I just texted my golf partner and let him know he could dump me temporarily while I get my issues straightened.

Like the great partner of 14 years he has been, he answered, hell know.

I think I will throw down a 78 today to reward him for his loyalty.

Played 9 at Sleepy Ridge this morning. It had been about 4 years since I had played there and I remembered liking it. Go ahead and pass on this course going forward. The layout is fine but the management and upkeep are not good. Took 2:35 to play the front 9 and the greens were in shitty condition. Shot a 52.

He may have thought you were talking about your personal issues. You better call him again and clarify it's your golf issues.

If falafel is hitting I think a 71 Ford Pinto would be more than enough car to catch it.

That video is a fantastic testament to the immaturity of the male species.

Bunch of dudes getting together with expensive electronic gadgets simply to see if they can catch a golf ball in a convertible. Upon completion, the car driver starts burning rubber and the golfer kisses his club because they were able to achieve this wondrous feat. They high five each other, lots of cheers, dudes snapping pictures, the whole deal.

All the while, their girlfriends are probably standing off to the side, looking at their watches, wondering when they are getting the hell out of there and going out to that dinner they were promised.

Being a guy is great. I feel like hitting some golf balls now.

That is true.

But at least we won't need a 4x4 to catch my drives. #1 in fairways hit!

Well - for the tourney our team came in at 2 under par.

Not bad considering they did not sell any mulligans or inches and in essence my team was only playing with 3 since I was in the foursome.

Not good considering they set a rule at the beginning that the highest score you can get for any hole is par - regardless of how many hits it actually takes you to knock it in. (In our defense - I'm pretty certain we would've gotten the same score even if this "no worse than par" rule had not been in effect.)

I like to pretend that we would've done much better if it weren't for the gale force winds that completely screwed with all of the golfers.

My proudest moments were the two times that my drive ended up being the one used, followed by knocking in a long putt to give us one of our birdies.

Yes - I apologized profusely to the two fine gentlemen that they paired me and my co-worker with. I also vowed to spend some time at the range learning to hit before next year - just in case I get the opportunity to attend again.

This is also true.

Folks, please help me understand all of these bizarre, odd shaped putters on the market. I want to get a new one and am overwhelmed by all of these newer models that seem to have all sorts of crazy things going on off to one side of the putter. Is there some sort of appreciable advantage to a putter that has 7 inches of intricately woven metal patterns hanging off the back side? What is a nice putter out there, even if it is a season or two old?

Speaking of which, I wonder how many TaylorMade Ghost spider putters have been sold in the past week as a result of Beau Hossler's 4-day ad campaign? That thing reminds me of the front of Darth Vader's mask.

I've been playing a lot, but my scores have sucked, and I've been too depressed about it to report here.

KDog, you suck.

[Shaka]

It's all about alignment.

I have my own putter woes. I currently rock an old Bullseye that badly needs regripped. The con is that you are essentially destroying a cool old putter by regripping. I'm considering buying a new putter and finding a spot for the Bullseye on the fireplace mantle.

I have gone through about 8 putters, but keep coming back to my old Odyssey mallot.

[Donuthole]

I am currently in love with my Odyssey White Hot Marxman XG blade. It's a little strange looking at first, but I have never found a better putter for lining up putts inside 10 feet. Anymore for me, if I miss a close putt it's because of a misread and not a misalignment. That confidence does amazing things for your putting.
