Hole 1 and 16 really came up to bite ya. I have had these also and it's not fun. Especially getting that extreme high when you birdie or have a drive of your life and then coming out on the next hole with a triple

Yeah...I had one club too many in my hands from the middle of the fairway on 1. Then I had never played hole 16 before in my life (new 9...) and didn't know that there was trouble so close to the 10 yard wide fairway. Ended up taking an unplayable...then three putting. Fun times...

I had a gift certificate for a free foursome with riding carts at Winnetka Golf Club in Winnetka, IL. We headed up there on the 5th to play and when we got there (about an hour drive) we found they were not allowing gas carts because they had so much rain overnight and the course has absolutely no drainage, apparently. We decided to try and hoof it, but between the standing water on the fairways, the heat and the humidity it made for an awfully interesting round to say the least.

I started off 5/10/3/10 before leveling off to my usual 5.5 strokes a hole average.

After playing the front we decided to get a bit to eat in the clubhouse and determine if we wanted to attempt the back.

We just went home instead. Didn't want to die of heat stroke.

Seems to happen to me more than I care for, I seem to play good shot, bad shot golf every now and then. Here is the latest example where I had the most birdies I ever had in a round and follwed most of them with a big number.

Today was definitely one of those roller coaster rounds for me. First 5 holes on the front 9, either had good drives, chipping or putting - of course all 3 weren't allowed to occur on the same hole, which led to some interesting scores of 7, 7, 7, 6, 8...after that I started to settle down had a couple of pars...and then the 9th I couldn't do much of anything right...blew a 20ft birdie put about 15ft past the hole

back 9 though, I had putts for birdie, or par all the way around, and really started to dial in the new driver to the point where on 18 I blew my drive out around 320yds (421yd hole...had ~100yds in)

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously??
