For the Golfers

[Hot_pocket]

Figured the golfers should have a side thread also. Share your rounds and experiences, as well as your tips if you have any.
Today I shot 99. I didn't start hitting them good till about the 7th hole, where i started playing bogey golf. I had 2 pars on the day and my short game and putting was on point. I just kept putting myself in bad lies and had no good looks off the tee, costing me strokes for having to punch out or drop all together.

Hmmm I've never had the desire to play a game of real golf but I do love playing
miniature golf though. I guess that I burned myself out of wanting to play golf
back when I was 8 or 9 years old as our neighbors up the street were golf fanatics
and they gave me a club and a few tees and a few balls.

Well we had a great big back yard and all summer long I would get up bright and
early in the morning and I would hit the ball as far as I could then go find it and
hit it back the other direction and repeat it over and over all day long all summer
long.

I said back then at the end of summer vacation that I'd probably never try to play
golf and to this day I've never stepped foot on a golf course but as I said I do love
to play miniature golf.

I like golf but I'm not very good at it. Getting outside on a nice day to play a round on a nice green course is a fantastic way to spend a day, though.

You should have turned that burn out into passion and been on the PGA tour lol...
9 holes? Haven't played a nine hole course yet.

I played in high school and was somewhat consistently breaking 80...now I set out with the goal of breaking 95 the few times I get out a year haha. I used to golf pretty regularly but since I moved to CO and now MD, I haven't found anyone to golf with so I usually only golf when I go back home to MI.

Its funny how my interest in watching golf has completely disappeared since Tiger has fallen off. I used to watch most of the weekend coverage during the majors and the Sunday coverage for the regular tour events (even before Tiger came on the scene), now I hardly watch a stroke.

I love to golf also. But unlike bowling where I hook, in golf I slice! LOL. Haven't gotten to play a lot this year yet because of all the rain.

I didn't have a high school team, which sucked because i'm pretty sure I would be a better golfer if I did. I haven't shot under 90 yet even though I've been playing for years. I'm close though. I always end up shooting high thanks to stupid decisions or blow up holes.

I went from slicing to hooking ...I just can't win lol

Slicing and hooking...I prefer the terms power fade and power draw. I think it makes me sound a couple strokes better than I actually am haha.
