That is the great thing about golf.
You are really playing against yourself and it is exciting to break different levels. I remember the first time I broke 100 (yes 100) legitimately without moving the ball, taking any gimmes, etc.
I was quite proud of that, golf is hard. |
It is indeed. Which is what makes it so satisfying when you have a breakthrough. Or when you see one of the greatest pros swing a horrible shot that you have done better on. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

And every once in a while, you hit a shot even the pros would admire. I remember last year being stuck 25 yards down hill from the green, with a fifty foot tall tree between me and the green, and a nasty bunker and the elevation precluding going low. So I decided of course to try a ridiculous flop shot. I opened up the wedge and made a full swing, hitting the ball perfectly. It went sky high and landed with a thud six inches from the pin. Phil Michelson wouldn’t have made that shot any better.
Of course, I hooked the next drive out of bounds _________________ “We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” ― Elie Wiesel |

Spieth, Fowler and of course Reed coming up big late were amazing.
Great Masters as always. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

My dad is 76 and he has that flop shot in his arsenal still. I've never had that shot; I'm just happy if I don't blade a chip! And I've still never beaten him whenever we've played together. The last time was close, as I played great (for me) and he played poorly (for him). I went to 18 only trailing by one stroke. But he birdied the par-5 18th, while I bogeyed it. 79 for the old man, 82 for the less old man. It was the closest I've come to breaking 80 since I was 19. And that was the only time I did it. It would feel so much better to do it now!
Get me on a long course though, and I might not break 90. |

Hard to like this guy... |
Looks like someone is trying really hard not to. I mean seriously, what a trashy article. Pointing to an asinine question like " which of their fellow pros they’d be least likely help out in a fight", rumors and his family situation where no one knows the realities (and is really no one's business) . . . ?
I certainly won't claim to know much about Reed the person, and maybe he is a total asshat, but the only person that article made me think less of is the author. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

My Achilles heel for sure. I can go to the range or practice area and chip 25 straight balls 15 yards and hit a target within a foot or two 24 times. Once I'm on the course, I skull it 8 times out of 10 and hit the ball right over the green and off the other side. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know
