I got out of work early today to do a little golfing and also have tomorrow of to do the same.  Somebody T-Boned me on the way home from work so that got me in a dander.  Once again the start of a vacation has me getting kicked in the arse.

I finally made it to the course and hoped to get 18 holes in before it got too dark.  I have been coming oh so close on number 4 in the past which plays anywhere from 132 to 170 yards.  The whites usually are at 150 yards but today they had them all the way to the front of the stepped tee boxes.  It's all downhill to a sloping away green.  I used an 8 iron and sent it into orbit to make it stick.  It looked like it was about 2 feet to the left of the pin as she was heading up and away.  I even said out loud that this one was going to be good.  It took two small hops and then it disappeared.  I let out a little yip but wasn't sure if it was behind the flag.  As I was driving down the hill, I did not see white so I knew it was in.  Some younger guy came over along with two guys in a cart and he shook my hand.  I took that ball out of play and then proceeded to stink it up for about 5 holes.

I also shot my best round ever with a 91.  The last few holes was very hard to see but I was doing all right.  I guy said my ball ran over the hole on another par 3 that is straight up hill.  I was talking to that one too because it looked really good in flight before it was out of sight.  My 8 iron had some mojo tonight!  The last hole was in total darkness.   It is pretty nerve racking driving and hoping and praying that it is kind of straight and in the short grass.  Which I did not do to good today in that department.  Right in the middle of the fairway after making a few passed up and down to find it.  I could not even see the flag from 110 yards out and could just make out the green.  I skulled my 9 iron on a downhill lie way over the green and down the steep greenside bunker.  I just lobbed one up and heard a thump so I new I was on.  Ended up with a double to get the round in because I won't be able to play the course tomorrow for some shindig going on.  This is a damn crazy game and it ain't bad in the dark.

Oh what a feeling after the crap that was delivered earlier in the day.

Wow, congrats on the Hole in One!

What a roller coaster day it has been for you.   I don't mind getting T-boned, less injury, if I can get a hole in one afterward.

Congratulations! I have a great fear that some day I'll get that elusive ace, but it will happen during a horrible round. Extra bonus that your entire round was memorable. :beer:

Thanks!  I hope there are many more to come.  I had a snowball's chance in hell of making one yesterday on a course that I don't play on much.  Stunk the place up and started to lose count of just how many strokes it took to put the damn thing in the cup.  Hole-in-One Boy had reality kick him in the backside and let him know that he still borders on being a hack.  Today I will try to get back on course.

Congrats! I had my closest call this year, 8 inches.

Still feels great when they are close.  My biggest peeve is missing the "gimme" putts that happens way too many times.

The first time I ever played my home course I had one 3 inches from this same hole.  Come to think of it, that was just over a year ago.  That one was from 20-30 yards farther back and they seem to take forever to come down.  We thought it was in because it also disappeared.  I did not get too worked up like one guy did because I knew there was a chance it was sitting on the green behind the flag stick.  My first birdie on that course will always be remembered.

      Too Old?

      By RetiredOldMan · Posted

      StuM,  I have, in the past, added a left handed club. (Ususally a 7 iron) However, I usually take a stroke penalty and move the ball to where I want it.  I play for fun and in a pinch can use theback side if my club if I don't want the penalty stroke.    RetiredOldMan,  Terry

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech transfer QB, was found guilty of sports betting by the NCAA. He admitted to it. He placed thousands of bets over multiple years while at Indiana and Cincinnati. This included betting on his own teams.  The NCAA rules ban athletes from betting on any sport (college or pro).  A retired visiting judge from Tarrant County, Texas has put an injunction on the NCAA ruling. He is a visiting judge because the first judge was a graduate and big fan of Texas Tech, and he recused himself. The judged ruled the following... "Under Curry's order, Sorsby is permitted to play for Texas Tech's 2026 season on the condition that he continues his treatment for a gambling and anxiety disorder and serves a two-game suspension (missing games against Abilene Christian and Oregon State)."  Don't get me wrong, I don't particularly care for the NCAA. That still doesn't mean that a college can choose when or where to say, "Yea we agree to these rules for all our sports, well except in this case." Here is a breakdown from S&W. The Hidden Weapon in Sorsby’s Injunction: How a Lubbock County Court Order Quietly Neutralized the NCAA’s Most Powerful Enforcement Tool - Law Offices of Snell & Wilmer By Ryan J. Regula On June 8, 2026, Lubbock County District Court Judge Ken Curry issued a temporary injunction in Brendan Sorsby v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Cause No. DC-2026-CV-0791 (99th Judicial District... The main judgement made sense. Sorsby, I am going to have all this harm done to me if I don't get to play. The Judge, I agree. The penalty for gambling is too harsh, so here are all these things you must do, and I will grant this injunction against the NCAA. Basically, an analogy would be when a person goes into court for a DUI and they agree to all these other things to not end up in jail.  What sucks for the NCAA is the NCAA has appealed to Texas’ Seventh Court of Appeals, based in Amarillo. All four justices that preside over the court are graduates of Texas Tech University School of Law. It would be hilarious if all four of them had to recuse themselves 🤣. For those who like to read legal rulings...

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By StuM · Posted

      The chatter in my brain is when the distance is between clubs since I am pretty weak at shortened backswings, etc. I try to simply decide if being long or short is the better outcome and choose my club based on that and simply not even try for the “real” distance.  For me a full normal swing is what I strive for.

      Swing Thoughts & Mental Game

      By saevel25 · Posted

      I saw this comment made in a golf article... "Most golfers stand over a 4- or 5-iron still negotiating with themselves. They think about how hard to swing, whether they have the right club, if they have the aim correct and more. It’s a lot to deal with and long irons punish the “half-in” golf swing." I am not sure the "most golfers" is correct regarding the bolded part. I can understand if there is a bunker, water, and/or OB that a lot of golfers would be fixated on that. I am not sure that leads to ending up more times there. Pending your level in golf, the variance is so large in outcomes, it could be just with in the expected outcomes. I can understand if have a big lake on the right side of the hole being one of the most terrifying shots for right-handed amateur golfers.  I am not sure many golfers are standing over the ball talking to themselves, "Ok, maybe I should step back and pull the 4-iron. Am I lined up right? Oh, the wind came up, should I swing harder? What am I going to have for dinner tonight, maybe steak. (Joking, somewhat 😛)" A question is that how much chatter do you get while standing over the ball. Are you questioning the everything about your golf shot?
