I was playing by myself, so unofficial round and I won't go into all the details, but first four holes need mentioning as one of those "can this really happen in golf." #1: Over top tee shot, some how rolls down the fairway, stops 100 yards from the pin. Thin wedge catches back of green. U...

Wow! I must admit I did something like that once where I literally walked 100 yards from the green to yell at a guy in the fairway. In my defense, the guy twice hit a ball over my head while I was on the green. More importantly, I had my two boys with me (they were quite young at the time) and the b...

Sorry to hear Doug. Our bodies definitely weaken as we age. Are you sure it isn't your back? I've found back issues can manifest themselves in odd ways.

Started today with five pars. Not a single bad shot although one 7i drifted far enough right that I wasn't on the green, but I was close enough to use my putter. Par 5 #6 hit a good tee shot but then pull a hybrid left towards a tree. Now I have 150 to the green, but I'm blocked directly ahead by th...

Real grumble today - I'm a big believer in leaving the flagstick in. I truly believe that it helps more often than it hurts and it's a higher percentage play than taking the flag out. Today on the par 3 #8, I had about 40 feet for birdie. My putt tracked perfectly towards the hole, when one of my bu...

Never seen this before and since it was on the first tee, I was thinking that there were a lot of birdies out there. sadly not.

Early candidate for May: IMG_1303.jpeg The 6th hole at our Crooked Oak course is a par 5 with a long skinny green. This picture doesn’t do it justice. There’s a front level of the green, then a hump up and down to a second level, then another hump up and down to a third level with a sharp drop to th...

Not sure what to think of yesterday - 80/8.5 - decent, but really awful for first eight holes. +8 through 8 with a DB and TB, although the TB was set up by an approach that seemed really good until it ended up in an awful lie long. Go figure. From there I was strangely good, even through the last 10...

After posting my personal best just six days ago, I’ve played some pretty horrendous golf since. Off the cliff. Haven’t hit a single satisfactory shot over last three rounds. Just when I had it going on over last three weeks. Damn I hate this game. I say this to ward off your jinx. I had three of m...

Mixed results for the weekend. Friday's practice 9 turned into a legitimate 9 when a buddy joined - didn't really play that badly, but hit a few total stinkers to 42/+6. Saturday finally had a round where I hit the ball really well. Only problem is scoring didn't come with it. 80/+8 really felt like...
