How did you shoot today at Golf

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...

garyt1957 I still say they're luck.

Of course they are. Most of us are just hoping to hit the green. The odds of finding the hole are low! I've had 4 aces and none of them were perfectly struck shots. One of them was downright shitty. I don't consider it an accomplishment as much as something that happened to me. 👍😉

I will be the oddball on this. My one and only came on a very well struck shot right at the pin. Two hops and found the cup!

sdandrea1 that's a good way to put it. My wife was more excited than I was. It's nice to have one just to say you do.

I still contend that there was some luck involved in the ball finding the hole. 😉

My one and only HIO was pured and right at the flag. I thought it was too long when I hit it. When we got to the green we found out that it went into the hole on the fly.

76 (38-38) at Heritage Harbor. No birdies. Had 14 pars and 4 bogeys. One of those days when everything performed well. Lag putted fine, but the few makeables for birdie didn't fall. Bermuda greens were slower than what we're used to.

Just two of us today. Went out at 7:07 and were done at 10:10. Just a gorgeous morning.

The only time a HIO is luck is if it is off line and strikes some object that caroms it back into play and into the hole. Shithouse luck, I believe they call it.

Standing on a (ex.)150 yd. Par 3 hole, a person will pull the club they hit(maybe) 150. They are looking at the green and intend to hit the ball towards that green and cup. If it does go towards the green, and it goes in....HIO, that was an intended shot, no other way to look at it, esp. as "luck".

It just makes it that much clearer as to how many 'pure' shots we may hit in a lifetime. Golf.....is a bastard game.

42/44 today. Quite happy with that after shooting 98 last Wednesday in the senior league. The only thing consistent is how inconsistent I am. Last time out the only iron shots I got onto the green were 70-80 yard wedges, but today I hit it to 2 feet from 130 and 6 feet from 150. (And didn't miss the birdie putts.) But then I double bogeyed 17 and 18, lol.

#18 really pissed me off. Three putted from 10 feet. 🙃

Yeah, one of the guys in our old quota group had one of those. It bounced off a bunker rake and took a 45 degree turn into the hole.

Still waiting for my first, but I don’t want of one of those. 😏 Had a chance at one yesterday. Smoked an 8 iron to a back flag (140) and yelled my typical "drinks!!!"

Ball disappeared from view, but when we got up there it was 5 yards past the hole just off the green. Sometimes I yell, "be the right club today!!!"

For awhile I thought I was jinxing myself so I didn’t yell anything.😐 But now I’m back yelling. 😲
Might need a new yell. Like "get in the hole you bastid!!!"

It's pure luck every time I hit the ball.😜

Walterjn hole in one, or wife??

They're both nice to have

Walterjn

garyt1957 so does that mean 2 hole in one, 2 wives???

rsvman2

Sneakylong Did it carom off a standing rake, or one that was on the ground?

When I was a teenager I watched a guy blade an 8-iron right into a standing rake. It then bounced off the rake at just the right angle and speed to roll right into the hole.

It was ridiculous.

You definitely need to stop yelling this. It's got to be a jinx. 🙂
