I fucking love this game. For a variety of reasons, I haven't been able to play at all this year. Got out today for my 3rd round of the year and put up a 44 on the front and could have gone 2 better. 49 on the back with a total of 2 birdies and 3 pars. Couple big numbers on the back. Won a few bucks at that. Good times. Have a few big rounds coming up. Tournament and cricket club here in Philly. Gotta get out after work a bit here coming up to get ready. Had a blast today.
Lets go berger!0 -

That was awesome. A golf celebration that didn't look extremely awkward too!0 -
That was so awesome yesterday. I was jumping up and down like if Embiid hit a half court shot to win a playoff game or something. The wife thought I was nuts.

Bones is joining the golf channel as an on course reporter, starting with the British. Amazing.

Had a putt for an eagle yesterday. It was a short par 5 around 470....I crushed my 3 iron twice and got it to within about 15 feet. First time I had a realistic chance for an eagle....Left the putt about 2 feet short. Brutal!0

Yeah it was a brutal green and the putt was straight uphill so I was just happy I got within a reasonable distance for the birdie. Didn't want to blow past the hole, but leaving it short is the worst. Oh well...hard to complain about a 2 foot birdie putt0 -

These stories are great! The only eagle I had was a par 4 and holed out from 150 yards out on a side hill lie. Complete luck but I'll take it!0

I feel like the 150 yard dunk is a lot of people's eagle story, not to take anything away from it. I don't think I have made anything over 75 yards.
I really want an eagle.

All set up for the President's Cup. Airbnb all set in Jersey City. Tickets for Friday and Saturday in hand. Just gotta make some early tee times for us.0

Got a 6:30am tee time. I love pulling up to the golf course when it is still somewhat dark and being that first one on the tee. Love it!

Anyone have a hard time convincing their father to hit off the senior tees? My dad's 67 and his arthritis is pretty bad. Can't hit it nearly as far as he used to and more often then not, stops playing after 12 or 13 holes now. I briefly brought up the senior tee last year and he quickly dismissed it. But I'm wanting to bring it up again because I feel bad for him and feel like this will prolong his playing golf as he gets older. Wish I got back into golf a lot longer than just a few years ago. Missed out on a lot of good times out there with him.
Wob---when did you make the decision to switch to the senior tees?

My dad is 66 and now hits from the forward tees. He doesn't hit very far either and for him I think he just realized it wasn't a lot of fun to play golf when you had trouble getting your second shot to the green.
I would try to convince him there are multiple tees for a reason and that he would have more fun hitting mid irons on par 4 second shots than 5 woods or hybrids every hole.0 -

I think I may take mine in somewhere to see if I could use some longer clubs. I'm around 6'2 and my last set of clubs felt a little short....they were a shitty set so I didn't bother putting any money into them.
Very cool. Hopefully the wife lets you out of the house to play golf too!
I'm your height. When I got my new set I got fitted and ended up getting a quarter inch longer than standard set.
I'm not sure about the return policy on clubs so if you are thinking about getting a longer set you might hold off on trying the new set out. The cool thing though about fittings is that they'll look at optimizing the type of shaft to use in the club as well.
I finally went for a custom fitting today at the PGA Tour superstore that is near me (check it out if there's a location near you....they do a custom fitting for no charge). They told me that I needed extra-stiff shaft irons. I was hitting the 7 iron they had me testing out around 200 yards. But then I looked at prices for extra stiff iron sets....holy shit! The set my wife bought me was a regular shaft so I exchanged those for a stiff shaft set. I'll see how these go and if I struggle with them maybe I'll upgrade to an extra stiff shaft but I just can't be dropping over a grand on a set of irons right now.0
