Not only is it fun and challenging, but golf courses usually have good critters, snakes, turtles and such. Great bird life too. Lots of bass and snapping turtles in golf course ponds. Hangin out with a couple friends, burning, having a few beers, playing some golf. Whats wrong with that ? Kev did you see the pic of the baby snappers I texted you? One of the guys found 9 coming out of the edge of a sand trap yesterday. We had a young Bald Eagle playing in the creek the other day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where I work its mostly older people in the mornings when I am there. Some folks take it way to seriously. Last night I was left unsupervised with a bottle of tequila. Please dont take my comments personaly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told you guys I can set youz up with the whole shmear during the week. Just pm me. There are much better places to golf than my place. Its sad. They just dont care about it. They certainly don't. It is cheap, though. The greens are terrible. I just got done. Had a terrible front, but a pretty good back nine. Wound up with 8 skins and 2 greenies and pocketed. $12.50 You know it must be a penguin bound down if you hear that terrible screaming and there ain't no other birds around.

bospa357 Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 One of the local courses near me just had an incident that made the news recently. Two guys out for a day on the links (not in the same party). One guy in the party following the other guy's party got a bit pissed off that they were taking too long at each hole. They had words at a few holes and eventually a fight broke out between the two guys. They ended up on the ground fighting with others jumping in trying to separate them when one guy screams, "He just bit my finger off!" Sure enough, the dude bit the other's finger clean off. Doctors were unable to reattach the finger. The guy ended up in court with criminal charges being filed against him. He was a carpenter for a city a few towns over and ended up loosing his job as well. Should have stayed in bed that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splions Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 I play a couple times a week and love it. My handicap is 20...not so great. Here is how frustrating it can be...I played Thursday and shot 100...not good. I played Friday and shot a 41 on the front nine. I figured I would break 90 for the first time this year. I played well through the 15th hole...seven shots over par on the last three holes. Ended up with a 49 or 90 on 18 holes "A successful man is one who can lay a strong foundation with the bricks thrown at him."- David Brinkley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlumFishing Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Went to the Dell Tech tourney today, been I believe 5 times now and this is the last year of it m, then it’s every other year between somewhere in NY (haven’t checked which course) and TPC Boston and will be the Northern Trust if not mistaken. Wonder how hard Dell pushed for it to stay as it was a legacy EMC major sponsored event (Deutschland Bank the primary) and Dell has the WGC Match play already. Anyhow, caught Tiger right when we got in as the entrance path brought us right to the 7th. Can’t deal with that mob scene so we went to the 8th, which was a par 3, and we could set up in the middle of the hole in the shade and see tee to green action, so we stayed there for about 7 groups through the final pair. There were hardly any other spectators in that spot, just us and a few volunteers most of the time. On the final pairing Roger Maltbie rolled up in a cart right next to us few feet away, and I said “my expert observation is that everyone is leaving it short” (which was true, pin in the back up a ridge o the green and everyone was below the ridge). He just glanced at me, Hatton hits his shot and instantly Maltbie is speaking into his mic “that’s hit towards the back of the green, just a matter of if it sticks”. Ball lands way short so I say “yup, that looked short to me” and he said “sometimes luck beats talent” to much delight of his cart mates. Simpson hits next and its way short and off the right of the green. He says to me “and sometimes they go right” and they speed away up to the green. I did not make a friend with Mr. Maltbie today. Tiger picture. It’s a fools errand to just follow him with the crowd size. Edited September 3, 2018 by PlumFishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting back into the game after a solid 15+ year layoff and I must say a high arcing approach shot that leaves a crater of a ballmark gets me pretty hot. Any of you golf too? I grew up in a real golf family; a couple cousins became pros. I prolly first went on a course about 5, and played about 15 yrs. Then only a few times a yr for a while. What I found then was playing only occasionally, I put no pressure on myself, and was usually scoring almost as well as playing regularly. Then back to it and belonged to various clubs for 10+. Then kids put a damper on that. It coincided with the golf boom, courses got more crowded, and weekend rounds took 5-6 hrs. I hate playing slow like that, I get PO'd and usually play crappy. I want to play some again, but I'm gonna wait a little longer since Cape courses are so crowded in the summah. On 9/1/2018 at 5:59 AM, 2sammich said: I love to play.

Hockey's the most overall demanding sport I've played, but agree that golf is the most difficult because of the precision required. Most everybody's swing gets off, and it can take a while to get it back. It wasn't all that often I had everything working at once. Courses can be absolutely beautiful places. My favorite was to be there late in the day when the shadows get longer. Edited September 3, 2018 by patchyfog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchellNJ Posted September 3, 2018 Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I only play nice courses. There's no reason to waste effort showcasing my abilities on scrub links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
