Lipoma Doesn't Measure Up

Tue, 10 Jul 2001 14:40:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - I treked out to Lipoma Firs on Monday July 9th to play the 27 holes they have out there. I had played 18 there right after it opened some 10+ years ago.

The course wasn't especially crowded and I teed off alone for $27 holes, which they only...

Plextor has a winner

Tue, 19 Jun 2001 12:29:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - Having been using a 2x burner for the past 3+ years, I learned what a coaster was many times over.

Not anymore with the Plextor 16/10/40. It used to be a chore to create music CD's. Most had glitches, or would hang in the middle. Now with the...

MC Lady is it all that great?

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 19:52:28 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - After reading all the hype about the MC Lady I decided to try it. My wife had about a half dozen balls left over.

I tend to agree that it doesn't live up to all the hype. The ball is long, but not really longer in my experience than say balls...

Sonicare Plus Rules

Fri, 30 Mar 2001 02:50:59 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - If you make one purchase this year, make it a Sonicare. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this device. I have had one for about a year and a half and would never go back to a regular toothbrush.

I actually asked for this as a...

Napster: Napster Friend of Foe?

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 03:43:08 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - I'm not gonna get into whether Napster trading is good or bad. That is up to the individual and that issue has been debated to death.

What I will focus on is my limited experience with the Napster client.

First of all if you have a...

Citizen Steely Dan

Thu, 29 Mar 2001 02:59:47 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - I'd be lying if I said I didn't love this collection. I was prepared to pay $60 for it only it was out of stock at th etime. I then saw it in a record club flyer as another reviewer stated, it came in through the record club at about 1/3 the price. I...

Allenmore Golf Course

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 21:17:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - Allenmore is a pretty nice public course located just off the freeway in Tacoma near the junction of I-5 and Highway 16.

You have a course here that has very good greens for a public course. I'd classify the course itself as a City parkland...

Dunlop DDH 110

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 03:51:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - If ever a ball was a rock, this is it. While this ball will go off the tee. It isn't very good at stopping on the greens. Interestingly enough, I don't find these balls appreciably longer than the Topflite 2000 Extra Long balls. By contrast the Extra...

Elk Run Golf Course

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 03:38:47 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - Elk Run is situated between Covington and Maple Valley, not far from Lake Wilderness and Druids Glen. The course originally opened in 1989 as a 9 hole executive course. I recall playing it shortly after it opened. In 1995 the course was reopened as a par...

Riverbend Golf Course (Kent)

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 03:32:37 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - Located in the Kent Valley, Riverbend is flat and very easy to walk. This is a course I watched being built and first played the 2nd day after it first opened in 1989. The trees then were little saplings. You won't find as many grown trees as you will on...

Maplewood Golf Course

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 03:13:25 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - In the past I played this course a number of times, not because I love it, but because I played in a league, and it is less than 4 miles from my house. I don't return often now.

While a decent value for the money, the course is on the short...

Trophy Lake

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 02:59:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - This is a course you have to at least get out and play once. This is a top notch facility with a good practice range, great pro shop, and you can even do some fishing should the desire strike.

There are hills and flatter holes. Most fairways...

North Bellingham

Wed, 28 Mar 2001 02:48:00 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - Built on an old farm, North Bellingham is a very flat and easy to walk course. You also won't find many trees here either, but the dozens of bunkers and the dozen or so ponds/wetlands tend to make up for it.

The course has some character, and...

Bellevue Municipal

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 21:33:08 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - Bellevue Municipal Golf Course is located just north of 520 in the city of Bellevue.

The course has a short fence driving range and mediocre chipping/practice facilities. The course can also be extremely busy especially in summer on the...

Top Flite XL2000 ES

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 21:23:30 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - This is perhaps one of the best all around values in a golf ball today. At roughly $1 a ball, you can't beat the price for what you get.

While this isn't is the greatest spinning ball on the planet, it does spin some, more than a pure...

Precept EV Extra Spin

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 21:13:29 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - I picked up a few boxes when the local Golfsmith store closed. They were on half price closeout.

The ball is similar to the Precept MC Spin. In reality I couldnt' really tell the difference. This is an older version but still being produced...

Once Clear Voice is indeed clear

Mon, 26 Mar 2001 20:54:58 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author golfjrr - While I really like and continue to like his previous release World Falling Down, I feel One Clear voice is a better overall product. Considering how much I liked World Falling Down, that says something.

Having a young daughter. Apple of Your...
