I played with several talented golfers over the years. I played with seveal who shot under and had the complete game.

I also played with some long hitters who just bomb their drivers.

Who was the best golfer you played with? Thanks for your replies in advance.

A guy I worked with played collegiate golf at VA Tech. We played together at Firestone during a customer outing. What impressed most about the VA Tech grad was that every shot he hit was STRAIGHT! No fade, no draw. Pushed a drive or two, but never into any trouble.

Iron shots looked like they were shot from mortar launcher at a 45* angle. They landed softly on greens. He also barely lined up a putt, but never missed one by more than a couple of feet.

He didn't make a lot of birdies, just a very solid ball striker who knew how to get around a course unscathed. He shot less than 75 but not a sub-par round. He also said that the course was pretty 'easy' (North Course at Firestone CC) compared to what was across the street, meaning the South Course where they play the Bridgestone/Firestone Tournament.

Scary good player!

What was his name?

I sooooo saw that coming. I almost wrote a third sentence that said "I miss her ." Next time, I'll trust my instincts! Man, she was good though. Whenever we played, I wanted to just look at the other people (usually guys) we'd been paired with and say "That's right, she's with me." Now all the women I play with aren't as good as me. It's just not the same. Am I the only guy who actually likes playing with an attractive women who is better than me?

I played with a caddie from East Lake (site of the Fedex cup final round), and he was by far the best person I had ever played with. He could hit any type of shot on demand and it would be accurate. It was very impressive.

Mostly play with hacks, but I play pretty regularly with a guy who is going the Club Pro route and he is usually around par consistenly. He amazes me at times with the shots he can pull off.

    • Day 133 - Played 9 again. Driver was great, putting was better, but shots inside 100 were awful. 
    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date.
