6 Iron is my best club. Bombing the green from 150 out consistently and leaving huge ball marks on the greens are my favorite things

My brother in law is a Uber driver in Boston. He runs his own business as a driver, he likes it, been using it for years.

My #1 rule in life is to treat people how I would like to be treated.

The first 10 holes yesterday I had nine "three putts", one "three putt" after that, finished @ 103. Putter is now in the car, I'm bringing it everywhere I go now so I can get better at putting

Thats what I learned today^ Also I need to apologize to you guys for my math skills. I entered my score into excel and got a pleasant surprise = 98. As mentioned earlier, my chipping and putting really saved me today, 33 total putts

Today I went to Bethpage (the blue Course) things went well... It was back to the real world for me. First tee shot awful, I apologized to my playing partners, ended up shooting a 7 on the first hole. Things got going in a positive direction, nothing great, but nothing bad, till 7,8 & 9 where the wheels came off the bus for a 55 for the first nine. 10-18 nice = Nothing great (okay my Putting saved me) 3 pars, 2 bogies, 3 double bogies, 1 triple bogie (10th) my a solid 47. It's my 3-4 rescue clubs that I couldn't hit today for beans. If I had hit them better that would have been 5 strokes off easy. Tomorrows another day, hitting up West Sayville for the first time

Yesterday was bad, regressed to 110, ugh Today I backed off on my driver, kept the 3 wood in the bag..... My short game has been okay (for me), I've been getting complements "for a guy thats only been playing a year you have a nice touch inside of a hundred" Okay I was "bombing" the greens today (for me) with my irons, I'll say 6-8 shots from 60-100 yards that just were awesome Added it all up and I slayed my dragon today = shot an 89 . Not typo, I shot an honest 89, including 2 penalty strokes

104.... 4 penalty strokes on the front 9 =UHG! Montauk Downs is a wonderful place

Will do! Have an 8am tee time at Montauk Downs tomorrow

I started playing golf last year at the age of 51 and play the game of golf for the enjoyment of the game, I don't keep score. It's about being outside and enjoying the experience. Went golfing yesterday, on a whim I kept score. Played okay for me, when all was said and done added up the numbers = 104 for a par 72. Now I'm on a mission! The score was with two 9's, one 8 and included 3 penalty strokes. I'm on vacation next week, time to have at it

Perky is nice

Played 9 First hole was bad plus a bunch. First two shots okay, then put the third in the water, then the meltdown = An honest 10 After that a couple of knocks around the greens but okay. Only lost the one ball, finished with a 56. More good than bad, so I'll take it

How far away from the target when using your driver?

Yesterday on a short par 3, elevated tee box, waiting for the group in front of me to clear.... I found what I believe to be the secret birthing grounds of golf balls 20-30 yards in front of the tee box. In under 2 minutes found (about) 40 golf balls. Titelist, Callaway, Bridgstone, Nike, Slasenger, etc, etc. I will no longer be buying any golf balls for quite a while now

I went out Saturday and did well for me = 103 Went last night, what a train wreck.... stop keeping score after the fourth hole I'm going after work tonight, want a rematch

Thanks!

Agreed, like you said its a situational thing, I'm not putting through 5' of fringe, so thats a "chip when you have to" deal. My chipping is at the Jekel/Hyde stage, sometimes terrific, other times its an exercise in frustration. A bunch of the fringes here are cut at 3/32", so for a guy like me I can minimize my liability by pushing the "easy button".

Yep. I found this to be great, got it from the local pro Paraphrasing: "Putt when you can, chip when you have to, pitch when you must. Any time you put the ball in the air the penalty for failure dramatically increases" Disclaimer; I'm new, but this^ advise has helped me

51 year old rookie here. This year my wife asked "what do you like for fathers day?" I responded "Golf Balls" (didn't have clubs yet) Having fun, learning, hoping to break a 100 this season. Looking forward to the nonsense here.

My drive is approaching Big Bang velocity. That's a lot of pressure
