I LOVE guys that do that!

Then, I bet them as big as they want, play in their group and "help" them count/recount their score every hole! (you know, cause I have a vested interest)

It's like shooting fish in barrel!

Hahaha, no, cuz if I did they'd never hear the end of it. I have a close knit group of friends, and were good at keeping the truth in check, because we torment the heart and soul out of eachother on things like this.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

Seemore Si-4 Black Nickel Putter

It's funny to me how in my situation the reverse psychology has my golf partners asking me to card lower than I really shot. I work to keep my true score, but everyone around me gives me hell about it because they don't. When my honest score is a 9 or 11, they don't want to hear it, because they just shot a 7 or 8 themselves and they don't want to card it. I always end up keeping my 'true score' on a separate scorecard, and they put me down for par +3, double-par, or whatever they can live with in their own seared consciences. funny.

... On the round of 9 we played today I shot a 41 and he shot a 43 with about 7 mulligans.

SEVEN mulligans ? !

On 9 holes? Crikey!

I have tried to work my pop to stop taking ANY mulligans. When I play I keep my score as honest as possible w no mulligans so I can gauge where I am and focus harder. When I know I have a spare drive inthe bag, I wont concentrate.

If I have a 50+ front nine and it continues to go south on the back nine, I tend to stop tracking the score, but turn it into a practice round, I dont need to know I scored a 109! My best round is under 90 9 strokes under my 2nd best! Playing that round with a mulligan would make me feel cheap! My dad tends to use a mulligan once a round, which can be annoying when I play my 50 yard drive on a par 5. We have a regular 4some that will all take 1 mulligan if we dont have warm up range time before the 18 kinda like a practice swing off the tee,, we all use it by the 3rd hole! warmup swings really help.

Not that I'm aware, but my friend has a friend that does. If he has a shot go less then 10 yards, he doesn't count it, a putt lip out, it was good, a stubbed chip, doesn't count....

Yeah, wanna make 14 dollars the hard way?

    • Day 4 (24 Jun 26) - Played the mid-week shootout - iffy day on putts as I had 35 and of late been in the upper 20's.   Greens recently verti-cut and they are a bit bump and long haired - no excuses as I need to learn to trust making the proper adjustments.   Overall a decent day with some solid long game shots.

    • 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.
