For the record (and calculations) it didn't feel like I hit the ball at all. Maybe I did and maybe I didn't but it just felt like I threw a whole lot of water on the green and the ball was in with it (to my surprise).

Option 4: you disturbed a little sand which hid the ball and your son dropped another on the green and lied TO YOU.

It's not.

So, @MS256, are you going to do it? Because as politely as possible, I'm calling complete and utter BS.

Pretty sure you can make $100+ if you're able to do it. If you fail, we get to assign your avatar and user title for one week for each person who is willing to put up $10 (nothing generally offensive to a typical person).

Who's in?

You don't owe anything if you don't make it. That's a good bet in my mind. ;-)

Let's close this tonight. Midnight pacific time. That's currently 11 weeks of avatar- and user-title-changing (each person gets one week) when you fail and $110 if the laws of physics cease to exist on your stove for three seconds.

I always keep a $20 tucked in my wallet behind the cards just in case I ever meet the Dude that invented Yoga pants (I'm going to buy him some beers ;-) ), I am now sliding a ten back there too...just in case physics DO cease to exist on his stove for three seconds...

I'll join in there, sorry MS256.

I just want to see the swing that will make it happen.

Also, are ball retrievers considered an illegal club for this type of shot?

Okay, I'm in. How will we wire the money to MS256 if he should be able to do it?

I'll fly to Alabama and give him the cash if he can hit a ball that's under a foot of water :-P

Seems to be some silence from some quarters.   Funny that ;-)

I can throw a baseball 20 yards under water for what it's worth.

      New, College Golfer Trying to Go Pro

      By DaveP043 · Posted

      I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing.  This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard.  He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall.  And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage.  I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential.  Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic.   I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it.  Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical.  You'll need the facility to be able to practice.  My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities.  And money.  Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to.  You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible.  Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

      Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations.    Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.
