We are playing with house money today. Hawaii/Stanford o 49.5 for a half unit and giggles.

Tailing again since it may just be your day

I’m going with the Timmy Chang factor. He used to throw for 10,000 yards a game and now that he is the coach I see him having his offense move fast and vertical. The only thing that worries me is the ineptitude of Frank Reich and Stanford. We need them to be competent on offense.

Congrats. I've never, so close so many times, but never goes in.   

Ive played for a long time and am a decent golfer and never made one.  Actually out of our pool of 8 guys only 1 of them has one, which was years ago.   They are all decent to good golfers. (5-13 handicaps)  Sorta bizarre really.  I keep thinking each year we are due to see one in the group and it just never happens.

Last year I was this close:

This year I'm struggling with my yardage.  Last week hit one I thought was perfect, landed short of the green. Next time I played that hole I clubbed up. Landed in the exact same spot. Lots of shots short. No idea why I'm losing power. Age, elevation, heat, humidity. No idea. Need to figure it out on the range I guess.  

Next time I'm near the last out at the club I migʻht just circle around and play the 3 pars over and over. That would count right? Lol.

You’re in Virginia now?  Likely have the same humidity fluctuations we have here in Ohio. I have stock yardages I hit on a simulator, but it can vary depending on weather conditions outside. I try to gauge things on the range before a round and then always see where I want to miss on a given hole. Add or subtract a club depending on where I would want to hit the next shot assuming I’m not putting

A blocked FG and Hawaii running the screen game does not make me want to drink less. 

[BiffTannen 987]

27 points at half is a bonus, but Fock. These offenses look retsrded. 

[BiffTannen 987]

The blocked FG is going to Fock us

Just got my first ever hole in one. 8 iron from 157 on #12 at Browns Run Country Club. My dumbass was so excited, I tee the ball up on the next hole and pulled it left close to OB and damn near lost it. Was able to grab it and will be going in a glass case later 

awesome. I've never had one. Came close last October at a really difficult course... at least the greens are murderous and the slope is 136 I think... Stanton Ridge in NJ. Hole 12, 7 iron, front pin was probably playing 170. Landed just over the pin and slowly rolled back right past the hole, wound up 5 inches below.

I then drove the green on 13 and proceeded to 3 putt for par 

Man, if I got one I would immediately put that ball in the golf bag valuables pouch!, glad you didn't lose it.
