To be honest, I hadn't thought of the idea before I read this topic lol

Go out as a single and get paired up with a group!

I am playing in a 3 PM 4th of July Scramble at a local course that is not where we play every week.  As such, the four of us agreed to play at 9 AM to warm up for the Scramble.  The scramble is $45/man and includes prizes & Bar-B-Q afterwards.

I inquired at our club, but no one was interested in playing a "game" on the fourth.

Let me know what ya'll are doin.

630Am every morning through Sunday.................that's as far as I've planned ahead.  LOL

[zipazoid]

Woohoo! Just heard from My Man Mike. He's got us a 12:06p tee time at Grand Cypress...FOR FREE!

[Blacksheep]

Me and three other guys have a little grudge match set up for 7:30 in the morning. We plan on playing 36 but we' ll just have to see how hot it gets.

[BuckeyeNut]

I'll be out late shooting fireworks tonight and drinking some beer. (good combo).......then be on the course at 630am.......then taking a nap at 10am.........LOL

[tuffluck]

I played today with my girlfriend and shot a 92 and she shot a 105. Best for her and second best for me ever. It was a good day, even though it topped 98 here in TX :)

[Goonsidious]

The heat killed my option of golfing.

[Mattplusness]

Man I couldn't find a tee time where I could get anyone to play with me. So I'll either be going alone or just going to the range for a while.

[BuckeyeNut]

I just came in from shooting off fireworks at 1130pm........and it's still 91degrees with a 93 degree heat index.   I sweat my @ss off......LOL

[zipazoid]

It's weird. Our high today is supposed to be 97 here in Orlando...and we're the cool spot in the country!

This is always my rationalization for living here year-round. People would say 'Oh isn't it hot there in the summer?' and I would say 'Where isn't it?"

[Lost-Ball]

was shocked there really wasnt many people playing today. i went to the driving range and putting green and it looked like i was gonna tee off alone. i get on the first tee and put my tee in the ground and then comes a guy off the back nine driving up to the first tee. i invited him to play with me and he accepted. he was a very nice guy but one of those who hits low low pushes right and refuses to aim way left lol. we played the front nine together and i think he hit it over 6 in the air maybe 3 times. didnt keep him from trying to give me lessons though lol. i would just really like to be able to play with someone better than myself but its all good

i ended up shooting 92. had to take 2 reliefs (tree roots) and on the back i have a 9 on a par 5 that i normally par (tee shot left, punch out hooked back into the woods, 2nd punch out went 50 yds hit a tree then came back almost to the same spot, 3 punch just short of green, chip over the green and landed is mud, 2nd chip was short, 3 chip landed on the green 6ft away, 2 putted)  feels like a played good today besides throwing away 6 shots.

hope everything has a safe and fun 4th

Indeed what I did.

I shot from the blues for the first time, walked for the first time this year in the 99* heat with a 102 heat index, and shot a disastrous 99.

But what I gave up in strokes, I lost in weight LOL

The score really isn't as bad as it sounds though, most of my dropped shots were from the club slipping in my hand. Switching gloves every hole isn't fun either.

Scratch that, my weather app just updated. It's 101 with a 109 heat index.

a change of glove and underware every other hole lol

I tee'd off around 9:30 with a guy from work, so dead cuz of the heat (set a record high for the day here) the course let us play 18 for half price. Played to the norm of my abilities.

[rwfastrax]

I did pretty well. We teed at 9:30 and by the time we made the turn it was 93. My two playing partners wilted a bit but I kept it together and even had a better back nine than front. 79. I too was well prepared. Two caps, two gloves, two water bottles.

[mirv]

i played a casual round with a friend.  the course was pretty packed this morning, so since we weren't going to be tearing arse around the course, we decided to each play 1-man scramble format.  my friend managed to come in with even par 70 and i shot 63 (i had 10 birdies, but 3 bogies offset it a bit).

[formula428]

I did in the evening...it was great. With the heat and the holiday, course was empty.

[Jim Ludden]

Played 36 yesterday at my club in Houston (Deerwood). It was packed, everyone must've took off on the 4th. All the pins were US flags with holders at the side of the green, a nice touch for the 4th.
