i landed the ball on 2nd shot in a ditch-like path filled with lava rocks going across the fairway from one side to the other. i had no shot. so here i go to drop the ball behind the obstacle instead of in front. the width of the ditch/ rocks was only like 5-8 feet with no water. so i drop about 5 feet back, i line up and take my shot thinking no problem to clear. ball hits rock, deflects back to my mouth, rips my right lower lip and breaks my front top right tooth in half. i now have a porcelain tooth replacement.

On a 134 downhill par 3 at my home course, there is a tree where the limbs block the view and the shot into the left side of the green. My threesome teed off on this hole and I saw the weirdest thing!

One of my playing partners hit to the left pin location and stepped to the right to see his ball location. He kept stepping over then after the ball missed to the left he headed to the cart. Just a couple steps later, he looks down. To our surprise the tee marker was impaled in his leg just above the ankle between his two lower leg bones (tibia and fibia maybe?). The 4-6" inch spike had completely punctured his leg. Apparently, his stepped on the tee marker watching his shot and some how it rolled up as his klutzy butt tripped, and buried itself to the hilt in his leg. My other partner removed his Haynes tee from underneath his polo shirt and we made a makeshift bandage. Dude finished the round and played no worse than usual. Well, he plays pretty poorly anyway.

DynamicDave your accident needs to be in a Adam Sandler movie. Nothing like that, one of the first times I was out golfing a couple of years ago these guys pull up and want us to play through. Being the young, eager idiot I was then I tried to destroy my 2nd shot from the fairway with my three wood - at that time the green was about 30 yards outside of my range but hey - they didn't know that.

Anyway, I slice it pretty quickly, it hits the trunk of a tree and literally bounces back inbetween my feet. I couldn't do it again if I tried a million times.

I snapped my Taylor Made Burner driver once by accident with my pitching wedge... don't ask please lol

Things I Am Good at in Golf

- Hitting it in the drink
- Finding the rough with my drive
- Staying in the bunker- Hitting grassburners all the way to the hole- Three putting- Posting over par on 18 in only 9 holes- Swinging and missing with an iron

Played 8 rounds in 4 days with a pair of golf shoes that were one size too small. By the 7th round I could barely walk, had blisters and callouses pretty much on every toe and all up and down the sides of my feet. Possibly the most pain I've been in starting that 7th round.

    • Have a 19° (moved to 20.5°) Titleist 915H. I just love the club. Beautiful feel off the sweetspot, high launch, soft landing. Versatile. In the future, with less overall speed I will replace my 4 and 5 irons with another hybrid, something around 26°. 
    • Broke the head of a Stealth Plus on a warm up. TaylorMade send me a new head but I decided to upgrade it to the new IQ10 LS and pay the difference. While I was waiting for the 8° head to arrive at the store I messed around with all the multi brand putts they had available. I instantly liked a black TaylorMade Spider, not the new one but very similar. The weight felt perfect. Big line in the middle for easy alignment. I was playing and old Zebra so the change in technology and feel was huge. Fast review of both clubs.. Driver QI10 LS. I always hit to ball up in the sky. I was playing the stealth at 7° with a 60g X low flight shaft and I was still hitting it pretty high. With the QI10 playing it at 6° now is almost hard for me to hit it high, with the same shaft the ball comes out lower and with less spin. so I'm really happy with the change. Putter Spider. I love it. It took me an afternoon to figure out how to grip it (it comes with a superStroke grip) but after that it all came into place. More stable on short putts and a good weight to swing smoothly on long putts and with added forgiveness over my old zebra.  
    • I have a 2h but we don’t get along anymore. It’s a bit of an abusive relationship - she gives me just enough hope once in a while that things are going to be better and then it’s back to the same old shit. I went to a PING fitting recently with the intention to replace the hybrid with a 5w or something, thinking maybe I’ll be better with a fairway wood than a hybrid. But it turns out the best club I hit that fits in that slot in the bag is another hybrid so I ordered it.
    • Day 547, May 2, 2024 18 holes with @DrizZzY using my TruStick®. Hit a LOT of really good shots today.
    • Not the last thing I bought or bought anything at all but Sun Day Red stuff seems a bit overpriced for it essentially being rebranded Nike apparel. I'm hearing the resale prices are wild though. Either way, I highly doubt I will indulge as I'm not much of a brand guy or a collector. But to keep up my super nice guy image have never turned down a gift though 😇 Tiger doesn't seem to sell stuff like MJ or Kanye did.
