural Election Day scramble was held. Nice course...in West Columbia, past the airport.

[Singaporecock]

I may have missed the date...when are you thinking of holding this?

[PyroPepper]

I would love to play. Any more news about it?

[Slacker USC]

I'm interested as well. I think a benefit for the George Rogers Foundation is a great idea, but I'm also equally in favor of doing something to help out Hoskins with the site.

[Beebop]

Indian River is a great course! I say we see how much money we can raise for this and then decide what to do with the proceeds from there. We may be able to get a discount at one of the area courses with the premise that it's a fund raiser for the George Rogers foundation. Hidden Valley might would be another option....it's not nearly as nice as Indian River, but it may bode well for being able to net more profit to donate.

[COCKSHAFT]

I am game for it . . just give me about a month heads up to get it in the schedule.

[jayceecock]

My son and I would love to join. I'm a 9 hdcp, he shoots in mid 90's.

[LollerCock]

Cack, CH, any of you higher-ups still thinking about this?
I don't have an established handicap, but I usually shoot somewhere between 77-83.
It would be a fun thing to do once it starts warming up.

[ShutTheSuccop]

have there been anymore thought to date and location of proposed tourney?

[Scattergun]

id be up for it....

[millinghd]

i'm down

[4littlecocks]

I would love to play and can bring a few more with me.

[COCKSHAFT]

I am still good for it as well

[Spurticus]

The Indian River Golf Club is where the intramural Election Day scramble was held. Nice course...in West Columbia, past the airport.

Indian River is a nice course. I don't live too far from there. I've played it once (not too well either), but still liked the course.

Anyone in this area might like Charwood too. Have played there a lot.

My vote though would be to play it somewhere between Upstate and Midlands. (Central Carolina - Stoney Point - Etc . . ) IMO

[uscfan8221]

I'm interested in this as well. Usually shoot in the upper 70's.

[theuscerock]

what about the friday before the Spring Game or in the fall the Friday before the first game?

[jayceecock]

what about the friday before the Spring Game or in the fall the Friday before the first game?

That's what I was thinking.

Friday before Spring Game would be great. This would also be ideal for posters that live out of state.

[ShutTheSuccop]

I live out of state and can say that there is no way I can make it for a friday tourney...but I will support whatever the consensus would be. If you guys have it then, good luck to all!

I once played a course in Chapin that was on Lake Murray and it was pretty nice and reasonably priced.

Timberlake..good course... gotta keep it in the fairways or it can be tough

I also vote for somewhere between the upstate and Midlands. What about Musgrove Mill. Its right on this side of Newberry. Its private though but maybe someone could get us on there. Just a thought

[cockfan06]

sorry guys, I started thisjust trying to see how many would be interested. I'm in the Greenville so if anyone has any connections with a course in the Central part of the state please check on some dates ( I would say the Friday before either the spring game or the first game) and pricing. I will help with anything I can do to help organize it.

[gamecckfan5]

what about the friday before the Spring Game or in the fall the Friday before the first game?I will tell you this, there is another board that has a tourny the firday before the spring game i think, this may knock down on attendance...

[ROCKYTOPnSC]

I am for sure in.

[TheMule]

My handicap is that I don't play. If I'm gonna slap the snot out of a ball I believe that someone else should chase it.

[MACXIMVS]

i suck @ golf, i love to try !

[big cock fan]

I got some connections in atlanta, if any gamecocks are in atlanta and want to play please just let me know.

[Juice4Bruce]

Timberlake..good course... gotta keep it in the fairways or it can be tough

I actually work as a cartboy there (atleast while i'm still at USC) and my parents live in the neighborhood. We put together a good outing if anyone is interested, I can talk to my boss. The course is generally pretty cheap for foursomes as well as big outings so just let me know if I can be of service. I would love to play btw.:golf:

[Scranton Tiger]

I would love to play. For me to participate though, it would have to be in the Fall or Winter. Work won't allow me to play in the Spring or Summer. I also would prefer assigned teams. Would make it a little more fair (IMHO). It would help keep anyone from "stacking" a team or bringing in a "ringer". Not that anyone here would do such a thing.

