what did you shoot today?

[Louie_T07]

Played my first round of 2018. A surprising 34 on the local par 32 course. All things considered, I played very well!

 

[Uncle Azzhole]

Played today for the 3rd time since I started going to the driving range...
83 42/41 8 bogies 1 double bogie and 8 pars. Everything was hitting good but still dont really know my yardages for each club. Hit my 3 wood on most tees, hit my old driver on 3 out of the 4 par 5's. 1st hole is a par 5 and I went to it cold (wasnt going to play, just went to hit balls on the range) good drives each time... 266, 278 and 291 still can really hit it like I used to, pulled muscle on the left side of my back hurts like the dickens when I try to swing fast.

I walked the 1st 9 and had to get a driving cart for the back 9 because of blisters on both heals... Im not used to walking and especially in golf shoes I havent worn in 8 years.

Al in all a good day

82. 42/40. Seems like that 81 or 82 is my "norm" anymore. Today, had some issues with one of the guys in the group. Going to have to learn to block him out. Difficult.
#5, picked up my wedge and towel off the green as we headed back to the carts. "Looks like someone left a club and towel here. I'll turn it in at the clubhouse." All the time he knew it was mine. After he sat down in the cart, began laughing and went to bring my wedge back to me. Banged it off the cart frame a couple times just getting out. "Don't worry! The dings I put in it aren't all that bad!" I'm anal about my clubs and that didn't go over well.
#12, we're on the tee box. I'm getting ready to hit. "Oh, my! Just remembered 'Joe Schmoe' quit his job this week. I think he was a good friend of 'Sam' that works in the clubhouse. You have Sam's cell phone number, don't you?" "Ummm, I always leave my cell phone in the truck while on the course." "Okay, I'll just call the clubhouse." "Can't it wait until we finish?" "I might forget to tell him." That is said while he's dialing the clubhouse on his cell. The clubhouse answers. "Is Sam there? He is? Put him on the phone!" So, when Sam finally comes to the clubhouse phone, he has to go into all this explanation of some yahoo who quit his job. Meanwhile, the entire group was held up waiting for him to hit.
#14 is a par 3. Both carts are parked beside the tee box where you are supposed to park. I'm teed up getting ready to hit. Suddenly, I see my cart driving past the front of the tee box. "Where are you going with our cart??!!" "I'm moving it." "Yes, I can see that. WHY?" "Well, I thought it would be safer on the other side of the tee." No one parks on the grass on the opposite side of the tee box. For some reason, this yahoo decided he didn't like where everyone is supposed to park.
By that time, I just chucked it in. Could have cared less how I scored and just wanted the round over.

One of these days, I just must take a road trip and play golf with some of the Shot Talk group. Need to see if I can inject some of my grouchiness onto you yahoos!!!!!

I totally get this...I am in two groups that have little to no overlap...one is an LA group (Saturdays) and the Sunday group is the Kern group...we live on the LA/Kern county line...the Sunday group can be a giant hassle...not all totally serious players and too much weed smoking...lots of cell phone use, and while I find humor in an old fashioned foor wedge, one of these guys will hit one OB, then go left of left into the woods, be gone for 15 minutes, slash out to 60 yards, get lucky and skull one on, miss the first putt by 5 feet and pick up and announce “double...”.

Sometimes I blow off the Sunday Kern game and show up at one of my LA muni haunts as a single...9 times out of ten get paired up with good folks - 5 hours of fun, then everyone parts...refreshing in a way...

I am totally up for a Shot Talk meet up/road trip...

We've held them in the past, usually Kentucky area? We used to have one every year for the Wisconsin shot talkers. Kind of all died away.

Sounds like he was getting a little too "frisky"?

Vegas is always good...and I can sell that to Mrs Dufferpauly (since she would come)

Today, had some issues with one of the guys in the group. Going to have to learn to block him out. Difficult.

He’s a loudmouthed ignoramus. Life’s too short to play golf with those types. I couldn’t do it. I’d end up warning him about an impending knuckle sandwich if he continued with the shenanigans. Which sorta spoils the whole intention of playing a relaxing round of golf.

If it were me and my buddies insisted on playing with him, I’d find a new group to play with. Life’s too short.

 

[warbirdlover]

Took awhile for the driver to warm up today. 45 on the front. Then everything lit up. 38 on the back. 83. I REALLY beat Mel today.

Dump him...I just dumped my Kern group other than one guy...golf is too important to put up with idiots...

Golf is supposed to be fun.................I'd last about 9 holes with that guy.

 

[limpalong]

82 both yesterday and today. Guess I'm stuck on that number. I know what I need to do to trim a couple strokes... but can't get the body/mind to do it. Guess that's what happens when the mind and body both are 'over the hill'!!

Golf is supposed to be fun.................I'd last about 9 holes with that guy.

As a person, outside of golf, he's a pretty nice guy. I've played with him for almost 20 years. Just this past few months, he has seemed to morph into someone who cannot contain himself. Has to be the center of attention. Out of the entire group of regulars, he is the one who will consistently be shooting upper 90's to even a triple digit now and then. He could play much better if he would only concentrate a little on the game and quit making an idiot of himself. The last few times he's played with the group, he is talking about moving to another group... because he can't compete with our guys. Sounds like some of us may give a gentle nudge!!!

We have two "problems" in the group right now. This guy has a wife that determines his every move. When they were both working, he was fun to be around. Since the have both retired, on top of being extremely controlling, she is a hypochondriac. Has a "health" issue at lease once a week. If she sees a doctor and he/she tell her it's nothing, she doesn't believe them and has to go see another specialist. She tells him when to get up, what to eat, etc. I do believe a significant part of his issues are caused by not knowing how to handle his wife.
The other person has also become difficult to keep in the group. His problems stem from an aged parent... in her 90's... that is confined to a nursing home and doesn't want to be there. She is 6 hours away but calls him day and night. That problem will end itself in due time. In the meantime, his patience if short.

I hope I never get old.
