Very funny stuff! Not only did they not give me my skin for paring from a fairway bunker, they took a greenie when they 3 putted. I'm printing this for next time,lol.

How about, par 5 in a fairway bunker, hit out, next shot on green, 2 putt for a par. I've always played a par from the sand at any time, and this week we had a couple new guy's playing with us, and said only up and down greenside bunker. Just wondering how everyone else plays it.

When playing a skins game with greenies, and sandies. Do you only get a sandie when you get up and down from a green side bunker, or a par when you were in the sand at anytime during a hole? I know everyone has different rules, for different games. Just looking for a concensus opinion. Thanks!

ww, no lessons or anything for him yet. If he decides he wants to pursue it, we'll definitely go that route. We just figured out this summer which way he was more comfortable, lefty or righty. Baseball he throws right and bats left. My brother in-law gave him a set of lefty clubs, and turns out he likes righty better. He's starting to get the bug, and i know as well as anyone how hard it is to break old habits. He stays pretty busy with baseball year round, golf is just something different for us to do together.

What's more impressive is that he can hit a baseball 300 ft. He's good for about 2 per round and uses the 3 as a driver. Between the equipment and the size of kids these days, you'd be surprized how strong some kids are. I only have about a month before my busy season starts down here in sunny south florida. I'll be fishing 6-7 days a week for about 8 months, after that i think i'll get with a pro and see what he has to say. Thanks for the replies! Capt. Gavet

I've been golfing on and off for 15 years. Got my handicap down in the single digits,and generally pretty happy with the way i score. The thing is, I'm a self taught former baseball player. Never had a lesson, but know my game very well. I hit about a club shorter than most the people i play with, if not more, but i only take less than half of a back swing. If i take a full swing i gain no distance, and lose a ton of accuracy. I do really well on short tight courses, but struggle on the long wide open courses. Was considering starting over from scratch, and building a proper swing that could eventually get my handicap even lower. I'm 40, so there's still time, and when i see my 12 year son hit my 3 wood 250 yards, i kinda wish i could do that> Even though i still kick his butt.

My goal when i tee off is to shoot in the seventies, eventually would love to break par.
