Default Corvett / Golfers

I love the fact that I can get two sets of clubs in my 2001 vert. I
didn't expect to.
Heres the question. How many vett owners out there golf and whats your handycap. Mines about an 18.

I can fit my clubs in the front floorboard/ seat of my '75, or in the back hatch of the '04. Played today for the first time in 2 years.
Let's just say, If I were shooting for chit, I wouldn't get a wiff.

Not a professional,,no where near it!! But I must agree,,nothing better than driving my vet to and from a round of golf!! No official handicap,,but average scores on my home course run low to mid 80's. A REALLY good day might get into the 70,,,a bad day might hit 90,,,,,,,golf IS a fickle funny game!!!

I play three times a week. I am a 12,.
All my clubs are custom made by a local builder (Maltby components for irons). I just replaced my pings with these new ones. They are much better suited to a 65 year old golfer. Custom clubs cost no more than off the shelf. My clubs fit easily in the vert, but my three wheeler doesn't, so I usually take my truck to the course.

How many of you guys walk, and how many ride? I usually walk.

Two bags in the trunk with the top down. How great is that?
I just started playing last fall. Living in costal South Carolina we play year round.
I was custom fitted two months ago to a set of Wilson Prostaff DI9 irons.
Taylor Made Burner driver
Nike Mako unitized putter.
Still using woods and hybrids from my first set, but always looking to upgrade.
I like to walk, but it depends on the course.
