Plus by the end of the 18 carrying I was usually way too gassed on a July day to keep a good round going. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 I have a push cart but I go through phases using it and not using it. Most of my golf is 9 holes and I like not having to mess around unfolding and folding it, especially when you are rushing to make your tee time.

My guess is when courses open back up in Ma... carts are going to be limited so I figured I should have something to make the experience better.

Posted this in Wiz's severe thread to give him a hard time, but Maine is going with limited golf on May 1. I assume that means no sharing golf carts, but for us walkers that should mean no real changes. Now the fact that I haven't swung a club since early February may be more of a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courses here have raised cups, no rakes, most no carts. putting at a raised cup is different, speed less important, just get it to the hole.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted May 8, 2020 Author Share Posted May 8, 2020 Snuck in 18 for my bday at Whitney Farms in Monroe. Put up an 82. Best ball striking round of my life. Had the greens been legit and not recently aerated with sand...would have cracked 70s. All those youtube videos over the winter paid off. All downhill from here ha.

I think they could have spread out the tee times to every 20min instead of 10min but we rarely had to wait. Everyone seemed to play ready golf. Although the bumpy greens had a lot to do with it. I’m sure players got it within 5ft and just called it. Keeping the flags in also helps the pace of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can keep my mind around (body turn, shift weight to front, and let it fly). As the season goes it seems like I start getting too technical and too eager to tweak this and that. I kept it simple today...need to repeat that thought process from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S&P Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Played last Sunday late, had a group in front of us , didnt offer to let us play through , always kills me when people can’t play quickly especially with how expeditious the game is set up now, so we just jumped ahead of them while they played a par 3. We were nice about , made sure they didnt have anyone in front of them, they didn’t as they had fallen a good 2 or 2.5 holes behind. They were pretty shitty about it when we passed . Never saw them again think they are still playing. BTW cups were raised but not so the cylinder was above grade. So ball rested against pin so you could remove with touching hole. A good compromise, only one put in foursome that would have been good under normal conditions that glanced off pin but didn't go in, we gave it to him as good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah.... my buddies and I aren’t overly skilled so we let people pass if it comes to it, especially if they hVe less than 4, because obviously they will be faster than us. You would think universal walking would kind of make it so everyone played at a similar pace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of when we played in the back yard with red solo cups on their side, in was 1 hitting it was 2. Glad you can get out . Hopefully it warms up for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
