Benn out of the office for 4 days, so now just getting caught up....Played one of my most fav tourneys over the weekend, the Fox Fire 2Ball. It's 36 holes in one day, 9 holes 2 man best ball, 9 holes alternate shot, (flighted during lunch), then 18 holes of captain-n-mate for the money. All flights pay the same-----my partner and I won our flight which we were glad for but we fell all the way to the second flight . But hey, cash is king, right???

Alot of stiff competition at this touney with 4 state am winners, 3 mid-sate am winners so our gang was stoked when a team from our "crew" won the damn thing. They also got the only skin in the afternoon so drinks were on them ALL NIGHT LONG :beer:

 

[Warp Daddy]

[campgottagopee]

I'm playing Saturday morning with my Dad at Whitetail..we are the second group off at 638AM..the last two times I played with him were late morning with a buddy of his that is slow which meant 5+ hour rounds..I play like crap at such a slow pace..early morning twosomes are the way to do it..

I'm not above shoving a golf club up his ass although he'd probably like that..

Wow..I'd like to play a par 60..I'd probably break 80 for the first time if I was playing well..my Dad played somewhere today..I don't think the ball goes as far with this high humidity

Nice Warp--had a good day for it too.

 

[Warp Daddy]

Nice WarpDaddy!

I participated(played isn't really the word for it) in a golf marathon to benefit our little church school last weekend.
We didn't keep a real score card, but I played 42 holes in 3 hrs. Only one person got more than I did
It twern't purdy!
The weather was cold and damp, and though most were in winter ish clothes I took my jacket off and played in shirt sleeves because I was soooo hot from the speed golf.
The best news of all is that I generated over 1,000.00 for the school.


Needless to say, I had some seriously sore quads and abs on Monday.

nice work!

i don't allow anyone to take pictures of me playing golf. my ego simply can't take the humiliation.

Did you guys read the part where I said
It twern't purdy!

The way I played it so quickly was, I had my mom as my golf cart driver, I'd hit the ball then run to it to hit it again and left my mom to fix my divots, rake my beach and get my club to me.
I only played with a 10* driver, 22* hybrid and a pitching wedge, and this is an easy course.
Using only a few clubs took out the wasted time thinking about which club to use.

I will say this though, even though it was the worst golf I've ever played, it was great at honing skills. I think I'll do a few more rounds with limited clubs to see what I can do to adjust with my skill and not the gear.

 

[Warp Daddy]

I've played somw pretty goofy rules with friends for fun - we play a a round every so often with ONLY 2 CLUBS -- no bags . I use my wedge and a 3 Hybrid . Can drive , approach and putt with hybrid and use the wedge for any finesse around the approach or in the beach

----its fun for a change to mess with the normal routine
