Title: Golfer...you still around?
Post by: Curval on January 24, 2013, 03:24:14 PM
Or any golf pros....

Just curious if you have ever played in a ProAm, in particular the tournaments that take place right before the Tavistock Cup.

I have a few questions.  I will be playing in this years pre Tavistock rounds.  Never done anything like this before and want to know what to expect.

Thanks.

You can expect green grass and these little holes you put your balls into.

 well....there's this tiny white ball. you hit it. hopefully into the hole that's usually some ridiculous distance away. then you go chase that ball, and hit it some more. and more.
 hhmm.....come to think of it, what did that poor little ball ever do to you??  :noid :bolt:

Are you suggesting Golfer is a pro? Golfer is a Bro, I miss him too!
I hope he's making lots of money and keeping us 'out of mind'.

Your missed Bud!

I was in a golf cart that my girlfriend at the time drove off a 10-15 foot cliff onto a road.  Broke the axle on it and the back of my legs were black, blue, purple, green and yellow from bruising from my backside down to the back of my knees for about a month.  the skin split on the right side badly from a pinching wound.  We were lucky that she paniced and went over at full speed, if we had rolled I would not be writing this.

I am a very nervous cart rider to this day now.  :)

That's why most of us won't let a girl drive.

Stang's a good cat, golf pro at my dad's CC, also I think and I'm bad with names, but RedTop or something in TX, I think he did some tourneys. Golfed with him at the con years ago.

I have but that was over 10 years ago and not a big event by anyone's standards.

There are some real players on here (with + handicaps and current/former touring professionals...I'm not one) The closest I ever got was the PAT and was so excited about that I stuck my foot in my mouth one day in the wrong company.  Oops.

Nowadays playing 2 dozen rounds a year I just don't want to see 80+ on the card.

Glad you found what you were looking for. Have fun!  Pay attention to what's going on around you and bring your best etiquette as far as on the course goes. Act like you're always being recorded since you probably are. ;)

Above all have fun. Did I mention have fun?

Can I pee on the tees?

Been spending lots of quality time with physical therapy over the last six months so I'm looking forward to giving golf another go in spring.  Thanks for the pleasure of your company.  It was greatly appreciated.

Again?  It took like a month for the grass to grow back last time.  Your "penmanship" was excellent.  LOL
