Balboa Park - 18, Golf Course, San Diego.

We couldn't go back to our car as that fire was adjacent to the parking lot. We just went ahead and played golf, a couple of cars got destroyed, but ours was fine. That is my wife in the foreground about to tee off on hole #1, hole 18 green in front of her.

@No Mulligans WOW, glad you survived, and the car.  It seems the firefighters did a great job before it got totally out of hand.

A course marshall about an hour an hour after we tee'd off told us two cars were burned.  From the looks of that video, it doesn't look like it.  However, that lot was pretty full, maybe they moved some cars?

      Tommy Fleetwood is Overrated

      He’s got to be the best player that’s never won a PGA-tournament these days.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 3 (August 13).  4' putting drill;  this is a modified version of the drill from LSW for short putting.   For context, in 2025, my strokes lost putting is more than 2 per round compared to the 15 handicap baseline, just on putts under 10'.  So that's a glaring weakness I think.  Anyway, so I set up 12 markers around a hole like a clockface, all coins, all face up.  I putt from each in turn, if I make it, I flip a heads over (or pick up if it's tails).  This means I have to make 24 putts eventually, ideally quickly.  It took me 38 attempts to do this, although 9 of the 12 coins were picked up either in the first or second go around.   Anyway, the baseline for a "90-golfer" (per Broadie description) is 37 attempts, so that's pretty good, but I'll keep trying to improve.  For anyone thinking about this, the number would be 30 for an average scratch player.   This was done on a real green at a nearby course's practice area.

      Day 18: a little under the weather, so just some mirror work while watching TV.

      Course Ratings and Slope, Difficulty, and Hole Stroke Index

      By iacas · Posted

      That's not the right way to look at it, because you're not going to have a rating of 55 or something for even a 6500-yard par 72. There's a minimum rating (depending on the length), and then +s and -s to that. If a course has a bunch of +s and -s that even out, that doesn't mean the course rating is 100% the length. And what kind of math would it be if the course rating was lower than the formula: 103% length? 🙂
