Secession member guest this wk. Hurricane rolled through last Friday and course was still immaculate. Made a 60’ putt on our last hole that we thought won us our flight. We were going nuts. We lost our flight my one
I’ve played twice this year now which I think matches 2020-2023 combined. So I got that going for me, which is nice. Game is shockingly non awful. First round was 74 on my own ball and second round we placed 2nd in 18-team scramble. Moral of the story, don’t play or practice ever.
Muscle memory for a stick like you. I remember you posted a night time range video years ago and you looked the part of a plus handicap player.
Porter is good people so hopefully he makes his way on his own. Sign up for the newsletter if you are so inclined
Gamble Sands is the nicest course I've ever played, by far. Course was in immaculate condition, fastest and best greens I've ever seen. Yesterday was probably the most fun I've ever had playing golf, and I didn't have to watch Vandy smoke Bama. Played really well. Two rounds yesterday, shot a 90 on the first 18 and then an 85 on the second 18. Maybe the best I've ever hit my driver, lost 2 balls all day. Ball striking was on point. Putting was ridiculously hard having never played greens that fast. Hole 36 of the day, huge par 5, crush my drive to 200 out. Hit a second shot 4-iron within ten feet of the hole, in front of the entire clubhouse. Left the eagle putt short, but finished with a bird. Spoiler Spoiler
We also played Desert Canyon on Friday, but it was 25+ mph wind with like 40 mph gusts, just brutal. Started slightly raining the last 4 holes. Shot a gross 98
shot 43-53 for a 96. 2 birdies on the front and no pars. So many burnt edges and lost my driver swing on the back and fell apart
Jay Don Blake (!!) getting a sponsors exemption to the PGA event this week when Club Pro Guy already called it quits is just cruel timing
Went and got fit for a driver yesterday. Was expecting to buy a g430 10k or a qi10 max. Couldn't hit either of them worth a fuck. The fitter suggested I try the standard qi10 and I hit it 30-40 yards farther than everything else. Took it home.
Warmed up with my old driver.. put on a show. The fitter actually took a few steps back like I was going to somehow hit it behind me. I was hitting balls in every direction. Tough scene.
I have no long-term ill will towards the semi washed that take the bag. In fact I think that should be the long term situation for LIV if an agreement ever comes. Have it be mostly semi washed pros that can play a limited schedule and score all sorts of activation money.
I still have no idea how this is superleague is supposed to work but I guess the PGA and LIV don’t either.
Or they’re doing a real good job of keeping it quiet and will just rip the bandaid off one offseason with no warning
The KVV story on LA is very interesting however if I had to listen to the Bobby guy anymore I’d probably cut my ears off
Played Congressional Blue Course yesterday. Pretty…pretty…pretty good and couldn’t have asked for a better Fall weather day.
After day 1 of the MG we're still in it. Tied both matches so we didn’t get any points but the leaders are only at +2 in our flight. If we win both matches tomorrow we’re in good contention heading into the final day. We ham and egged all day and just couldn’t get on the same page. We thought we had the second match won but our opponent drained about a 40 footer from off the green to save par.
So after day 2 of the MG tournament I’ve come to the conclusion that golf is the dumbest game ever invited. Whoever plays this game is a masochist. Robin Williams was right with the reason this is called golf is bc all the other 4 letter words were taken. With that said, I’ll be back out there tomorrow to see if I can salvage some form of dignity to be able to show my face around the club.
Though I am going to a Topgolf tonight for the first time ever so excited about that. Will be nice to have something to do besides watch a certain stupid game I’m already mad about.
