Keepy Uppy Anyone?

[xixiviii]

I have been insanely bored since the cold weather has set in. I have been entertaining myself watching the golf channel and playing "horse" against myself bouncing a plastic ball off of different things in my apartment with a wedge.

Anyway, keepy uppy...

What is your best number of bounces with the old wedge?

I am not terribly good at it but I can get a few over 25 bounces with an old 60 degree vokey.

What can you guys do?

You live in Texas and it's too cold? what could it be, 50's? I live near Chicago and I played last weekend, it was 32 degrees, but no snow. Dressed warm and had a great time. Get out there, man, you live in Texas, I'd be golfin year round!

HA! I was expecting to hear that from somebody. To my credit it was actually in the 30's today.

I am a cold weather weenie, but I think 101 degrees is perfect walking weather. Go figure.

on the keepy uppies i can go till the cows come home its all about hand-eye co-ordination I've started trying tricks and knocking the ball onto my feet and kick it up with them also try finishing with knocking the ball in the air and hitting it in mid air its good fun and improves hand eye so it can be usefull

[popey]

I can keep a ball up for ages until either the phone rings or someone distracts me!

Its more about the tricks that you can do! I can flick it between my legs, flick in onto my neck! THats what impresses people!

I can go forever and I can go through the legs, behind the back, juggle it with my knees and feet, and I can pass two balls back and forth with my friend who is also very good at it.

I max out at one vertical bounce.

The second one will end up anywhere.

as a drummer and leadoff batter in baseball, people think i have great hand eye coordination. but, alas, i can't keep that dang ball bouncing for more than 5 times. i must practice away from breakables at all times!! weirdly, i can toss a ball in the air and actually send it out there 100 or so yards with an iron. strange....

I think you meant, "He's a real scrapper, great contact hitter, always puts the ball in play, would run through a brick wall for you."

stop it. really.

I have counted 214, then my arm fell off :) I can do all the basic tricks like between my legs etc but the more advanced tricks I'm struggling with at the moment.

I am not sure what to make of these posts. The wind has left my sail.

HA!

I thought I was doing good with 25 bounces, only to realize everyone else apparently can put it through their freaking legs and bounce it off of things.

Showoffs...

Texas... really.... Texas and your bored. The ground here in the Midwest is frozen solid. Try hitting out of a frozen bunker... I can't wait to move south. In NC I will golf all year and love it. What it will be like to have no offseason, no winter, no consecutive weeks without play. It's in the single digits here right now (not talking handicap).

I'm going to go bounce some balls with my 60*... I can't do tricks yet, so I need some practice.
