HOLY SHIT, CADDIE!!! NOOOOOOOOO. 

I have never seen anything like it!

Cliffy6745

That is absolutely wild. Feel terrible for the kid. Good god.

A local caddie at that! AHHHH. Oh my god

Insane.  Wow.

Apparently a first year caddie and the same dude that had that somewhat viral celebration yesterday. Feel terrible for him, clearly emotions and all got ahead of him. Not a great look though for bandon either. They can’t be thrilled about it 

Especially after the fauci (know that’s not his name but it sounds like it and I don’t know what his name is), opened the door for him with that poor 3rd shot

Just odd.  I have never once thought of touching the sand with my hand.  Would be a waste of time anyway as you don’t hit the ball with your hand.  Wouldn’t get any sense of feel like if you used your club.

Playing a new course for me tomorrow.  Exciting.  Doesn’t happen too often unless I am traveling.  

Golf game is improving.  Averaging 89 this year in 18 rounds.  I have been tracking greens in reg and fairways hit along with total putts.  I like that some rounds I may hit 3 fairways and one green but still find a way to break 90.  Means the approach shots are just a little off and I am scrambling well.  Avoiding the big blow up holes.  Not losing my temper has been key.   Some terrible drives have still led to pars because I didn’t get pissed and screw up my second shot.

I think we're about on the same level. Do you know what your handicap is? I'm sitting at a 19.2 right now but my next two rounds will eliminate a 108 and a 102. Just a dreadful stretch right after quarantine ended. Playing later today too. Kind of a difficult links style course near me.

Best of luck!

My handicap is a 14.6 right now but has slowly been increasing.  Shot a 95 today.  Really liked the course. Very hilly for relatively flat central Indiana.  Drove the ball really well but irons let me down.  The greens are fast and tough to get the ball close to the hole with pitches and chip shots.  So much fun.  Will head out tonight for another 18!   I need to practice more on the course.

Another 18? Look at you!

I shot an 87 today. My handicap app says it was my best round out of my last twenty. Tough course. Dipped me to an 18.3. I’m gaining on ya!

Is there any reason why golf people pronounce the T in “amateur” more pronounced than other people? Am I crazy?

No better way imo. I get so much more out of practicing real golf shots on the course than I do banging balls at the range. The best practice for me is a twilight round with no one behind me. If I want to practice a shot, drop another ball and hit it again.

Why does golf do anything it does?

Is it always this windy there?

I know the conditions are rough but if this is any indication of the future, the sport is in for some slow golf
