Been a helluva run but today sucked. Couldn't do anything right. Plan on drinking heavily and trying again tomorrow.

Shot 128. One hundred, and twenty eight shots. **** my life. I'm drunk.
quote:
Actually putted pretty well....the irons were what killed me. The course we played had no bunkers, just water everywhere. Lost so many balls...we had never played it before
quote:
At 128 get off the course.
I don't care where you go but get off the course. Driving range, putting green, Top Golf, whatever but you have no business being on a course at 128.
Hate to sound rude but get a bit better before hitting a course.
quote:The worst day of golf is better than the best day of chores, and we were constantly waiting on the group in front of us. We weren't holding anyone up. I normally shoot around 100. That's why it wasa joke of a bad day.
That's exactly what I'll tell them.
We didn't get on the course till we were shooting around 110. Took lessons and junior clinics, driving range, and par 3 course. That's ridiculous to be playing on a course on Saturday and shooting 128.
It can't be fun for you, you're playing partners, and the groups behind you.
quote:two four putts, four three putts, ten 2 putts, 2 one putts, so 42? That averages to 2.3 putts. My short game is probably the strongest. I've got the driver under control, but I don't hit it very far. I just couldn't hit the irons at all yesterday, couple that with all the water, and it was disaster. I am just going to hit the range today, and get the swing right. Then, probably play another 18 to get that taste out of my mouth hahaquote:

Damn some of these guys are pretty harsh. I'm sure they all shot 82 the first time they teed it up.
Just out of curiosity, how many putts did you have? Did you keep track of them?
quote:Well now I feel bad for saying go to hell, sorry haha.
You win. I'm out

Easy man...everyone starts somewhere. What are you gonna tell your kids when they're 12 and want to play a course but can't break 120?

No hard feelings and I'm by no means saying you have no place in the game. I wasn't trying to be rude and run anyone off.
I just think it'd be difficult to shoot that score and keep pace. With pace of playing being such an issue in the game both with amateurs and pros it's important to keep in mind when venturing out on a weekend.
And I echo that if you're having fun then keep on keeping on. Hell my dad is a hack but he has fun and I enjoy rounds with him everytime, but I also don't invite him if I know I'm playing on a busy course with my normal foursome of 10 HCers that like to play for money and keep it moving. He doesn't like playing with us either.
Just know your environment and the situation and all will be well.
quote:The only time etiquette matters in a group of 100+ shooters is on the green...and really it's just don't walk across someone's line and keep quite and don't move around while someone is putting. Other than that, find your ball, get your club out and hit it (IE Play "ready golf").
I'd much rather play in a group of 100+ shooters that kept pace and understood etiquette, than play in a group of scratch golfers who plodded around the course way behind pace.

i didn't realize anyone actually shoots 128, at least not on a Saturday. Seems like there would be enough pickups, drop on the other side of the hazard, etc where it would be "I would have shot about a 125".
Anyway, everyone has to start somewhere, and it is possible to keep up while shooting a high score. I just found it funny that he got the cliche advice to go spend his time on the practice green so that he can get up and down in 2 after hitting 5-6 miserable shots to get on or near the green.