[ColaCock]

I hate to be the asshole here...but saying "1st Annual" is kind of grammatically incorrect. It would be "Inaugural CockyTalk Golf Tourney."

sorry for my Jethro education....(insert sarcasm here) didn't realize I was here to get corrected on grammer. lol j/k

Just had to reply back, seems like everyone on this board wants to be an English teacher lately.

ha no i wasn't trying to be the grammar police or anything...actually i was recently corrected on it and never knew that it was incorrect to say that- until i looked it up and it was proven to me. it makes sense though i guess...it can't be "annual" until it's happened at least once. im far from an english teacher haha

[gripitandripit2007]

I am a dedicated golfer, been trying to make the tour for about 4 years now. I am looking forward to the tournament, especially playing with all of my gamecock family!! I have a lot of connections to courses all over the state, especially in the Florence area and the beach area. Let me know if I can help get the outing together. I'll do whatever I can and look forward to teeing it up!!

:golf: :golf: :golf: :golf: :golf:

[gamecockfandrew]

So, when is this going to happen? I'd love to play. I'm decent when I practice, but I haven't in a while.

[ChucktwnLawCock]

Id be very interested as well. Ill keep checking the forum for updates!

[MBSpur]

me too, as long as there isnt an age limit, im 17 and i shoot in the mid to high 80's, id love to play with a team that we could bring

[rnecavs07]

id play...it sounds fun..i shot a 89 the otherday

[dan.man.44]

Id like to play also. I shoot in the 60s and 70s.. if it gets any hotter than that, I dont play. Just kidding. Let me know when and where.

[shrpshtr]

is this a dead issue or is it still being considered?

[mccock1]

i'm awful but i will play

[TaterHater1984]

I figured I'd bump this. I still want to do it. hah.

[Bickett22]

Sounds like a good time. I only get to play about 5 times a year.

[robgusc76]

So ill just say it like this, if we were doing handicaps on a 1-10 scale 10 being the worst in the country/world i would be about a 82494 but golf with friends is always fun.

[LollerCock]

I would like to do it if the entry fee isn't too much. I have recently decided to start playing and see how far I can take my golf game... by the end of the summer I want to have played in at least one Regions Cup tournament... right now I don't have an established handicap, but last time I played (last Thursday, May 1st) I shot an 82 at Mount Vintage from the black tees... A couple more times out and I should be shooting around 75 or so... and I hope to break par by mid-July.
ANYWAY, I'd love to have a tourney environment to play in... acclimate myself to a little pressure... I haven't had any pressure since high school baseball state tournaments. lawl.

[TKE226]

I am soo jealous of you all if you have a tourney. Wish I could be there. My game is coming along great. Last 3 rounds were 77,75 and 76. then the baby came.

[dan.man.44]

let me know when and where you are planning to play.

[dreammachine]

This sounds like a great idea and it would be a good time to get many Cockytalk Fans together. We need to do this thing before it gets too hot or either sometime in the fall.

As far as a golf course to play on, this thing should be played somewhere in the middle of the state. I have played Charwood a couple of times and it is a fair course. I don't care where we play as long as it is convenient for everyone to get to.

I am a "Certified D Player". I did go and take lessons from a Golf Pro and his advice to me was this: "Take one more lesson and never play golf again"! I wonder what he meant????:golf: Count me in if y'all decide to do it! Cow pasture pool, what a great game!

[Garnet Goon']

I Love to play but I am terrible. Count me in.

[boo boo]

Would love to participate. Live in GA, but not to far, plus my pops still lives in cola. @ 15-20 HC

[Scooter2001]

Love to play!!

[dfgoofyguy15]

I'm entertaining on the golf course, if there is any sand, tree, bush, bench, or any other obstacle some how or another my ball ends up hitting it. Golf is really fun to play but i'm not very good.
