For those who enjoy The Gentleman's Game, I carded my first eagle on Saturday. Drove the green on a short par 4 (280 yards) the ball was two feet above the pin and I made the putt.

It helped our team win the event. It was a handicap 4 person team, two best ball tournament. We came in at 36 under par, 108. So we have braggin' rights for a year.

I actually had three shots that day that would have made highlights on the golf channel. It was a great day.

I've got my handicap card in my pocket.  100% legit. It was just our day. If two guys were having a bad hole, the other two either got a par or a birdie. It was a real team effort. And a lot of fun to boot.

Congrats Carol! I was able to accomplish that feat twice last year. Still waiting to get a sub 90 round in this year though. Very happy for you.

I had a day like that once. In Cedar Rapids, IA. With rented clubs. Straight up, no handicap, I shot 6 under.
Should have bought those clubs on the spot. I've never had a round since that even came close.

So can we take from the above statement that you would not like to be asked to be part of a foursome at the next convention?
That's exactly how I felt until 9 years ago when I decided to give it a shot and I love it now.

I prefer Winston Churchill's thoughts on golf.
"Golf is a game whose aim is to hit a very small ball into a even smaller hole, with weapons singularly ill-designed for the purpose."

I started playing when I was 12, played about twice a week into my mid-twenties. Started tapering off until I was only playing once a month or so.
Now I haven't played for 5 years and I don't miss it at all.

Sorry . . I don't do multiples - even for golf!!
I played golf with brew when I was younger and then made the mistake of playing with my dad.
I swore I'd never play again while he was alive (he turned into a crazed-wouldn't-shut-up-madman on the course). He's dead now, so I'm free to play again but just can't see the point.
Especially after taking care of dad for the last three months of his life and my creepy-golf-loving-brother wouldn't even come home from a golf outing when dad was rushed to the hospital the last time. Kinda leaves a bad taste in my mouth. 
So yes, count me out of your foursome.

Killer!
Last week I had my two best games of the year back-to-back. Feeling all cocky and shit, on my next game I proceeded to shoot my worst game of the year. Just fuckin shoot me.
Mayhaps I need to have a meet & greet at my house / country club. My front yard is the golf course, and my house has a golf simulator room. Not that any of that has helped my lousy game much.
