My Delemma

[warbirdlover]

When I golf with strangers all is okay because I won't probably ever golf with them again and I shoot okay. The problem is when I golf with nut or others that I know I'm trying to prove to them that I can shoot these scores. I doubt nututhugame believes I can for instance because I've never done it with him that I can recall. Heck, if it were me I wouldn't believe I could do it based on what I've seen. That's my dilemma.

Solution, quit golfing alone.

 

[warbirdlover]

And never again shoot good scores.....

Tell everyone that you normally shoot around 110.

Drink liquor and have sex before every round.

 

[eclark53520]

Drink liquor and have sex with me before every round.

That's awkward...

That's awkward...

Stop forcing your fantasies on others.

I BEAT MY DELEMMA! I've been shooting outstanding (by myself) for me lately. 85, 84, 85, 80. The back nine of the 80 I was one over going into the last hole and of course double bogeyed it. Today I finally went out with my son-in-law who normally shoots close to my scores. It was his first time out so he had a 49 and a 48. I shot a 42 on the front and a 40 on the back! With someone along with me! Eureka! SIL (Lee) and I don't hit mulligans or cheat since we are usually close and we compete. Got him by 15 strokes! Whoo hoo! I have a witness! Had an old couple as witness to my 80 but didn't get their names.

I have this same problem , I'm too competitive. I know I can shoot low to mid eighties..... alone..... When I play with others, I go to hell. I can not shake the thought of people watching. Last weekend I shot 94, went back the next day by myself and shot 84. Very frustrating, I feel your pain.

I'm playing so much this summer (and getting paired with strangers) that I think I'm beating this thing.

I play better usually with strangers or by myself. When I was with E and Fitz my putting was embarrasing and pretty much so was the driver. What I did compared to what I can do with driver is laughable, but ya have to hit the ball with the center of the face... and I didn't. Trying to kill it or something... I don't know. The putting really irks me though. Last year I was a consistently decent putter. It would save me sometimes. Either way, I am trying to find small chunks of time here and there just to get reps in with the putter and wedges, trying to get back to where I was or even better. In front of anyone or nobody.

nut, try a short putter with a big grip on it. It's amazing.

43" Belly #7 cut to 36" w/oversize Winn. Didn't really do anything outstanding. Pulled Winn. Cut to 33 1/2". Installed SuperStroke Fatso. Wow! The belly head and what's left of the shaft adds weight. I've probably got a little over a dozen rounds on it. I've not putted this well in years. Scramble, last weekend. Made some 15 to 20 footers that had the others in the group wondering if the putter was even legal.

That's one advantage of getting to our age, WBL... No matter how many times we've played with folks we tee it up with, to us they're strangers. Memory is one of the first things to go.....
