Played in a company golf tournament and the cart lady ran out of liquor; Only sodas left after the front 9. We drank the course dry after 2 hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Ferguson forever Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Played in aState police fundraiser the last 2years. About 100 players. A state senator sponsored the drinks cart the first year. Word is it was about $3000. And they had a pitcher of Bloody Mary at the sign in table. Best ball tournament and one group shot like 8 under. We didn’t. I played with the father and uncle of an active trooper. When we got in he asked what we shot and we said “even”. He said “you all suck!” I asked what they shot and he said “even”… Edited July 25, 2023 by redtail hawk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in my foursome got a state police license tag saying “champions…2nd division”. I think that was in case we were pulled over on the way home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandBillsFan Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Chiming in here a little late. But yes I golf. In fact just got back from Ireland and England. Really cool trip...: I won tickets to The British Open (I refuse to call it The Open.) So rather than just go to watch we flew to Ireland for 4 days and played three rounds there. Then jumped over to England and watched the pros for three days and golfed one day in England ourselves. Great trip. Not cheap though. In general, I am a member of a club and play roughly 1.5 times a week. I play almost every Saturday and maybe 1 night 9 holes after work. About a 12 handicap. Usually shoot around 85. In Ireland we got beat up by the courses and weather. Shot mid 90s. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great stories with Brian Harmon and the kid who is a member of Royal Liverpool coming in the top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Our son played yesterday before a wedding with a friend of ours, the dad of his best high school friend. Patrick had an offer to go to Univ of Miami on a full golf ride (went military instead). My son is pretty good, but he was never on that level. I asked our son how the round went and he said his irons were spot on, but he was a mess off the tees. Everything went right and made life hard. On the 16th tee Pat says “WHOA, freeze right there!” Our son stops, Pat lays a driver in front of his feet, then tells him to back away and look where he’s aiming. RIGHT! He outdrove everyone the last three holes. We know the ultra competitive Pat too well, but at lunch I asked the question anyway. “Pat, why did you wait until 16 to point that out to him?” We got the answer expected when he says “well, I had to be sure I beat him first!” 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
