Can't begin to guess how many of us are in a golf league. This is about your story of the day in your league - it can be about your best shot, an unforgetable birdie or even your partner hitting a shot out of the woods while being chased out by a snake.

Our league will start this coming Monday.

Last season - par four, dogleg right, hit tee shot into the right rough loaded with pine trees.

2nd shot used a 3 iron to punch it onto the fairway (ended up where the tee shot should have been).

3rd shot hit a full 9 iron and knocked it in for a birdie.

It's such an easy game.

Well... it looks like only two.

I would've guessed quite a bit more.

Hit some great drives in my golf league yesterday, swung through impact zone to full finish and concentrated on being less handsy. Never hit the ball so flush.

Wednesday night I shot a 40 with only one birdie and I missed two three-footers. Still not sure how I did it.

I've averaged well over 100 round per year for more than 20 years and I avoid leagues like the plague.

..........are there any others like me???

I'd rather just play golf.  lol...........league play tends to be so slow and filled with what I call "non-golfers" that I don't want any part of it.

I'm in a small league at work.  We play on Mondays at a below average public course with a quirky set up.  The front nine has 3 par 5s (soon to be 4) and 3 par 3s.  The back nine, 2 par 5s and 4 par 3s.  In addition, they don't seem to give a hoot about the Monday folks.  The first three weeks, we get to tee off to the side of the boxes.  If they do construction, it is while we play.

Last week, we had to wait on the second hole for a dump truck to drop a load on our tee box.  The only redeeming feature is the price.

I do have fun though, as most of the players are good guys.  We trash talk a lot, which keeps it light.

I'm in a league this year. My partner is a friend who carries a vanity cap. The first few weeks, it's killed us. His 9 hole cap is 8. On our course, that means averaging 43 with your 10 low scores. We have played three matches so far this year and his low score has been 51. While I've been fairly steady and right around my cap, he's killing our chances. Luckily, the league institutes a "league" cap starting on match 4. So, I'm guessing my partner will be double-dotting on many holes...

    • I have trouble with vertigo on occasion, but have gotten nutritional and biofeedback tips to keep it at bay. Dehydration can help trigger v-like symptoms so one recommendation, along with maintaining overall hydration, is to start with 8 oz. of water early in the morning. A meta-analysis on Golf As Physical Activity indicated that golf is rated as a moderately intensive physical activity. This scientific literature review came from the University of Edinburgh. The physical activity level ties into hydration. A former university colleague was a marathon runner who had published a couple of articles on endurance training. He likewise said that golf was a moderate physical activity especially when the round stretched past  the two-hour mark. For hydration he recommended switching from water to electrolyte drink on the back nine (past two hour point of exercise) to prevent cramping. At the two-hour point of moderate activity, water starts flushing electrolytes out of the body, which can lead to fatigue and cramping. (I have had trouble with leg cramps in the past during exertion.) During a round, I start out with water on the front nine and switch to sports drink on the back nine. If the day is unusually hot, I may drink 8 oz. of Pedialite concentrate before going to the course. Maintaining overall hydration plus on-course boosters keeps me going.
    • Personally I’d try booking direct first - either via the Vidanta golf reservations number/email or through the resort concierge - especially for Christmas/New Year. Vidanta’s main courses (Greg Norman and Nicklaus designs) are popular and can book out fast this time of year, so direct often gives you the best shot at your preferred tee times.
