I will set up the next tournament on Monday - are we good with doing Thursday - Sunday tournaments with four rounds? Of course, you can play all four rounds in one day, but I figure having four days gives a bit of time for those that can only manage a round here and there. And will definitely bring back the power meter!
PGA Tour 2K21 is great fun but I suck so Iām done with online competition for this year LOL! Too much yelling and swearing at this end. Good luck all.
One of my better roundsā¦the two bogeys didnāt help me out. At one point I was in 3rd place in the Lighthouse Open, but the bogey on the 14th killed my momentum and it was just a scramble to not fall precipitously down the leaderboardā¦ I think I finished in 12thā¦
OK - so if you want to get a few practice rounds in - the next event will run from Thursday (Dec 3) to Monday (Dec 7) (I think letting it go into Monday might be better for those with time pressures on weekends).
We will be playing four rounds at the Bohemian Club - I gave the course a whirl today and I really like it. Sort of open play with not a lot of technical shots required. Iām pretty sure I have the settings the same as the last round, but added the capability of having the power bar at the bottom.
Iāve published the conditions in the Round Settings image below in case you want a look at the weather and course conditions. Looks like a storm is blowing in on Saturdayā¦but things settle out a bit for the final round/dayā¦so donāt lose hope!
Love that movie, and sceneā¦had one of those days about 2 weeks ago, in RL.
I was standing on 17 green, even par! Had just run my birdie putt 15 feet past (lipped out and went down a severe slope). Walked up, knocked that come-backer in and turned to my group, āIām waiting for the lightning strikeā. Even par for 18 holes is not something I do very often
As much as I love virtual golf, I should really get out on the actual links again. I played quite a bit when I was younger. My brother is a PGA pro (not a touring one). My Dad is a scratch golfer too. It always felt a bit like work to me when I was younger thoughā¦I was more into being in the woods and fishing and sailing. But now, I think Iād enjoy it.
Freaky. Similar story. Picked it up in the late 60ās, early 70ās - as a caddy for my dad (when I was strong enough to lug that old heavy leather bag around). Played through high school then, effectively, gave it up (was never very good) as exploring the next mountain range was more appealing.
Till about 5 years ago. A good friend of mine got me to try again. Yeah, some friend Now we go on golf outings once a year to exotic locations. Ok, maybe not so exotic.
Iām officially obsessed now. There is nothing like a purely struck golf shot. Oh, and I still carry the bag - golf is now officially exercise! Donāt laugh. I do notice a difference; I get about 12-14 miles (depending on how off line my drives are!) a week in, with 25-30 pounds on my back. Get dirty to. Found a good group to play with; all the lies and beer flowing afterwards make it, really.
Yeahā¦I almost always carried my clubs. I enjoyed the pacing it gave me. Iām sure Iād enjoy it even more now. Iām not a real social creature thoughā¦so random foursomes and stuffā¦I dunno. Is there such a thing as headlamp golf?
Same here; not real gregarious I guess. However, when I play by myselfā¦hmmmā¦my mind wanders; hit multiple ballsā¦start picking daisyās, chasing butterfliesā¦ This is about the right level of social interaction for me. The $3 team bet per round makes it interesting, without getting to that crazy place. This outfit isnāt real big on The Rules Of Golf. But thatās ok.
Thereās a few on the course, not many oddly enough. HOWEVER!..and I finally deleted the picture a few weeks agoā¦we have a LOT of black bears (they know when trash day is)ā¦
I hooked a 3W on a par 5 about 4 months ago (2nd shot) into the trees. Not too far, had a good chance of punching out. No need.
As I walked up a black bear was standing at the edge of the fairway, chewing on something. As I approached (he was what youād call a āteenagerā, not a full grown adult) he dropped it.
And I was now in play again! If somewhat worn and slobbery (rules not withstanding )
Guy in our group snapped a picture of him as I walked by but Iāve cleaned out my phone since then or Iād u/l it.
