Had the long overdue opportunity to get together with @Vinsk and @billchao today for a round of golf and a couple of beers at my club.  We even managed to gang up on 2 of my other buddies and take a couple of dollars from them.  A good time was had by all!  

Pace of play?  I’m glad you asked.  Although we all hit the ball a LOT of times, 5 of us cruised around in 3:35, even though we got caught behind a slow foursome and waited on every shot for 3 holes before we got past them at the turn.  :-)

What was the shank count, @Vinsk? 🙂

And… is that the best photo you've got of the three of you? Indoors?

Two rounds...one shank. So that’s a good thing. We were a fivesome and played well under 4 hours ...didn’t take time to take pics....we should’ve.

Sadly, that’s the only pic.  What were we thinking?!

Yep.   Got to see a hozel rocket on one of his very first swings.  😱   Fortunately, things settled down quickly after that!

At one point we did suggest we should have live streamed our match, when @Vinsk blew a lag putt 15' past the hole and then holed the comebacker for par 🤣

There was beer involved. Lucky we thought to get the one picture in.

After numerous spectacular shots by@billchao from treacherous lies and positions we’ve deemed him the ‘ hold my beer...watch this’ guy.

Yea I'm pretty good at hitting shots out of trouble. I'd like to tell you there's a cool Seve Ballesteros type of story to explain it, but the reality is I just have a lot of experience hitting into stupid spots on the course.

I didn't hit any drives today onto adjacent fairways. That's a successful day in my book.
