So, What is your ideal day? Let's start with a few questions:

1) What would you score?
2) How far would you shoot?
3) What would the weather be like?
4) What kind of shots would you hit?

This would be mine:

I'd hit about a 85 or 83, regularily hitting 200+ yards on drives. I would be a warm day, but with an overcast. (I don't like playing in full sunlight). I would hit great rough shots with great accuracy.

Hopefully I'll make this happen soon.

Mine would be:

- 20-25 Degrees C
- 76-78
- Sticking wedges all day...

Ending the round at a cottage with a ton of people drinking beer and doing really fun stuff. (just like the beer commercials)

So, What is your ideal day? Let's start with a few questions:

- 63 (or Jessica Alba - win win)

- same as always - scattered showers and gusty on the front nine - warming up as the round continues - every club in the bag - good course management - long irons off the tee a few times, a lot of 3/4 knockdowns into sucker pins Some people count sheep to fall asleep. I shoot under par at The Canal.

Well, ideally I'd like to shoot an 18 if I could, but realistically:

- Even par. Maybe not terribly realistic, but more so than an 18.
- Wouldn't be too concerned with how far, same as always like Sean said.
- An on and off drizzle would be nice. It softens the greens and keeps the course from getting backed up. Slightly overcast, too, and a light breeze would be nice.
- I would like to hit the shots that I visualize. If I want to play a 5 yard fade, then I'd like to see that. If I want to hit a low 20 yard hook that goes under a tree limb and rolls up to the green, that's the shot I'd like to see come off the club (I'm not sure why I'd have to do that on my ideal day though).

Jeez, guys, thought the question asked about your ideal day, and here you are shooting your realistic 81s and 86s in the rain.

Heck with that. I'm firing a 59 in 70-degree, sunny, dry weather. Bombing it 300 on command. And generally making the ball my bi-otch with an array of fades, draws, punch shots, lofted long irons and bump-and-runs. Of course, every putt is tracking like an ICBM.

Did I mention this was happening at Pebble Beach? With Kate Beckinsale toting the bag, providing yardages to the inch and whispering words of encouragement as I march toward U.S. Open history?

Cheers,
Sean

Since I am no more likely to see Kate Beckinsale in my bedroom as I am to see her carrying my golf bag, I assure you that my ideal day has her wearing significantly less than a caddie's outfit. (okay, maybe just the smock)

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

I would shoot under par without making a boogie. If I shoot under par, weather or anything else would not matter too much.

I'd shoot the course record on the final day of the club championship in 75* light breeze conditions, shooting at pins like they darts on a saturday night...infront of a gallery of beautiful, heavenly bodied women following me through the day, getting aroused at my amazing control of a little white ball as it does aerobatics around doglegs, over traps and over water hazards. *Pinches himself*...yea, somethin like that hahahahaha

A 65 degree weekend in July where everything clicks and I dominate everybody en route to the Club Championship. Gross scores don't matter... so I'd like to shoot net scores of 65-65 = 130.

It can happen... I just need a LOT of practice before then.

Let's see... 68 degrees and sunny (for some reason, I putt better when the sun's out)... Seaside course, don't really care which or where... For some reason, on this particular day I have complete command over the golf ball, kind of like the priest in "Caddyshack," before he gets whacked by lightning... No lightning for me, though.

Final score: 66, because I like the symmetry.

Cheers,

Competitive golf is played mainly on a five-and-a-half-inch course... the space between your ears.

      Playing With Irons

      By iacas ·

      Playing irons only may lead to some short-term gains, but you'll want to at least practice with the driver if you ultimately have some decently good goals.

      This Guy Is Blatantly Sandbagging!

      By imsys0042 ·

      He plays from 68.3 / 124.  A combo tee setup of normal mens and seniors.   I play from 69.7/127.   He left after taking a triple on 14 and then leaving.  Which plays to what I think his plan is,   He doesn’t stroke on 14 but would have to take bogey for non completed holes on the way in.   Maybe that’s giving him too much credit, but he found a way to add 4 shots to his score over three holes so….     I looked up his last 20 rounds in GHIN and he has a lot of rounds at easier courses (rating and slope) that are higher than his normal rounds at home.   Since I mostly have his front nine score during the match (36) to go on, he has three nine hole scores at our course posted that are 41-43. I wrote the whole thing up to the head of our golf association who runs all the tournaments.  Our pro is not involved officially in the tournaments because the golf associations are separate from the club.   He’s pretty well known for this, however I was pretty shocked at how well he played carrying a 15.   I think eventually they will do something, a lot of people have complained.  The golf association threw someone out a couple of years ago and it was a three month situation where the guy retaliated.  They probably are hesitant to go thru anything like that again.  That is a rather crazy story I might post about later.
