We all started that way. Well not all because some of us wouldn't dare stepping out on the course until after years of driving range.

Wow. Thats just horrible haha. Well, some people just aren't meant to hit a golf ball. I say that if you can hit it more than 50 yards on your first time out on the course, you can learn to play golf. Any less than that, and its really decided for you. That might be a little profiling I'm sorry but it's kind of a fair assessment.

It can be tough when you get paired with someone like that but hey, at least he's out there trying rather then sitting on the couch at home. As long as he's having fun out there then more power to him IMO. We all started somewhere. Then again, when his came starts to infringe on yours because you have to help him find his ball that does suck.

You got me

I think at some point we've all been embarrassed to show off our game in public. While he was hacking his ball all over the shop did you give the poor guy any tips? And did he at least have one decent hit that'll keep him coming back for more? I feel his pain.

ouch. i've had bad days before, but nothing as bad as that sounds. How was his on course demeanor? Was he beating himself up? Was he even trying to play? Was he really looking for his ball or just leaning on you all to do so?

well, you got to start somewhere, i guess. 80 handicap is pretty rough though. I might be a little off or selfish for saying this, but the 'true' hack golfers (and I'm talking about the guys/gals that know they are) should probably hit the course late in the afternoon on the local munie. When they have a 11:00 tee time and they're slowing down the pace of play for the entire course, it's a little selfish of them in my opinion.

I doubt you played the worst guy. I played a guy who would have shot at least 250 if he had followed the rules.

Odd thing is he holed out at the end of every hole. He'd putt to two inches and as I'd be going to put the flag in the hole he'd putt out and reach in. I nearly stabbed his hand two or three times.

There was a gir who turned in a 157 for a HS meet last year. For 9 holes.


On a related note, I called my buddy to meet me at the range after work. The GF was there and just haaaad to come (she doesn't let us do anything, she has to come along and make things un-fun. We have to sneak off to golf and bowling a lot). Anyways, she wanted him to teach her to golf and it was 4 times worse than Sir Charles. She had a good looking pivot/finish. Except that was her backswing and the downswing was about 4" deep in the rain soaked earth. I've never seen anyone move their entire body like that while swinging a club. And the kicker is shes not even a nice thing to look at...
She eventually went and sat in the car for 2 hours.

I always see the same guy at the range with an axe chopping like swing. It is as though he is taking a vertical swipe at a log. He only uses his driver and every shot is 25 yards out and 75 yards right.

I feel bad but I'm not about to just go give him advice..

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

      The Pro Tours Random Thoughts and Musings Thread

      Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course.
