Good luck!

 

Luck has nothing to do with it, I'm hiding his damn 7-wood this year!  :-D

in addition to our annual match, we're looking forward to playing together at least a couple of times.  Frank and the guys have also been kind enough to invite me to play with them at Bay Hill on Wednesday.  It's gonna be a fun couple of weeks!

Bay Hill was great. The course was in excellent shape and I did manage to shoot a 102, not bad for a 26 handicapper. After lunch we  went to the lockerroom for a quick shower and we ran in to Mr Arnold Palmer, who kindly took the time for a photograph. Sorry David, guess you left just a bit too soon. He had some useful tips for our saturday match against the USA, so that one is in the bag :-)

Are you kidding me?!  Aaaaarrrgghhhh!  :doh:

Had a GREAT time, and loved the course.  Thanks to my Dutch buddies for the invite!  I don't believe that I missed Arnie though!

The match against @David in FL and his team was played almost a month ago. Congrets to them on a 11-3 win (3 halved, 4 wins).

David and I played singles against each other and David had a clean win (3&2).  Next year we will choose the course to play the match and even the score.

We all had a great time, and were lucky enough to play a few more rounds together as well.

 

It's hard to believe that it's 3 years running now that we've been getting together.  We're all looking forward to next year already!

It's that time of year again!  :dance:

@MacDutch, @canth, @ron273, and the rest of the Dutchies and coming to town this week.  As in the last 3 years, we'll be having a U.S. vs Dutchie Ryder Cup type competition....I don't know, we may have to come up with a catchy name for it, the Orlando Cup or some such thing.  It's hard to believe, but this will be our 4th year now! 

This year we're playing next Saturday, the 15th at my club.  Bring your water-wings boys, there's agua on 16 of 18 holes.  we have 8 members per team and will be playing 27 holes. 9 holes each of 4-somes, 4-ball, and individual match play.  @CarlSpackler will be joining us this year as another American TST member.

Pics and updates as they occur, but for now, let the games (and trash talk) begin!  ;-)

Landed yesterday, and the team is getting ready. Today we will play Royal st Cloud and afterwards head to Golfsmith.

Does Golfsmith open early, or stay late for you guys?  I bet they mark this week on their calendar every year!  :-D

Another great match and a fun day this past Saturday.  The 3 different formats worked out well, and everyone enjoyed the change of pace.  Due to two players who unfortunately had to leave earlier than expected, we played to something of a draw, so everybody was happy, but at the same time nobody was happy!

I'm also forced to admit, that although @Carl Spackler and I won both of our team matches, in singles, @MacDutch beat me like a rented mule!  Not the first time that has happened either... :8)  

We adjourned to a nearby sports bar afterwards and had dinner, and not a few beers.  Warning...the Dutch are a large people and can drink like they mean it when they put their minds to it.  Attempt to keep up at your own peril!

All in all a great day, and we're hoping that a few of us will be able to get together for another more casual round or two this week and are already thinking about next year.  

Proost onze Nederlandse vrienden!  :beer:

This was a total blast! I'm glad that I was able to pull out the singles match even though my swing was completely gone. I blame the vodka. ;-) I have to admit that I was in significant pain yesterday. It's been a while since I have played 27 in a day.

Thank you so much for inviting me @David in FL. I hope everyone gets a chance to compete in this format. Lots of fun. It was great meeting @MacDutch! Always great to hook up with other Trappers.

We had a lot of fun too. Still an other week to play the Florida courses and go to Golfsmith a couple of times. So no time to post on TST. :-D

I thought @David in FL was kidding about Golfsmith. Clearly he wasn't. ;-)

    • You all are right, its not that big of an issue, I'll leave it alone, especially after looking at that picture of Tigers beat up putter. But I also noticed the small circle worn on the sweet-spot where he hits it every time, I definitely don't have one of those. Thanks for the replies   
    • Committing to one brand of ball this year - Snell MTB Prime X, the 5 doz. pack. Like how they perform for me. At $18/doz., can live with cover scuffing. Iron regripping with GolfPrice MCC+4 Teams std. in red/navy. May be retiring Odyssey Dual Force after 30 yrs. Seems like I can't get it to the hole anymore. Kind of light and has lots of toe hang. My reg. group's hounding finally wore me down.    From Callaway preowned - trying out the Odyssey Tri-Hot 5K in double wide (less toe hang) and triple wide (face balanced). Both also noticeably heavier...we shall see.  
    • WOW, it looks like he has been hitting stones with that putter to put all of those nicks into it.  I can't see how a ball would cause many those dings.
    • I'm fighting a knee as well as a foot so I "Feel your pain".  Luckily for me the PT is helping at this time and I am hoping knee surgery is not imminent.  Best of luck to you.
