That's 'cause I just "coined" it.

I got paid $1.50 to join the LIV Tour.  Applied that toward my boat loan.

They told me I needed a co-signer.

82 / +10. It was a relatively easy course.

I just got a new B.O.A.T.

BEST SHOT:  So, the only thing I had working all day was my DRIVER.  So, when I arrive at the twelfth tee box, I'm feeling pretty confident...  However, I've lost a few balls (sliced drives) to the lateral water hazard.  No worries, I've been nailing it.  Then standing on the tee, I decide to go straight at it (shortcut).  To be successful, however, I don't just need a good drive... I need my BEST drive... and I GET IT. 

 

Best shot of the day.  Anxiously holding my breath until I saw it bounce on the far fairway...  I practically skipped out of the tee box.

78 / +8

And why not a yacht, rather than a boat

70 even par. Oh, and speaking of BOATS how did this shot not go in? Par 3, 142 yards easy 7i.

Lay a straight edge down and it crosses the hole.

Wow... just wow.  Bounced over with back spin?

There was a slight left to right slope, the ball had a hunk of mud on it, and the shot had a draw to it. I think it rolled left of the pin and then back down and around the hole.

I can see that.  Lucky and unlucky on the same shot.  #GolfIsHard

Best Of All Time? +14/86.

The 18th hole had been a nemesis most of the year. I'd been hitting my driver well all day so I went with grip it and rip it. Alas it didn't turn out so well. I hit my tee shot off the heel and watched it only tumble 134 yds just off the fairway to what looked like under a tree in a bad spot. Turned out not so bad. The shot that saved the round? The approach shot on the 18th. It was a bit breezy. I was 180 yds out. My 7W was normally 190. I had a sidehill lie in the rough just off the fairway but the ball was sitting up in the grass like it was on a low tee. Great lie. I decided to play a stinger out to the right over the bunker where it should naturally draw back onto the green. I made good contact, the ball took off low into the breeze heading straight for the bunker, and then at the last second curved over it and landed on the green bounced once and stopped. I waved to the fans as I approached the green. 😆 34 feet from the hole. I can't complain. At my HC I'm lucky to hit the green from that distance. Lagged to to 2 feet and tapped in for par.

I shot a (+5) 76 at Coldwater Golf Links in Ames, Iowa two times in July of 2008 from the Blue Tees. That's my personal best both in terms of score vs par and in terms of low score.
