I don't talk about my scores either.
Brew on
Playing poorly is something I do very, very well.

It kinda sucks being the guy who can. I used to have 4 (including driver) clubs I can hit 240, three carry. Now three clubs that distance, and only two carry. Definitely not sea level here. This one day I hit one down the hill on one at wellshire. Looking at the card thats 316 off the tee. Haven't been down there in years. Anyways 200 out and these people are going do you really think you can get there. I had a five in my hand. Coincidentally the challenge is not the distance but the downhill lie.
It sucks though, and it puts a pinch if not more pressure on the shot. Its tough enough, 240, tight lie, all carry, waiting for the green to clear, pissing off people on tee, maybe even playing partners. Then it comes, almost a bet. Do you think you can get there? Cmon I mean really. Your fine, hit away. Now the shot that is hard enough has become increasingly hard. Almost feel I have to prove something. Adrenaline starts flowing and pulling off the shot becomes much more difficult. Plenty often I will hit a good shot and have it go long all fired up. The studs out here in Colorado hit 6 from 240. Anywho, I have shanked plenty too
. Man been to long since I had an eagle.Had an eagle put today. Not that that is saying much because that hole couldnt have been more then 400 yards. 3 putted for par. Played good, beautiful weather today. Played super good and relaxed with some old friends. Friends and they arent the best so no pressure and played well.

yep. I do feel for you sluggers. Have to wait for the green to clear. haha. Glad to see you guys up north getting your time in.
Played today. The 18th on Chi Chi course, below. My boy, no doubt with the 8i in hand, his normal weapon from the fringe.
Two separate creeks running in front of this green. 2nd shot is pretty dicey on this hole. I lay up in front of those creeks.
If you look at the fairway, the tee box is invisible off the the right. So it's a tricky hole.

Whatever, OB shanker. No one wants to wait for you to maybe get there. You’ll score better laying up [emoji1]

Play two balls. White one for score - lay up, yellow one to try to fly the lake. That's what I do when I see the next tee box backed up.

That's a tasty looking approach. Can't wait to start throwing darts at the greens around here.

Saw a joke thread and well
The police interview this guy and say, what happened to your wife.
Heart broken the guy says I told you, it was horrible, I went to tee off and she walked in front of me and the ball hit her and killed her.
You told us that the police respond, but what is the second mark?
Oh, that was my mulligan.

Resort golf for sure. Due to all the virus scares nobody is here so I had the course to myself. I played a one man two ball scramble.. and I lost. [emoji3] got some of the winter rust out for sure and the golf gods smiled on me the trade winds laid down so it was a perfect day. Hoping to get one more in Friday before we head back

Sorry if you said, and I missed it... where are you?
He's in the fairway. More importantly, what do you lie?

Ha! I really did play a two ball scramble so I was always in pretty good shape. That was a par 5 on the back had a decent eagle attempt but missed the putt (twice)

I like the idea of two ball scramble. Fun challenge. I am going to try that sometime. I dont like to but do play two or multiple balls. The second guy is often better, thats the point. I try to be the second guy first. I heard there was a book titled, be the second guy. I never read it, figured title was the point. I have had these magical rounds by myself on some resort courses all in a good mood, confident. I have also emptied dozens of balls on courses all over the place. Did in sedona one day. Ultimately it means I am not playing well and just playing one and taking my lumps would be better. I like the idea of playing two balls straight, I should see if I can. Once I hit a second, if I dont like it a 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, is coming. And when that becomes every shot, I head to range. Did in Sedona.
Played a one man scramble tournament a couple of summers ago with about 15 buddies. It was brutal with temps around 100 and drinking all day. I was wore out, but it was a lot of fun. Play on golf friends!

I got out Friday. Frigging driver did not cooperate. I can't seem to have driver, irons, and putting in the same round. Ugh. Great course though - Fox Hollow in Trinity, FL.
The mental game is a huge influence on your game. I categorize it in those three sections: tee, fairway and greens. I shoot a respectable score and normally one is on game while the other 2 could use improvement. Usually I'm happy if I get 2 out of the 3 in good form in the heat of the season. So don't knock yourself. At least u have one working comes down to if u want to get that 2 out of the 3? Practice and the range.

Dont know why but all golf jokes involve wife.
This guy is playing golf with some friends and wife. He is on a parkland course not so different than the kind we all play. One day on the 13th he hits a big bannana slice out right and it lands in this old barn, out building. His partner says, I know this shot, I have had it. You open the doors and hit a low chaser out and up to the green. Why not, he figures, and they open the doors and clear the way for this shot. Adrenaline flowing trying to pull this shot off he blades one up into the walls, then rafters, and it ricochets out window hits his wife and kills her.
He is devastated. He quits golfing, starts bowling and never thinks of the game again. One day a few years later he decides its time to play. With heavy heart he goes out and plays. Wouldnt you know it he slices one into the barn on the 13th. Eager, this guy he is playing with says, i have seen this shot, you open the doors and.....I know, I know the man replies. Last time I was here something terrible happened. What?! Asks the playing partners. Oh it was horrible, he responds. They are listening ever more intently now. Last time I was here something tragic happened....I made a double bogey.
