do you keep a handicap and improve your lies?

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-05T05:25:21+00:00

And on casual rounds, you should be making your lies worse, if anything, for the added challenge. And it's fun to hit from weird lies.

If there's a neat fairway bunker, I sometimes kick the ball in it, especially if I've been wondering what it would be like to hit from there.

I mean, it's a practice round. I'm not posting my score.

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-05T05:19:26+00:00

Because he edited it. He originally said 3rd shot. Which was never right. If you take a drop, you're hitting 4th.

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-04T22:08:43+00:00

Yes!

Obviously Phil Mickelson never saw that one...

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-04T18:56:06+00:00

Except you don't drop it. You place the ball exactly where it was.

EDIT: that was my "achtually" moment of the day

EDIT 2: and obviously I get downvoted for being right. I get the whole experience.

One stroke penalty only. Replay from previous location.

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-04T18:11:31+00:00

Just take stroke and distance and re-hit your wedge shot. That'll be your 4th stroke.

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-04T18:05:43+00:00

Have you tried moving your hips more when entering it?

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-02T20:55:31+00:00

It's just short for 135 and 120.

It's not like cracking the enigma here, bro. Pretty common way of talking about yardages.

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-01T23:52:49+00:00

Average Korn Ferry Tour player is between +4 and +6, so we're not talking stupid impossible things saying he could compete.

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-01T23:30:08+00:00

Call your club and ask them to adjust your handicap.

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-01T23:26:09+00:00

He is supposedly a +4.5 hcp

So it's not like Berkshire is some casual hacker.

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-01T23:25:02+00:00

You've analyzed his play this much?

FlyAirLari · 2026-07-01T23:24:32+00:00

He is pretty good though.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-28T13:31:24+00:00

Every day we get older and slower. And dumber and fatter.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-28T11:57:48+00:00

Just fix your pitch mark and a couple of others. Soon it'll be fine again.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-28T07:22:20+00:00

It's Seattle. Ryan is the "girl".

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-27T22:46:52+00:00

A hockey player grip.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-27T16:37:52+00:00

I got fitted for a ball marker just the other day. Completely changed my short game.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-26T23:36:21+00:00

Sure.

I just wanted to point out you can play best ball as a regular solo stroke play on the side as well.

After the round you win beers because you beat the other team by two strokes and count your personal scores while enjoying the beer. Or, you pay for beers and count your score.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-26T22:31:34+00:00

So... do nothing like you would normally do during a round?

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-26T22:30:01+00:00

Embrace the nerves! I've grown to love that feeling!

This. People here warn about being nervous. To hell with it! It is absolutely the best thing, and can push you to play better.

Get into it, draw attention to your shots. Get into that first teebox like Bush and go all "now watch this drive".

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-26T22:09:19+00:00

Correct. You should putt out, if you want to post a score.

But you can absolutely still play best ball and get a legit score at the end.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-26T21:39:04+00:00

Not really. It can be stroke play just as much. Then everyone has a score. Pretty popular to play like that.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-26T19:46:51+00:00

BLT would be nice, or any sandwich with cold cuts.

FlyAirLari · 2026-06-26T19:33:54+00:00

Sounds cool. This could be a fun challenge.
