How'd you play?

[CarlH 8,622]

Interesting round today.  Shotgun start on hole 14 and I start out really badly, with 2 doubles right off the bat and playing 15-18 at 6 over.  Then on the front 9, I have a couple of so-so holes, then birdie #4, double 5, then my putter gets hot and I go birdie, birdie, birdie and lip out my birdie putt on #9 for even par on the front.  Back to finish up 1-13 and more mediocre golf to end up with a round of 81.

The format was A/B player best ball plus the best ball from the C/D players (net scores).  We shot a 126 (18 under) to come in first place and had 4 team skins.

Posted a bit of the highlights in the 0211DC review thread. 

But played 16.5 reall good holes today.   Short story was it ended in a 91, but took an 8 on perhaps the shortest and easiest hole on the course, just tried a couple hero shots after getting in trouble off the tee.   Then got a horrible cart path bounce on my approach to a par 5 from 160 out and took a double.  

Shoudl be good enough to get me some points in the net division and move me up into the top 20 in the playoff standngs. 

Funny ancdeote on my ball today.

Used the same ball for 18 holes, but in the course of the round it: (shotgun start so we didn't play them 1 to 18) started on 8. 

• Hit a cartpath and took a 30 yard bounce on the first hole ended up in the bushes behind the hole. 
• Ended up in more bushes off the tee shot on 18, from there dned up 3 feet deeper in said bushes, then hit anoher cart path finally getting out of the bushes
• Banged off the flag and settled to 6 feet on a par 3
• Hit two electrical wires crossing from the far right rough as it was headed dead center of the green on a par 4
• Then finally round it's final resting place from 6 feet on the 18th hole of the round.

This ball deserves a special place on my bookshelf for surviving all that.  I tried to lose it so many times and it just kep turning back up

You are one of the more acomplished players on the site.  And you don't have a Hole in One?

That just shows how crazy and Stupid this came can be at times.  It really is

... Crazy indeed. Not one but two Albatross and no HIO. I have landed in the hole and bounced out, hit off the flag stick too many times to count and watched high index players get their HIO's but evidently declaring I would not do any homework after the 5th grade is coming back to haunt me as several of my teachers warned me ... it will be on my permanent record.

I'm just glad that mine as a hgher cap player was a "legit" one that landed in the middle of the green and rooled about 10 feet into the cup.  Only regret is that it was a back pin at the bottom on a crest, so we didnt' see it go in.   But thats getting a bit picky

Played friends bachelor party today. Did a scramble format we lost to the other group but I was hitting key shots. My 3w was on fire today! Launched one 270 and multiple at the 250 mark. Our group had 2 eagles and were relying on a lot of my shots. It was fun playing with my friends I haven’t seen in a while

Was it a “Yellow Ball”?  They’re pretty tough!!

Do not feel hungry and out in the cold old buddy--- As much golf as I have played I have never had a HIO on a regulation course either

Had a great time playing yesterday with @BIG STU at his home course. We didnt keep score and we didn't play our best but had a fun time. I got to see some of Stu's vintage clubs make their way in and out of the bag and I did manage to show Stu what my new driver can do. The weather behaved this time and we got all 18 in. Great to get out with a fellow Spy. It was also nice to have a course tour guide to tell me where to hit, which holes to club up on and such. The course had great layout but did need a little TLC. But value for the money was killer. It helps to know people who know people. The course owners took care of us. 

Stu decided that walking the course with his Motocaddy would not be in the cards in his future and since I did show a lot of interest during testing he decided to give it to me with the cart bag as well. That was totally out of the blue and shows that kind of guy he is. I was pretty floored with his generosity and he didn't want anything in return. He just wanted a fellow spy to use it.

So I might be late to the testing party for this item but be sure that I will either do my review in the comments or unofficial review area. I am looking foward to seeing how this baby will do in the  mountains of Tennessee. That was my concern back while the official tests were going on. Maybe this will take off the last 5 pounds I'm looking to shed. 

Thanks again Stu

It sounds like a great day to be out with a fellow spy. @BIG STU, I'll repeat what @Golfspy_CG2 said, you sir are both an ambassador for both golf and the forum. You're one of the guys I really enjoy communicating with here on the site and I think what you did just shows how good of a person you are. I'm positive that Tom will put the Motocaddy to the test at his home course, it's definitely more hilly than what I see down here in the southeastern part of the state. 

Tom, I look forward to reading about how you get along with it.

Not too bad for having a very sore back. That 3w and I were out driving guys and their drivers all day and with a sore back I couldn’t go all out either maybe I need to hold back more often.

Cant wait to see your thoughts on this as well. Was recently reading an article about calories burned/general exercise with a cart, push cart and a motocaddy. Motocaddy had the best elevated heart rate and calories burned (faster pace when walking normally not having to push) which surprised me. That plus the review has me intrigued on these now. 

Glad to see the cart stays with a fellow spy!

Trust me if you put it up on #8 it is all a gas powered EZ-GO can do to stay with it. We tried that one day with the owners kid driving the EZ-GO and me riding shotgun. The most I had it up on was #3 and that was after I had gotten better. Most of the time I ran it on #2. But as a safety feature it will stop when it gets to a certain range away. I got where later on if no one was around I would put it on #5 and let it haul then it would stop and wait on me to catch up. I had a lot of fun with that thing

Yep but even it is hillier in the Choo Choo than it is here at the beach. But yeah I know Tennessee pretty well from my trucking days and Tom's area is hillier than in yours

Interesting, the only HIO I have is on a Regulation Course, I’ve come close but no HIO’s on an Exec.
