I'm just so amazed at how easy pros make it look. I'm happy for you sir. Thanks for sharing the day with us.

Great report, David, and I look forward to hearing more.

Did the fact that you were the best of the ams take a little pressure off of you?

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I was a little surprised. I'm a Guinness man, and expected the same from him, but he was drinking Lagunitas IPA.

When in France, drink wine. When in Ireland, drink Guinness. When in the USA, drink West Coast style IPA. I guess that would make more sense if y'all were playing in California, but seriously western USA IPAs are (IMO) up there with the best beer produced anywhere in the world.

Not as detailed or interesting as your post, David, but there are some other pictures up. You seem to be in most of them.

Few questions:

1) What kind of ball flight does G-Mac have? Does he hit high or low, and does he play more of a fade or draw?

2) He give you any good tips?

Congrats, and glad the experience seemed to live up to, if not exceed, your expectations.

Thanks for the great post @David in FL .  I had money on you breaking 80. :cry: If you shot an 85, I would have been 95 easy!

Bingo Bango, 85!

63....... Unreal!

Both @Rfordeagle and myself had it at 85. When I choose 85 I scrolled back to check but stopped at your post where the contest was announced, it seems he choose 85 prior to the contest opening but he was also the one who suggested the contest!

I'm already a supporter and always will be so I withdraw. @Rfordeagle better re-up his supporter status after the free month though!

Yours in earnest, Jason.
Call me Ernest, or EJ or Ernie.

Congrats David!! What an everlasting experience, your description of the day was so well done I feel like I walked a few of the holes along with you!

Thanks Ernest! I guess I'm confused. What's the support for? The new book?

    • Going to a Friendsgiving tomorrow and I am bringing a no-bake cheesecake. I make the crust too big, but I think it turned out good. The filling is really good. 
    • Sure, but how was your alignment? 🙂 Day 53 - 2024-11-22 Mirror work after getting back home. Wife is a superstar for her career/job/whatever.
    • I would say your back nine is the second nine you play that day. It's part of what makes getting some of those holes tougher. Or, if 18 holes are played pretty often, out of A, B, and C, and you often play A and C, A is the front and C is the back, regardless of the order you play them in. That way not birdieing C #7 isn't overcome by birdieing the easier A #7 on a day you played it C-A instead of A-C. But, at the end of the day, nobody really cares except yourself.
    • Day 128: played 9. Nice little even 9, with 2 birdies and 2 bogeys. 
    • @DeadMan, I think your approach makes sense. As @dennyjones said, consistency is the key.
