Find me on the EagleGrint to see how I played.

 

this is what's known as a tease. well played. ;)

 

 

sidenote: i know i said i was sending out tee times for TRU today, but it obviously didn't happen. need to confirm a couple things and then will send an email out, along with the tournament details. this will happen likely monday am. thanks.

 

How am I supposed to prepare to play with random dudes from the internet I never met before if I don't know who I am playing with?!

Rub one out and have some pancakes.

No. But I love that anyone would be serious enough about golf to ask if a practice green was aerated.

Hobbits?

 

I don't think they have. I think they're aerating everything starting may 1st.

 

They're getting Po on all their greens. There's Po all over Waverly too. Was talking to a guy out there yesterday and he said the only thing that really takes care of it is heat.

Cool. Assume that means you'll use today''s hcp update.

Um, wut? Totally legit question. Nothing more annoying than going somewhere to practice putting, only to find the green is aerated.

Sully hobbits is the closest course to my house so sometimes if I'm just going to putt a bit and maybe hit some bunker shots I go there to practice. My speed needs work.

Truth. It's bad in april/may, gone from June-Sept, back in the fall.

 

There was supposedly some sort of Po Juice that was going to kill it and not touch bent grass, Piedmont got some last year. They just eventually closed the one green they used it on and replaced the entire thing.

 

Po Juice.

[FAbb]

It wouldn't be a problem if we were a bunch of olds. Poa ain't bad early in the day, when the greens are freshly mowed. It's in full force for those weekday afternoon rounds, though.

[2moreTerps]

Is anyone else having a problem where the board keeps switching back to the full version on mobile?

 

Why are the greens at hobbits so fast? The practice green was firm and fast today. I have to think that slower greens would help most of the players there. Don't get me wrong the greens seemed amazing but just maybe not the best thing?

Yes it's been switching mine, kind of relieved thought my phone screwing up.

I've had the same issue on my iPhone and haven't figured out how to fix it from switching modes.

[SullGolf]

Same. So its a WRX issue

Nothing wrong with it at all. Its just a question that a non-serious player would never think to ask.

[SullGolf]

I had at 12:10 tee time for DCGT, and when I got home at 20:30 my wife apologized for rushing me.

Same. How am I going to make smiterofv1x feel awkward if I have to keep switching to mobile?

[Gmen1204]

Happy Easter

[pquarta1]

Hobbits greens are firm, fast, and true right now. They won't be better at any point this season. Last year, they aerified in one form or another seemingly endlessly after the first punch.

 

The practice greens sits up on the highest point of the course with no tree cover catching heat and wind. It tends to be a bit former and faster than the course, especially in the afternoon.

[gsrjc]

Happy Easter. Enjoyed playing with the DCGT. First time out and lots of fun.

pulled up to a red light.

Looking on my windshield, not a food bag in sight.

 

Ftr, I haven't gotten on the site from my phone lately, but on my tablet, the site used to default to "full" and now it's bringing up the mobile version. I think someone switched an if-then somewhere.

[SullGolf]

I think someone switched an if-then somewhere.

 

Bingo. My phone is defaulting to the full page, while my desktops are defaulting to the mobile page.

Ditto... frustrating, at times.

Another awesome DCGT event put on yesterday by Eagle/company. If you havent been out to one of these and you dont have/want a little bit of tournament experience - what are you waiting for? Do it, much good times.

 

Sully and I teamed up for a team -2 but unfortunately we couldnt hit one single putt outside of 6 feet on the front. Played pretty well on the back with 3 birdies. It was great to have Sully hitting first all day since most of the time he was hitting something playable. On 9/10/11/12 yesterday I hit maybe 4 of my best drives of the year with the driver, thanks in no small part to him hitting playable drives. He also made 4 or 5 great putts for the team which really helped the cause. The single lengths were great again, second full round with them and loved them even more.

 

MTN/MVP were a blast to play with. Sully definitely set them up for the last hole beer hustle though. After all 4 of us hit great drives on 18 Sully offered low score on 18 for beers. Sully hit one up on the green and then I stuffed a PW to 3 feet. Birdie = cold beers. Also had the Old Bay wings which were just perfectly cooked and are so delicious.

 

Course was in OK condition, greens really need a little more time to heal though. Played in 5 hours which was just brutal. Even with the time we spent looking for balls we still waited on the guys in front of us on 90% of the shots. Excruciating. But its sad to me to see what has happened at PoSho though. Used to be just acres and acres of woods and they are basically clearcutting anything they can to pack more houses and condos in. Sad to see these massive bald eagle nests in the one tiny patch of trees thats been left in the nearby area. I know its just the way it is but it really changes the character of the place to me. Once all the condos/houses are finished the place is really going to have a completely different feel.

 

Overall though, much fun. Again, if you think you want a little tournament experience, its the perfect way to go.

Ok if I'm asking website questions one more: why can't I upvote DC posts?

He's a mod. Can't like their posts. You can post a scantily clad or just hottt picture of Alex Morgan for him though.

[SullGolf]

Yah, DC and I ham and egged it pretty good yesterday. I don't think either of us played fantastic, but we had a 70 (-2) that could have easily been a few strokes better. We were never it trouble at the same time, but also didn't make any significant putts for birdies. All in all those probably canceled out and we probably played to about our ability, no better or worse. I played pretty poor off the tee, but hit enough good approaches and putts to pull my weight.

 

My prediction on us finishing near the bottom of the top flight ended up accurate, and my prediction on 2 skins ended up being accurate.

 

I wouldn't say I conned or suckered MTN/CCMVP in to a bet. We were tied at -1 going in to 18, and all hit good drives in the fairway to the 100 yard marker. It was just too even to NOT bet something.

[Kent01putt]

DC Tour tournament was a fun day. 5 1/2 hours out there was a bit painful but expected. Played ok but not great. We managed to finish 1st in the 1st flight somehow. We made zero putts all day outside of 6 feet. On 10 the other team hit their balls over the corner. Neither could find them. They dropped at the proper hazard line point and both hit into the left woods. They played the ball out and made a double. On the way down to the green they found one of the tee shots all the way left in the fairway in a swale. Nobody looked that far down the fairway for the original tee shot, must have been 360 off the tee. Shame we did not find it on the first look. Fun day nice to see internet guys again.

[TheCityGame]

I kind of knew where you were going with that Kent. From the 3rd tee box on that hole, it's 260 or so to get to the lower fairway and if you land there, it's just going to run like h3ll.

 

What holes were the skins on?

[Kent01putt]

I do not know about skins, we did not win any for sure.
