Worst Golfer at the Sand Trap.

A bad day on the golf course, is better than a good day at work. (oh..wait...wrong thread)

LOL at you guys.

I posted a 42 on the front and was on track to beat my personal best (87) but I shot a 52 on the back....oh well.

On the back we decided to go for it on every shot, no matter the lie, distance to the green, etc. It was fun, but obviously not good for scoring. We played "chug one" as a penalty for laying up, or not taking a straight line toward the flag. No one was penalized, but we all paid the penalty several times.

Now a 54 after a 42!? That's like 2 different golfers!

What about me left-handed? OK, I could probably still beat someone here...

[wedge player]

i could qualify for streakiest golfer here

This is a reason why I like this forum. At first I thought it was just all single digit cappers but then I realized there's several people from all across the board, from really high to scratch or better. I think I was once in the running for this but my scores have gotten better so not any more.

I took lessons 2 years ago and asked for one session specifically for sand. Pro wanted an aggressive swing with lots of sand. Seemed to work, but since then, I have gone every which way to avoid that swing because I'm still scared of flying the green. I'll putt it out if there is no crown. Pitch it if the sand is hard. Yesterday I tried and got a great bump and run because I saw the "sand" had moss growing on it. LOL. Maybe if I played on more courses with real sand, I could develop a consistent sand swing.

Heh, I've tried to hit my girlfriend's righty 7-iron. I really don't see how you people swing those things.

(Aside: My golf buddy always wants to try at least one hack with my irons. It seems to immediately destroy his driver shot for the rest of the day. Might be able to use this trick to my advantage in the future... )

Played 9 holes this past Sunday (only had time for 9, wished I could've played whole 18). I was 1 over for 6 holes then when +3, +5, +1 for 10 over total.

WFT??? Talk about Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde...

[R7Player]

But we can all appreciate your honesty and you guys keep it fun. I did not properly
strike my irons until my 40's. You're on a roll kid.

I shot 4 over on the front 9 and then 14 over on the back 9 once this summer. And the back 9 is easier. I also was 10 over on the 15th and leveled my handicap at the end of the round - it was 19 at the time.
