Cold here! We had snow in the Santa Cruz mountains a couple days ago.
Forecast possible 2000’ snow level tonight. But very little precipitation
forecast.

More like 88 here but good for you folks. Any day you can get out on
the course is not a bad day.
We were out in the boat. This is the sweet time for us. It is warm
enough that my wife likes to go fast and the water is still too cold
for manatees so we can.
On top of that I got 20 gallons of gas at Shell for 88 cents a gallon
with my rewards card and the 80% off gas card.

I disagree. I have no trouble keeping up with two players in a cart. Now, if it's just me and one
player in a cart, then he'll be waiting on me a bit - unless he's just a slow golfer.

I suppose it really depends on if the guys in the cart play "ready
golf". My guys play pretty fast and they complain that I only drive
one speed, pedal to the medal.
I agree there are plenty of cart folks who stand around scratching
their ass a lot, park the cart on the wrong side of the green and
don't go when they get in it. .

We won't be seeing Manatees here until April. They are starving and
swimming around in their own poop up at the power plant right now.
He is not as interested in dolphins as Ed was tho. We haven't really
had one blow right next to the boat yet.
He also hasn't been jumping out as much as Ed did but I expect that
will change as soon as he gets more comfortable with the boarding
platform. It has been cool enough that we have not really encouraged
having a big wet dog rubbing against us.

If you're by yourself in a cart, I'd have a hard time keeping up with you unless it was a 'cart path
only' day. We all play 'ready golf', but keeping up with two guys in a cart is not a problem unless
they are really good golfers, i.e. hit the ball down the middle each time.

It is not as important that you hit down the middle as it is that both
people in the cart hit in generally the same spot. You don't want a
hooker and a slicer in the same cart. We also don't waste much time
looking for balls that are off the fairway unless we are already
backed up. When they clear it is "drop a ball and hit it" time.

We honestly don't ask folks if they're 'hookers' or 'slicers'. Most of us aren't consistent enough

rough. We normally do look for balls a bit, lost ball strokes add up.

A league of my own ;-)
I also have no problem "improving my lie", teeing one up in the
fairway or simply skipping putting out a hole if I am just going too
slow that day. Sometimes I get back on track on the next tee.

golf". My guys play pretty fast and they complain that I only drive
one speed, pedal to the medal.
I agree there are plenty of cart folks who stand around scratching
their ass a lot, park the cart on the wrong side of the green and
don't go when they get in it. .

If you're by yourself in a cart, I'd have a hard time keeping up with you unless it was a 'cart path
only' day. We all play 'ready golf', but keeping up with two guys in a cart is not a problem unless
they are really good golfers, i.e. hit the ball down the middle each time.

It is not as important that you hit down the middle as it is that both
people in the cart hit in generally the same spot. You don't want a
hooker and a slicer in the same cart. We also don't waste much time
looking for balls that are off the fairway unless we are already
backed up. When they clear it is "drop a ball and hit it" time.

We honestly don't ask folks if they're 'hookers' or 'slicers'. Most of us aren't consistent enough
with our mistakes to get the label. I assume when you say 'fairway', you're including the mowed
rough. We normally do look for balls a bit, lost ball strokes add up.

I don't count strokes. I just hit the ball.


You're not playing in a league.


A league of my own ;-)
I also have no problem "improving my lie", teeing one up in the
fairway or simply skipping putting out a hole if I am just going too
slow that day. Sometimes I get back on track on the next tee.


Ha! That's the kind of golf I enjoy. If I play with someone who takes it too seriously, it takes some of the fun out of it, at least for me.

Hope y'all weren't holding up the real golfers.

Guys in carts go faster than walkers. That is why high volume courses
require carts.

I disagree. I have no trouble keeping up with two players in a cart. Now, if it's just me and one
player in a cart, then he'll be waiting on me a bit - unless he's just a slow golfer.

I suppose it really depends on if the guys in the cart play "ready
golf". My guys play pretty fast and they complain that I only drive
one speed, pedal to the medal.

We are always in a competition in the league. We are required to enter our scores in the Golf
Handicap and Information Network provided by the USGA, so we try to follow the rules. I'll have to
admit we take 'gimmees' when putting, but much of the reason there is to speed play. ;)

But we have fun!

I just like getting out in the fresh air and hitting the ball. If I
find it, great, if I don't I tee one up from where I wanted it to go
and hit that. (I don't always tee up on the fairway but sometimes I
do)

You still get just as much fresh air looking for a ball in the woods!

With the added excitement of snakes and alligators ;-)
Usually we just don't want to hold up the course over a 40 cent golf
ball. If there is nobody behind us we will look around and usually
come up with several balls.
At my wife's club, they were so interested in keeping the course
moving that they gave away balls in the pro shop. The contract divers
kept what they found in the lakes but the grounds keepers threw the
ones they found in a barrel in the pro shop. I assume the club pro
sucked out all the Pro Vs before they made it to the barrel
They were moving over 200 rounds a day through the course, even on
short winter days.

Like you've said, you don't worry about a score. There's one course up here that gave away a dozen
golf balls when the round was played. I lost almost the entire dozen. General's Ridge. Mean golf
course.
