36 putts!

Dude.

I 4 putted a green yesterday. I don't think I've ever done that at the par 3 course. Ended up at +3. So stupid.

Here's how my scoring has improved since 4/30/06:

I had three 3-putts yesterday included in those 36 putts.
Plus, I missed a...
10' birdie on #2
15' birdie on #6
8' par on #7
10' birdie on #9
8' birdie on #10
5' birdie on #12 - lipped out
8' par on #13
5' birdie on #16
I actually made a 20' birdie on #17 and a 30' birdie on #18.
BUT, I had 3 doubles...#5, #11, #15...
Oh, well. There's always next time.

Golf is torture sometimes.

I guess my post didn't make it through somehow.

Let's see...

since 4/30/06 this is how my scoring has improved at the par 3 course:

First 8 rounds 7.75 over par.
Next 26 rounds 5.84 over par.
Last 17 rounds 3.82 over par.

I'm getting there.

you homo's ever hear of drinking beer on the course? instead of keeping your gay score.

the way we play it is this:

highest score for the hole buys the beer the following hole. so on and so forth.

George,
I had 1 before we started, 2 on the front, 2 on the back and 2 at the 19th hole...you homo.

PJ,
That's good improvement. At this rate, the course record at MCC will be in great danger when it opens again.

They installed new pins and cups yesterday. The sound the ball makes as it falls in the hole is classic. Ahhh. Love that sound.

Is that too homo for you George?

+2 yesterday.

I may play with the Winter Texans this fall on Tuesdays. They have some kind of tourney for cash. My master plan is to wipe them out. *sinister laugh*

Brokeback Country Club

It's no Country Club.

George keeps talking about homos and brokeback things. I think George has the ghey!

only for you mi taquito blanco.

ha ha...nice!

Only played Sunday. Holy carp it was hot and the wind was blowing the wrong direction which cost me on 9 and 18.

Birdies on 1, 7 and 10 and bogies on 4,5,9 and 17. Blew it again on 18 for a double to finish at +3. *sigh* Apparently if I'm at +1 or better my tee shot is going in the pond on 18 - guaranteed.

No. Apparently if you are +1 or better, you think about it too much while you're still playing.
I know, I know...sorry!

PJ, I went out to the club yesterday and drove around to check out the progress on the course.
It looked pretty good. The greens are done but the fairways on the front are not yet.
Also, they added about 20 yards to the tee box on #13, the par three. That hole can now play 185-190 yards to a back right pin...into the wind. OUCH!

That's horrible news.

All the greens are seeded? Wow, that didn't take long.

-1 through 12 today. Finished at +3.

+3 is not bad...it's better than +23.

Try starting on the back 9 and then finish on the front 9. See if that makes any difference.

Yea I do that every now and then when people are on the front. It does help a little.

Played the front 9 first last night and went under par for the first time. -1 on the back and then played the front and fell apart. Just call me Sergio.

Sergio, I'm confused. You played the front nine first and were -1 on the back then played the front and fell apart. Is that 27 holes?

Oh yea. I meant to say I played the back 9 first and went -1.

Last night I did the same thing and aced 16! 2nd one at that course. My first ace was several years ago.

After a bogey on 18 I was at even on the back and then I chipped in on 1 to get it to -1. Missed a 4 footer for par on 2 to go back to even and then hit a good tee shot (I thought) that skipped through the green on my last hole. Sucky chip and then a missed 12 footer left me at +1 for the round.

So close. Lipped out a couple of birdie putts and missed 2 4-5 foot par putts.

The ace going in felt really, really good.

That's great! Congratulations on the ace!!
Of course you realize that means you're buying the first round...

You are playing some pretty good golf right now. How come your handicap at the club is 23? You must be "praticing for the next Member-Guest...

When are we going to get together for a weekend golf outing?

Keep in mind that the holes at this course are between 60 and 95 yards in length.

I'll be working on that handicap in the fall when MCC opens back up. Hopefully I'll be able to play out there once a week.

My suckines is mainly due to a horrible slice with my driver and long irons but I have been slowly straightening that out since a lesson a couple of months ago. I had 8 pars at Seven Oaks the last time I played there so it's coming along I will be breaking 90 and then 85 soon. I can feeeeeel it.

Matt, PJ, we do need to get together and play. I'm sure valleyaggie would like to join us too. He can give us a few lessons!
I will be out of town this weekend and have a tournament at Palmview on the 5th.
How about weekday afternoons?

Weekday afternoons are bad for me in the summer. I've been playing the par 3 course most nights at about 6:30 or 7:00.

I think it's about time we all got our priorities in line.
WTF - not playing until 6:30 or 7:00 is dangerously responsible! At least I wear my uniform to work every day just in case the opportunity rears it's beautiful head...

<------- Currently in my golfing uni!

I'll be able to after school starts again. Maybe a Thursday mid-morning at Seven Oaks?

Let's have this discussion again Monday.

We could call it "Monday's secret to Thursday mid-morning golf".

Gid stepped out for Thursday afternoon golf today.

Chipped in on 18 yesterday. Great way to end a round.

Sweet.

Hey Matt, thanks for the invitation...

I saw Richard W. out there too.
