Great to know about the niece, too. We have a 2 yr old. Yeah, don't get me wrong. I love my in-laws, but good grief. I drove them their and back. All I can say is, thank God for podcasts. Otherwise, it would have been my mother-in-law narrating her facebook feed the entire way home... "did you know that so-and-so's son just turned 3!????" Kill me. Dude, I love tripadvisor too. I research the heck out of everything - especially vacations. Luckily, a friend of mine's family has a house down there, and so he kind of told me everything that I needed to know, especially restaurants.

One 67. Maybe a dozen 68s. Too many 69, 70, 71s to count. It's still a big deal to break par though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are some impressive scores alex my goal since I was 14 was always to break par of course that was not possible, so much depends on the course your playing. I do miss playing but life goes on. My best competitive round of my life was a 64 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was a country club member I scored better from the tips with better competition than from the hack tees with hackers. I played with our head pro, his assistant and two of their buddies who played hooters tour on and off a few times. I shot 71 (72par course) with five birdies. Game was 'wolf'. I lost 108$. I was sick. Went toe to toe but unlucky as hell. I always keep score. Me vs the course. They didn't put out or even finish the hole if it wasn't relative to the wolf game. But I know none of them had any better than par in them that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in the class with you guys especially now...and have never been much of a gambler at golf but have been invited to play Wolf a few times....never felt I understood the game...and declined which sounds like a good decision on my part...

alexava 6,972 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Always played with 5 never four. Assume it could work just the same though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
