Well, I guess I’ve seen the game in person, so I won’t argue that point!😀
How’ve you been DP?

 

Hey now, that hits too close to home Sir!

 

All in all, life is going pretty well and we've been able to continue to keep our clients/team COVID free for 10 months now so we're VERY happy about that. You need to get your round count up for 2021!  Life is too short...

Im sorry DP.....I just couldn’t resist! 
 

Glad everyone has stayed healthy. I know that’s been a lofty challenge.Unfortunately  I don’t know that the round count will change much this year.

I'm really upset with my golf club.  They repainted the parking lot to add more parking.  Apparently something about more play in 2020 so need to have more spaces or something or other.  People think the extra play is a good thing, but what about the helicopter pilot I had to lay off because the helipad is now parking spaces.  I like my Bentley just fine, but he has a family to feed.

I'm just so totally fed up with my inability to hit driver that I've been teeing off with 4-irons and 5-irons on most holes lately. 

 

It sucks to be just barely outdriving my playing partners. 😭

A friend of mine, who I thought I knew very well, said to me one day while we are driving to our early morning tee time, while sports radio was talking about John Smoltz, "Hey did I ever tell you about the time I played golf with Jon Smoltz and Tom Glavine?"

 

I was like...... uh hell no and why the heck does it take this long to tell me. He says they are both very good golfers and that Smoltz hits his irons as solid as a pro (he plays in the Sr. Tour now a bit). I ask him how did you get connected with them and he says the starter paired him and a friend of him with em when he was in Georgia.

 

He continues to talk about how nice guys they are, etc. I'm not thinking much of it as it was some public course in Atlanta or something as they were pitching for the Braves back then.  So I ask, "what course was it?"

 

He goes, "Augusta."   !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   My jaw dropped, I mean really I recall having my mouth open and pausing for like a few seconds starting at him in disblief. I said like Augusta National where the Masters is?  He casually says, yeah.

 

Now WTF I have known this guy for years and we golf every week in a group together and you drop a casual yeah I played Augusta story on me that includes getting paired up with Tom Glavine and John Smoltz???  It was like he was leading a double life that I never knew about and almost felt betrayed like I couldn't trust him for a while.😃

 

Turns out he was newly married to his wife and living in Texas somewhere. His next door neighbor's son was a groundskeeper at ANGC and as he says it once a year the son can have a twosome to invite. The dad asks my friend if he wants to go on short notice. My friend asks his wife and she says hell no, they don't have any money. My friend says, "I think I would have considered divorce, if she didn't relent. And I'm serious." Maybe he was, but he buys a Delta ticket to Atlanta drives up and plays with his neighbor and coincidentally they are paired with the pitchers. My friend was a heck of a pitcher himself at UT - Austin back in the early 80's.

 

what a story huh....

I woke up early this morning and sure enough my wife was embedded in the mattress - I didn't probe her and I've called for an official before proceeding further.  I'm sure she'd prefer I just go take free relief but I play by the rules!

  Don’t know if she would approve of a provisional, so maybe take an unplayable!

Did the OP state it had to be golf related? I’m happy to shoot in the low 80s so don’t think I’ve got much to brag about passively or otherwise! But the other day when I was doing dumbbell flat bench press I was only able to do 12 reps with the 100lb dumbbells! I haven’t been able to workout as often during the pandemic and I’ve already lost 12lbs!  😩

I’ll try...

 

A couple of weekends ago I shot 79 at Kiawah’s Cougar Point, but I was so annoyed the whole day. I literally couldn’t buy a putt all day. My buddies insisted on playing from the white tees, and so I had to decide on virtually every par 4 whether to attempt to drive the hole and potentially leave myself an awkward yardage, or whether to lay back. My 40 yards and in short game is truly horrendous right now (chunk city)!  One hole was only 310 and it was playing downwind. I hit driver and thank God I found the greenside bunker or my ball would have ended up 40 yards past the hole. Should have hit 3w. Playing from the white tees was interesting because none of the “first layer” of fairway trouble came into play ...but it was usually this unseen second layer of trouble near the greens that gave me problems.  My buddies asked multiple times if I was sure I was hitting my 2nd shot instead of 3rd. 


🤣

 

Actually pretty much all of the above is technically “true”, but I did my best to turn it into a passive brag tone (upon re-read may not even be all that passive lol).  The real truth of the matter is that I was over the moon to have broken 80 again...it had been a few years while I went through some major golf game pains. My game is rounding back into shape, and maybe I should play from the white tees more often!

 

And by the way, that 310 yard par 4 may have been playing less than that yardage...I didn’t scope it. And there was a downslope in the fairway about 50 yards in front of the green that somewhat funneled shots toward the hole.
