- Didn't lose a ball. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:03 20
  - Ha ha ha ha. - Reagen Aug 9, 14:04 18
    - (This is closer than anything else though) -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:05 17
      - Ended up with more balls then you started with? (i.e. found a lot more than you lost.) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:06
      - did not break or lose a tee -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 14:06 15

        ding! -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:06 12
        
        Nice. I've come close to this, but I usually at least break a few. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:11
        
        You can do that? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 14:07 10
        
        I mostly hit iron off the tee, but it was bizarre. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:08 9
        
        (do you mean you didn't use a tee with the irons?) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:12 2
        
        No, I use a tee for everything. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:13 1
        
        Then yes, that is impressive. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:14
        
        Even on irons, I rarely don't slice a tee in half. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 14:10 1
        
        I would think *especially* with irons. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:11
        
        pretty sure I would not even notice if I did that -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:10 3
        
        when I played, I would notice because I went through so g-d many of them -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 14:12
        
        I noticed at about 12 that I hadn't had to reach in for another tee. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:11 1
        
        I got one jammed into the handle on every club, and a shitload in my pocket - groiny Aug 9, 14:13
  - that would be a huge day for me -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 14:04
- Yelled at the people in front of you for playing too slow -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 14:03

  - I was waiting for this. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:02
- Charlie Browned another golfer -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:00 2
  - I don't know what this means. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:02 1
    - you know in Charlie Brown, when he tries to kick the ball, and Lucy pulls it out from under him? - groiny Aug 9, 14:06
- Shot a birdie, I mean literally hit a bird, hopefully it is just pining for the fjords -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 9, 14:00
- flipped the cart. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:00
- Walked the entire course. No cart -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:58 2
  - I rarely use a cart. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 13:59 1
    - oh, ok -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 14:00
- refrained from audibly swearing? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 9, 13:57 1
  - not possible. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 13:59
- Hole in one -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:57 3
  - pretty sure that is scoring related -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:57 2
    - I missed the IM -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:57 1
      - I think technically whiffing a swing is scoring related too -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:58
- hit a tree and ended up further away than you started? -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:55 2
  - My dad bounced a ball off a turtle once -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:56
  - Sadly not true, but also not the case -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 13:56
- Whiffed -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:55 2

I need to start a training regimen and in two years have one of you climb Grand Teton with me. That would be nice -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:38 48
- There's a bunch here that are scrambleable - Reagen Aug 9, 14:15
- These pics of Hood look better. I like this side route -- (link) - Bacon Aug 9, 14:14
- Tetonstraganza! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 9, 13:58
- my first thought was Podrik & Brienne when I read you wanted to train -- nm - peglegpete Aug 9, 13:56
- Grand Teton, does that require harness and ropes? -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:53 10
  - yes sir -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:53 9
    - Yeah, that will never happen for me. I will walk up to summit but no ropes! -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:55 5
      - No ropes as in hanging from one, I would use ropes as a buddy tandem on steep terrain. -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:56 4
        
        I think that is all you have to do on Hood is rope up for safety. No swinging on them. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:59 3
        
        I like this one! ;) it's easy. -- (link) - Bacon Aug 9, 14:02 2
        
        its very cool, but I have already climbed Mt. St. Helens - you've got my heart set on Hood for the time being -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 14:03 1
        
        I always thought about it. I see it almost every day. From Timberline it looks easy, but that pic you showed. -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 14:11
    - No technical climbing for me. Sorry. Though I would like to do some stuff in the national parks. Maybe the Grand Canyon rim to rim. -- nm - pmb Aug 9, 13:55 2
      - When I was in college, I took a spring break and backpacked that Grand Canyon. Absolutely spectacular trip. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:56 1
        
        A bucket list item for me is to raft through it -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:57
- I really wish I had the motivation/capability/means to do one of those bike across the country things - oblique Aug 9, 13:49 6
  - There's a cross-Italy trail I'd love to do - Reagen Aug 9, 13:55 1
    - My real estate agent did El Camino in Spain. -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 13:55
  - i have been listening to a podcast of a woman from MA who is walking across the US. She started in November in Myrtle Beach. - Andie Aug 9, 13:51 2
    - We bought/watched "Wild" this weekend (Reese Witherspoon) about a lady that hiked the PCT. It was pretty good and also inspiring along those lines -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:52 1
      - I really enjoyed Wild -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:53
  - yeah, I'm saying 2 years to work on capability and means -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:50

        [deleted]
- Let's start with Mt. Hood. You can do that in a day -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:39 19
  - okay, but we are hiring guides - ones who know the avalanche conditions there etc. -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:40 18
    - I know a one armed guy who is not really doing anything. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:43
    - You just have to outrun it. ;) -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:42
    - here -- (link) - crash davis Aug 9, 13:41 15
      - "when and where you will meet the snowcat" Can't they just drive us to the top? -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:43 2
        
        that is riding, not climbing -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:44 1
        
        I still remember this all too well. -- (link) - Bacon Aug 9, 13:48 [youtube]
      - Oh fuck! That is steeper than I thought. -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:43 11
        
        have you ever looked at the damn thing? -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:43 10
        
        Yeah I get that, but I hear people doing it in a single day and I think it can't be that hard. Rainier is rounder at the top, is that easier? -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:44 9
        
        NEVERMIND! " Crevasse Falls Crevasse falls are a serious hazard on Mt. Rainier" - Bacon Aug 9, 13:46 8
        
        guides, get guides - btw, Rainier is 3,000 feet higher than Hood, your body will notice that -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:48 7
        
        Guides are required to climb mt rainier -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 9, 13:54
        
        I am seriously frightened yet interested in climbing Hood. I would definitely need to get my cardio up for a bit before -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:50 5
        
        Rule #1: Cardio -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:57
        
        lets do it! -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 13:51 1
        
        I will go into research mode. No promises :) -- nm - Bacon Aug 9, 13:52
        
        Would make an awesome Youtube video -- nm* - Bacon Aug 9, 13:51 1

- Thanks for the thoughts from everyone. My sisters have taken on the lion share of dealing with this stuff for the last couple of years. Their - pmb Aug 9, 13:53 4
  - I would wonder are you going to be able to put this out of your mind when you're climbing? It could be a safety hazard if you're distracted. Also, - jnine Aug 9, 14:35
  - ultimately, it rests on you to decide what is best for you. - groiny Aug 9, 13:59
  - Otoh, some local friends, wen and cin since childhood, cin has been hospice for a year now, didn't expect her to last past xmas, wen almost cancel - zeitgeist Aug 9, 13:58
  - :( -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 13:54

  - not if Trump accidentally nukes it. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:33 2
    - they do trips to Chernobyl -- nm - oblique Aug 9, 13:33 1
      - "it used to be a mountain, now it is a pile of marshmallow" -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:35

  - I dread this and my sister is around. I try not to think about it but it is going to happen sooner than later in our family - oblique Aug 9, 13:33 2
    - As my parents got older and now my Mom only, I always left each visit on good terms no matter what was going on. - Bacon Aug 9, 13:37
    - all I will say., is have a conversation beforehand so you know what they want you to do in the event that you have to make a call. - groiny Aug 9, 13:35
  - for sure, the situation changed me forever. -- nm - groiny Aug 9, 13:32 1
    - Me too. I still question some of my decisions and it's been over 2 years. - Bacon Aug 9, 13:35
