    Should the GR Titleist ban be lifted?
    After all they won on appeal and their latest iron offerings look pretty sweet. In fact I think that the latest players CB & MB top Mizuno's latest offerings. Or perhaps the ban on the balls should remain in place but lift the ban on their other equipment. This is a conscience vote. Please stand up and make your vote count.

    Didn't we already lift the ban? I thought this happened in December.
    I'm going to vote STFU if it's an option.

    I just saw the forged cavity and forged blade 710 and they are two of the best looking forgings I've seen. I have a keen eye for this sort of thing.

    No only good looking but [B]Endo[/B] forged as well. Titleist should be commended for releasing quality equipment while the other OEM's go down the crappy Chinese route. For this reason alone the ban should be lifted. No one plays their ball anymore anyway. The pro v1 is now relegated to history.

    If I'd have known how many of you lemmings would be drinking the Titleist kool aid in 2010 I would have bought shares back in the 70s. Of course their should be a ban on Titleist, if nothing more than to save the feeble minded from themselves.

    After returning home from work this afternoon, a new glossy Golf Galaxy catalogue was in the post box. In the nether section with all the specials and close-out deals is an ad for one dozen Pro V1 x-outs for $29.95. If I buy this deal at what is probably a loss for Titleist, would I be in violation of the proposed GR ban?

    Aye, Aye, well said. Compare Titleist's Endo forgings to what the rest of the market is offering. Given the pure aspirations of the GR faithful, we should be creating a new award to give to Titleist in recognition of producing real, quality irons and woods when the rest of the herd is selling blown chunks disguised as irons. I'd go with old Pings or even 1992 GBB-s before I'd play the plasticized crap that dominates today's irons market.

    I don't know what all this hot air is about some balls being better than other balls. When you're a natural athlete like me you can take any ball out and shoot the same score. It's quite simple really, if I take a premium ball I fire at the pin and let the spin put the brakes on to bring it to a halt next to the hole. If I use a rock I just open the face, hit it higher and land it a bit shorter to allow for the roll out to the hole. Can't you people control your ball flight? Personally I think the ProV1 are overpriced like everything else from Titleist.

    The word “their” is simply a pronoun. It is a possessive pronoun though and is the possessive form of the pronoun “they”.

    I have unfortunately been deep/unknowingly associated with the mafia, and you will never see violence when you get deep in the game; violence is bad for business, the higher you go up in the hierarchy...

    So don't be a little b!tch if you don't like it; be a man and send them a PM or just click on the red triangle to alert the moderators if you don't like it...

    Kiwi, you are a beloved friend of mine; you are not someone I could ever go to war with...

    To me, you will always be my kind koala bear or sloth, or a damned ass kangaroo hopping around in circles like a crazy ass spider monkey on crack screaming worse than... nevermind...

    I digress...

    Yes I have had a spider monkey crawl his young ass up on me and not let go; not too scary, but disturbing; when they sh!t on your new tee shirt, it can piss a retard off in the middle of the Amazon jungle worse than the heat and humidity; true and I got pictures...

    Dammit, it took two handlers to get that little grape fruit head bastard off of me; I am on my back screaming like a little girl and the determined ass monkey won't let go; I spilled my alcohol (Caipirinha; national drink of Brasil) all over myself, the monkey, and handlers...

    Monkey sh!t and 80-100 proof flying everywhere; the stench was the worst smell I have experienced in my life; maybe it was the heat and humidity combined.

    The HUGE gorgeous parrots on the bar table were gorgeous and well behaved, however. There were other well behaved little monkeys however; don't know the breed; forgot the breed, but will remember; little fast ass tiny bastards...

    There were photos of Bill Clinton that stayed at this resort... Bastard probably flew in for a 5 minute ride on a helicopter whilst my retarded ass took a 6 hour boat ride...

    Chimpanzee? You can kiss my ass! I will rip/tear/destroy both of my hamstrings running in the opposite direction of that chimpanzee ass bastard...

    B!tch you wanna fight a chimp? You are on your own d!ckhead; unless I have a sawzall close by, retard. I am just glad they are not in the Amazon jungle... A spider monkey will kick your ass though b!tch if you are not ready for him...

    Don't f with the spider monkey.

    Interesting story Spank

    When I travelled through Africa my girlfriend at the time couldn't figure out that the monkeys and other animals that often hung about are actually wild animals and as such freaking dangerous. One time in Tanzania we stopped for lunch in a game park. A little spider monkey came up and we fed him some of our scraps. Fair enough, he was having a good old munch, but my dumbass girlfriend kept trying to get closer just like you would try to pat a cat. Luckily this thing lashed out just as a warning without actually hitting or scratching her. Another time in Zimbabwe we were walking on tracks near the Victoria Falls and there were baboons hanging around near the trail. They were pretty cool as they are used to humans as long as you don't disturb them. Again my girlfriend thought this one old baboon was "Lovely" and kept edging closer to him. At this point I told her in no uncertain terms to get away from him. Holy crap imagine what would happen if that beast had attacked.

    Another time in India in a place called Agra we climbed some stairs onto a rooftop balcony area that had great views of the Taj Mahal. There was a BMF (Big Mother Fuking) monkey, about the size of a small chimp, sitting in a tree right beside the stairwell. He ignored us but later a dumbass American dude with a camera decided to take his photo. He had a camera with a BMF zoom lens on it but he still insisted on getting closer and closer to that monkey. I was watching thinking "Take the fuking picture already!" Next thing the monkey has had enough and charges the guy! He sprints back to where me and our girlfriends are sitting and the monkey chases him. We both grab deck chairs to try and fend that monkey off just in case he attacks. He circles us baring his fangs and flashing his testicles which is a natural sign of aggression. Luckily he eventually backed off and didn't attack. Monkeys have BMF fangs on them that you just don't realise. A bite from that thing would have been nasty not to mention full of diseases.

    I had both Arkansas and Oklahoma as territories and I'd have to say that Arkansas wins in the areas of terrain, scenery and quality of life. Little Rock is a beautiful city and I would rank it's fancy little downtown area a little higher than Oklahoma City's feeble attempt at recreating the river walk. However, I think Tulsa is a great city. Very cool. Arkansas accents are a little thick and once you get out of the city areas it starts to get hickish real fast.
