Typhoon That happens at our course. They have 2, but one doesn't have the metal plate and you can usually tell which 9 was done with which.....except when they don't use the plate with either hole cutter.

Cracks me up because for 2+ seasons now they have been using new hole locations to let the standard pin locations heal.

    Weirfan I use something similar, only my Skechers are slip in. I meant to say, no more shoestrings for me. However, my golf shoes are FootJoy and tie.

      I shot 40-39-79 this morning at Maumee Bay State Park in Oregon, OH. Didn't play all that great, but chipped and putted VERY well, which was good, b/c this Arthur Hills links style course is one of the toughest we play (used to host the US Open local qualifier there!). Only 4 GIR, but 27 putts and 1 birdie!!

      I think I'm going to try and sneak out today when I leave the hospital. Should gohome and sleep but I can sleep when I'm dead I guess. Damn, just saw rain in the forecast for later.

        A bit of a strange round for me today - mixed results in terms of ballstriking, but the bad ones ended up in decent places and my short game was working well (several chips and pitches that ended up close). Add in a few nice putts from mid-range, and a real bonus on the 13th (25 feet with about 4 feet of break, with the ball going into the hole sideways), and I had 21 putts in a one-under 67.

          DonM Nice! What’s your best at that course?

          I've had a 66 from the yellow tees (which are the normal everyday tees), and 68 from the white/back tees. I did have a 64 early this year, but that was on a short winter course.
