He was in a foursome in the scramble tourney I played in today. His caddy (Willie) rode on the back of the cart

The most ironic thing is, his foursome lost by two strokes to a foursome of true amateurs.

You mean, you didn't play with Hal Sutton. And there's nothing ironic about it; it might be odd, or sad, or expected, but not ironic.

I also didn't play with Hal Sutton. But I did play with Ben Crenshaw in a charity event in San Diego. What a nice guy. Best part of his game was approach shots, seemed to me.

Hmm, OK. It was IRONIC. As in, unexpected . In case you wish to further bust balls, let me point you to a definition of ironic: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ironic

I apologize, you are right. I had always thought of irony as meaning something more toward an unusual juxtaposition, but it appears the definition is more broad. Sorry.

Must have been fun having Sutton at your event.

No worries. We were also supposed to have a clinic from David Toms, but apparently he injured his foot/ankle or something and couldn't make it. We played Southern Trace, which is Toms' home course. There was also a rumor that Terry Bradshaw would show, but no such luck.

Not entirely. They had four people with handicaps; I bet Hal Sutton doesn't maintain a handicap anymore.

Having a pro on your team won't make you play 20 under par, he only gets one or two putts per green and if all is partners miss it's not his fault. They usually putt last so you don't get an advantage of watching his line, if they made a one putt on every green they would be at the top of every leader board each week.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

      Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
