Anyone know of a good app to track bets? I use GolfLogix for GPS and score and stat tracking, but I'd like to track the bets separatley. Non of what I saw in the App Store blew me away, but it's hard to tell without actually using.

All I needed to do was double 18 to break 90 at Bandon Dunes and be on the biggest golf high of my life, well I posted a triple. I'm happy to shoot a 90, which only a couple short years ago seemed out of reach, buy my FiL scorching the course and beating me isn't helping.

Atta boy. Keep it up. Soon a score in the low 90's will be a dissapointment.

East Bay, 98.

Got pretty frustrated behind a foursome on the back nine that were on a pace to finish 9 holes in about 5 hours, and I am not joking. They refused to let us play through, so we skipped 13. By the time we reach the 17th tee they were on the 14th green.

We went back and played 13. East bay sucks at course managment.

Highlights - Birdie on the Par 4 eighth. longest drive of the year, 335 yards on the par 4 10th.

So I don't understand golf, I shot a 58-57 today. I didn't feel like I was doing anything differently than I have for the last month playing in the low 90s. Ugh.

I hate golf. Film at 11.

Between you and HFN it sounds like there was a lot of carnage out on the links today. I'm beginning to think that trading in my garish golf slacks for lycra bike shorts this month was a good idea.

Ok... I don't hate golf. I hate sunstroke on the hottest day of the year, after walking 18 holes. It's 11, and I'm still feeling sick. Sick enough that I don't want to care to do a report on my round.

I played in a tournament last weekend the forelakes amateur I was only 5 over through 14 (par the first 5 holes) I followed that up by finishing double-triple-double-double.

Par 5 I am about 85 yards out in two. Green surrounded by water. I hit my 60 about 2 feet passed the pin and it spins back like it is on a rope about 8 feet catches a slope and I go in to the water.

On a par 4 I hit a drive in to the trees it takes one hope and settles right in the middle of a pine tree. I had to take an unplayable lie.

Bad breaks.

I played Cedar Hills on Saturday. Cedar Hills for me is like BYU71 playing Oakridge. I have access to a corporate pass up there and when the weather is good I play it at least twice a week. So my scores are much better on that course than others.

Saturday my driver was very erratic. I was all over the place and I only hit 4 fairways the entire day including a few duffs off the tee that left me long second shots. My irons were above average I was fairly accurate struggled a little with my distance control but was hitting almost everything flush. My putting was insane in fact it was the best I have ever putted. I did not have a single 3 putt and I did not miss a putt inside of 20 feet. I made a 40 foot putt for par and had 3 other putts of at least that length that I put within a foot. I ended up shooting an 82, considering how poorly I was off the tee I was pretty happy about it.

That was a fun course. I am glad that FM sent us that direction.

I hope to play it again this year. The tee box on 1 is pretty cool.

That is a fun opening tee shot. The only thing I hate is that the fairway on 1 is always soaking wet. I am not sure what the deal is but my ball plugs almost every time. I also hate that my average tee shot is right about the distance of the creek at the end of the fairway. If I really get one I can clear it, if I dont I am fine short. But most of the time I end up too close for comfort.

Glad to hear it is getting play. Haven't played it, but thought it looked like a very nice course with a nice layout. Seemed like no one was on it when I would drive by though.

I would love to be posting in this thread a lot more, but the yearly shanks arrived 3 weeks ago and as usual it has been living hell. I enjoy golf toooooo much. I have been in a major funk not only on the course but off. Like someone who is bummed I have been spending money. New Driver I cant hit, new Adams 3 wood and rescue I can't hit any better than the clubs I bought two years ago. Bought two new Cleveland wedges today and a new putter.

I better start playing better soon or all that will be left to my kids are golf clubs.

Remember, if you're sh******, you need to stand a little farther away so the ball doesn't ride up the face and hit the hosel.
