I got 3 pars playing 18 on Saturday for the first time on my life. But all the triple bogeys really fucked me hard.
The young couple that got paired with us @Tequilla was playing music in the cart. I was chill and didn't give them too much crap.
One of the pars Teq was on 17.

I think the last time I played 17 I pretty much skull fucked an iron into and off the back bank and it came back onto the green ... fortunately the pin was in the back and I had a tap in par
17 is easily one of the best holes at your humble club ... short pins give you a scoring club but zero margin for error on the miss short/left/right whereas deep pins can give you a nice backstop to play long IF you are able to execute your shot. -
Pin placement on Sat was lower green just like in this pic. I hit the upper green with my 7 iron. Got lucky on the read on very long put going down hill and had a makeable par put.Tequilla said:I think the last time I played 17 I pretty much skull fucked an iron into and off the back bank and it came back onto the green ... fortunately the pin was in the back and I had a tap in par

I usually have epic melt downs on most Tetherow holes but somehow this one came together for me.
Consistency is what make a great golfer. -

I was playing on Friday and had a stretch of 7 hole that I played at 1 over with 3 putts that lipped out ... it wasn't that I necessarily played great in that stretch but I wasn't making mistakes that I couldn't overcome
I'm pretty convinced that I could shave 2-3 shots off my handicap by just being smarter in my decisions on the course ... and it's an area that I tend to think I'm better at than most people that I play with -
Hero ball rarely works in golf
Music in the cart always works -
Luckily for me, I never cared about LIV's Saudi backing.
Others are going to be in a bit of moralistic pickle moving forward. I guess Phil was right.

Money talks. Norman gave his life again for the players. Word is that he is out.
I'm glad to see Brooksie back. Mike Salk wondering what happened to green washing was amusing this morning. It was never about principle. It's about money

Well that's more than a little surprising, and not at all what I expected to happen in 2023.
Phil sure seemed right. Had to be some info in Discovery of all the lawsuits that no one wanted to ever see the light of day.
