  • Sky Caddie SG5. Got it for 300 on eBay.

    We just bet 5 per side and 5 total score. Then we also play a quarter a hole. If we tie on a hole then we push the quarter just like in a skins game.

    • Golf is such a crazy game. Friday I go out and throw down a 90, one of my worst scores this year. Then Saturday I follow it up with a 75, one of my best scores this year.

      • I had no fun Saturday. Nothing was going for me and everything felt wrong. One of my worst rounds in a long time. I did sink a nice 30+ footer for double bogey though. :-)

        • Made one of the best shot of my life yesterday. Tried to cut the corner on a severe dog-leg right. Got it too far right and ended up behind a group of trees. I was 170 yards out and the only opening I had to the green was between two trees that were 10 feet apart and 15 yards ahead of me. There were overhanging branches, so I wasn't going to be able to get the ball more than about 5 feet in the air until it got through the trees. So, I pulled out a 2 iron, played it off my back foot, closed down the club face and made a knock-down swing. Ball came out on a line, between the trees, under the branches, landed ten yards in front of the green and then rolled up and came to rest 5 feet from the pin. The most memorable birdie I've made in a long time.

          • I shot a 79 on Saturday, which was my best round since before law school. My cart mate beat me by 4 strokes, but I got the last laugh, winning 10 skins ($1 a hole) on the day. He won 3, another guy won 5, and the other guy didn't win any. The shot that earned me the most skins (5) was a 15 degree hybrid from the rough on a par 5. I crushed it to within a foot of the green, chipped to within 5 feet and sank the birdie putt to win the skins. It's always nice to go golfing and have your round paid for by someone else.

              Your round only cost $10? I guess you stopped in Farmington after all. Stay and Play...

                $1 skins means everybody pays $1 per hole. So I won $40 (10 of which was my own money) making my final take $30. You have so much to learn. The young men in my Teacher's Quorum would call you a noob. Nevertheless, if you keep hanging out with me, you'll eventually be publicly presentable.

                    This is a great insight into your influence on the youth over whom you've been given responsibility. Who knows if they know anything about the priesthood, but they certainly know how to gamble on the golf course.

                    Note: there's no way I'll be betting any money on any holes next time I play with you. You're scores have consistently decreased since we played just 3 weeks ago!

                      Besides, you've only got $10 between you and your wife for the next two weeks, and I'm guessing she doesn't want you spending it on golf, let alone golf bets.

                        $10 in the account that SHE knows about.

                        • I played Sleepy Ridge yesterday, we somehow ended up behind the Mt. View golf team tryouts. 5 1/2 hours later we finished, I shot an 88. Mt. View is going to have a very shitty team this year.

                            So what kind of track can you play for $30?

                              It was $45, but we had a 2 for 1 coupon. Nice course in the Northwest part of town. When we paid, they gave us another 2 for 1 coupon. Most courses here have some sort of special for the locals. The course right by my office is $19 for all tee times after 2. It's hot at 2, but nothing an ice-cold towel, plenty of water, and some sunscreen can't beat.

                                When I come down in November you better pull some of these local rates for me.
