I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE THE GAME OF GOLF AND THE LAST FEW YEARS HAVE BECOME ADDICTED TO IT (AS MUCH AS MY SONS BALL SCHEDULE WILL LET ME) BUT I WENT OUT WITH A COUPLE FRIENDS THAT SHOOT AROUND THE MID 90'S SATURDAY AND PLAYED A ROUND. STARTED OFF ON THE BACK 9 AND MADE PAR THEN BOGEY (THAT SHOULDA BEEN PAR) THEN CAME #12 PAR 3 SLIGHTLY UPHILL ELEVATED GREEN (MY GPS ON MY PHONE SD 168YDS) AND I HAVE TO ADMITT THIS HOLE IS NOT BEEN VERY GOOD TO ME IN THE PAST.... SO ANYWAY I APPROACHED THE BALL WITH A 6 IRON STRUCK IT GOOD STRAIGHT TO THE FLAG STICK JUST A LITTLE LEFT OF IT, IT HIT THE FRONT OF THE GREEN AND KICKED EVER SO SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT.... MY BUDDY LOOKED AT ME AND SAID THAT PROBABLY WENT IN THE HOLE, I LAUGHED. THEY HIT WE DROVE TO THE TOP OF THE GREEN AND I COULDNT SEE MY BALL THERE BALLS WAS LONG AND THE OTHER WAS TO THE LEFT OF THE GREEN. I SAID TO THEM SURELY IT DIDNT HAVE THAT MUCH SPEED TO ROLL OF THE GREEN.... HE SD "MAN I BET U ACED IT" I WENT INTO A SLOW TROT TO THE CUP... AND TO MY DISBELIEF IT WAS IN THE CUP!!!!!! I COULDNT BELIEVE IT.... BCSE I HAVE NEVER CAME AS CLOSE TO 10 FT FROM THE CUP ON A PAR 3. I HAVE TO SAY WAS SUPER EXCITED. BY NO MEANS DID I MEAN TO I JUST TRY TO GET CLOSE. HAHA. FOUR GUYS ON ANOTHER TEE BOX SAW IT GO IN BCSE WHEN WE WAS GETTING CLOSE TO THE GREEN ONE WAS HOLDING THE "TOUCHDOWN" SIGN UP WITH HIS HANDS. I THOUGHT HE WAS SAYING I WAS THAT CLOSE.I AM NOT THE TYPE GOLFER THAT HITS CONSISTENT AND WILL PROB NEVER DO IT AGAIN!!!!! BTW I SHOT THE BEST SCORE I HAVE EVER PLAYED (88) AND SHOULDA BEEN A 86.... BUT I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE SCORE AND THE SHOT!!!! THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE MY EXCITMENT FROM SATURDAY THAT CARRIED OVER THE WEEKEND......

Nice story and congrats on the Ace. By the way how much did the round of drinks cost you after the game? You did take your friends out for a drink after didn't you?

It ain't bragging if you can do it.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
