The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

[tirolski]

Played the tougher ,longer River course today , pretty decent round a 39 with a bird and 4 pars no doubles one 3 putt . Thrill of day a 34 footer for a bird on the 8th . After heavy rains late yesterday afternoon the course was giving nothing and a Sadist

Nice!
Played 27 Wednesday, 18 yesterday and gonna walk another 18 today.
Pins are in some sketchy places now as the course is saving the centers for the upcoming member-guest.
A friends son is a great golfer and a +3 handicap from the blues.
My 12 handicap allowed me to get a shot on every hole but 3 in the league yesterday. He shot a 68 with 4 birds, 1 bogey.
The 3 holes I didn’t get a shot on he made birdie.
I made 2 pars and a bogey on the last 3 holes to “win" the “match” 1 up with an 84.
Amazing golf by him. He’d be a hundred yards past me on some holes & almost aced the short par 4 but went long to the back fringe.
He’s a good guy too.

i would be pissed if i shot 68 and lost.

He makes it up more than enough by collecting $kin$.
All ya ever get in league for winning points is a couple pairs of socks from the pro shop.
He could’ve easily birdied a few more holes.

His 2man team shot a 59 in last years 2 day two man best ball tournament and won it easily going away.
He told me he birdied the 1st seven holes that day and they had missed short birdied putts on the last 2 holes.

Yesterday coulda been a contender but skulled 2 wedges, one into the ditch and one taking off the tops of cattails in the pond 2 holes later.
Hit a lot of my best drives of the year though.
Maybe I should practice more, like Matthias.

Strange round this am on the River course started out with 3 pars , then it was Bogie City till the 9th hole which is a par 3 over a gully and pond . Got off a less than sterling drive ( usually plop in on the green , but this time was about 30 ft off the green , but decided to putt it up close hopefully save a par well The damn thing went in ....about 63 ft to the pin so bird city and another 39.

This time the course Gaveth

40-42 1 bird from the whites yesterday in the beautiful weather before the picnic.
They put new fluffy white sand in all the traps. It used to be a combo of the native rich dirt and sand.
Now ya can get the ball to be a fried egg on a cliff where it used to roll down.
Made 2 doubles by hitting into 2 of them.
A friend who last year had been wheel chair bound for a few months played from the gold tees and made 2 birdies.
Golf is good therapy.

42-37 for a dang 79.
Started the back 444-4444 with a bogey and a birdie in the mix.
We call it a Mattar after a local lawyer who advertises his number on Syracuse TV.
