On Thursday I played my first round since October and shot 87 (albeit from the white tees). I was pretty happy with that considering I took 6 months off. I'm heading out again today hoping to improve/knock some more rust off.

I went to the golf course today and did something. Not sure it can be called playing golf though. Good god

Nice. I'll be on vacation for that one. Have been meaning to get there for a while. Wonder if that one is ever planning on coming back around here.

StubHub is a bit insane right now. I am actually in the market for one more and am expecting the best possible deal to be around $250.

Major golf is always a blast to see.
What day are you going?
Crowds are crazy though.
I"ll bet you will be following Sergio all day.
Have fun.

Yeah, man. I am pumped.

I am going Saturday. I will want to be able to see what actually happens Sunday and I don't have as many days to take off this year with getting married and all. I have heard the US Open is especially crowded but oh well. HA, Sergio. Since it's Saturday, hopefully he'll be on his way home. Thanks, dude.

Anyone use golfnow.com?

How many rounds do you need to book thru them to get a freebie?

Was a little pissed they were going to charge me an on-line convenience fee. I cancelled out and just booked thru the course for the same rate

Thanks. Guess I'll only use them if they offer discount rates, otherwise it's about a wash

Playing in a 4 man (3 men and a lady) scramble tomorrow as a fund raiser for the school where I teach. The I'm probably far and away the best player as an 11 handicap (more realistically a 13-15 over the last year) so the team isn't great and likely won't win anything, but we're going to have a great time. I'm just glad that May is here and rates have dropped down here once again. The course we're playing, River Hall, is quite nice. It's a Davis Love III design and doesn't get a ton of play so the conditions should be great.

A short 290 par 4. Put it about 5 feet from the hole off the tees. Think that was my first legit eagle putt. Missed it by about half a cup. I was so nervous

Shot 43-47. Fucking wind and penalties kept me out of the 80's

Cliffy6745 · May 2013

A couple rounds in Palm Springs this weekend.

Players Championship should be fun, but not sure how much of it I will get to see.

Cant wait...have tix for Saturday and working on Friday and Sunday. I just miss the days when it was hosted in March...SO much cooler outside

Cliffy6745 · May 2013

Wow, did I start terribly. Ended up with one of the better back nines I have played though. Played my ball 50% of the time on the back with a foresome

Wobbie · May 2013

so....I get to my job at the golf course....the shop is empty.....I go into my boss' office and she's not there....I go into the head mechanic's office....he's not there either....but this is playing on top of a file cabinet:

I guess he sometimes plays it on a continuous loop
