MD/VA/DC Golfers - Ten Seconds or Less

[Puppetmaster]

I get to play with City, Kent, and JJ?

 

 

I'll bring a Sharpie to get autographs.

[Boogs2]

Email just went out to participants for the fourball tourney next week at UMD. For those following at home, here are the (randomly generated) teams.

 

FAbb & eagle

Sully & Outlier

Kenty & JJ

City & Puppet

David30 & THDC

Freezy & PQ

Siegel & Sneek

ATLSean & DT

 

Looking forward to the recaps.

 

I hope you all become mortal enemies, and have a full blown out fight at the course.

 

And by fight I mean:

 

[Puppetmaster]

Hwiskey Creek Breakdown:

1. uphill. lots more room than what appears from the tee. i usually hit a cut a the left fairway bunker. depending on the tees you play from (tips, right?), you can carry the right bunkers and have a little wedge in. green slopes primarily back left to front right, but there are some swales in there.

 

2. uphill. bombs away with big dog off the tee. ample fairway, no reason why you shouldn't hit it. add 1.375 clubs to your approach. green slopes back to front, with a spine than runs down the middle. fun hole.

 

....

 

Copy, paste, print. Thanks again, Eagle.

City and Kent in same foursome

 

I may just leave clubs in the car and bring popcorn and watch them go at each other all day

I'll bring the folding chairs, you bring the cooler.

Sully really hit the ball off the tee better yesterday than I've seen him hit it in a couple years. More power, sounded better, everything about it was awesome. He said its still a work in progess but boy it looks good.

 

Eagle also looked good rocking the white linen pants yeseterday. Sully and I both remarked how impossible it would have been for either of us to wear them, they would have been absolutely soaked. Eagle didnt look like he had one drop of sweat on them.

 

Kudos again to Stix for an amazing round. Even when he hits a skank shot here and there, he just knows he can hit the next one close so nothing ever seems to bother him.

 

Also worth noting, the combined age of the twosome that Eagle wanted to fight was @170 - and I might be underselling it.

you also said you wouldn't have called for help if they had passed out in the fairway in front of us UNTIL we had played back through them. so there's that, too.

[eagle1997]

is linen not breezy for everyone? how can this be?

 

 

i almost made it a full day before mentioning DC's silver sunbrella and matching silver sunsleeves. not making fun. just mentioning it.

[TheCityGame]

Just called my Dad because today is his 75th birthday. Told me he shot 78 last weekend. Noice.

 

Waverly with Sneek and PQ yesterday.

 

Played the front in 1:30. Got behind a threesome on 10. They had no one in front. played the back in 2:30. Can we all just build our own course?

 

All 3 of us had eagle putts on 11. Finished with an eagle, a par, and a bogey.

 

Me and PuppyMasher gonna SMASH at UMD. Yeah bruh, I got you a nickname for your nickname. Wear shorts. It will distract Kent.

[FAbb]

They were using a line on the ball, weren't they?

[Puppetmaster]

GTW 1.0 (because I know there will be more)

 

When you guys draw up a game plan for a course, both new or previously played, do you determine the tee club of choice, excluding par 3s of course, or do you wait to see what the hole looks like, where the tees are, how you're feeling, wind, etc.?

 

Making some notes for Whiskey now, which I never do, but decided to mark down holes were I will hit driver and others where I'll hit 3W, or less depending on the tees. Also putting down approx shot shape preferred given the diagrammatic view of the fairways, since I know it'll look different standing on the tee sometimes. The plan is to refer to notes, see a "D", pull the driver, no 2nd guessing. We'll see if I actually do it.

 

Also seems that Whiskey tends to favor a fade in general?

[TheCityGame]

Played the front in 1:30. Got behind a threesome on 10. They had no one in front. played the back in 2:30.

yeah, they would point it into the long grasses and swing right at it.

 

DC - is this the umbrella you have? Has anyone used this?

 

 

They're like 20 bucks at Amazon. Thinking about getting one.

[eagle1997]

whiskey is actually open enough to be able to hit any shot shape. you only really need to hit a fade on like one hole. hitting a fade might be the preferred shape (to essentially increase the size of the fairway), but honestly, it's not a must at all. course should be in good shape, have fun.

