Title: I shot a 66 yesterday!
Post by: Tec on April 14, 2011, 07:32:09 AM
The first 9 holes of the season are always the worst....

It is much more satisfying to be a bad player at golf.  The worse you play, the better you remember the occasional good shot.   :cheers:

Isn't that a pic of the kid (21) that was 12 under at the Masters final round?
The one that choked under the pressure,lol.

A golf course is a willful and deliberate misuse of a perfectly good rifle range!

Agreed, I did hit some shots I was really pleased with the problem was I couldn't string any of them together lol.  We were rushed to tee off and the course was in crap condition which didn't help at all either.  Oh well, off to the driving range this evening for some practice.

 I used to play the odd round of golf but these days it's tough for me to find a partner to golf with.


  Seems I have difficulty holding on to the clubs and they tend to fly out of my hands and well it's not a pretty sight!





    :salute

But if you bring enough with you for 18 holes then you never have an excuse to flirt with the cart girls!

Thanks to Kevin Na for making me feel better about my game.  What a good sport, it was awesome they had him miked up for that.

It was pretty great. He handled it really well too, was waiting for a rule #6 from him.

Shows how good these guys are also, a 16 on a par 4 and he still almost broke 80.

Even here in WI I've been out 2 times so far, Sunday will be the third. Shot OK first round... second, no carts available and had to walk a brutal hilly course. I know I'm out of shape, but I felt like I was going to die by the end lol. Shot terrible because I was too tired.

The weather here has been so crappy that I haven't even made it to the range, but it was finally gorgeous out all day yesterday.  Made a Tee time for 5:07 and of course by about 4:30 the the clouds roll in and it gets pretty windy.  Played a course that I play a lot, but played the back 9 for only the second time.  My chipping killed me once again, need to really spend some time on it.  The upshot was that it was probably my best round ever for putting, I think I three putted one hole, and the others were two or one.  Managed two pars on a 3 and 5 and ended up taking a 51.  Goal for next round is 46.

Anyone looking for a barely used set of clubs, a really good Nike prop up bag and some barely used...(three or four times maybe) Nike golf shoes in a size 12 drop me a PM. I will make you a really good deal on the stuff.

Good lord!! This thread cursed me I know it. I shot a 66 too for 9 holes!!! Worst round I ever had since starting the game at 14. Oh that included mulligans, a priest's forgiveness, and many assumptions.

As far as I know Golf is the only game where you get a gimme!

My brother, a golf nut, called me a few years back to tell me he shot a 67 on some course he plays. Not knowing anything about golf i asked is that good? GOOD he screams on the phone, most guys would give their left nut to shoot a 67!!

Well good for you I said and glad you still have both nuts.

Yep, that would be Rory McIlroy.



I love golf.  The closest I've come to shooting a 66 is 69....and that's on 18  :neener:  I played on the high school team and hopefully next year I'll be playing for our college team (I didn't want to play my freshman year)

My philosophy is the worse you are at golf, the more fun you have.  It doesn't bother you as much when you hit a bad shot!
