AW's golf scores

[AngelsLongBall]

Still working some at the course so don't play as much anymore.  Throwing punk kids off the course is fun though. 

 

Last weeks idiot golfer of the week came in on Sunday.  Stops in the clubhouse and wants to see the manager after 9 holes, it is too hot to play.  I come over and normally do not give rain checks to people who are too stupid to stand outside their front door for thirty seconds before heading to the course but was going to be nice and told him it is pretty damn hot, I will give you a rain check for 9 holes.  He tells me no you don't understand, we are still going to play but want our money back because you didn't tell us how hot it was going to be.....can't make this stuff up and he wasn't joking.   

Was he an idiot, or was he cheap?  I have a friend that I play golf with.  He figures if his experience is impacted, he will say something or write a letter, and most times will receive something comp'd.  Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I guess.  I don't agree with most of his gripes, except the one time they neglected to tell us they'd aerated the course (not that that would have affected my stellar game)

People call all the time asking if I had punched the greens lately.  I tell them come on out, I have only punched kittens lately. 

 

You are right though ALB, there are certain people who when they get up in the morning and golf is on their agenda the course is part of the world that revolves around them that day.  Everyones time and effort is solely meant for their experience.

I am ok with punched greens as long as they are sanded after they are punched.

 

Courses around here always take some money off the rack rate when the greens are punched.

I neglected to mention that if my buddy had frizzy hair and a new york accent he'd be a walking stereotype

We punch once, maybe twice a year depending on how hard the winter or summer was.  It really shouldn't be an issue, golfers should know it is necessary and is for a short time.  If they whine, I cut them a break but not like we have a $250 green fee either.

I do pimp the merchandise though.  I see you looking and it is on sale.  You can move it or it can collect dust.

Played a local par 3 last night with my wife and three oldest kids.  My 8 year shot a 40 and beat my wife by a stroke.  He was all jacked up about it.  We got in the car and she turned to me and said "how did he beat me?"  I laughed and said, "looks like you need to start practicing more than him."

[Crampknees]

81 today with 4 doubles and a triple.  Had a stretch of 5 3's in a row.  I wish I could channel that golfer for a whole round. 

[DW711]

So does everyone else.

[stevestevens]

played yesterday and shot 39 on the front and 39 on the back.  I could not make a 10 footer for the life of me.  I also got a double bogey on 17 which killed my chances on being even on the back 9.

You guys are terrible

I could care less about punched-greens, while playing recreationally (not tournaments).  I think it's great!  For the life of the surface.  And, it keeps the snobs away.  I always play- add two shots once you're on the green (unless your dart landed within a foot).

Got out of work early today and hit up shorecliffs....perfect day for golf if a bit windy. The best thing about my round was the cheeseburger I got at the bar at the turn

Who here has a hole in one?

 

Par 3 courses and x amount of mulligans don't count.

[nate]

Never had one.  Closest I ever got was probably 1-2 inches.

 

Edit: It was on a 135 yard par 3 slightly uphill, greens were really soft.  Hit a 9 iron.

I have two. First one was on the 1st hole at Ironwood. 111 yards,

Next was 12th at Willowick. 157 yards.

 

Ironwood is a pitch and putt (two 4-pars) but the ace still counts.

My grandfather played for 50 years without getting one but he saw both of mine.

 

I saw my brother knock it in from 211 yards but it was technically his 3rd shot (tee shot duck hooked into the woods). Nice par.

[Tank]

never had one. my closest chance was a shot about 18 inches from the cup. that was on a pga course in kansas. as beautiful a track (without an ocean) as you'll find.

[AngelsLongBall]

Hit mine on the par 3 13th at Skylinks on 12/30/12.  Back before they changed all the hole configurations (I think it's hole 5 now).  It was playing 168, hit a 6 iron, didn't see it land (green was misty).  Thought I'd flown the green and was pissed I was going to have to drop a ball.  Playing partner found it in the cup

That's awesome, still waiting on my 1st.

Played with my wife. I shot an 81.....couldn't get anything going. No birdies.

hey, leave the personal stuff at home, bub. besides, with 47 kids, you're telling us stuff we already know.

 

time to leave that poor girl alone for ten minutes.

Headed to the course now...
 
Closest to a Hole in 1 was at Mile Square - Player's Course. 182 Yard Par 3. 5 Iron to 3 inches.

 

[Hollyw00d]

Did you make the putt?
