You'll have to be honest with us. We all will want to know one thing. One thing that will determine your ultimate fate in the minds of many here. After playing with you, will Graeme be gaming a chipper next year?

Hell, we'll be lucky if he's still playing golf after a round with me!

Ya think there's a chance we can all roll over there for a drink afterwards?! :-)

I just got a call from GolfNow.  I was their top booker in the Orlando area this past year (it helps to book for a small group of nuts just like us) and they asked me if, as a reward, I'd be available to play in a 4-some with Graeme McDowell next Wed at Lake Nona.....one of the two courses that they play the Tavistock Cup at!

I'm an absolute mess.  I'm not gonna be able to swing a club.......!

Since you won't be able to swing a club, I'd be happy to stand in for you.  It would be a sacrifice but I'd be willing to do it for you.

Enjoy it.  Don't get wrapped up in your game and how you are playing, just enjoy the once in a lifetime moments.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Awesome, congrats David!  Yes please take plenty of pics and maybe even some video and share it on the site.

Absolutely!

They asked if I'd be willing to sign a modeling waiver for pics too.......I guess some may make it into some of their ads.

I think I'm gonna throw up!

Here's what you do - ask Graeme to sign a modeling waiver for you so you can use it on your golf addicts website...

You should constantly tell Graeme about all the water left, how the left side of the fairway is so close to OB, how it seems like a bad angle from down there... :-P

First, congratulations 'cause that is awesome.

Second, you better be practicing every day.  I want to hear you shot a personal best!

Lastly, who rounds out the foursome?

Don't know who the other players are. The impression I got is that there will be 4 of us "top bookers" playing with GMAC.... Whoever they are, I hope they keep moving! We're playing early afternoon and it gets pretty dark around 5:30. It's gonna be ugly if we can't finish because some SOB can't drag his sorry ass around the course in less than 5 hours....

All I have to say is you are in my doghouse if you don't post a pic........LOL   Cheeet..it's dark by 5pm here in KC!!  Not that it matters here, because the high temp over the last couple days is around 20degrees.  No golf weather....LOL

I'll be bowling tomorrow fer'sure......LOL    My Buckeye-pre game will be  bowling for about 4 hours tomorrow afternoon with my son...........LOL

Go Bucks!   I'm worried about the game.....MSU was the team that spoiled a Buckeye National Championship circa 1996'ish.  The buckeyes were #1 and killed everyone they played, but MSU beat them to spoil the season.

Just looked at the Lake Nona website, just getting a chance to play there would be a treat for me but to play with Graeme as well, all kidding aside I just can't hardly conceive it.

You are one lucky guy! Congratulations.

Yep! I played Lake Nona a couple of years ago with a buddy who won a 4-some at a charity auction. Great course, and harder than hell to get on, but the real kicker is playing with GMAC. I've never played with a tour pro before, let alone a U.S. Open champion. That's probably a once in a lifetime kinda thing.....! :-)

Unless you play with @Kelzzy , as he is a future US Open champ and all. ;-)

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
