And this reality is unreal!
Made a tee time for tomorrow. First time out since I injured my ankle and knee a month ago. I hope that my reality is that I can make it through 9, without a problem. I don't care what my score will be.
Now you’re a guy I like to play with, but we would be playing the back nine. But first we have to pound a few at The 19th hole.I went out and played 9: yesterday in the brutal heat. I had been itching to play since there were so many things I had been wanting to try. I told myself that if I had a legitimate chance at breaking 100 that I would play the back 9. I struggled quite a bit. Then I got to the ninth hole which has always been my nemesis. I absolutely crushed (by my standards) my drive into the fairway. My second shot was my 5 wood which I have been struggling with. To my surprise I hit that thing further than I ever have to put myself within chipping distance. I had a pretty shitty chip but it still out me right in the fringe for a birdie attempt. I got it about a foot from the hole and took my first par on that hole but finished with a 55. I was really tempted to keep playing because I felt like I turned a corner but stuck to the plan and went home.
Me too, prolly with a mulligan or two.I can do that and I don't have a PGA card.
In all the rounds that I've played over the years the closest I've came to a hole in one was 3 inches. And I've never played with anyone who has made a hole in one.
My brother in law has had 2 and I know many people, including myself, who are better golfers than he is.
It sucks to have an eagle that you don't see go in, or even a birdie. One time on a par 5 I hit my 3rd downhill blind from about 140. I knew that I had a good line and felt it should be on or close to the green. When we got down to the green, I couldn't find my ball. There was a guy working on a bunker and I asked him if he saw my ball come down. He said " nope but did you check the hole". I laughed and said, " ya, sure". But when I looked, sure enough it was in the hole.I don't have one either. Had one peaking at a Detroit fireman's outing 20 years ago. I have watched 3. Two as a caddy and one as a playing partner. They guy skulled his tee shot and it was never more 3 feet off the ground. It was also never off line either. I do have a double eagle that I didn't see go in the hole. The people I hit into (accidentally) saw it. They were none too happy either. Kinda schmucks. I was at least 325 out (so far I didn't consider hitting anything else so it must have hit a sprinkler head or yardage marker. I have never been able to hit a 3 metal that far before or since.
325 yard 3 iron? they'd never beelieve that with out my little vid of you on the 1st tee.I don't have one either. Had one peaking at a Detroit fireman's outing 20 years ago. I have watched 3.

Same for me about 3 inches. Are we talking about how far we are from the hole? I hope so. No seriously it was a golf course in Agawam Massachusetts and it was like an elevated 135 yard par three. I hit a nine iron a country mile in the air and it landed right next to the hole and never moved. Put a dent right in the green.

They knew it was a stupid lucky shot as they couldn’t see us either. Dog leg hole. They were on the next tee and told us it went in and asked what our rush was. I told them I didn’t think I could could reach. That was it. No congrats or anything.It sucks to have an eagle that you don't see go in, or even a birdie.

Holy shit man, 325 for a double eagle!!! I assume that you told those guys the distance and it was your 2nd shot.They belong in the asshole hall of fame if they didn't congratulate you.

I use to attest for a pro am tournament we held annually and that happens more often then you think lol.Rickie Fowler shot a 9 on the par 4 18th yesterday. I can do that and I don't have a PGA card.
Can’t say I haven’t done that many times.Rickie Fowler shot a 9 on the par 4 18th yesterday. I can do that and I don't have a PGA card.
