South and East but I haven’t been there in years.

just played all 3. all were good south and East probably the best. 

heard chenoweth not in good shape 

Yeah, it actually made me pretty mad and I’m a pretty even keel guy IRL.

I mean I kind of understand what he’s saying, if I hit my ball and I know exactly where it landed and I go to that spot and I can’t find it and it’s not like there’s water or anything around there, I’m pretty mad. And if I’m just playing for fun, I probably wouldn’t take a drop. But the fact that it was $50 a man, that should mean you should play by a stricter process with drops. 

He didn’t even ask too. Just was like “fuck this I’m not taking a drop the ball was right fucking here” and when we said “ehhhhh...” he got pretty mad so we just said fuck it. 

Just really sucked that we ended up losing by 1 haha

It looks good. I haven’t played it this year. 

Another f*cking 50.

We play gallery rules, but in that instance, you drop IN the bunker. 

Gallery rules is a shot that is clearly in-bounds, but maybe in some thick rough and you can't find it -- but with a gallery, they watch it roll and surround it. Everyone has a decent idea of where it ended up...you take a free drop at that spot.

Maybe I’m mis-remembering and he dropped in the bunker. I really can’t remember other than he made a good chip and putt for par and we bogeyed, so he won the hole. We were not happy

Regardless, it seems fishy. He saw it go in that bunker (who looses a ball in the sand anyway?), but nobody else saw the shot, then I tend to believe he was full of it and that ball was OB or in the woods or something lol

EDIT: We will also in a situation like that tell the person to take the score he personally wants, but you cant win the hole (unless obviously partner does)

Yeah his partner said it went in the bunker, and I know his partner well and don’t think he’d cheat. I actually fully believe him, but the ball prob got carried away by a critter or something, and that still means he takes a stroke lol

Shot a 43 at league tonight. I parred both par 3s, but I can’t tell you the last time I had a GIR on a par 4. It’s been months. And it’s killing me. 

81 at the Quarry today. Easily could have been 77 or better.

Have you played Tannenhauf or Skyland Pines recently?

My mom and brother played Tannenhauf Thursday and they said it was in really good shape. 

I think I'm going to buy a pushcart this weekend as they are back in stock online. Anyone have a model they'd recommend? I'm leaning towards the Sun Mountain Speed Cart GX as I have a Sun Mountain bag that I really like.

I have a The Golf Warehouse 4 wheel one. They’re made by Caddy Tek, who makes good stuff. The TGW branded ones are much cheaper in price and the same quality. 

101 today at Oak Harbor Golf Club. Course was in absolutely brutal shape. But I can’t excuse my equally as brutal play inside 100 yards today. Yips bad. 

Ended the day on a Par 4 that I drove to about 65-70 yards from the green and I bogeyed it. Terrible. 

Driver was on today. But wedge play and chipping was laughable. 

Shot another 50. I cannot hit a GIR on a non-par 3.

2 man coming up Sunday at virtues. even to 4 under is goal. by myself 86 or under I’ll take from tips 

88 the other day. My previous best was a 96. Amazing what can happen when you improve your short game and eliminate the 3 putts (and sometimes 4 lol). Kept my drives mostly straight too - that certainly helps.

sub 90 congrats

The most difficult thing when golfing alone has got to be when you hit a shot and know that it stayed inbounds and you should be able to track it down, and you cannot find it - super frustrating.
