Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

[HeftyHacker]

It's my partners due date today. Had a midwife appointment who suggested "I want you to go on a long walk, have a hot curry and lots of s*x"

I jokingly floated the idea of walking round the local golf course since its next to the hospital and the up and down nature means you're never far from the car.

Partners response "you know, that's not the worst idea ever..."

Anyway. Heres a picture my partner took of me walking down the first

I remember having the same conversation in 2013 with the same 3 options: my wife chose the walk around the golf course and the curry but not the 3rd option.
First and last time I've seen her on a golf course.

Good luck to you and your partner with the new baby!

For the first time in about 18 months, everyone in our semi-regular 4 ball was available at the same time. Happy days.

Getting around the golf course yesterday for the 6th time with the same ball. It’s starting to look a bit tired now though. A Titleist Tour Speed.

Shooting 77 on a par 72 then realising the CR is 74.1 and the slope is 141

You have to admire this chap. It sold.
Got it off his chest, so to speak.



and no, it wasn't me who bought it. Honest - it wasn't.

Maybe an odd one for some, but carrying. The course I play never bans trolleys but I had gone back to carrying over winter while there, just easier, less messy & I feel less wear on the course. The last couple of weeks could have easily pulled out the leccy, course up at full length, oppo was wearing spikeless shoes today - but I've had no inclination to do so. The time will come no doubt, though while the back isn't complaining am just enjoying flinging the bag in the boot and going

An ad hoc solo quick 9 before the rain came in this afternoon. Accompanied by my 7 year old son who had never stepped foot on a golf course before or shown any interest whatsoever. He was tasked with ball spotting, a role that he fulfilled with gusto, marching off the tee with purpose walking to the spot with unerring accuracy, he was delighted to find three golf balls as we searched for an errant drive. His encouragement and astonishment watching his 14hc Dad strike the ball made me feel like a pga pro. He read putts remarkably well explaining what he thought would happen. I took a child’s putter with me and he dealt with anything within gimmie range. On the drive home he pondered the afternoon and asked “when can I go golfing with you again Dad?”

10th consecutive round without losing a ball. A new record for me.
