Yes, had to borrow one from my brother to finish.  Since then I'm pretty good about checking and double checking to make sure I have enough.  Also have gotten better and lose fewer balls, this year I have played 7 or 8 rounds and still working on the same sleeve of Taylormade TP Blacks.

I used to play often with a good friend of mine who has never broken a 100 on a rather difficult course in the area and before the round he would always buy a dozen pro v1's and by the turn he would have to buy another dozen, of pro v1's.  This always cracked me up, because he would say he chose the most expensive balls because they were "superior" and if it weren't for that superiority he would lose more balls. Yeah.........sure.

Heard a good story relating to this that happened on the Old Course many years ago.

Apparently the waiting on the closing holes was getting longer and longer, eventually a group arrived on a tee (don't know which one) to find a backlog of other groups.

Turns out that a Japanese four ball had lost all their balls between them, bar one!

They were supposedly hitting this ball, marking it and then running back for their partner to hit it!!!

Don't know if it's true but very amusing!!!

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
