The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

Played a couple courses around Boulder out there awhile ago. Met up with some locals who were fun to play with. They went into a pasture just off the course and grabbed a dead snake and left it wrapped around the cup for the folks playing behind us. Ya could here their amazements bout the creature as they got nearer the hole. We were rolling laughing. Dude who placed the snake sold real estate.
 
Opening Round today a 43 meh : the highlite very straight drives on all holes , distance not that great averaged about 210 , not much help yet with roll but to be expected early season but had a 35 footer for a bird on the eighth hole , but blew it with two double bogeys .?

Great to get out THIS early 5 weeks earlier than last year

No double bogeys or worse yesterday and flopped one in for birdie playing with some usual suspects. Had a couple other relatively short birdie putts <15’ that just missed. Course is in great shape and starting to get some roll on the drives. Shot 79 but we didn’t keep score and moved it in the ruff. Got to play with a couple legends who are 94 and 88 and still hit em well. The 94 year young one has been shooting under his age everytime for years. First day back at it for him. Have yet to lose a ball this year and have been out for 5 rounds now.
Had a pint on the porch afterwards as it was National Beer Day. Life is good.

Nice round ,great story bout those 2 legends . I occasionally play with a guy 93.who shoots under his age . Last year near end of the season he shot an 87 . The guy is deadly on the green
 
Yup it’s a smooth swing, hits em in the middle. Never gets pissed. Few if any dorfs. Good putter and he chipped one in too, then gave a cheshire grin.
 
Back at it today , beautiful warm mid 70's , straight down the middle off the Tee but still no roll , but played better today a 40 , no dreaded doubles . Greens are slooooow
 
Played Friday and Saturday with the usual suspects. Played well again Friday with just a slight drizzle in the last few holes but Saturday found tree troubles often. Been wearing my golf shoes to the course lately as it’s just easier, instead of “booting up in the lot”. Left my golf shoes at home Saturday and 1/2 the drives had a graceful flair into the trees on the right. Barely broke 90. Couldn’t leave a ball mark on the greens and twas easy to bounce em long. Beautiful day to play. Augusta conditions changed after the rain/lightning delay with most folks leaving shots & putts short. Final round should be fun to watch as always.

Left out the part yesterday about my pushcart wheel. It’s a Sun Mountain from Missoula and has 3 plastic spokes on the one wheel as I already replaced the other with an older metal spoked wheel. Noticed one of the plastic spokes had a 1/2 inch missing where it was supposed to attach to the hub. Got some strapping tape from the assistant pro as no duck tape available and she rolled all 18. The 94 year old whooped me good too and almost aced the 2nd hole then made his 4 footer for birdie. We had 2 94 year olds in our foursome Saturday. Both are amazing and fun and an honor to play golf with.

Conners is talk of the town in Listowel - TSN.ca

Residents of a small town in Southern Ontario were glued to their televisions on Thursday, rooting for a local hero playing on one of golf's biggest stages.
