I figured we could have a thread on golf rounds. I'll go 1st. Played Whirlwind Cattail course today. I was hitting the driver far. Pushing 290-300 75% of...

This one... It used to be the 33rd toughest in the country, except they've built newer courses since this one was built.

That looks like a hard course judging by the scorecard. I may need to put that one on my list.

Bravopilot

Walterjn Read they refer to it as La Piranha

Walterjn

Mattyv by all means do so.
I will be back to play it again after a little while. Gonna go lick my wounds and get better.
Bravopilot LA Piranha, La Punishment.... I'm sure that there are a few that it has been called.
That course are most of the free/ pre-owned balls I took with me yesterday. Glad I listened to a buddy who told me I'd be fine, just take a lot of balls you don't care about.

Go to a driving range, get a bucket for $6 and dump it in your golf bag before you go there next time.

Walterjn

Typhoon that would be more balls than I took originally. Besides, I still have a bunch of free balls I don't care about.

Had a guy on this week's golf trip that did that. One of the courses had water in play on pretty much every hole. I think he stole a dozen to go with what he had and I gave him a sleeve of mine with a few holes left lol.

sdandrea1 Meh....

I love it. I feel the same way when I play. I don't even know what I shot, I just keep track of how many under or over par. . Funny thing is I don't even know what par is at my course, I've never looked.

Typhoon I just keep track of how many under or over par.

I just keep track of how many under or over bogey. I love red numbers. 😁 If I'm in the black, I figure I missed the cut and go to golfbuzz.com for tips. 🙂

What's the format/game your gang plays ? 🤔

Eguller What's the format/game your gang plays ?

Different game every Tues & Friday. Always a 4-man team game. Usually have 9 or 10 teams. Today was team quota based on 36 - course handicap. I had to get 26, team had to get 70 total. Net bogey = 1, par = 2, birdie = 3, eagle = 5. Highest total OVER quota wins.

We play 2 best net balls alot. Bookends a lot.....that's all 4 balls count on 1, 9, 10, 18; 2 best balls on the rest. We mix it up.

Which course was that? He needs a ball retriever in his bag. Lol

KCee

Sneakylong I think it was Westchase? And there was a LOT of water so you would need a boat and scuba gear to get most of the balls lol.

Sounds more like Fox Hollow. Westchase has some water. They used to let a guy come in at Fox Hollow with a small boat and a hydraulic winch with a net and rake the bottom of the ponds. They’d get tons of balls.

KCee

Sneakylong Almost positive it was Westchase, but just almost. First hole was a really short par 4 with water all up the right side. Next hole was a par 5 with a bit of carry over water. 3rd hole was short par 3 over a gorge with....water. I think I remember at least 15 holes having water in play lol. I do remember Fox Hollow having a fair amount of trouble, but it was still a bit cold and windy that day so keeping my hands warm was my main problem.

77 at Timber Greens. Had one birdie. Won one match and lost two. Didn’t win any greenies. Tied the two hole leftover match.

Lost $5.00. In our 6,6,6 game it’s all about ham and egging it. You can play well and lose money and play not so well and win money.

Meatball sub and a cup of loaded potato soup for lunch. It was cold this morning. Temperature wise not terrible, but low 50’s and no sun with a cold raw feel made it uncomfortable. But we survived.😎

You just described my golf trip. I beat one of my buddies, same handicap, EVERY round and he wound up our leading money winner while I finished 6th or 7th out of 8. He somehow managed to pair well with every B player in various formats. I was the leading birdie maker, but of course we had no bet for that because we assumed our lone low single digit guy would win it easily lol.

85 at Twisted Oaks. Meh......
