If one plans a TST outing for April because in March the weather is consistently in the 60s and 70s, then the bad weather is simply waiting for you to finalize the outing date.

Quote from Dad:  "Son, it's not the club, it's the guy swinging it."

I had to say it:  Standing on #18 tee this afternoon, "17 holes with the same ball."  Hooked a horrible tee ball into water on #18.  Jinxed myself.  You can THINK it, but don't SAY it!

After knocking one out of bounds the provisional is the best drive of the day

On the hole with a 60 yard wide fairway and no bunkers you stripe your drive straight down the center, but on the hole with water on the right and deep fairway bunkers on the left, you couldn't hit the fairway if they gave you 4 mulligans.

For me it's the opposite! I can stripe it on a tough hole, but give me a fairway the size of a football field and I'm going to find a way to put it in the next county.

No matter how bad you slice it or how bad you hook it, your ball will find the center of the 5 foot wide cart path.

You happen to have some unanticipated free time, luckily, clubs are in the car and you're near a course and it's a nice day, but of course it's busy and there's a minimum 2 hour wait.

Or, you have free time after work for the first time in forever but it's raining.

Playing to a two-tiered green with the pin perched on the tiny top shelf, I'm not hitting it there in 10 tries ... but when the pin is sitting in the middle of the inviting bottom shelf, where everything funnels towards the hole, you damn well better believe I'll find that upper tier with my approach.

If you're a newly minted golfer, you will accumulate  a ton of useless golf related crap as holiday presents. My relatives know, Pro VIs.

    • Sounds about right. I forgot this place existed until now.
    • Day 5: Mirror work focusing on the start of the backswing
    • Day 82 (22 Jul 25) - played our church men’s group captains choice nine hole this evening.  Had a blast working green side shots with the wedges.  Love the format as I play a nine club bag which brings on shot creativity in a fun way. 
    • Finished Bandon Trail today. Man what a course. Big upgrade over Sheep Ranch. I am giving Sheep Ranch a  7/10. Mostly views, course was good, and fun.  I am giving Bandon Trails 8.25/10. It's up there with Sand Valley in my opinion. Much more demanding of the course. With the wind it just gets brutal.  The first two holes are fully exposed to the wind, since they sit on the western edge of the course, open to the pacific. Even though it is tree lined, the wind has a big impact as it rolls over the hills and dunes. You can be surrounded by trees and feel the 20 mph wind at the tee box or fairway. I recommend using the yardage book, as it contains the course layout with a compass rose showing the prevailing wind (almost always from the north in the summer). It's easier to judge which direction the wind is going.  I played halfway decent. I hate when the shank gets loaded into the gun. Short game is on point, putting is good. I just need to make better swigs. My shot is definitely not built for wind. 😭 Here are some photos...    
    • Would he not be entitled to unplayable relief and a one stroke penalty? And wouldn't the drop for unplayable plausibly be the same as the one he took?  That he cited the wrong rule and no penalty makes this a two stroke penalty instead of one? I'm assuming I'm wrong and there is a rule that prevents the player from reinterpreting his actions afterwards?  Regarding rule 14.7 - wrong place - and the general penalty. In this case, he gained a significant advantage by having an unimpeded swing? Shouldn't the penalty be for a "serious breach"? DQ?
