BatteredFanSyndrome Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Speaking of playing golf with ex players, Ron Saul lives in Harpers Ferry right beside Sleepy Hollow golf course. He rocks his Super Bowl ring and rides around on a cart with his wife and dog and plays all day, every day it seems. A buddy and I joined up with them for a round last summer. He's not shy with his old Redskins stories. Awesome dude. A few weeks later another buddy of mine blasted one into his cart on accident. They almost fought. Good times.

tshile Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Got tomorrow morning off to go play virginia oaks I think that course is really pretty. When I play by myself I almost always go to Prince William because it's challenging, nice, reasonably priced, and close and usually empty. I wanted some nicer scenery this time though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 VA oaks was not in very good shape. Rough after the season. Hopefully next year it'll be better. I shot an 84. My next lowest score ever is 96, so that's a pretty good day. Was 9 over on the front with two triple bogies and started falling apart, but pared 7 holes on the back with a bogie and a double bogie to finish +3 on the back. Easily my best round ever. Shame I was by myself This was my first year of actually playing regularly. I think I've played somewhere in the 17-20 rounds so far. Normally I play 3 a whole year. I started the year shooting 110-115 regularly, and recently dropped into the mid/upper 90's. All in all a good first year to get going. (When I say I shot xx that's with mulligans and not counting penalty strokes because I was never good enough to track a real score. If i shoot like that a few more times I guess I'll have to start playing by all the rules ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) My charity event is in 10 days. http://www.callaghantirecharityproam.com/ This is our 11th year, and I'm proud to say this year we should break the 1 million dollar donation mark. In addition to running it, I also play in it. I shot 86 Monday at The Concession (where they played the NCAAs last year) with 3 tee shots in the drink. I hit it good. The course is diabolical though.

CBass1724 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I played Lansdowne on Saturday with some friends. It was gorgeous out! I shot 92, which is about average for me. Lost a couple of balls, so the penalty strokes killt me. It's in super nice shape right now and the greens were rolling well. Probably going to play Twin Lakes on Sunday morning and walk it with a couple of buddies. I did just buy a couple dozen of the Kirkland Signature golf balls. They've gotten tremendous reviews, so I can't wait to try them out this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I didn't realize Costco was selling golf balls now, how much are they? Let us know how they perform. I was at the Nike outlet in Leesburg on Saturday and they had the Nike RZN Platinum golf balls on clearance for 12 bucks a dozen. I picked up 4. Great ball, performs like a ProV1 for a 1/4 of the price. I'm actually kicking myself for not buying all they had left. 1 minute ago, TryTheBeal! said: John Daly 30 for 30 tonight.

Long n Left Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Well, the house in Hilton Head came through just fine, but cost me a shot at club senior championship. Oh well, some things are more important than golf. Not many...but some. Because of having to go down to HH a few times, and work, haven't gotten to play much lately. Did get out this morning for a 74 with two doubles. Just missed 3 or 4 good birdie chances, so came close to knocking down a nice number. Just happy to be on the links. It's my meditation.

Kilmer17 Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Played golf today with Lou Graham. Winner of the the 1975 US Open at Medinah. What a great day. In spite of how bad I hit it. We raised over 160k, which brings our 11 year total to over 1 mill. donated to the fight against cancer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busch1724 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 I'm so disappointed in myself. I haven't played in about a month. I've been super busy with grad classes and haven't even had time to practice. I'm playing next weekend at Manada HIll on the 12th and concerned I may hurt someone if not myself haha.

Finally got out last weekend...shot a 74. Granted it was a par 69 course with some shorter par 4's. There are two par 4's that are 250 yards from the white tees. The rest of the course is regular length. At any rate, I didn't touch a club in a little over two months and hit the ball better than I did all year. I normally shoot 80-85. The course I shot 74 on, I shoot about 77 on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busch1724 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Hey gotta look the part! I got out a couple days after Christmas...had some nice 47 degree weather. Should have more time to get out this year, so I'm getting anxious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Genius Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I know their club division folded..but I've heard good things about the Nike putters. If you have a Academy Sports location nearby, a few Nike putters can be found for $29.99 here (and in store) --> http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/nike-method-core-x-mc-4i-putter?cm_mmc=affiliate-_-CJ-_-Slickdeals+LLC-_-na&PID=4485850&AFFILIATE=c http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/nike-method-core-x-mc-5i-putter?cm_mmc=affiliate-_-CJ-_-Slickdeals+LLC-_-na&PID=4485850&AFFILIATE=c http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/nike-method-core-x-mc-3i-putter?cm_mmc=affiliate-_-CJ-_-Slickdeals+LLC-_-na&PID=4485850&AFFILIATE=c 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tshile Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Unsurprisingly Justin Thomas won - would have been an abysmal failure to lose after a 59 round and I think a 7 point lead going into day 4? I actually was flipping to golf this weekend while sick on the couch with the flu instead of staying on football the whole time... Supposed to get into the mid-upper 50's this Thursday and Friday, going to try to take a day off and get out there. Working on really changing my swing this offseason, I don't have enough wrist action and still swing more like a baseball bat than a golf club which means hitting it fat. The thing is, when you hit it fat on a mat you still hit the ball... the club bounces up and still strikes the ball. On the course... it digs into the dirt and who knows what will happen to the ball. Also working on my putting. I think I've a complete 180... I used to think I liked heavy, long putters but I'm thinking now that I would do better with a lighter putter.
