The EA sports game is fun especially if you’re playing by yourself. PGA2K23 was fun too but was developed on the last generation. Playing with a friend is a little more fun on 2K imo. A lot less bells and whistles and shittier graphics.
According to the awesome GHIN app rewind I played 22 rounds at 18 courses and increased my handicap from 15.5 to 19.9. Sub 20 handi baby!
jealous of anybody who hit double digits in courses this year, I logged 67 rounds on GHIN but only played 6 courses
21 rounds. 12 courses. Played at least 12 scrambles. That certainly hurt my game this year. Dropped 6 strokes vs last year. 2025 goal. Back to single digit.
Watch in the next 15 minutes a PGA tour/PIF deal is going to come out and it can be right next to this story. It's the obvious end to Jay's legacy.
11 rounds posted at 8 courses. From a 4.3 to a 3.9. Not bad for having our first kid in May. Need to get out more next year though.
The rounds are misleading because any time I played 9 hole league matches it counted for a full round.
Was down to a 2 last year but completely 180’d my swing to deal with my back/neck issues this year. Finally starting to get it together.
Here is by far the highlight of my year in review: Trip up to the northeast, hadn't touched my clubs in months. Shoot my worst round of the year on a fucking badass old-school Ross course. Couldn't hit a fairway, chunking wedges, hitting irons close to the hosel.... Next day play Fishers
Second full year of playing had a ton of highlights. First kid is due in a few weeks, so I took as much advantage as possible.
Started in June at age 36 (and a 36+ handicap). Probably only have had 10-15 days or so where I haven’t played these last few months. Play pretty much only practice rounds or scrambles, want to wait until I’ve played a full year before I really start trying to track it. Went from not being able to hit a ball whatsoever to probably around a 20 handicap as of today. Things have really started clicking lately so going at the rate I’m hoping to be shooting mid 80s at my home course by June, which would put me at about a 12/13. Baby #3 will actually be here in May, which will make it very difficult to play anywhere besides my home course which is 3 minutes from my house with the closest other public course being a half hour away. Have easily spent over 10k between everything but it’s been more than worth it. I can’t see a future as long as I can walk where I’m not playing as much as much as I possible.
Just saw Sentry is next week. We running back the pick ‘em? Or anyone interested in doing a fantasy thing?
Think I’ve golfed like twice in the past 2 years bc of kids and feeling guilty leaving my wife with them for 4+ hours. plus, I’ve been golfing for 20 years and still suck, so I’m not exactly chomping at the bit to get out.
My son is older and is my main scramble partner. Daughter is 3 and absolutely loves coming along and ‘riding in the cart’. As long as there are snacks and her tablet when she gets bored of helping pull the flags and hitting the ball off the tee she’ll stay out there all day with me. Also have a pretty good work situation which definitely helps. I definitely realize how lucky I am and try to take advantage of it as much as I can.
From a friend of mine I have the following for sale. Soon to be in eBay Ping G430 LST 9* Ping G430 Max 15* TM combo ( 9-7 MB / 6-4 MC)
It’s really bullshit we can’t do the ghin rewind with cdga And - after this shitshow I will never ask Golfmetrics for a new feature
Trying to convince my wife that it’s a solid investment to spend the $85k initiation to join Rodeo Dunes outside of Denver. It’s not going well.
My youtube algorithm has talked me into going with jumbo sized grips and I'm sure this is the difference between me being a 21hcp and a 15
5 rounds all of last year..3 of which were in one week in July because of a wedding I was in. Sad state of affairs.
Max was pretty irrelevant last year, hopefully he can regain some form this year but equipment changes can be unpredictable
they had a big display up front for the LAGC team at the Superstore out here forgot Team Rose is the 4th man on our squad
