Not a big problem down here right now. Mainly just the sprinklers
Good...I've had a pair.

a 46...seems like every day it's been hot and windy. Par three uphill, nine iron, started at the green and along came one of those 30mph gusts..that ball started drifting...and drifting and landed in a thick tuft of grass. Got just enough club on it to advance it a couple yards, and on the next shot i flew the green.
Have a 2pm tee time, hopefully the rain stops. Mid 90's with a heat index in the 100's
I see what you mean. Course was really wet this morning and so were the toes of these shoes. Still an improvement over the footjoys but I don’t think they will hold up long...
Doubled 16 and choked a 2 footer on 17 for an 81 total....cripes. Wanted to share this with you guys and see what you think.
I don't care if you keep your score or you don't but at the end of the day, if you haven't kept your score, don't discuss your score.
My two buddies and I play the ball down, we play by the rules, we putt everything out. That's how we've always played and from my perspective, it's the only way to properly play the game. Now yesterday we were joined by a new club member. Nice guy, early 60s has a nice swing and a pleasant fellow to play with. I asked him if he'd like me to also keep his score and he said sure.
On the very first hole, he became frustrated and swept away a 5 footer that was for bogey. Nobody conceded the putt and nobody would have...it was a curler. So I really had no choice but to mark down a bogey 5 and move on which we did. On another occasion, he did the very same thing.
At the end of the day over beers I totaled the card. Dude was pleased with his 83 total.
This is the is-it-me? part of my post. I could have let it go but that stuff has always irked me, esp, when a tainted score bests another players score that's correct (No, he didn't best my score) so I said, "yeah, but you did sweep away a couple of 5 footers out there."
"Well call it an 85 then" he said. I replied, "You call it whatever you'd like to call it."
...and that was that. It wasn't angry or heated and I look forward to playing with him again but I did want to put him on notice. I'm guessing that he may think I'm a D_CK for saying something but I just can't tolerate the alternative of saying nothing and just accepting that kind of thing. I've seen it many times in the past and it's bs.
I'm sure some of you will call me uptight but perhaps a couple of you might agree.
My wife and i will concede short putts during a round, will also move a ball if it's on a patch of hard dirt. However, if we're playing with other people, then we putt out and take a stroke if we move the ball.
