Golf Thread

[rj1002]

Notice that golf and Nascar are being dissed in the main title here. I have no interest in Nascar, but I thought we should have a golf thread.

After sex, it's my favorite activity. Am I alone in this?

[OICurready4me]

I love playing golf also. I'm not very good but just getting out there, in the sun, walking the course and enjoying the outdoors, as frustrating as the game can be, is actually very relaxing to me. I'm anxious to be able to play again after taking a hiatus due to back surgery. Right now, I have to rely on Tiger Woods PGA on my Wii.

What's life without golf?

Tee times tomorrow at 7:15 and 2:30 :)

36 holes in one day! I'm both jealous and in awe!

[rj1002]

Last time I played, I would have had a pretty good score, except that my fairway shots (3-woods or hybrid 3-irons) on the par 5's and long par 4's just killed me, costing me at least 5 strokes.

So this morning I make a point of hitting a few at the range before my round. Came into play on three par 5's and hit the 3-wood like a champion, almost hitting two of them and leaving a lob wedge to a third.

So why is it that, when you fix one part of your game, something else always falls apart. The three par fives mentioned above - one par and two bogies. Five fricking three putts in 18 holes! This is a really stupid game. Fortunately, I'm pretty stupid, so it all works out.

Man...I hear your frustration. I'm an average golfer on my best days, and find myself quite frustrated for 17 holes. Yet...there is always that one hole, or one shot that makes me call for another tee time.

I actually found myself playing for my first ever under par 18 the other day. I'm on 18, sitting at one under (without mulligans), and my heart started racing, my hands started sweating, and my entire body started shaking. Do I really need to tell you the outcome? Par 4 - triple bogey

You got to love a game that humbles you...:)

I'm still pissed. I was going to go down to San Diego to watch. How often to you get a chance to go to a US Open? But it was over Father's Day weekend and couldn't get away.

BTW - Shawn - Have you ever played Torrey? For you it's dirt cheap. I played there once and I think the out of town green fee required a second mortgage on my house. You San Diegans should be more hospitable to your neighbors from the north.

Never been in that situation, but have had a chance to break par for 9 holes - twice. First time was on a front nine, with a result similar to yours - one under for eight, followed by one over after nine - hard to get a par when you skull a chip from just off the green. And my playing partners were so sympathetic. (not!)

But there's hope for you. I got a second chance about six months later on a back nine. Birdied 10 and 11, had one bogey along the way with 6 pars. Only time I've ever broken par on a regulation nine. Of course, the part I'm not telling you is that I needed that to break 80 that day, having shot a 44-35. Why can't we ever put two good nines together?

ONLY A TRUE GOLFER WILL UNDERSTAND THIS :

-Don't buy a putter unt il you've had a chance to throw it.

-Never try to keep more than 300 separate thoughts in your mind during your swing.

-When your shot has to carry over a water hazard, you can either hit one more club or two more balls.

-If you're afraid a full shot might reach the green while the foursome ahead of you is still putting out, you have two options: you can immediately shank a lay-up or you can wait until the green is clear and top a ball halfway there..

-The less skilled the player, the more likely he is to share his ideas about the golf swing.

-No matter how bad you are playing, it is always possible to play worse.

-The inevitable result of any golf lesson is the instant elimination of the one critical unconscious motion that allowed you to compensate for all of your many other errors

-Everyone replaces his divot after a perfect approach shot.

-A golf match is a test of your skill against your opponents' luck.

-It is surprisingly easy to hole a fifty foot putt . For a 10.

-Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.

-Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts

-It's not a gimme if you're still away.

-The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

-You can hit a two acre fai rway 10% of the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time.

-If you really want to get better at golf, go back and take it up at a much earlier age.

-Since bad shots come in groups of three, a fourth bad shot is actually the beginning of the next group of three.

-When you look up, causing an awful shot, you will always look down again at exactly the moment when you ought to start watching the ball if you ever want to see it again.

-Every time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make two triple bogeys to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

-If you want to hit a 7 iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to lay up just short of a water hazard.

-To calculate the speed of a player's downswing, multiply the speed of his back-swing by his handicap; I.e., back-swing 20 mph, handicap 15, downswing = 300 mph.

-There are two things you can learn by stopping your back-swing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.

-Hazards attract; fairways repel.

-A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

-If there is a ball on the fringe and a ball in the bunker, your ball is in the bunker. If both balls are in the bunker, yours is in the footprint

-It's easier to get up at 6:00 AM to play golf than at 10:00 to mow the yard

-A good drive on the 18th hole has stopped many a golfer from giving up the game.

