Hey, who here likes to GOLF? :music:
:bingo:
I have a tee time today at 2:23 p.m. EST, and I began to wonder who among us are big-time golfers? By that, I mean folks that LIKE to hack it up regularly during the season ... not necessarily just the scratch players / pros.
I'm usually happy with a couple/few pars, an occassional birdie, and generally bogey golf (mixed in with a handful of double-boges in any given round). 8's and 9's really piss me off, as do "four putts". :o
Usually I start off awful, hit a groove and do really well for a stretch, and then tank it again toward the end (of 18 holes). Always have my eye out for the beer cart, but am a stickler for the rules, and never play a "preferred lie" or cheat in any form.
Been considering a new set of Pings and/or a Big Bertha™ driver for a few years, and may just get one or both this year ... my "sticks" are pretty old.
I got hit in the chest once by some dork off another tee who didn't yell "Fore!" and I won two "closest to the pin" awards in tournaments on the 18th holes (par three's). Some guy in front of me once threw all his brand new clubs in the pond and about ten grown men went swimming for 'em. I put five in a row in the drink once (on the same fricking hole/day), and just missed a hole in one the next day (on the same freaking hole!). Crazy sport!
Share your golf stories and love here, and have a great weekend folks!
