where a gator took his arm off.

I think I'm okay with losing the TopFlite now, thanks much.

in Florida you let the ponds have those balls. Even if you see it. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 13:04

If I hear/see a splash, the ball is gone. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 22, 12:31
hhrhrhmmm. It looks like someone's next swing... is going to come up short. -- nm - Horatio Caine Aug 22, 12:28

- Friday, we played. After I spent the morning unloading rock. First swing, Ed: "That's the oldest man swing I've ever seen. All arms, body never - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:28 15
  - 2nd time this year, I hacked up the front 9, and did well on the back. - groiny Aug 22, 12:34 12
    - oh yeah, and on the front, I had one hole where I was shooting at the wrong flag. - groiny Aug 22, 12:35 11
      - what was awesome about that was you were aiming for the 18th hole when we were playing the 9th. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 13:04 4
        
        well, you take away the shot, the penalty and maybe one other shot, and I am at 100 even on the day. - groiny Aug 22, 13:06 3
        
        yeah take away that 12 on that same hole and I'm closing in on you as well. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 13:10 2
        
        on the front 9 at least..... - groiny Aug 22, 13:15 1
        
        yeah you did. -- nm - Remlik Aug 22, 13:26
      - I hit 4 trees on one hole. Including a chunked shot that went 45deg left, hit a 3 inch thick trunk about 60 yards away. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:48 5

        Ed got an autographed scorecard; first time he's beaten me over 18 holes in a decade. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:52 3
        
        I plan to break 100 before getting to Myrtle. - groiny Aug 22, 12:55 2
        
        I've got 2 more rounds in me before then; but 2-3 trips to the range. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:56 1
        
        I think this is about right, I can see getting out 2 more times before then. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 12:58
  - I got a hole in one on vacation a couple weeks ago - oblique Aug 22, 12:30
  - i miss golfing. haven't been in forever, and won't be going this year. (can't take allergy meds and the grass kills me.) -- nm - kare Aug 22, 12:29
this (well, we don't have gators, but you know) is why i have the telescoping retriever. -- nm - Reagen Aug 22, 12:25 3
- I got one of those mainly cuz by rule of "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" the ball can never stop within club's length of retrieval. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 12:27