-Golf is the perfect thing to do on Sunday because you always end up having to pray a lot.

-A good golf partner is one who's always slightly worse than you are....that's why I get so many calls to play with friends.

-If there's a storm rolling in, you'll be having the game of your life.

-Golf balls are like eggs. They're white. They're sold by the dozen. And you need to buy fresh ones each week.

-It's amazing how a golfer who never helps out around the house will replace his divots, repair his ball marks, and rake his sand traps.

-If your opponent has trouble remembering whether he shot a six or a seven, he probably shot an eight (or worse).

-It takes longer to learn to be a good golfer than it does to become a brain surgeon. On the other hand, you don't get to ride around on a cart, drink beer, eat hot dogs and fart if youare performing Brain Surgery !!!!

Conversation excerpts between me and my caddy from this weekend. I'm trying to decide if I should be offended.

Me: 'Think I'm going to drown myself in the lake.'
Caddy: 'Think you can keep your head down that long?'

Me: 'I'd move heaven and earth to break 100 on this course.'
Caddy: 'Try heaven, you've already moved most of the earth.'

Me: 'Do you think my game is improving?'
Caddy: 'Yes sir, you miss the ball much closer now.'

Me: 'Do you think I can get there with a 5 iron?'
Caddy: 'Eventually.'

Me: 'You've got to be the worst caddy in the world.'
Caddy: 'I don't think so sir. That would be too much of a coincidence.'

Me: 'Please stop checking your watch all the time. It's too much of a distraction.'
Caddy: 'It's not a watch - it's a compass.'

Me: 'How do you like my game?'
Caddy: 'Very good sir, but personally, I prefer golf.'

Me: 'Do you think it's a sin to play on Sunday? '
Caddy: 'The way you play, sir, it's a sin on any day.'

Me: 'This is the worst course I've ever played on.'
Caddy: 'This isn't the golf course. We left that an hour a go.'

Me: 'That can't be my ball, it's too old.'
Caddy: 'It's been a long time since we teed off, sir.

So as the gentleman stood on the ladies' tee box addressing his ball, he heard over the loudspeaker, "Excuse me, sir. That's the ladies' tee. You need to move back 20 yards to the men's tee."

He backed off and looked up at the starter's window, shook his head, and again began to address the ball.

Over the loudspeaker again, "Excuse me, sir. That's the ladies' tee. You need to move back 20 yards to the men's tee."

He backed off once more, this time giving the starter a dirty look. Again, he moves back and gets ready to hit, and, on cue, he is interrupted.

"Sir, you are on the ladies' tee box! You really have to move back to the men's tee!"

He backs off again and drops his club. Looking back at the starter's window, he shouts angrily, "Would you shut the fxxk up and let me hit my second shot already!?!?!?!?"

[Constance-41]

I have never played golf. I don't know if I would have the patience for it, but I would like to learn. You never know, I might enjoy it.

Been a while since we've had a post in here. Time to start things up again:

A nun walks into Mother Superior's office and plunks down into a chair. She lets out a sigh heavy with frustration.

'What troubles you, Sister?' asked the Mother Superior. 'I thought this was the day you spent with your family.'

'It was,' sighed the Sister. 'And I went to play golf with my brother. We try to play golf as often as we can. You know I was quite a talented golfer before I devoted my life to Christ.'

'I seem to recall that,' the Mother Superior agreed. 'So I take it your day of recreation was not relaxing?'

'Far from it,' snorted the Sister. 'In fact, I even took the Lord's name in vain today!'

'Goodness, Sister!' gasped the Mother Superior, astonished. 'You must tell me all about it!'

'Well, we were on the fifth tee...and this hole is a monster, Mother 540 yard Par 5, with a nasty dogleg left and a hidden green...and I hit the drive of my life. I creamed it. The sweetest swing I ever made. And it's flying straight and true, right along the line I wanted...and it hits a bird in mid-flight !'

'Oh my!' commiserated the Mother. 'How unfortunate! But surely that didn't make you blaspheme, Sister!'

'No, that wasn't it,' admitted Sister. 'While I was still trying to fathom what had happened, this squirrel runs out of the woods, grabs my ball and runs off down the fairway!'

'Oh, that would have made me blaspheme!' sympathized the Mother.

'But I didn't, Mother!' sobbed the Sister. 'And I was so proud of myself! And while I was pondering whether this was a sign from God, this hawk swoops out of the sky and grabs the squirrel and flies off, with my ball still clutched in his paws!'

