Have you played Tannenhauf or Skyland Pines recently?

I’ve never played Tannenhauf. It’s probably been close to 5 years since I played Skyland Pines.  It’s a short course but not bad.  Tree lined.  Pretty tight.

I’ve played them both, just curious how they are nowadays. We added a guy who isn’t too great, doesn’t break 100, to our group. So I was looking for something a little easier for him. We might be going with Chenoweth. We are heading to Links at Firestone Farms in the afternoon on Saturday. I’m super pumped for that place.

Yeah goto Chenoweth.  I don’t need anymore broken siding from your new guy lol jk  

Won a new club on a golf forum I frequent and it was delivered today.

Hackers Paradise.

So far, since joining in December 2018, I've won a free trip to Vegas (played at TPC Vegas and Cascata), a free set of Hogan PTx Pro irons with UST shafts that can't be configured through the Hogan website (part of the Vegas trip winnings), and this Ping Crossover. Not bad for just under 2 years.

I can't score to save my life from 75 yards and in.  

Pretty pumped for the tour to return to TPC Boston this week. Hate that it isn’t an every year stop anymore. 

Played in a scramble Sunday. Had some fun but we just played okay. 

What’s some of the best 4 man scramble scores you’ve seen or been around? The team that won Sunday was 17 under. I’d imagine that’s pretty good but nothing earth shattering.

We won one a couple weeks ago at -17 at Kyber Run in Johnstown. We got called cheaters by one of the teams tied for 2nd place team who finished at -15. We could have easily been -20 but we missed a few putts.

Were they seriously pissed or just joking around?

I think a little of both. It’s the 3rd time in 6 years that my team has won. Usually we shoot around -14, but it was always at Blackhawk in Galena. Which was a tougher course. They want to play us for $1000/man next year. Idiots.

I played in one about 3 years ago a Sanctuary in North Canton. We were on fire and shot a -16. Felt pretty good about that. The winners came in like 45 minutes after everyone else and had a -22. I called bullshit. That was a birdie on all par 4's and 3's and an eagle on all 5's. if you're shooting like that, you're not 45 minutes later than everyone else.  Their excuse was the got all the markers for long drive and closest to pins.. but everyone who finished on that hole brought them in. I'll never believe we weren't robbed lol.

Oh yeah, the last minute scorecard turn in or the super late group is always a dead giveaway. 

This year for us it wasn’t a shotgun start and we were like the 7th out of 26 groups to finish. And the group bitching was 2nd to last to finish. So if anything, their score was probably fake haha

not that that course is super hard.... but you'd need 4 pga tour players to birdie and eagle every hole. 

Going off the BS golf shit, I was playing with 3 coworkers a few weeks ago. 2v2 best ball. 

Dude On the other team hit his 2nd shot in the front side green bunker (or at least he said he did), and when he got up to the bunker the ball wasn’t there. We looked for 5 min, scraping up the banker thinking maybe it got buried, didn’t find it. He said he is going to take a free drop right in front of the bunker since “that wasn’t an OB shot, he just couldn’t find it” we were like well yeah but the definition of taking a drop is you can’t find your ball, Lol.  

He was holding pretty firm and we ended up just saying whatever and hopefully we don’t lose by 1 (because his chip was within a foot and they won the hole with a par)...well what do you know we lost by 1, and had to Venmo that guy $50.

Sucked 

Lol. Nope. 

If you’re playing for money, there are no free drops. Unless it’s actually a situation where it’s warranted, ie cart path. 

He should have dropped from where he previously played, hitting 4.
