My golf game

I played golf the other day for the first time in fifteen years.

What a crazy game. Last Sunday I shot a 79. Even par 36 on the front, followed by a 43 on the back - with an 8. Don't get me wrong, 79 is a decent score for me, but I left the course feeling disappointed. I even said to my friend that shooting a 79 can feel so much better than it did that day.

Fast forward to today...I had a 43 on the front and an even par 36 on the back for a 79. I felt sooo much better about myself today than last week and I shot the same score.

I know nobody cares about other peoples' golf games....so it's pointless to post. But, a couple weeks ago, some work guys and I went out and played War Memorial in Little Rock which is a BYOB golf course (awesome) and where everyone tailgates before the Razorback games. Anyway, we had 5 guys, and broke it up into 2 teams of 2 that were scrambling or playing best ball...whatever they wanted on any given hole. And, then me. We bet $10 on who would have the low total....and then drank beer, smoked and joked. It was pretty awesome.

And, I won. Shot a 68 (par 64), but after being 3 under through 7....felt like a letdown. My blood sugar got low and, well, I was something like 8 over in those 3-4 holes. Terrible. BTW, that's not typical. I would say I'm probably a bogey golfer at this point. But, everything was clikcing. Trying to get back out there today. Hope we do.

Every course is BYOB.

Until you get caught.

One idiot friend just slapped a case in the basket of his cart and drove straight to the first tee a couple of years ago. Someone working the course confiscated it before we even reached the green. They did keep it in a cooler for us and gave it back after our round at least. And during the round I was able to get a greenskeeper to deliver us booze from the clubhouse since they didn't have a cart girl so it worked out I guess.

That's the point of the thread!

I always sneak a soft sided cooler of beer onto the course. I put it in the basket with my golf towels and wood covers over it. Never been caught.

I think most courses are starting to realize that many golfers bring their own beverages on the course. Heck, most bags have full coolers in them anymore. I'm of the belief that as long as you buy at least some of your beverages from the course they kind of look the other way. But, yeah, if you throw a case in your cart they're going to stop you.

Or pints of whiskey in our golf bags when playing in November and December.
