where to start
im still in shock ..i played 18 today and couldnt find anyone to play with
so i grabbed the 2 girls (age 5 and 12) and headed out
a little back ground ...we got the girls 1 year and 9 months ago
they are my wifes cousins ..long story short ..they have had a bad life
never been out to eat or even had a birthday party or even been to the movies... ect...

so i was tryin to explain golf to them as i played ... i reckon it was just a relaxin round w/ them but after the first 5 holes i knew i had a gr8 round going ... bogey,bogey,bogey,par,birdie...

my back ground ..i just started breakin 100 consistently about 2 weeks or so ago... 94 being my lowest ever

so i keep going and talikin to them ... and go par then a 7 ( have to explain to the 5 year old about yellin during a person back swing LOL) hit a tree tryin to get out ect..
then go bogey then birdie the 9th ( didnt add at the turn)

then on the back go bogey,bogey, double bogey ( remind her about yellin during back swing LOL) then par,bogey,bogey,par,bogey then par 18
and had the 12 year old add up the score ...
she said 40 on the front ... and 42 on the back ... i said u must of missed
a hole or 2 on each side and i took the card and added myself
and WOW she was right ... I SHOT AN 82 OMG im sitll in shock
12 strokes better than my best

sorry for the long story ..... im just excited !!!!!

Okay, I know I'm supposed to congratulate you for the 82 (btw, congrats!), but I'm gonna actually give you mad congratulations for the 5 and 12 year olds. You should be most proud of giving them a home and a family, and caring enough to take them with you today.

You rock dude.

Yeah, you have a lot of guts not only caring for the kids, but also taking them on the golf course, haha.

Nice round man, it's these type of days that keep us from quitting.

Nice 82 that is a MONSTER score for someone just breaking 100 its freaking not even CLOSE too bad you werent betting a friend you would have smoked ANYONE shooting that low to your handicap.. I just added it this was a par 70 right?? Not that 82 isnt amazing... Im hoping to get there someday..

My mom actually took in 2 of her neices as well... I think of them as my sisters now, I'm sure glad my mom took them in... and plus they always got some SWEET foster child christmas gifts every year. Nice work.

Congratulations on that nice round.

I hope you learned a couple things from your story. I did.
  • You weren't wrapped up in yourself.
  • You weren't pressured - it's only the kids.
  • The triple or whatever just sort of happened and you played the next hole.
  • You didn't know what your score was and you didn't seem to care.
Keep it up and I admire you for taking those girls into your home.

Mister Longshanks, I was able to do that without quoting his entire freaking story.

Best, Mike Elzey

lol a lot of people are addicted to the quote button, even when it was the previous post. :D

It makes viewing posts on a mobile phone a PAIN... something you just have to get used to...

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
