Ok... I played golf yesterday afternoon... it's been ages, but I did
ok
against three guys who play a lot. I scored 64 on the 9 holes and came
in
third by 1 hit (he lost 3 balls in a small lake on one hole). My best
first
shot was about 170 yards dead straight (with cheering from the guys)
using
a
#1, and I got 1 par on a par 3. Oh, and the clubs were borrowed.
Some kids had a toy sailboat on the pond, so this post is on-topic. 
Golf is great if you throw away the score card, only remember your
good shots and enjoy the day out in a nice park that lets you drive a
cart and hit balls with a stick.
Take plenty of ammo and don't waste a lot of time chasing balls that
went into the woods. (think dollar store, $10 for 2 dozen)
Another tip. Tee up every shot. It makes you look like a pro when you
pop that ball up out of the sand with your driver and go 200 yards
from a fairway trap. Tiger can't do that. ;-)
If anyone complains just tell them to assess the proper number of
penalty strokes ... oops you don't have a score card.
Gotta keep score... that's what we do! (lawyers)
FYI, I didn't lose a single ball.
You didn't lose the 3 in the lake, you know right where they are. ;-)
I did a classic "Tin Cup" the last time I played. I hit 3 or 4 in the
lake from the same tee before I finally got one over.
I do play from the blue tees. I paid for the whole course. I am
playing it.
I get a lot more golfing for my money. Those other guys only get to
hit 80 or 90 shots. I hit 150 or more. If I don't like a shot, I tee
up another one and hit it.
You're the guy that makes the rest of us hail the course marshall...
Please tell us what the hell that foursome is doing ahead of us that
takes so bleedin' long!!!?
We play fast. Not looking for balls and screwing with bad lies more
than makes up for hitting another ball.
We also play "ready golf" When you get to your ball you hit it.
Most of the time when I play, the course is deserted anyway. If you
start after lunch in Florida in the summer, everyone else is gone
home.
When someone does come up behind us, if they don't have anyone behind
them, we will loop back behind them, replaying the previous hole. That
gets you a 20 hole day.
Yeah, but perhaps some holes are best only played one time.. lol
