    I play on an amateur tour and I had a tournament yesterday. At the end of the day I was tied for 1st with 2 other guys so we go to a sudden death playoff. It's getting dark so the official says that if no one wins the hole outright we'll go to a scorecard playoff. The third guy bogeys the hole and me and the other guy par. We go to the scorecard and they use the back 9 as the tie breaker. He beat me by one shot on the back 9 so I lose and come in 2nd.

    I hate that it couldn't be decided by us continuing to play head to head but that's how the cards fall sometimes. I should've executed better throughout the round.

    I played one time on a simulator and one time on the course this year. Playing a par 3 this weekend then have a work outing in a week or so at a solid course. Parenthood is no joke 

    Yep. I've played twice this year...this whole parenting thing sure gets in the way of golf.  One guy I know has a regular Saturday morning tee time at a course that they split amongst 10-12 guys.....works out pretty well considering how busy everyone gets during the summer. Would like to do something like that in the future to assure I'm at least playing a few times per year. 

    my dad never let parenting get in the way of his golf. that’s what my mom was for! :lol:

    I would also bet he was burning heaters when I popped out of the birth canal.
    If I had known then what I know now...

    That's brutal.  What amateur tour do you play on?

    Saturday for me. Wanted to go to a lot more, but can't swing it right about now.  Can't wait though. Have a decent crew going and the wife is taking the baby to the shore for the weekend.

    Tiger Woods is a Ryder Cup player in 2018.  Let that sink in for a minute.

    How are you getting there? If you drive, it looks like they make you park all the way out in Oaks and then they bus you in from there. At least for Thursday and Friday. So annoying.

    Frustrating thing is my brother lives just 5 minutes away from the course but he's in an apartment and there's no place I can park there (and leave car there all day without fear of getting towed).

    Was supposed to get a ride with a buddy who has a spot in the bmw lot but too many people going now to fit. Either gonna uber to wherever that location is or pay for the better parking, but I think that’s only on the weekend. Oaks is so far out of the way for me. No shot

    Yeah, the Oaks parking absolutely blows.  I did Uber at Oakmont and it was crazy easy and quick.  It was a much bigger pain in the ass at he President's Cup, but think that was more of a limitation of Jersey City.  Sounds like we are probably taking a different car and using the spot in the BMW lot, which would be sweet.  We'll see.

    Forget Tiger. Now what hole is that? Because it is glorious. Short'ish par 4 (?), elevated and protected green with a lot of risk reward up there.  Looks like he was hitting driver.
