Hello all had a chance to go golfing on Friday just gone, Which i do kinda like golf so..
I had 2 choices dont go golfing or having to stay at the golf course most of the day when my friend drops me off
I got a lift there and he couldn't pick me back up until later on much later on.

So of course i went golfing, the first 18 hole i joined up with these 2 other guys, one of them was a fantastic player he put how far i could drive the ball to shame, but i kept up with him with the score he only did 3 shots better then me so i was very impressed with my first 18.

Next round my driving was much better and played a fantastic round alone,

After my 2nd 18 realized my friend still was 1 hr 30 minutes away from picking me up so i played another 9 holes but i do admit i was so tired i started to hit a few lazy shots.

45 holes in a row is far the most Ive ever played in a row, What about you?

As a junior in the mid '70's I'd often play at least 54 holes in a day + practicing. However, as an adult, first round of a club matchplay - sorry but I beat you by one hole, 46. Level after 18, then onwards till one of us won a hole. On the final hole I put my bag on the clubhouse side of the green even though the next tee was in the other direction - I'd had enough. I bagged a huge putt for a win. Sadly I went out in the next round, after 21 holes...

36 for me, temperature varying from 35 to 50 C throughout the day, we played as pairs, can't remember the exact formats.

Got to 27 and I was in pieces, necked 2 litres of water and just struggled through to the end.

My scoring deteriorated at the same rate I did. I was even worse at golf then, easily took 215-220 shots - Outrageous.

Got in that evening, my manhood had shrivlled and my balls shrunk to peas - shivering with cold, completely dehydrated.

I'd play 36 again now, no danger. But not in that weather, and not as a 4 ball.
