the course is too easy for me, and I play to its caliber.

they didnt mow the tee boxes.

After amega slice into the woods, my usual phrase is: "I'm just too good at this game, I need to make it a little more challenging for myself."

Me too! Mind if I use it with my brother and pawn it off as my own? He has a much better since of humor than me, and I need all the help I can get.

Sure, go right ahead. Make sure when you say it you are absolutely dead serious. No smiling.

If it's your first time playing the course it's sometimes good to follow it up with a.... "I wouldn't play this course again if it was free." Or "Who the hell designed this cow pasture anyway?" (cow pasture comment is good for when it is a really nice course)

i usually blame myself for anything that goes wrong in a swing. ball was too far forward in my stance, i was standing a little too far away from the ball, i swung back on too flat of a plane, etc etc.

a lot of the time, though, i'll sum it up and just announce to my partners, "i'm making this way too bloody complicated. all i have to do is put this stupid ball in the hole. just hit the thing straight and put it in the hole. instead i'm making the game hard and hitting it left and right and short and long. just hit it straight and put it in the hole."