 

GTW: i try to envision hitting tee shots (picking clubs/ideal shot shapes ahead of time) but the day-of, i'm going with how i've been hitting it that day. if i can't find the face of my 3w, i'm not hitting it, regardless of my plan.

 

i think we all talked about this recently, maybe you missed those 10 pages. let me see if i can find them.

GLHF@UMD, those pairings look competitive.

 

Any stragglers want to play next Monday or Friday? I'm taking off days and getting out in the mornings.

i hope you add the correct one to your cart, or you'll have to take out a 2nd mortgage.

 

 

 

 

 

DC - i need the link to the budget sun sleeves please. no, i'm not joking or making fun. dead serious.

[FAbb]

GTW : I don't pre-plan for new courses. I just go play, and develop a game plan over time, based on experience. I also don't try to hit a certain shot shape off the tee to fit the hole, basically ever.

 

Like eagle said, hwhiskey doesn't require a fade. It doesn't even necessarily give you an advantage to hit a fade on more than a couple holes.

[dcmidnight]

City - I have the silver Clic umbrella, I like it because the handle fits the attachment perfectly and it doesn't wobble around.

 

Eagle - Im on my phone but I think this link works

TEE TIME ALERT: Friday July 29th at 8:15 am at U.S. Naval Academy. Just found out I can get the day off and have room for 3 players. Send me a PM if you can play. Course is in good shape and hopefully does not get too soaked with this storm coming through this afternoon / tonight.

Trust me, that's why I typically don't plan, because I'm so inconsistent and the planned club will more than likely be in the doghouse by then.

 

Also, when I say preferred shot shape, I was glamorizing a little. When I say "straight/cut" in my notes, it just means, swing the swing that doesn't duck hook... and "draw" means don't friggin go right.

Went to the dermatologist yesterday, he wholeheartedly endorsed them. I was thinking of getting the UV sleeves too

[SullGolf]

Who is Outlier? I need to get in touch so we can start coordinating our outfits. He may have to get some stuff overnighted from Amazon to make it work.

I like them so far, $10 for a three pack of the generics and they come out of the washing machine OK.

[dagoose383]

"Perfect for women and small framed men"

 

Would these also be good for fall, when it may be a little cooler in the morning. I know it says they provide a cooling effect, but DC would these be a good alternative to going with long sleeves or a base layer?

the description slays me. going to guess they are not manufactured in the usa.

• Package included: 3 Pairs arm sleeves
  
• UV Protection over 98%
  
• Fast Dry materials for excellent cooling effect
  
• Extremely elastic material. Approx 15.7 inch length, fit upper arm circumference 10~16 inches, wrist circumference 6.5~11 inches. Perfect for women and small framed men.
  
• Prefect for outdoor and indoor activities
  

 

just bought a set of 3 (different colors). thanks.

[FAbb]

They should just say FAbbulous, and the small frame thing would be implied.

[eagle1997]

just figured it out. sleeves will eliminate sunburn AND rugburn.

My forearm tan is my best physical attribute. #teamnosleeve

[eagle1997]

btw - DC just hiveminded sunsleeves. his claim to fame: it's the first item that works for both thread denizens and their WAGS.

you are vastly underestimating your cavernous bellybutton. a close 2nd: the winsome smile we all so rarely see in photograph form.

I got out to Waverly with City and PQ yesterday afternoon. I had a BOGO offer that was going to expire so it was nice to get to use that. City and PQ are great guys to play with and I enjoyed the round.

 

This was my first time at Waverly and I liked it a lot. It was nice having City and PQ to show me the way around the course. I shot an 85 which should have been a lot better. I had a few awful shots on the front nine that led to double and then my ability to lag putt went away altogether for a stretch (I had 13 putts in a 4 hole stretch)., Overall, this was one of my better ball striking rounds to date and I hit some awesome drives. So, I can feel a good score coming soon.

 

Like City said we all had eagle putts on the 11th. My 9 iron rolled all the way to the back right of the green (the ball was really flying yesterday) and there was a front pin. I then proceeded to 4 putt...

that was a fun read. good catching up with the things that were said a year ago. also, it was a few posts away from the first deepdream pic post.
