The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

Hybrids are go to for many now , i have 2,3,4 and 5 in the bag . The 2 is my second shot , the 5 is DEADLY , 4 i use spareingly to keep low run up shots off the back instep IF I AM OBSTRUCTED by a tree ....the 3 is coming out of the bag i seldom if ever use it the 2 which is 16 degrees seems more accurate .
 
Just back strange 9 this am slightly pulled a calf muscle shot a 37 with 2 birds ,4 pars and a dreaded double after i pulled the muscle ( for no apparent reason other than cold wind ) . I went bird ,par , par, bird after the muscle pull WTF ???

Thrill of the day : a bird on that blind dogleg RIGHT , over the swamp wpond and some blocking trees . Hit a decent drive but couldnt see the hole or pin because trees at near end of swamp pond blocking view so took the cart to see pin placement .. used my 9 i choked up on it quite a bit came right down on the ball and stuck the green 2 ft from the pin about a 70 yd shot on the fly

Nice going except for your calf.

Heal well Warp.
 
Tski GOOD FIND , luv that flick !!! I m fine just a minor PIA now , ICY HOT baby It smellsss soooo damn good ???
 
Played the Longer Riverside course today. Shot a 40 , meh was going fine till i buried an approach in the thick. Stuff on the hillside protecting an elevated and undulating green. That fairway is a double fault line hahaha so you seldom get a lie on even ground . So Took the penalty , ended up with a double bogey . Other than that played ok
 
Most exciting thing today was the Enterprise box tuck sheering off a telephone pole left on side of #12.
Corossed over a lane and went off the east side of road a hundred yrs before the stop sign. Don’t think anybody was hurt. They said power went out for a minute. Was a bout a hundred yds from where the pole got hit. Made a helluva boom and ya could see the wires pouncing.
Made a bogey.
About 5 years ago a car ended up on the green on #11 after it rained. Took out some arborvitae. The roads aren’t busy but folks need to pay attention and slow down.
 
1st round of Senior Member Guest (1 best ball of 2) was today. Shot 75, my partner made 4 birdies (he’s amazing). Helped him on 1 hole by making a par when he bogeyed. We’re 3 shots back in the first flight. Leaders of the tournament shot 67 in the championship flight. Great weather, course, food and folks. Final round is tomorrow & should be fun.
 
40/ 37 / 77 today was actually pleased with the frontside 40
It is the more difficult and longer side . On that side i am usually happy with a 41/42

Good luck Tski , have fun
 
Shot the same number 75 as the 1st day and helped my partner more.
Only birdie was on our last hole. Some friends of mine won our flight with a final round 69.
We needed to shoot 66 just to tie for 1st in our flight as we were 3 shots back starting out.

No skins out so they paid all birdies on the #1 handicap hole (par5 4th).
My partner lipped out on a fast downhill 8-foot breaker for bird on it and it was our first hole we played.

Twas a fun, well organized tournament once again.
 
Good effort Tski , downhiller breakers are killer .

Ugh pulled a damn calf muscle last week probabaly from daily over stretching an old groin injury from skiing and kept playing all week and then walking around various Riverfront parks .

Well now im screwed for awhile while this thing heals i shoulda used RICE and not played ........stupid

.Getting old suks sometimes the spirit is willing but the damn old bod rebels
