StormSurge Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 One ball, 9 holes, 58 minutes, no wind & no one else on the course. I need to bottle this day. (Also 5 shots better than my round last Sunday.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the little pine trees that used to dot the rough between 5 and 7, which always helped me locate my drive in the deep stuff lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormSurge Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 It’s quite easy to find wayward drives right now. Not losing a ball isn’t exactly a noteworthy feat this time of the year but part of me is still happy about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you tee off the third with the same ball as the second, you're doing well in my book lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I'm going to jinx myself, but I can't remember the last time I hit one onto the rocks. It's 50/50 between the fairway or the jungle on the left. I'll try to align the landing by one of the birdhouses but 90% of the time, those balls are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Often overlooked due to the world-class course at the other end of the island, but HHC is fantastic fun. It is private, but I doubt anyone would stop you if you jumped on the course in the evening or early morning. Here's a picture looking back from the green on the 2nd hole. Tee box is tucked over at the far right by the water. Very challenging hole. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreaves Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 We haven’t even talked about the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island this week. Not sure who I like. Would be good to see Rory grab another major. DJ could grab it. One thing I know, as I just looked up and saw an interview with him playing on the Golf Channel, is I don’t want to see Patrick Reed anywhere near the leaderboard.

mreaves Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Early going in the PGA. Nice to see Rickie Fowler near the top, even if it is early. Sounds like the 600 yd 16th is not reachable in two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me a driver, 3 wood and I think I used a rescue club to get to the green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professional Lurker Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Fricken unreal. I'm done with my Thursday league. It's mostly old guys with high handicaps. Today I played 9 holes, finished gross -1. Best round of the season so far... some asswipe with a 14 handicap (for 9 holes lol) comes in and beats me. I would have had to shoot -3 to win it. At least I won both closest to the pins (6' and 7'), but still.... screw that. Sent from my SM-A505U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a 14 played a 4 in our league he would just get one shot on the par 4 and 5's with none on the par 3's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this guy gets 2 strokes on the majority of the holes. There's no way to compete! He gets a birdie on a par 3 and is a net 0 with 2 strokes... I get a birdie too, but he gets the skin.

I’ve been caught up getting ready to sell our house so I missed the first round today and didn’t have time to dive into dfs or outright bets too much. My gut had Rahm, Haviland, and Niemann in the lineups I threw up at the last second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I had some of it going on the second monitor between Teams meetings. I was surprised by Koepka. I want sure his knee would hold up. This course is lot less hilly than Augusta. Also surprised by DJ. T97 at +4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burns WD was a bummer, he was playing lights out past few events. What about my boy Conners? This is a ball striking course so the best T2G players should succeed, even if they are subpar putters. I’m going into the office today so I’ll have it up on my 3rd screen or listen on Sirius. Need my major fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
