I'll bid on it. But the putter was actually semi golden today. I actually drilled a 45 footer today...

TO SAVE A TRIPLE BOGEY!!!!!!

Been there. Did I ever tell you the story about the 350 yard par 4 I drove at the 37 Forever golf event 2 years ago?

3 tiered green. I'm on the lowest tier. First putt comes within 2 feet of the hole. I'm stoked. Only problem.... I hit past it. For my putt, I nudged it knowing that if I went past, the ball was gone. Sure enough, as soon as the putter face touched the ball, that sumbitch hauled ass 50 feet down the hill again.

Ended up with a double and was HAPPY to get that. Toughest greens in the world. That's no lie. Ask Roy.

I'll vouch for him too. Those greens were designed in hell.

Most of the places I play have pretty pedestrian greens. Except for Lions Gate. Those muthas were were like pool table slate. But I hit a long one there on 17(?). 7 Iron from the fringe. Just touched it and it rolled.... and rolled ...... and rolled..... then dropped.

Cool as hell.

That is what I love about golf I can't for the life of me remember the name of the person my wife introduce me to 3 hours ago. But if you say a course that I only played once 6 years ago I will give you a shot by shot detail with the description of every hole.

That would be a great rant, if it wasn't about golf.

Golf is gay.

This game has me. I started playing the 3rd week in May of this year. Now, I play every day that I have off. It's like crack. When I'm more horrible than normal (like today) it's like withdrawl symptoms.

Jeezus I was mad as hell today. But still, I hit that putt.... Made it all worth while.

Update... I like golf again. Yesterday I got back on track. Shot a 90. Haven't broken 90 yet. Played my 3rd round of golf without losing a ball.

Small victories.

I thought I had a temper on the course. That and the fact I can't afford to play since I don't qualify under my parent's membership anymore is the main reason I haven't played in more than 5 years.
My suggestion is to switch to decaf or more practice.

Hey Will did you play in Springfield today?

In the group ahead of me today on the first tee, a gentleman steps up on the first tee and I hear him say "Lord please get this into the fairway that is all I ask".

He proceeded to hit it off the toe 25yds straight right into the lake. Immediatly after finishing his prayer, and watching the ball hit the water, he let off with a 4-5min tirade of words I dare not share. I was laughing so I almost could't hit the ball when our group was up next.

Then on the 4th hole he flubs 3 chips in a row next thing I know he throws his PW 50 yards into the creek. And after following him around the course I got to say that it was the best shot he had today.

I've played with better and I played with worse, but this guy was the most entertaining I have had the pleasure of following on a golf course.

I played Hickory on Friday. Two-man Scramble Member Guest with my dad. He's turned 75 May 22. We carded a 71. I should shoot that own my own I made a 35-40 footer and he made a 20 footer but we missed 5 birdies putts that were less then 15 feet long. I think 4 were prolly less then 10'. How can two people putt that bad?!!We won $80.00 though so........wudn't all bad. And that Country Club Calm Chowder

I just went over my round and I hit 9 fairways, 15 greens and had 33 putts. We did not use all my iron shots out of those 15 we used three of my dads. I'd prolly shot at least 4 strokes higher own my own. 75 on Hickory Hills isn't to shabby.

I thought about this thread today. Went out with a guy in church, we decided to play the chapionship tees. We hit the second tee box (the first par 4) and I realize it isn't going to be a good day driving the ball. after several holes, I put the driver up and started using the 2 iron. There is something wrong when you can hit your 2 iron 2x as far as the driver - and lets not comment on how much straighter it was. If I had been playing the Bertha Clone instead of my Hawkeye, I probably would have thrown it - it is amazing the restraint one can have when the remind themselves of how much a club would cost to replace. Had to settle for a stinkin' 85 thanks to the stinkin' driver.
