    Lol, I played in a strip club tournament there that got busted by Inside Edition

    just got back, not bad at all for $15. course was in good shape, water was cold. lots of blind shots, not much room to work with on some holes with narrow fairways. really laid back golf course. no starter, no snack cart, etc.

    not too far away is the westwinds golf course which i played a couple days ago. much more longer, $30 which wasn't bad either. a lot of the fairways are lined with houses, and the guys we got paired with nailed a couple houses dead on. it was hysterical because these were mammoth drives and then you would hear a boom. even the mowers were laughing. some of those houses are really really close, we were pretty much driving our carts in their backyards.

  • i don't know if you are joking or if the link isn't working correctly, but with shottracker they describe every shot he hit on the hole. i thought i was linking to that hole not a shot

  • I'm hitting the ball better than I've hit it in several years right now. Which no doubt will translate into a 92 when we all get together. Chipped in for eagle last evening, that was fun. Missed a 10 footer for 79, that wasn't.

  • shot a 12 over 82 at cross creek this morning. hit two amazingly bad hooks that led to lost balls and double bogey. three putted 3 greens on the front on my way to 36 total putts. i was really uncomfortable over a lot of shots. just a bad round. that place is tough though. even in a good round, it's so hard to avoid a couple bad holes.

    i did have one of those "really bad shots that becomes a birdie" though. i hit a good drive on #11, a tough par four, and was in between 6 and 7. i hit 6 and hit it ultra thin. like didn't get above 10 feet thin. however, it was perfectly in line with the pin, landed probably 20 yards short of the green, and ran all the way to the back about 2 feet away from the pin.

    I know our skill levels are way different, but if I shoot a 92 when we get together, I'm buying the whole group a drink.

    Deal. Hell I'll help you cheat to get there.

  • How many you all got on Friday, my schedule has changed somewhat?

    ConGOTERPS

  • Yeah I'm kind of wondering that too. This sounds like we'll have the largest outing yet.

    DarrellGreenFan

  • we have room for more is the answer. i'm not sure of the exact count, but i think we have 3-4 more spots. i have the names and exact count in my email account which is down right now

  • Had a crazy round today, 50/36 - 86 with 2 birdies, a triple and two quads. One of the quads I fluffed one out of a fairway bunker, then fluffed a chip so bad I double-hit it and had to call a penalty on myself. The other quad I got in another fairway bunker, a very tough one, very high to clear it but a long par-5 so I didn't want to just PW it out of there. On my first attempt I hit a good shot that just caught the high mound in front and bounced back behind me in the bunker. Having a bit more room this time, idiot that I am I tried it again (I was hitting a 22 degree hybrid, just a stupid club selection but I had 180 or so uphill to the green and wanted to get it there) and this time hit a low screamer that buried itself in the lip of the bunker itself. I mean buried, as in started to tunnel under the earth. Not only could I not get a club on it, I had a hard time digging it out with my fingers. Had to take an unplayable, wound up with a 9 on the hole. Sergio would have been proud.

    But I got it going on the back 9 so who knows what kind of game I'll bring to the outing on Friday. Good or bad I'll be there. The UM course gave me fits last time with all the uphill approaches to front pins on hard greens. Most of the holes are long enough that I can't get closer than 7-iron or so, and I just don't have the swing speed to spin a 7-iron enough to stop it on a hard green. So it's either hit to the middle of the green and wind up on the back, or hit to the front of the green, catch it a little thin and come up short or even roll back down the slope. I just hope they don't have Melwood Open style rough.

    Anyway, I'm in, let's do this.

  • Just had my career best 84 this weekend at Oglebay. Weeee.

    And now that I actually have a job, I can get new irons/woods. However, I don't think I am ever going to hit a driver again.

  • I played in Miami Beach on Friday. It was really windy...25 mph with much stronger gusts. Almost all the holes ran either dead into the wind or dead against it. As an example, I was over the green with driver/PW on a 465 yard par 4, and nutted a driver/4I to reach the front of a 390 yard par 4. I hit a 7-iron that ended up carrying 195, hit the back of the green, and stopped 30 yards later. Oops. I shot an 88 though, which after staying out until 4:30 drinking the night before, is hard to complain too much about.

    I'm not used to greens that hard/fast. The putting was great, but man was it hard to stop a ball on a green. Even my solid pitching wedges were spilling forward a couple of yards.

    On one hole on the back, we had a very stereotypical Miami Beach moment. I was first to tee off, when this ridiculously attractive woman came out to the back yard, about 20 yards from the course, and started working on some plants that were attached to her fence. Naturally, she was at least a DD cup, and was wearing the tiniest of bikini tops. A blue-blooded hetero male couldn't help but stare. So I finally tee off, and literally top it about 25 yards.
