Other Sports What Do You Do After A Horrible Round of Golf? - Page 7

Discuss Thrower · 07-18-2009, 08:38 PM

Playing in a two-man team best ball with my dad this weekend and today's opening round was horrible. I didn't finish three holes in a row on the front 9, and an additional 3 on the back. My drives have been inconsistent all summer, and even when I played conservative and teed off with an iron I duffed it into high grass. My thought on every swing was just place a smooth and slow shot, but it wasn't working.

Technicalities aside, wtf do I do? Get drunk (not enough beer in the fridge). Get laid? (Fat chance) Watch TinCup or Caddyshack? (watched the former last night) Or do I just preoccupy my mind with something else on every shot tomorrow?

as with all of my other threads...

You 3 putted 11 greens? Are you spastic?

Let's just say it wasn't real good. Although it was below my IQ.

WOW Great game, you should go pro.

Now if you had said below your weight, I would have been worried

After a bad round of golf? I take comfort in the fact that I could dominate most golfers in activities that are actual sports.

I don't think it's reasonable to refer to missing a 20ft putt as choking... Unless you've got a tour card you're probably not expected to make it.

Most of my games are bad games but if I have a REALLY bad game i'll throw my 6 or 8 iron into the lake.

Naw, I five putted this crazy triple tiered hole with an asshole pin placement. I had a four putt in there too, but yeah, had alot of 3 putts to. One of the best rounds I hit the ball in my life too, it was crazy. I was always a nutcase on the course, not exactly that hot headed, but the I've done the dumbest things and had the dumbest rounds back when I used to play competitively.

That is an incredible dyspeptic round there... 5 putting a green yet still making a decent score. What's your handicap?

True. I love it and hate it when I actually have a shot at a birdie. First, you realize "hey, this could be a birdie". Then you think "oh God, this could be a birdie, don't screw it up." Then "Damnit, you friggin idiot!! Hit the damned thing." Then I knock in the par and still feel like I accomplished something.

My biggest problems are the par 5 holes since I never know where my ball will go with the driver and long irons.

I think it's a victory if you have a birdie putt longer than 15ft that you're able to get it within an easy par putt's distance. Then again, my game on the green is predicated by two-putts anyway.

Another round this morning. Anything under 140 is a victory.

My guess is after this horrible round I'm about to have, I'll quit golf for another year.
