I was fortunate to have started my professional career at Scioto C.C. and got to know many of Jack's high school and college buddies. In the three years I was there I heard so many stories about him and how long he was it was frightening. Even as a junior player he hit forever. It really would have been interesting to see him at a young age with "modern equipment".
Does that mean you worked with Jack Grout?
You must have som stories. Can I buy you a beer?

Jack grout was long gone by the time I got there. I was there from 1990-1992 and worked for Walker Inman III, who was the first native born Augustan to play in the Masters. I do have some great stories and I am always up for free beer!

Today I broke par for the first time, I shot a 69 from the forward tees 5000 yards and it was fun and I really felt how fun this game can be when you score. The changing feeling's and the focus on one shot at a time was fun. My alignments where great I didn’t have to try an overpower the course I could be smooth at one time I was 5 under but got so excited that I overcooked a 8 iron to a back bunker on a par 3 and wedge it up under the lip and took a double. So that brought me back down to earth; I settled down and pared out for the next 5 holes but they all were Birdie putts, how about that... Well now I will move to the next set of tees 5600 and I will try to go low from there.
I love this forum the scoring zone and the playing the game section.

Perhaps that post should go in the 'holies and polies' part of the forum!

Way to go!!! Keep up the good work and positive feelings going. Knowing you "overcooked" a shot under pressure is a great thing and you will remember it in the future. Keep us posted.
I have had a mental block keeping me from going low/breaking par for my entire life.................
So I tried this today in the rain (wanted a quick 18 ) I played from the red tees and shot 64! also I love this as a drill for finding problem areas,,,, mine is my wedge game, since I dont knock flags from close range. Looking forward to moving back, and then shooting scores from the tips now that I know what it feels like
