Thanks for all the kind responses. Yeah, I'm quite certain I could see my ball roll to a stop and watched it while walking down. That's the same course that last year I hit a groundhog on the head. I played it where it bounced off. I sorta felt bad about it, but he seemed okay, and my partner couldn't stop laughing and played a horrible hole. And thanks for the congrats on the 2. I was so worked up on the next hole I shot a 6 on a par 3, so I'm not joining the tour anytime soon.

Thank you!! (because I shot my best total overall round today and didn't want to lie) I wish I could I could list some cool clubs on my sig file, but I play some old Pings I bought for 90 bucks online :-). They're still better than I am, so I love them.

Okay, I'm a hack golfer and the father of a 13 month old, so I've not golfed a lot recently. I'm guessing this is a stupidly common question, but a search didn't find it. I'm not too proud to ask what most of you will considered dumb. (shameless brag). Wife and kid went to visit Grandma yesterday and Daddy decided it was the perfect free time, so got a round in. Hit a crazy wild shot with my 3 iron and shot a 2 on a 5. Probably will never do that again. But, beyond that, I decided today was another chance to sneak a round in. First hole, hit a real solid drive and its downhill so got a killer roll. I can see the ball from the tee box. I'm watching my ball, making the mental picture of where it is when somebody on the next fairway drives over, and hits it as if it was his. I don't want to be a jerk, plus, he's a couple hundred yards away, so it wouldn't matter anyway. I'm walking, so come down, think it was approximately where the ball was, and dropped and hit from there. I didn't take a stroke. Did I cheat?

Hi folks, Been lurking for a bit, thought I would join. Started golf last year after a 20 year hiatus. Started with my wife's clubs (short, very flexible), bought a used set of pings this year (shocker, longer stiffer clubs helped a lot), got fitted with a used driver and a 3 wood. For my anniversary, the wife bought me a Ping Craz-E putter. So, cheap set of clubs, but really enjoying the game. I'm shooting 90-100 consistently, but its the short game that's killing me. Need lots of chipping practice Anyway, just thought I'd say hi. I've learned some good things around here so far.
