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. B-)

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. :-$

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.

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. 

Coldwater Golf Links

Coldwater Golf Links is a public golf course and driving range in Ames Iowa. We host golf outings, provide lessons, and 18 holes of links-style golf.

 

 

BTW - I also made my first hole in one on Coldwater Golf Links hole number 5 on July 2, 2008. 185 yard, 6-iron.

      True, true. I should do that. He really did go off during that run, I remember now. Appreciate the context.

      2025 NFL Draft

      I am pretty sure it is this. Word probably got around. The reports coming out now is that he bombed some interviews, and when pressed about it during the interview just basically had a horrible response. His attitude is crap. There are stories about him throwing his players under the bus at Colorado. I get it, he's not playing behind the best O-Line or have the best weapons (outside of Travis Hunter). That is bad leadership, bad attitude.  Also, it could be his dad as well. Who would want Prime Time chattering.  Go watch the playoff run. Four top 10 teams. He was elite. The Penn State game happened with our starting left guard shifting to left tackle and going up against the 3rd pick in the NFL draft. He had two big mistakes early. The pick, which looked to be a defensive play call to trap that RPO quick out, and then the fumble off his knee. He won the game besides that.

      2025 NFL Draft

      Yea I admit too I had more of a 2nd round evaluation on him, where I wrote in my notes "Maybe Geno Smith" after watching a couple games. Too many screens, too many sacks, awkward throwing motion at times, low velocity at times. Too low. At other times though I thought he made some nice throws, hence why I thought he should've probably gone around round two. So to me the free fall is surprising to an extent, but of course, it all makes sense now that he's still sitting there. He probably bombed his interviews too, and I know almost nothing of his personality. I love sports betting, hence why I love following this stuff, but there's only so much I can know from the outside looking in. But yea, my 2nd round guess was smart to an extent, but also bad now that he's still on the board and it's pick 4.17 at the moment. I see. Thanks for the take, I know you watch every game of theirs.  I just watched some of the Penn State game and can see both the upside and why he's still available. But I can get on board as well that Howard has more upside than Sanders too. Tougher competition, showed some growth from K-State to Ohio State.  I guess the question marks with Howard are processing and accuracy. Yea especially for us as fans. We don't get to interview these guys or talk to their college coaches to get a better idea of what they'll be like to work with everyday. We don't know who will end up being more durable and whose body will just naturally break down over the next few years. Some guys are great talents who go to terrible situations too, who are poor system fits in failed regimes. Other guys hit the jackpot with the perfect role on a great team in a weak division. There are so many variables.
