  1. I will have to play this by ear but likely won't make this one.  After the golf and all day Saturday I have to go see my mom. She was at a nice assisted living place in San Luis Obispo for years but her alzheimers has gotten so bad she was wandering off and we had to move her to a nursing home in San Fernando Valley.   Gotta make the drive from OC up there a couple days. 

     

    I am sure after Friday and Saturday my beer gut will have expanded to the popping point anyway. 

  2. Girls at the golf course just reach in cart and hand me a beer, I always tip them.  Depends on where you are at and how you get to know people sometimes. I don't tip at McDonalds but in general always leave a tip.  Most the time I have enough cash to leave the tip in cash if using a card.  I always think that helps them but not sure if that makes any difference.

     

    Where I get confused tipping is when it has the gratuity already added onto the bill. 

  3. Ya Tyler, the guy I played with we just jelled well and we ended up shooting much better because we had no expectations and were having fun. The lower handicap guys got frustrated with themselves. I normally shoot from 80 to 90 any given time depending on the course. I play well in scrambles because I don't worry about my own score and have fun.

  4. I haven't played a round by myself in longer than usual but did play a two-man, 2-day tourney other day. They only let in 28 players so it was low-key and drew for partners so I ended up with the 25 handicap to go with my 13.  The guy with the 25 was pretty bad but may have been less than 25.  We played a shamble first day and shot 76 having to use 9 of his tee shots. Next day it was a regular scramble and shot 69 and we were paired with a 1 and 5 handicap and beat them.  Those guys may have cheated themselves the other way.  The guy who was a 1 could kick my ass but you still need to wow me more to be an actual 1.  The guy who was a 5 I was keeping up with.  They were probably more like 5 and 12....least they didn't sandbag.  Won $60 first day and $120 second day after $100 entry.  it was for a church, I gave all my winnings back. 

     

    First time I played a shamble but I like scrambles better.

  5. I have bad knees and when the pain starts flaring up, I have to sit out a hole or two. I ended up playing eleven holes yesterday, and the 57 is my score for those holes.

    And I did eat a hot dog yesterday. It was pretty good.

    Loaded up a hot dog with everything other day and had to get to 10th tee.  Took off in cart driving and holding it in my left hand and gust of wind came up and slammed the plate into my face and all over the front of me.  I ate a hot dog also. 

  6. kurt, let's go the other direction with this. i'll just phone in my score for each hole based on the how i play the hole in my head while our meeting tries to answer the burning issue of whether or not we should use glue sticks or regular glue.

     

    i'll going to join twitter just so i can all of you updated on this raging debate. stay tuned.

    When you put it this way then you are on our team.  I will just text you and say "it's your putt" then you text back "made it".  Just let me know which par-4s you drove the green before. 

  7. I know this will be crushing news for each of you, but I just got the news that my daughter has registration that Friday and I have meetings and obligations I can't miss, thus making me unavailable to play in this tournament.

    The good news is that any one of you now has a chance to win.

    Tank, this is the information age.  We can just phone or conference you in for that stuff from the cart. 

  8. I've really made an effort to grip the club as loose as possible lately. Haven't played a round but have been hitting the ball better than ever at the range.

     

    It has really helped me in that the lighter grip keeps my whole body relaxed through the swing. I'm not dropping my back shoulder nearly as often nor nearly as dramatically. 

     

    Lost a bit of distance, but I'll take a more accurate ball flight every time.

    Light grip is the key for us duffers.  I have been practicing it a lot also.  Everything goes well until about 6 inches from impacting the ball I go right back to white knuckles squeezing.  All my hard pulls are from the grip.
