Fore! Who's playing golf, yo-

[guroo270]

Checked there. Never called anyone a cheater. I said someone else not raking a bunker or replacing their divot does not make it okay to cheat. It's the most fucking basic rule in golf, "Play the ball as it lies."

[GeezerSteve]

Right. Thus, anyone who agrees to ground rules where fairway divots are played as GUR is cheating, right?

Hey, wait a minute, you confessed that you will move a ball to avoid hitting a tree root with your club. Uh, what does that make you?

[Tye 1on]

nice cart girl pic.

[guroo270]

You might want to check the comment I was replying to that inferred moving a ball in a bunker like it was the same as a divot.

And, um, an honest golfer that cares about his well being and can't replace clubs at will? If it was a tourney id certainly take the necessary precautions.

[Tye 1on]

Well that's an easy one, Rule 28, Unplayable Lie. The player is the only judge of this, and it's the most underutilized helpful rule in the book.

[MotherFucker]

Good playing the round today MF and fritz! Good shit!

Yeah, bud. Was really getting fun towards the end there. Need to get more booze out there next time; maybe play a little later.

nice cart girl pic.

Thanks. She was a great sport about it. Sexier in person that the pic conveys. Maiki is the name. Pronounced "Mikey." Yeah, I thought it was a little weird too but it's unique so that's cool.

A few pictures from the Mountain Course in Incline Village LAKE TAHOE

I belive it just opened this week? Some areas a bit all in all it played nice. Its a par 3 course with 5 short par 4's shoved in there.

So here is my shot from the tee 179 Yards out

problem was I was three off the tee! so a 1 put bogey

Random shots

Little Steve, I bet you put an extra ball in your pocket as you walk towards the hazard you just hit it towards. "Found it!"

For the record, as a 15 year old I "score kept" for the Buick Open, I kept score honestly, and got no tip that was supposedly mandatory. TahoeJ has got to back me up on this one. He's the only one of my knockers that can have any idea of what I'm talking about. Buick open sand baggers? One guy gave me a used pro-v1 at the 18th and said, "thanks, kid.". I'm sorry I care about the game I love.

^^Congrats!

Now stfu.

Uh, no. Why must you falsely accuse people of cheating? Fuck you

Exactly

FWIW, I once walked on the Jubilee course at St. Andrews and played with a local who advised the custom there was to take free lies from divots in the fairway. The horror!

That is an awesome story, btw.

Guroo, MotherFucker, dudes, golf tomorrow? Parents out of town now? I am thinking somewhere more south.

Previous commitment. Heading out to Hall Ranch to test the Hardrock Pro I picked up on stuff a little more techy than what I've been getting out on. Gonna be the first real test for the achilies since getting the full go-ahead from the doc a few months ago. I've climbed and shit since then but nothing really harder than 5.6 so I really want to get out and push it tomorrow on the bike. It's been getting progressively less tense after every round walked and it's feeling really good after yesterday.

Appreciate the invite though. My next round is Saturday with the wife at Hylands South sometime before noon then next Thursday or Friday somewhere up here.

[TahoeJ]

If we're going to bring the opinion of tour pros like Ernie Els into this discussion, I can say that overwhelmingly they think the average amateur golfer should just try to have fun out there and not get too caught up with every little rule. That's been my experience, anyway, having played with a number of pros due to a friend of a friend who runs a company that sponsors several PGA players. My other takeway is that they sure like to gamble a lot to keep things interesting.

I'm going to go rally 9- which sometimes turns into 18- at Presidio before work tomorrow if any Bay Areaites are down.

[DasBlunt]

US Open SF meet and greet? I have playing privileges at Pasitempo too, maybe Cypress if the judge is in town.

the comments section has a little rule debate going on as well.

if i had been medalist as a result of her dq when she won by 9 strokes, i'd have given her my medal anyway.

We have grounds passes for Olympic but are on the fence about attending- seems ambitious with a seven-week-old child. So I may be looking to get rid of them soon, will post here.

DB - I'm down in Parker and generally play during the week (weekends reserved for family stuff and men's club tourneys). Shoot me a PM if you're interested in getting out with a chop sometime.

Cool. Weekdays for me too. PM will be sent at some point. chopping it up too. New kid and my game went to shit the past few years.

How is that course. I remember way back when, It was a private millitary course. Opened to public 15 years ago?

[RockChalk]

^^ Interested

7 weeks, congrats! I will be there hopefully. Not sure yet.

Sounds good. My index has actually dropped since we had kids ... which speaks volumes about how shitty I was.

What time are you thinking? I have to be in San Rafael by 9AM, could be interested.

Got through 18 at San Geronimo this morning in ~2 hrs...took me 30 minutes to get from the course to San Rafael, ridiculous.
