Do you golf?

What is your handicap?

Wanted to throw in my two cents, nothing too exciting. Bit of a hack, mostly pitch and putt, but shot a 57 par was 54. -1 on back nine. Distances were between 45 and 80 yards. Great around the green, sand and obviously inside of 80 yards. Putting to be desired. Never got great with a driver or making a nice divot in fairways. Aside from that, give me a tee (pun intended) and I can spin the ball, get it up in the air with accuracy.

I can get the ball to the windmill using a putter on either side

Short game is the hardest part.

 

[edowd26]

That's actually pretty impressive.

I was hoping this would bring you out. See how I stacked up with you. I am to much of a wuss to sign up for the post standardn. But I do want to do it someday.

On a 9 hole par 27 executive course I have shot a 36.

I would love to be good enough to have a real handicap but the necessary consistency isn't there. I hit about 175 with my 5 wood. This summer I'm going to give it the old college try.

230/240 driver down to 100 PW.
Handicap is my swing.
Best golf ability: hitting driver off fairway.

1) I never held a golf club until after I retired. 2) I'm a woman. 3) I'm left-handed.

Given those handicaps (pun intended), I'm a bit reluctant to join this thread of single-digit-handicappers. I don't hit the ball long (I'm happy when it goes 150 yards), but it is usually on the fairway. Also, I have a decent short game and am a good putter. I play quickly and am a good team member in a scramble. That's about all I will say.

None of that is bad at all... except the lefty thing. Lefty 's are evil. Or something.

Screw that go for it. Believe me you would surprise yourself and probably make it past the qualifier. I convinced my 60 year old neighbor to do it and he made it through the qualifier. I played right behind a guy in the qualifier who shot a 121.

You need to eat a lot of humble pie in these events trust me. I had 72 in the qualifier, shot 75 in the first round at Kanon (also had 4 under in my league later that night) and proceeded to shoot a GD 97 at Seven Oaks the very next day which was probably my highest score in 30 years. I went from 13th place to missing the cut. Doing it in front of 2 friends as well (who I got paired with) was tough to swallow but it happens to everyone at some point.

I would play if I were you.

You tricky lefties. All lefties are good putters.
Only way my brother stays close with me in pitch and putt.

Do you golf? Nope.

What is your handicap? Hard liquor.

What distance do you average with each club? Depending on my handicap (see above), I don't make it too far before the club ejects me for being belligerent.

A wow a 97 from a 75. That's my kind of scorer swing. One day I can be in the 70s next day 90s. I do plan on doing it. I just. Wish it were in mid June. My game is AWFUL after over hibernated for y months. I just started to get it going this past week. Went for. 39 in league. The week before 47

Best drinkers biggest delinquents can be found on every golf course. Worst mouths I've ever heard came from this gentlemans game.

Yea it came out of nowhere unfortunately. Seven Oaks from the tips is brutal and if you start going bad there its like a death spiral. It was pretty humiliating but that's golf. Two weeks is the Ashe at Oswego so I am hoping for a better showing.

I try to putt and chip in my basement all winter so at least I can have a club in my hand. Going 4 months plus without playing kills my game too.

Hey now, 5 of the last 7 Presidents were left-handed. Wait, I think I just proved your point.

Its time. To move south. I owe it to my game.

I can attest to CTO's excellent short game and putting. She also took out Bambi with one her patented 150 drives a few years back.

5 of 7? What kind of sorcery is this?

She seriously hit a deer? I witnessed two birdstrikes. One that outright killed a smaller bird and one that broke a seagulls wing. I hate seagulls but I felt pretty bad. Personally I've only hit peoples houses.

Yes, but Bambi survived.

Speaking of houses, both CTO and Tomcat can attest to me taking out someone's glass window(s) on the 8th hole at Erie Village a few years back during an Orange Pack Club Conclave tourney. Bad snap hook. And I never hook.

I am a PGA golf pro. Not the PGA Tour, the PGA of America. We are the golf pros at your local courses that teach, run events, etc. I wish I had the time to play more. It is true that if you want to play golf, stay away from working in golf. If I were to keep a handicap, it would be around a 2. Looks like Marsh is a pretty decent ball striker.
