Unfortunate Turn of Events

[Duckhook Mallard]

Okay - get this. First I move into a new house and it takes about 5 weeks to get the internet connection going. Long story - first it was on then it was off. . . .HOA issue, basically HOA's blow. No offense to any HOA presidents out there. . . but I'm sorry they just plain blow.

To compound that - my company went on this McCarthy-like crackdown of frivilous internet usage. So here I am - two months since my last post whimpering out of the fall golf season, NFL week seven, and the sox laying the smackdown on the evil empire. . . . . with about a half hour of quality internet access a week - - - - my father in law's dial up. Good times, good times.

What did the world do before the almighty world wide web?

Anyway- I'm back. . . . . sorry to abandon the board just as it started to take off, but I'm live at the house now. . . giddy up!

So anyway - here's my golf related question. . . . .

How is it that I have two rounds scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday. . . . .Saturday I play a VERY difficult course and play out of my mind - shoot a hard fought 83. . . . I'm a player right??? Hell I'm even thinking I should start looking on Ebay for some musclebacks. . . . . Sunday, not more than 18 hours later. . . I play like I've never seen a golf club.. . . . at the local muni no less? Quit keeping score on about 11. . . . . Unbelievable.

As soon as I start feeling like I got it together. . . . Golf sends me a not so subtle reminder that I need to show the game some respect. I'm convinced that ''Ole Man Par' is a vindictive masochist . . . .

I can't wait to take him on again Saturday. . . .

How do you know it's a "he", you masogenist?

Just joking. Welcome back. Hug your daddy, or your daddy-in-law for giving you the 1/2 hour a day.

I hate it, but for most of us mortals this is golf. I've watched myself and the guys I play with all go through periods of outstanding play followed by horrific play and back to good again.

Welcome back & good luck with the HOA. They can be a challenge. uke:

What up, Mallard? Long time, no read.

My suggestion is when you start to have a crappy round after a good one, just enjoy the walk through nature....

Don't get down on yourself. Nothing is automatic. Not even the internet. :thumbup:

Good to have you back.

Thanks all - its good to be back.

know what Rock? I actually did end up enjoying the afternoon - it was a nice stroll. . . . . We were all playing bad - at the turn we filled our bags with a delicious blend of chilled barley and hops - - not to mention a few mulligans

Honestly - how can I argue about playing golf two days in a row in October.


crow - good point. I never really thought about that. If old man par or the proverbial "golf gods" are actually women, it explains quite a bit doesn't it?

[bdcrowe]

Yup. It is no coincidence that my worst rounds are wrestled time from the wife. Either the golf gods are actually a rotating chamber of our wives, or a goddess who our wives have tremendous pull with. For you single, unattached guys out there, you have no excuses. Ya'll just suck.

Welcome back Duck!

All's well that ends well, eh, wot?