'So that's when you cursed,' said the Mother with a knowing smile.

'Nope, that wasn't it either,' cried the Sister, anguished, 'because as the hawk started to fly out of sight, the squirrel started struggling, and the hawk dropped him right there on the green, and the ball popped out of his paws and rolled to about 18 inches from the cup!

'Mother Superior sat back in her chair, folded her arms across her chest, fixed the Sister with a baleful stare and said.…

Recently I was asked to play in a golf tournament .

At first I said, 'Naaahhh! I already play 4 or 5 times a week.'

Then they said to me 'Come on, it's for handicapped and blind kids.'

Then I thought...

Well, did you play and win or is this in the future and are you going to play? I would love to learn to play Golf. I don't think that I have the patience this game requires.

I think I'm afraid to take on the blind and handicapped kids. Too embarrassing when I get the shit kicked out of me.

I think you'd enjoy learning to play. It really doesn't requiring patience (other than waiting when the course is crowded). What it requires is perspective. Remembering all of the other places you might be and realizing that very few of them are as beautiful as where you are. Recognizing that it really doesn't matter what your score is, but that you have approached one mini-challenge after another and given it your best shot. And whatever level you play at, there will always be a mix of disappointment and excited accomplishment, as you could have always done better and you could have always done worse.

But the most important thing is that you have a place where you can spend several hours outdoors with friends, or with strangers, or by yourself. I suppose there are lots of activities like that (see hunting and fishing), but golf is the one that captured my heart years ago. I love it for myself and I love sharing it with others. I'd be glad to share it with you any time.

On my way to some great silliness. It's about 5:20PM out here in L.A. I'm waiting for my playing partners to arrive. They're due here in about 10 minutes. We're headed out to Scholl Canyon Golf Course in Glendale to play in a four-player scramble tournament. Tee off is scheduled for 6:30PM. No, the course doesn't have lights. We will be using glow in the dark golf balls. My understanding is that there is also tequilla involved.

I'll let you all know how we make out.

Back from the night time tournament. And it really was a blast. The balls will flash a bright red on contact that lasts for two or three minutes, so you don't want to lollygag on your way to the ball, or it's going to be very difficult to find. Watching the ball in flight is very cool. Looks sort of psychodelic. Takes me back about 20 or 30 years.

If you ever get a chance to play in one of these, I highly recommend it. Nobody cares who wins, and the real accomplishment is avoiding walking into a sand trap, which I nearly did twice. At even par, we managed to come in tied for fourth, and they were giving four prizes. The tiebreakers didn't break the tie, so they wound up flipping a coin. One of my partners called heads and, who would have thunk it?, that was his best shot of the night.

So we were the proud recipients of four $5 gift certificates. Next stop, Tiger Woods!

You know what else was really very cool? The Los Angeles skyline (I hear all the people from the east guffawing) is actually quite a sight from atop the Glendale hills at night.

A 'Rock Hudson' - a putt that looked straight, but wasn't

A 'Saddam Hussein' - from one bunker into another

A 'Yasser Arafat' - butt ugly and in the sand

A 'John Kennedy Jr.' - didn't quite make it over the water

An 'Elephants Ass' - it's high and it stinks

A 'Rodney King' - over-clubbed

An 'O.J. Simpson' - got away with one

A 'Princess Grace' - should have used a driver

A 'Princess Di' - shouldn't have used the driver

A 'Rush Limbaugh' - a bit too far right

A 'Nancy Pelosi' - way too far left

A 'Barbara Streisand' - ugly, but still working

A 'James Joyce' - a putt that's impossible to read

A 'Ted Kennedy' - goes in the water and jumps out

A 'Pee Wee Herman' - too much wrist

A 'Sonny Bono' - straight into the trees

A 'Mickey Mantle' - a dead yank

Four old men went into the pro shop after playing 18 holes of golf. The pro asked, 'Did you guys have a good game today?'

The first old guy said, 'Yes, I had three riders today.'

The second old guy said, 'I had the most riders ever. I had five.'

The third old guy said, 'I had 7 riders, the same as last time.'

The last old man said, 'I beat my old record. I had 12 riders today.'

After they went into the locker room, another golfer who had heard the old guys talking about their game went to the pro and said, 'I have been playing golf for a long time and thought I knew all the terminology of the game, but what's a rider?'

The pro said, 'A rider is when you hit the ball far enough to get in the golf cart and ride to it.'
