A Golf Brag w/(BV)

[GoldenIP]

Brag: Finally shot my first 66 (-5/Par 71) on the golf course on Sunday
Beat: included a Triple Bogey (+3)!!!
Beat+: Said Triple Bogey was on a Par 5 I usually Birdie!!!

Historical Life Golf Beat: I had a meh college golf career and was never good enough to go pro.

Present Life Golf Beat: I still am nowhere near good enough to play professionally.

Life Golf Variance: Won't count senior tour golf out in 25 years!

how often do you practice/play?

nice score!!

[GoldenIP]

Not as often as I'd like. once/wk. Like I said in Present Life Golf Beat, I still am no where near good enough to play professionally. Not even close. I don't shoot good enough consistently enough and I definitely don't practice/play enough.

After leaving college, I kinda figured out what makes my swing tick. I'm somewhat lucky that I can turn up and play after weeks without my game deteriorating much. Moreover, there's no pressure anymore like there used to be so I find it easier to shoot better scores these days. My h'cap is two and a reasonable one. I was just running hot with my iron play.

I drive well and putt well. If I miss greens I'm in trouble cause my chipping sucks. I think I only missed 2/3 greens on this occasion and just barely missed them.

Belfair East Course
Bluffton, SC.

6,900/137/73.9

It's a beautiful golf course but I think it plays at least a shot easier than 73.9. It doesn't play particularly long and all par 5s are reachable assuming you've got a 275yd cranked 3-wood in your bag.

P.S. the 10th states over 600yds but:

(1) doesn't play this long
(2) is the hole you're least likely to reach and does require the wind in the right direction
(3) if you take a really tight line and have the balls to carry the water for the second shot, it can be done. This is where I had my triple bog obv.!

If you were to play THE JUICE for money, would you accept backers?

[THE JUICE]

plz lets play ill b in atlantic city all summer, we can play a couple courses in the philly area i used to work at as well

[GoldenIP]

dcasper - i guess i'd accept backers. i'm sure there would only be about $300 in it so it's not a financial no-no to play the juice.

it just astounds me how he thinks it's impossible for a decent player to have a hot round.

unfortunately, i'm from the UK. i was visiting SC as i used to go to an academy there any my ex-gf lives on belfair.

read my poker analogy in BBV4LIFE. I think that sums it all up. It CAN happen. lol.

My dad is a 14 h'capper and he's shot a 75 before. Impossible? Not at all! HE-GOT-IT-GOING one day around his home course. Simple.
