Elmwood was a joke since it is a par 68. I played Indian Creek yesterday and the greens were lightning quick.
From a EAL IG story, just casually reading some Hemingway by the pool next to a golf course. He couldn’t try any harder.
that book is like 150 pages... probably should have knocked that one out by now if he's going for the refined high brow taste. dome foam ill keep you posted on Friday in chuck
Started lining up my putts using the alignment on the Pro V1 while practicing the other day. Made like 10 10 footers in a row. Pretty novel concept for a +3 hcp that teaches people how to play for a living.
This reminds me of being at the driving at the Seminole course while back at FSU. There was a practice bunker to the left of the range. I skulled the hell out of one and it flew under a raised up truck in the parking lot. The ball loudly ricocheted between the ground and under carriage a dozen times. I scurried over to my car and hid while the shame and embarrassment subsided.
so today I decided to play a quick 9 holes...and the two groups in front of me that wouldn't let me play through made it 2 hours. But It was two guy who could barely golf sharing time with their wives/gf's who were learning to golf, so I couldn't complain too much. However, I have started doing this before my rounds and I feel like I'm putting better. I drop an alignment stick down on the green, about 4/5 yards from the cup. line up a straight in putt. Then just continually sink the same putt over and over. I look stupid and feel stupid, but its definitely helping.
Don’t think that’s stupid at all. Good way to boost confidence in your putter and ensure alignment is good
IrishLAX2 or anyone else have strong opinions on rain gear? Needing to get some pants for Bandon. Last year at a charity tournament I bought both the short and long sleeved FJ HydroLite jackets at a huge discount but need pants now; are the FJ pants worth the extra cost?
I bought some cheap knockoff brand ones a couple years ago at pga superstore. They work good for me. I have the hydrolite jacket as well that I bought from Golfsmith when they were closing down
Agreed, I only bought those jackets last fall because the tournament shop had them discounted by about 40%. I’m also currently annoyed with FJ because I bought the new Superlites in April and already had a problem on the toe of one of the shoes; I reached about when it first came up and they said not to send them until their facilities reopen after Covid (understandable) but I haven’t been able to get a response since they’ve reopened.
Search eBay for “golf goretex” or specific brands. You can get a top of the line rain suit new with tags for less than $250.
Have had a fun time playing golf during the pandemic. Course is officially closed for the next three weeks as they replace our collars with new grass.
Had a 930 tee time but cancelled because the ex kept me up last night. Figured I’d get on a niner in the afternoon...Omaha is burning so probably not .
Streamsong Black this Friday morning. Red in the afternoon. Just saw the weather forecast. Rain all day. Fuck me.
I got black reserved and they told me we could replay. I asked for red they said probably. Maybe black again then?
Played The Arnold Palmer course at Bay Creek in Cape Charles VA. 2nd time. My all time favorite course. Only saw 2 other golfers the entire time. Took a boat across the Chesapeake to get there. Spoiler
They are already resodding already? Are they changing grasses or something? Just surprising seeing as they are less than 10 years old.
Just striped my 3 wood 283. It’s all downhill from here. The shot wasn’t, just golf in general for me will go down hill.
These numbers remind me of a article I read about golfers throwing out bullshit distance numbers .. just sayin
I went golfing at Stonewall Jackson resort today with a vendor from work. There were two of them and me with my boss. We got to the 3rd hole and there's a guy teeing off. All of us are working so we are just waiting for him to finish up while we're checking emails. After hearing his third shot, we put down our phones He's still going back and forth from the tee to his bag to get another ball. Apparently he isn't putting any in his pocket. He hit FIVE tee shots while we were there. What a fucking asshole. Someone told me that it was probably devine and a lot started to make sense.
After 3rd tee shot i wouldn’t have even looked for any of my errant shots and would have just drove straight to the next tee box.
Breakfast ball off the first tee if it’s before 8AM and you can’t get to the range because you’re still drunk from the night before. No other exceptions for reloads.
fyi ANGC sent out some letters June 1 to people they put on their Badges Wait List. Think they selected at random from prior ticket applicants. So be on the lookout.
Got an email today about applying for 2021 tickets. Looking forward to getting rejected for the 69th year in a row
I moved in February and the dude who used to live here hasn't changed to his new address yet. I'm going to have to call and I guess present confirmation of address.
I registered for tickets yesterday. I also told my roommate to register for tickets. Apparently there can be only 1 person registering for tickets in the same household. Doesn't matter that we aren't family or anything.
I got screwed last year because someone that previously lived in this house must have registered in the past from this address.
