Steph,
I hope I'm not backwashing in your Cheerios or threadjacking by posting a similar experience.
But, I have to give a big shout out to the Green Guy, myself. As you know, my son just turned 1! So, getting out has been a little infrequent and practice has fallen to a lesser priority. My son is a much bigger priority.
I got an opportunity today that doesn't happen very often. I got to play two days in a row.
Still there's no practicing, but I have the geometry that Yoda gave me (priceless).
I finished a pro-am yesterday at 72, solo 4th in the pros. One ball OB, too far through the fairway.
Today, I played a practice round for the GA Open. It's being played at a great course, 74.?/142, 7000+ yards. I was playing with three other local pros. Because we were gambling, I pulled a little risk/reward toward the end of the round and got the risk. Made a double on the 16th. One birdie and one bogey on the back, too. But the fun was the fireworks on the front. All I could see was $$$$$ signs (skins, team, individual).
I birdied
5 out of the first
7!!! Shot a smooth 32 on the side with one bogey.
So, then you start getting the complaints, "so, you're teaching everyday, huh?" "Looks like you're playing everyday to me!"
I didn't care about the complaints. I just held out my hand and collected.
What do you call 5 birdies in seven holes? Is that a gaggle, a covey, a flock, or a mass migration?
