The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

[tirolski]

Last week played a 1 day scramble with teams of four players playing in different sets of 2 golfers switching after 6 holes. Take best score on each hole for each two man scramble. We made 4 birdies 2 eagles and 1 bogey for a -7. (one shot out of the prize pro shop credit $) Eagle held for a skin of ~165$. Also won a hat for old guys longest drive. It surely helped to be permitted to play forward tees. Made 2 eagle putts in same round and is a first for me.

Don't you feel a little dirty playing from the old man tees?

Not in a scramble tournament playin against kids that can really hit it. Gettin to move the ball is more a cheatin feelin though. Could be a name fore a cowboy song.

First day i can actually walk on this ankle without a cane , swelling mostly down now been doing lots of towel stretchs i sure as hell hope i can get back out there by the 15th . Fall golf is the best , it pisses me off to be "on the bench ".

With the cold i had to go one club up , shot a meh 41 but did can a 60 footer for a bird and saved one par on a 35 footer , so all in all satisfied and happy to be out there .

Says you but that still good shooting for us mere mortals. I judge my round by the amount of pars. If I don't get 4 pars on a given nine I don't find it successful. I've only had a handful of nines in the past few months where that hasn't happened. My irons are becoming a problem again. I only had 2 greens in regulation Sunday. Still got my number but it was a scramble. 44/43. I take money with my handicap and pars most weekends.
