Rare indeed !!!! An Albatross takes some serious skill i have a good friend who got one few years ago on a 525 yd par 5. I have nothing but huge respect for THAT Kind of skill , much more difficult than the two Aces i shot ( 125 and 158 yds respectfully ). Hey you CAN get lucky on any one shot but TWO in a row that is simply uncanny . The funny thing is my friend used a Choked Driver off the deck for his?
 
Back at it today had a decent 38 on the tougher of my two courses early this morning . I wwas satisfied ' but could and should have been even par had two just "lip out " putts for bogies .4 days away was a good thing .Fairways are nice and green now for the first time in awhile .
 
I got a call that the clubs I ordered in May are in. Going to test them out later today. LOL I really don't expect to do better but its still fun getting new sticks.
 
New gear is fun , but my mentor told me years ago "its NOT THE ARROW , it 's The Indian ? "

I have been playing for 15 years on CLONES ( Taylormade by Pinemeadow golf ) for 6-Pw , SW and AW irons and 2,3 ,4 and 5 hybrids and a second hand Cobra Bio Cell adjustable Driver and Bio Cell adjustable 3 w bought at Global Golf

The ONLY new club i bought full price was my Ghost Manta putter

Shot 79 today 40/39 had two 3 putts ugh,nice day tho, sunny and 69 degrees course was busy .

Unusual year thinking I haven't had to hit out of a sand trap yet after 33 rounds .Now that will probably happen ?
 
Absolutely Stunk on the greens today , shot a 40 but too damn many 3 putts again . I am NOT seeing the breaks right around the cup and had two lip outs when the strofoam noodle in the cup just skittled the damn ball out. Be glad when the cups are clean again
