Gloating golfers

[Bazz]

The BBC showed someone's first swing on the news this morning, I would've been shaking like a defecating dog knowing I'd be on tv.

4 hours & 45mins and counting, only 9 holes but it is golf

What was that? The time in the traffic jam to get to the course.

Was it the one you weren't meant to be playing at the time ?

If it were me it definitely wouldn't have been..

I always find the 18th fairway on the 8th tee and vice versa when playing the 18th.

I hope this post ks tongue in cheek because if not thrn Lighten up for god sake. People are allowed to have something to look forward to and enjoy especially with what's going on. Im happy people are pleased with themselves and now have some form of light and outlet.. There's enough misery and negativity as it is right now without being to concerned someone may actually have a reason to smile for a change ?

Of course it was tongue in cheek- maybe I should have put more emojis to show I was joking ????

Wasn't on about you buddy, it was in direct reply to the post by SiLH that I quoted. ??

It was actually a corker of a drive on a tricky driving hole. Messed up the 8 iron , chip and putt though....but by then I wasnt expecting anything else...

Cycled past a couple clubs today, sat and watched a couple groups teeing off on 9 at my old club.

My god I was jealous. On the plus side the standard off tee shots was piss poor

I'm sure he spiked my water bottle with something....

As we were finishing, a Father and Son pairing was starting.
The lad is one of these wannabe pro-types....not quite a Keegan Bradley PSR but on the way to it...
Toes the first drive 45° right into a back garden, carved the 2nd into trees 70 yards from the tee....
Couldn't really laugh because I lost a ball there earlier but it did bring a smile....

He’d have trouble passing a dope test anyway ??

Rules for playing right now have been revised. No more than 3 games in any 7 day period, and rounds to be social matchplay and timed for a max of 1hr 40 per 9 holes.
All 18 holes start at the 1st, and 10th tee starts only available for 9 holes until those doing 18 holes have made the 9th.
All games must be booked with a tee time.
No visitors or guests.
All seems fair enough.

Played 18 today in a two ball. The procedures were easy to follow, if a lttle strange. Three items of note, the bare patches alongside some tees still needing a lot of rain; the greens were very smooth; my game was quite good , ended up two over handicap which I am firmly blaming on a big hook off the 4th tee straight OOB. Hoping to book a couple of more rounds when the BRS opens in 20 minutes.

Partly tongue in cheek...? I am grateful my pastime is golf and i am able to play, but its not all about me and I must remain aware and sensitive of others less fortunate as i get back onto my track doing what i enjoy.

That didn't happen then. Did you hit any of the oar 3's in regulation?

I hit all 3 and made par on one of them. Want to buy a brand new Scotty, only used for 9 holes? ?

I'll get back to you if my milled Odyssey #9 mis-behaves when I play. I have been using the Visio mat and the gates on their narrowest margin (0.5 degrees margin of error) and getting it through so hoping at last we're back and about to enjoy a long and harmonious relationship. Somehow I doubt it as it has history

 

[Deleted member 25172]

8 points and 5 lost balls on the front 9 - and I loved every single second of it. Not a swear word coming out of my mouth. Woke up on the back 9 and had a respectable 17 points, finishing off with a sandy par.

Goodness me it feels good to be back out there again!

 

[Bigfoot]

A great day to be back playing. Some good , some poor but all enjoyed.

Roll on Friday for the next one.

 

[upsidedown]

16.00 tee as had to do some mowing jobs so no expectations , respectable drive down the middle , flushed a 4 iron 185 back into wind to 3 foot and holed the putt for birdie . Needless to say i was laughing like a drain, how B stupid is this game . Ended up with 33 points and Hid had 36 so happy days

 

[bladeplayer]

Oooo it was nice out there
Course was lush, but windy, but nice sunshine

A certain member who has asked to remain nameless out of huge embarrassment amassed the grand total of 6 points in his 9 holes, losing 3 balls and working hard to achieve his 5 blobs ??

Would you like me to gloat some more?

First time I have played the course in summer conditions, greens were slick, drove pretty well, had 4 par putts which slipped by and blobbed the last, but happy with 14 points,
Plenty to work on and plenty to look forward to

Here’s to the next crushing Victory

Duplicate post .... mods mods ?

I'd bet my house on it not being tongue in cheek.
