I had my first hole in one today. Yeah!

It was 174 yards in somewhat cold and windy conditions, with a 5 wood that never left the flag (it was a little left of it when it landed) and rolled in!  Just so we are clear, the 5 wood is my 190-195 yards club, but it was the right club for this job! :dance:

:banana: congrats.

Hovering on one of the award icons beneath another members post, I realized that I qualify for another award. I did participate in the TST outing at Eagle Creek in Norwalk, OH in August of 2016. It was a fun event despite the overcast and the heavy thunderstorms on Saturday. It was kind of a good thing I couldn't make the one club, since it was cancelled.

Broke 80. The badge will encourage me further to go for the par badge because i haven't broken par yet and that'll be a massive achievement for me.

I had a new personal best of 81 on Saturday, 41-40, so that would be for breaking 90. Not quite in the 70s yet but hopefully this summer!

No hole in one in my career but I did have an Albatross on the short par 5 fifth at Tapps Island in Washington State. It's only 443 yds but there's water from 240-260 that forces a layup or a risky attempt with driver. I was feeling good that day and managed to clear the water and stay in bounds. Hit a PW from 150 for my blind second shot over a low hill. My group gets up after 4 good shots but there's only 3 balls on the green. My folks were in town for the Open at Chambers Bay. I know I caught the wedge thin so I'm starting to walk over the green to find the ball when my ever-optimistic mom suggests checking the hole. As I'm politely laughing to myself to not hurt her feelings I hear "Is it a Callaway? There's a Callaway in here." Could have knocked me over with a feather! 

I go by Pat or Patrick. Been called a lot worse so I don't mind either.

    • Yeah that didn't pass the smell test
    • Bryson got hit with a 2 shot penalty, after the round, for improving his lie on hole 5.  Here is a post on X, showing how he stepped on high grass when he was looking down his target line.  When they cut to the side shot, you can see how close he was behind the ball.  I think the R&A probably made the correct decision. You just have to be really careful when you are walking in the high grass, around the ball and where you are to make a swing.

    • Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.  
    • Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
