i have been searching for a golf thread, and couldn't find one so im making one now. i just started playing this year, broke 100 for the first time the other day. almost got my first birdie, 35 foot putt that bounced out. i have a vid that i can share later.
 
I consistently shoot under 50 on 9 holes, but over 100 on 18. Seems like my game always breaks down after hole 12. Maybe i just need to play more, but I kinda wish 12 hole courses were a thing

Mental fitness is very important in golf, its very easy to lose focus and hit worse shots later in your round.

I never understood people who wanted to play less golf, I constantly want to play more after 18 and 18 holes is the only valuable measure of your score and game IMO. Its nice you can put 9 holes into your handicap, but its still not a perfect measure.
 
Maintenance Crew Tournament this week. It's every course at the area at a little 9-hole chip and putt course, biggest hole is maybe 110+ yds at best. Going to get really rowdy. But I'm kind of over golf and want to ski again.
 
Played for the first time in 5 years a few weeks ago, no warmup. Surprised myself with decent consistent contact until getting worn out the last few holes. It was also a scramble against 3 other groups which is so much more fun than just dinking your own ball around all day. Kinda the only way I want to play now.

shit my bad, i dont know why it didnt come up in the search.
 
does everyone's golf season end about when the ski season starts? Headed to Boise ID for Thanksgiving and wondering if I should be taking the clubs, or if maybe maaaayyyybeee Sun Valley will have blown enough snow to open a few runs. It would a treat to get to do both.

Boise might have some golf open in November. In SLC golf courses are open as long as there is no snow on the ground, so some years we get 10-11 months of golf.

Good insight, I've gone soft living in socal I am concerned that my appetite for 45 degree golf won't be enough to get me out there. Guess we have some chilly mornings down here occasionally. I'm probably gonna try anyways because otherwise it's just sitting on the couch doing nothing, which I ain't a fan of.

But hopefully Sun Valley is open and I can get some early season turns in instead. Would it be a lot to travel with ski boots AND clubs? Luckily I have status with American and get unlimited carryons and checked bags, finally time to take advantage!

Ski bag and golf bag would be a big time flex.
 
Rolled some nice greens early today, practiced chip shots and stuff as well. Total breakdown today. God I hate this game so much.

Would love some 45 degree days for golf. We start off with 90 feeling like 100 in the morning with 100 feeling like 109 by mid day. Plus 70% humidity. Its fucking awful
 
Last place in The Sod Cutters Cup. Totally brutal. +5 which killed our entire teams score. I'm so bummed. At the same time, I don't respect teams who shoe-in Golf Pros/Clubhouse kids for a Turf Maintenance tourney but it is what it is I guess.

Florida is hell
 
Been playing pretty good lately, trying to get out twice a week this season. Went double -> eagle at the local 9er recently.

Beer Golf: tennis ball golf around a park, but with tree trunks for holes

Instead of water hazards, people's off leash dogs run up and steal the balls

dude just fucking around and having fun hitting balls is golf to me. I don't really like the stuffy country club hardo vibes at all. People take the shit too seriously.

TBH that humidity number is fucked. I played a few rounds this summer in AZ at almost 100 F and it wasn't as bad as I thought. Lots of super cold ice water and lots of sun protection, 10% humidity.

It's been almost 100 here all week which is abnormal, finally cooling off. This is ideal golf weather in my book:

Living in socal will make you soft. I grew up in Idaho, I remember going to early morning classes in the winter in shorts. Now I grab a sweatshirt anytime it's below 70 lol.

Humidity here is soflo is just insane rough. Just step outside and you’re soaking wet. It’s literally currently considered “dangerous humidity”

Dangerously humid, that is terrifying to think about. I will say now we're getting into fire season in CA.

September and October are like second summer for us since all the tourists are back to whatever/wherever they are from and the weather is still nice. Arguably my favorite time of year. This will be my first winter back in the sport of golf in CA, curious to see if it gets any less busy on the courses.
