Not to me, but to a member of our group...

Tees it up, hits the ladies tee marker, ball bounces backward, second shot was farther away from the pin than the first.

You gotta love this game.

A few weeks back, had a guy hit the ladies tee marker on a par 3, which sent the ball straight back past him (barely missed me as well) into a rock wall where the ball bounced back past us a 2nd time and ended about 20 yds out in the fairway. Then 3 holes later he shanked a driver about 45 degrees left, directly at a house where the home owner was standing right there watering his garden. I'm sitting in the cart, see the ball coming and before I can even yell fore it hits the hole sign post and comes wizzing by the cart. That post almost certainly saved him from buying a window.

I was playing an early round of golf one morning when a hunter crossed our fairway.  He had to see us!!........and I am sure he had no business being on the property!!.............he meandered across without a care in the world....it took forever.   We thought about firing drives over his head, but decided against it.

He was carrying a bow and dressed something like this..........


We decide to let him pass......... lol

Not to me but my best friend was playing with some buddies from work and one of them was having girls problems and she wouldn't stop calling him on the course, they get to the 7th hole, and instead of teeing up a ball, he tees up his iPhone 3 at the time and absolutely obliterated it. I wish I still had the picture. As for me, nothing really. Still new to the game

My ex-boss is a great athlete but a crappy golfer. Mostly devoid of etiquette, he was often talking on the phone walking down the fairway or on the tee. I wanted to tee his phone up (and am still sorry I didn't) just to make the point. Just responding to the previous post.

    • Can be out and up a little more. Not quite over-done yet.
    • Down the line and face on from today. Still feeling like I’m sticking the club into a hole in the ceiling above my right shoulder and then big loop inside to start downswing. That’s how it feels. Not how it looks though! Gotta keep working on this for a bit but I see a lot of progress. 😁
    • Day 5 (13 Mar 26) - Friday shootout cancelled- made it a practice round working from mixed tees. Plenty of up and down work around greens.  Best was a hole out birdie on the par 3 #5 hole - nice pitch and roll w/Pw from about 10yds off the green - dead center flagstick drop.  Much of round was focused on getting solid weight shift into lead foot. 
    • Day 208 3-13 Worked on wrist arching and flow. First time hitting reall balls at a range in months. It was nice to see ball flight. Still not sure it beats my backyard practice station. 
    • Three hole match - microphones on in the cart. It's fascinating listening to them talk about their shots and how they play them. I'm not normally a huge fan of the TM videos - they seem forced to me - but this one doesn't. It's also fun seeing their competitiveness over what on the face of it is a fairly meaningless 3 holes, but they can't help themselves.
