Is that even real? How can you be that bad? I have worked at a golf course for 15+ years and I have seen some horrid players, but shooting 257, I just don't see how thats even possible. You could putt the ball down the fairway and shoot a lower score than that. I don't even know how can that even be fun? He lost 5 dozen golf balls!

Anything's possible, I mean I could beat this guy using just my putter.

I was not alive when this event happened but believe this is the one my dad told me about, and unless I'm mistaken on the 17th at Sawgrass where he eventually carded a 66, he did eventually use his putter for the entire hole and putted around and up the walkway to reach the green...after hitting 2 dozen balls in the water or so

The guy obviously has some mental game issues. He needs to stop worrying about his mechanics and just swing his natural swing. A good caddie will do him some good, get him out of his own head. Jack Nicklaus could probably shave at least 100 strokes if he was on his bag 😜

lol I remember that well.

What always got me about him was, how could anyone enjoy playing like that? If it were me I would have either taken lessons or threw my clubs away.

I think Fitcat1 played behind this guy, which is why he was so bitter about golf.

    • Day 446 - 2025-12-20 Woke up early and got some swings in before teaching putting all day. Looking forward to doing the same tomorrow.
    • It's miles better, though.
    • Went up to Erie for a lesson. I still need to work on how I shift my weight into my right leg and turn into the right leg. I extend it too much and externally rotate it too much. That all causes me to over rotate the hips and cause weight shift issues in the downswing. I need to feel like my right leg gains flex (it doesn’t), and my knee cap faces forward. The right hip sinks back and right. I need a need a ton more internal rotation. I still have some right elbow issues in the backswing. The path is better, but too much right elbow bend. I need to maintain width in the right elbow and let my right shoulder retract more, let’s say at A3, which helps keep that right arm extended.
    • Day 130 12-20 Today was just swinging what i had and go from there. Did focus on getting to lead side. Recorded swings for lesson  and hit real balls.
