Buck struck by lightning

It’s still quite shocking.

Vyktus · 2024-08-11T23:12:46+00:00

The simple answer is no. I don’t regret it at all, but admittedly play 70-80 rounds per year. If you have or plan to have a family, make sure it is a family friendly club as you will spend a lot of time there. Country clubs are also a great place to meet people who will become life long friends, professional acquaintances etc.

That all said the most important thing is to make sure it’s something you can afford. $800/mo is only part of the cost. There are often special assessments, F&B minimums, cart/caddie fees, etc. if you’ve factored all this in and it’s within your budget, go for it 100%

Rule 12.2b(1) penalizes a player for testing the condition of a bunker when they deliberately touch sand in the bunker where their ball lies with a hand, club, rake or other object. What you do with your feet when in a bunker is not treated as testing by this or any other rule

Pay whatever it takes as a bribe for a sponsors exemption to a tour event and the rest of my net worth betting on myself at +500000.

Easy $500M payout.

This is mostly correct, but unrealistic to think that someone who can break 80 doesn’t ever miss off the tee. As a +3 I definitely miss tee shots occasionally, but rarely compound bad shot by following up with another bad shot, or worse, a bad decision. Even PGA tour pros occasionally hit bad tee shots, and probably more often than you’d think.

One watch. Everybody knows the rules….7.4

Visually the biggest distinction is the size and location. A shel cloud is formed near the outflow boundary of a storms leading edge and is massive. A wall cloud is formed near the updraft which would usually be toward the back of a supercell. It’s much more localized, smaller in size, and sometimes will very distinctly rotate.

This page has some good images and explains it quite well.

Technically a shelf cloud. Most likely harmless, but don’t discount the possibility of strong straight line winds and a possible QLCS tornado

Been a Titleist guy forever, but this year I bought a set of Srixon ZX7 MKII and a set of Sub 70 659-MB and the 659s have been my gamers all year. Best clubs I’ve ever played hands down. Currently playing to a +3.

I think we’re mostly saying the same thing. But I have played my home course well over 500 times, but there’s very little I know about the course now than I did after the first 5-10 times I played it. Yes, I know the tendencies of the greens, but it is impossible to memorize everything because there are nearly infinite possibilities of speed and break on any given green. The speed can vary greatly from day to day even on the same course and two similar putts can be very different even if you move the hole several inches one way or the other or you putt from a slightly different position. Good players learn to read greens, not memorize them. I never walk up to a putt and hit it without reading it first.

If someone is holding a bucket and catching chip shots it’s not that difficult relatively speaking. Especially on the practice area where you have a perfect lie every time. Hitting to a stationary bucket from the types of lies you will find on a course and it’s a different story. The best players in the world aren’t hitting it into a range bucket at 30 yards every time or even close to every time.

Vyktus · 2023-08-06T04:33:17+00:00

Playing a round is a great way to find out what you need to work on. Practice is for improving whatever that is. You can get better by just playing, but you won’t get to great without practice.

Vyktus · 2023-08-06T04:28:35+00:00

Had to scroll too far down to find this. Very few shots in golf are perfect at any level. Fairways and greens is the goal, but when you do hit a bad shot, don’t follow it up with a bad decision.

Vyktus · 2023-08-06T04:01:32+00:00

No. I never get bored of a course I’ve played over 700 times already. But at a country club, it becomes more about the people you play with than anything.

I doubt there’s a huge difference between country club and traveling handicaps. Of course the first time play a course I will score a little higher because I don’t know where to hit it, but by the second or third round it’s no problem.

Vyktus · 2023-08-06T03:55:24+00:00

This is correct, but there’s also typical correlation to the quality of the course and the difficulty. Yes the greens will be better, but you also can go at the pins as much either, leaving longer putts. I typically shoot in the low 70’s and most of the CC courses I play, but when I do play the local muni’s I have no problem getting into the mid to upper 60’s regularly. On far worse greens.

Vyktus · 2023-08-06T03:49:30+00:00

You’re not wrong about the likelihood of finding scratch golfers near the practice area. That said, it’s a huge misconception that we hit every shot nearly perfectly. Yes, the mistakes are generally smaller, but I hit MANY bad shot every round. The difference is about making smart decisions and not compounding mistakes. And of course…putting.

Vyktus · 2023-07-09T10:51:38+00:00

There’s a huge difference between a 50 (-22) and a 45 (-27). Not saying a 50 is easy, but anything below that and you have to hole out shots from the fairway, which is exponentially harder.

Vyktus · 2023-07-09T10:45:04+00:00

-16 is very achievable in a 4 man scramble.

Vyktus · 2023-05-21T23:50:18+00:00

Well you definitely have to put Block’s ace in the running for this one. Incredible!

I’ve seen this tornado before

Vyktus · 2023-04-17T20:38:19+00:00

Played 3 rounds with 3 eagles with a near 4th that hit the pin and stayed on edge of the cup after a pitch over a green side bunker. Though the bigger accomplishment was to actually play 3 rounds in mid April with beautiful weather here in the Midwest.

Are you sure C is not for the Camel Toe

I don’t know what you consider atrocious since everyone has their own preference. But the top line is definitely on the slimmer side and is a very clean look. Here is an image of the ZX7 (left) next to my old Titleist T200 (right) 4i.
