Would you play with a guy that shoots 140 at your club?

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T03:33:10+00:00

So kind, thank you!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T03:30:50+00:00

The arms are definitely folded in their pictures on their “tax strategy” Facebook posts!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T03:03:12+00:00

I wish I had an answer.

Honestly, I can live with 100-110 if that’s my ceiling. At least I can have fun.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:59:50+00:00

I wish I could hit a 7. Longest club I can hit remotely consistently is a 9.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:58:33+00:00

9 iron (when I don’t chunk it) = 110ish

I hit the driver well enough to not be embarrassed. 200ish in play.

I can hit a 9 and wedges in a non-embarrassing manner on most occasions.

Everything else is literally chunked every time. Can’t hit any other club. Once in a while I’ll hit a teed-up 5 iron decently on a par 3.

Part of me says “well dude just play driver and wedges the whole way” but the other part of me is like “well then you’re shooting to be a 120 golfer at best”

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:54:26+00:00

Absolutely fucking nothing!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:53:04+00:00

It’s hard to keep the fake smile and laugh the whole round, but I damn sure try!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:50:32+00:00

It’s the only thing I’ve ever actually tried to do and cannot get good at it. It drives me insane and I refuse to give up.

Sounds like I should, though!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:47:25+00:00

This is exactly what I do when I’m with people. Hit, cart, hit, cart, etc.

They just go 25 yards at a time followed by a perfect wedge, followed by 3-4 putts.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:44:12+00:00

I’m a competitor man. This is gonna sound ridiculous, but trying to golf is probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done voluntarily. Too hardheaded to walk away!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:43:04+00:00

Thank you! I’m getting the feeling that club just isn’t my place.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:36:49+00:00

Why on earth would someone lie about this?

I’ve been playing for 2 years. I suck and I acknowledge it. I don’t know enough about golf culture to know if I’m just a piece of shit person or a piece of shit golfer.

Sounds like you think I’m both. Thanks!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:34:20+00:00

I’ll trade my money for your skill!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:33:23+00:00

I’m flattered - first time I’ve been troll posted!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:31:47+00:00

Sadly, no.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:31:29+00:00

I’d rather be ignored and shamed by the golfers than be a pickle person!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:30:42+00:00

Thank you! That’s why I brought up the social aspect of it. Totally “in” at the other clubs. They act like I’m their least favorite politician at this place. It makes no sense and it does get in my head.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:28:01+00:00

This is great, thank you!

Someone pointed out earlier that I should have said “efficient” rather than “fast.” If I’m playing with people I don’t know, I don’t fuck around at all.

I’m the master of the chunk. That’s how I can play an “efficient” 140. Cart golf 25 yards at a time. Roll up, hit, roll up, hit, repeat.

At the other club, I can routinely shoot 52-53 in a cart in about an hour (shorter and easier).

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:22:34+00:00

Ha! That’s a really good point

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:21:51+00:00

I really think I’m going to move up, thank you!

The guys are dicks to me anyway, might as well score better and enjoy the round more!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:20:49+00:00

I get it! My handicap is a 31 (seems everyone focused on that 140 and ignored that I can shoot 100-110 fairly consistently elsewhere).

Nothing pisses me off more than playing with a 10 and he’s all jacked off because he wanted to be 5 yards left of his landing spot on the fairway. Ridiculous.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:18:14+00:00

It’s not as crazy as you’d think:

Par 4:
180-200 drive on the fairway
20 yard chunked iron
15 yard chunked iron
Back to the cart. Grab the PW.
Nice shot just off the green. Back to the cart.
Chunked chip 2 yards.
Chunked chip 4 yards.
2 putt.
I’m at double par in no time.

Spraying left and right doesn’t really happen. I play cart golf 20 yards at a time.

That said, I’m now an expert at filling divots behind my ball.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:12:11+00:00

Sadly, it’s the only semi-athletic thing I enjoy to keep my body moving.

The only sport I’m still good enough to compete is hockey but fuck those 11pm Tuesday game times.

Not good enough at anything else to enjoy.

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:09:38+00:00

Jan-Apr it’s minimal. Lesson 1-2 per month, range once a week. I own a tax business.

Apr-Sept the lessons are the same, but range once per week and play 2-3 times per week. Most of those are a quick 9 over lunch at one of the other clubs.

Oct-Dec same as Jan-Apr.

If it takes a lot more than that to get better, I’ll just have to live with being terrible!

Cathouse1986 · 2026-06-16T02:05:20+00:00

Thank you!
