There's no such thing as a full moon, and the theory on the rotation is incorrect. They're really just multiple balls that he's blasted into space. A full moon is just a rare one that didn't break apart on impact. Stars are actually just one golf ball shattered into a million pieces.

I don't know what +1 feels like. Never had a bogey.

Mine is about 35' wide and probably about 25' feet long.  We live in a tract so our house is pretty close to the street, but it has to be so wide because it leads to a 3-car garage.

I was in a bad mood yesterday and really whacked one with the 4" stub of a broken hockey stick handle, left handed, standing on my head in 12' of water. I really, really hope I didn't damage the Curiosity rover.

I usually just walk on the water.

I always yell something out at impact . .like "BOOM!" . .or "POW!".

One time a while back, I hit my drive right over a mountain!  POW!

However, I tend to get nervous on the actual tee box and typically only carry it 200.  That's what's kept me out of pro golf.  If there was a kind of pro golf where you hit it over mountains, I'd be the Tiger Woods of it.

I usually only have to drive about two minutes to play golf, but sometimes I will drive four, five, even six hours. It took almost 14 to get to Kiawah Island.

I drive a moderately sized SUV.

No need.

I carry a wedge and a putter. And the putter is for when you muck up a drive.

I have never seen a course that I can't tame with those two clubs alone.

It's a gift I have and I could easily turn pro and make a killing, but I just think it's wrong to use the gift for profit.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I once hit a chipper from the tee and drove the par 5 16th at the Olympic Club. Johnny Miller said it was the best trap draw that he has ever seen.

In all seriousness, I read somewhere that Bubba Watson gets bored with golf and sometimes just plays with a wedge and a putter and he played a round 4 over. Haha.

Or just a driver and putter as he can crush that thing off the deck nicely (See 18th at Kapalua (sp))

Great, another guy holding up the pace of play. Do you let guys play through while you're waiting for re-entry?

So childish.

I guess my drives are so unreal, eh? Come back when you crush em 320 consistent.

I went to the range earlier and I had a group of about 10 kids standing behind me gasping and clapping after every shot. I had a 100 ball bucket, do the math.

I caught one a little thin the other day and they had to declare a natural disaster zone because of all the homes I destroyed.  I thought the response by FEMA was a bit slow but the Red Cross was on it right away.  I am glad I put the extra pennies in those buckets every winter.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Hitting some good shots on my golf trip. It's good I can tell when I hit better shots the way I want to swing the ball versus when I use an older swing. Shockingly, the short game has been at worst, not harmful to my game. I am using similar feels to the full swing, in that I try to get my hands down. I've been nipping the ball clean off the turf.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By mdl ·

      I was laid off two months ago. Good severance, a 90 day layoff announcement regulation the company wanted to avoid so technically I'm still on the payroll for a few weeks, and a bunch of banked PTO, so I'm in a great spot and working on a startup idea I've been batting around with my brother for a while. That means I've got time to get to the gym! I'm at like 60-75 minutes 5x a week of strength training, and either a run or a bunch of time playing soccer or tennis with my daughter on the weekends. Stronger than I've been in forever. Up ~5 pounds of (noticeable!) muscle!

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By Big C ·

      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?
