Having worked at a country club I have very little respect for the sport at all.
Every now and again there'll be some phenom who has perfect short game ball placement that's just uncanny. Or some sophmore that can friggen clobber the ball on long drives. That's a joy to watch. But the day-to-day golfer that shows up, spends much, and tips like a sailor on his last day of leave is not. Not so much at all. My best golf memory was when two local young docs were 1/2 loaded, 8 pm, and one decided "Only the putter, 18 holes, glow-in-the-dark-balls, winner gets 2k." We (Proshop employees, 3 of us) were the judges to keep things honest. Both of those guys have operated on family members of mine and done an excellent job. That said, the guy who won was the better surgeon as well...

Learn how to grind. Why are you picking up? Quit playing match play/skins and play stroke play and learn to shoot lower scores.

And he said it was best ball, which in most cases is everyone playing their own ball then taking the best score on each hole.

Guy hits like that he should be shooting TiTechs. Though if he were playing Pro-V1s I'd sure like to golf that course tommorow and pocket a dozen or two of those he abandoned. Heh, bought my last golf balls back last fall. Since I started walking several days a week, not only have I collected nearly a 5 gallon bucket full of quality balls, I'm hitting higher quality golf balls than I'd shell out $ for.

I need to change my friends and family then, none of which knew the first thing about golf 20/25 years ago, with the exception of my father and my grandfather - both of which stopped playing years ago. (Grandfather died at 98 a couple of years back, and dad is now 66 and hasn't taken his clubs out in at least 15 years.) Now, even my dipshit uncles, who don't even play the goddamn game, talk about it like they're Johnny freakin' Miller. Cousin now plays, my college roommate now plays, his sister plays, blah, blah, blah. It's like trying to get on your favorite section of stream right after the movie "A River Runs Through It" came out. ****ing everyone thought that they were some goddamn fishing guide - waders, vest, etc. Made me stop fly fishing for damn near 10 years, and I love fishing. I was at this dinner party a couple of years back with my then girlfriend and three other couples, all of which were very attractive, successful people, and while the girls were playing music, mixing drinks, and having a generally great time, the three other guys were sitting on the deck playing a stupid ass dice golf game - after they just played 36 holes that day - complaining about where their new fave golfer was on this weeks money list and if he switched to a new type of Indonesian tee that purportedly gave them another four inches, on average, on their drives, which they would slice 97% of the time anyway. (Which is funny as I went to a buddies wedding two years ago, and actually decided to play with the rest of the wedding party, and was kicking their ass in a standard Nassau and one guy bitched that I was cheating because I was teeing off with my three iron on the long holes.)

You sound like someone who just bitch's just to be bitching about something.

I got a par today. Thats a big deal for me. Choked on the 20 ft birdie attempt by shorting it though.

44-50 for a 94.
Not bad considering I had no ****ing clue where the ball was going with the driver. Par 3's and short game/putting kept me from triple digits. I don't practice or play enough to get much better than a bogey golfer. |

My first round in a year today, my third in the last two years.
Let's just say it wasn't real good. Although it was below my IQ. |
