@BradSomrak are you still wanting to play? Looks like I need to give up my spot. It is my birthday and it seems my family in Ohio want to throw a proper party for me.

I was hoping the tee times were in the AM.

The tee times were known on May 18.

@BradSomrak made other plans when the spots were filled.

We have one open spot guys.

My father passed away Friday, after a four year battle with Alzheimer's dementia.  For a long time, it was an evenly matched struggle between an insidious disease and a strong, elegant man. Unfortunat

Well that was certainly an interesting 11 minutes. They moved it because you told them you had a TST outing, right? 😉

You explained post 52 to them, right? I guess I’ll be drinking your birthday beer then.

Seriously though, have a good time with your family.

If we don't get another committed player by say 8 pm tonight, I will still play. Sorry to cause trouble, but I knew Mr. somrack was waiting and thought I would ask.

I don't know if that's necessary, especially as you're coming from Buffalo. But if you want to play, the spot is open.

My father passed away Friday, after a four year battle with Alzheimer's dementia.  For a long time, it was an evenly matched struggle between an insidious disease and a strong, elegant man. Unfortunately, the final inning turned into a rout, as his body functions shut down one by one.  We transitioned to Hospice care, and the end came peacefully in his sleep.  My efforts turn now to my mother, also a dementia sufferer, as she tries to come to terms with the loss of her companion of 67 years.

Golf has not been on my mind these past few weeks.  I leave in a few minutes for my first practice round in over a month.  I will be accompanied by my usual posse; Clank, Shank, Foozle, Flip, and Chili-dip.  Most of them also plan to travel with me this Sunday to central Ohio.  Yes, I will be there.

You are all encouraged to smile and laugh at the antics of my pals, and my very rusty golf game.  I come not to break par, but for the camaraderie that flows freely at every TST get together.

See you soon.

I'll figure out whether we're going to play any sort of skins game or something like that.

@Divot Master Sorry for your loss. Assuming that is the elegant man standing beside you on the Swilcan Bridge at the Old Course? Good times. Looking forward to playing with you.

@iacas What tees do you think we will play? Wanting to apply some Lowest Score Wins strategies. Although it will all be thrown out the window since I believe this course has some major elevation changes and everything appears flat with Google Maps. 😄

I can't friggin wait. It looks like I'm in a great group. 

@Divot Master Really sorry to hear about what happened. I am glad that you will be hanging out with us. Nothing like seeing me spray a driver all over the state of Ohio to cheer you up though. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Yes, that is him.  We were across the pond for a wedding, and this was my 49th birthday present from him.  35 mph wind and spitting rain, cleared up just in time for me to see my tee shot on 17 bounce off the wall of the hotel.  Never to be forgotten.

Thanks to everyone for their kind words.  Mom and I are both holding up well.

And now lets all get back to the pre-round trash talk.

  • The back (black) tees are 6584.
  • The next (blue) tees are 6081.

I would think most will play black, with a few on the blue.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By GolfLug · Posted

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.

      I have access to far more data (including surveys and polls) than you do with your anecdotes. I mean this as plainly and literally as possible: you’ve demonstrated that you do not. They would, one way or the other.

      Yes, but you don't live in the UK, so you have no idea what we think about it here. It's a very different mindset here, to demonstrate the fact you should consider 9 out of 10 games we play here are Stableford, whereas you you almost solely play medal. Neither is right or wrong, it's just different  I'm trying to avoid swearing here. Once again, and for the 1000th time, I understand the system, I just don't agree with it. Is there anything wrong with that? PS, I do not have the time or patience to post my results, especially as they prove nothing  That's because 99% of the posters are Yanks
