Two summers ago, my dad spent 3-4 months going back and forth from hospital to rehab. Sadly, it was his cholesterol meds causing muscle atrophy that kicked it off. At any rate, we weren’t sure he would be around very long let alone play golf again. Long story short, my son and I played a round with him this past summer, and he whipped us both. Never say never.

7i from the wrong fairway on 10. Always good to hit one like this with an audience. +9 on the back with triples on both par 3s.

I shot 101 ending with three triples and a double on the last 4 holes. Needless to say, I’m out of shape and ran out of gas. I have to brag on my friend who shot a 79 on a par 71 course. I think he drags me out when he needs someone to beat up on. 🤣

I have to back out unfortunately. My back is jacked up, so no golf for me. 😞 -

That works for me. -
Anyone Have Eclipse Day Plans? Golf? Hideout in a Bunker?

It is pretty rough. 😁 -
It was a bit chilly for my tastes today, but with the upcoming golf outing, I went out and played with my son and his friend. 50 out and 48 in. Not bad for only playing 5 times in the last 2.5 years.

I took the day off. We're going to ride the bike up to Piqua Harley Davidson for their watch party. -

You could sell some blood plasma for some extra cash. 🙃 -
I’m waiting approval for another cortisone shot, but it sounds like I’m headed for another knee surgery. I feel your pain, literally.

@StuM Correct. It’s a few hours and Sunday is my wife’s BDay. If not, I would be in for both days. @Jeremie Boop You gonna make it? -

@StuM sorry for the delay. I've been working on the project from hell at work. I am in for Saturday but not Sunday. -

@StuM I’m interested. -
As @iacas said earlier, I wonder what the ROI is. Will this save money in the long run. If the ball reacts the same, I’m all for it. No more aeration!

I’m trying to get my house on the market and move back down that way. Do you mean Rachel’s Steakhouse in Casselberry?

I don’t know how Rory didn’t pull a groin on his second bunker shot. 😮
-
Sure. I may not like it, but courses should be allowed to do it. If your typical muni did it, most players would ignore it like they often do with off course OB.

I’ve used the phrase, Tale of Two Nines many times over the years. There’s usually 1-2 bad holes on the bad 9. I also note that things often come apart when I run into slow groups where I have to wait around between shots. At the end of the day, I’ll take a 41-52 round over 50-50 round.

I feel your pain, literally. My left knee finally feels good, so I stepped up exercise routine over the last month. My first goal is to get back down to my pre-surgery weight. Unfortunately, I had to skip out on a golf event last weekend because my right knee and ankle were killing me. It suck’s getting old. Hang in there @StuM!

What’s a mulligan? 😝

I was impressed with her composure down the stretch. It was fun to watch. -
Open Spot in My Bag: Fill it or Leave it?

I recommend a chainsaw. 😉 -
In a scramble I played a few weeks back, we donated money to play up a set of tees on most holes. On one par 4, I was pin high left of the green and a few others we had pitches less than 20 yards. It was certainly fun, but I would say that those tees were too short. I’m thankful that I’m not ready for the senior tees yet. =]

Yesterday was my first day back on the golf course since knee surgery. My surgeon said he wants me to start pushing it at my follow-up the week before. The good news, the knee felt pretty good afterwards. The bad news, everything else hurt. They had a taco bar after the outing, and I asked if they had an Ibuprofen bar. 😃 It was a charity scramble to support a scholarship fund and to bring awareness to addiction and mental health issues. About $10K was raised, and a good time was had by all. This was a great way to ease back in since I didn't always have to deal with my mess. The first few holes were pretty shaky off the tee. The first tee shot was a double cross into a field. After some not so stellar shots from my teammates, we were left with 200+ to the green on a par 4. We were in deep trouble after some other dribblers by the team, but fortunately I hit a decent 3w pin high to the right. My short game was pretty rough for the first nine holes, so we ended up with a bogey. Pretty soon I was nailing the driver down the middle with rock hard fairways leaving us with a lot of shots inside of 100. We started on 16, and when we turned to 1, I drove to 10 yards short of the green. We finally got a birdie! I do have to admit that I paid the donation to move up a tee box. It was only a 10-20 yard difference on most holes though. I even drove the green on a par 4 after donating to tee up from the red tees. I'll take it though. I think I was most happy with my short and mid irons. I had a lot of shots that were pin high GIRs. I would rather not discuss my putting. The greens were VERY shaggy, so I'm blaming it on that. It was nice to be back out there, and most importantly, the knee feels fine today!
