@jdb The only time I think I've ever felt sorry for a pro athlete was when he was in the thick of that. Just brutal to watch and can't imagine how turrible that must be.

@jdb That's hilarious. I suspect I'd still lose to chuck over 18. It's a bummer as that's a sport you can play until you're old as dirt

There's a celeb event in Tahoe every year and it's a hoot to watch. Rick Rhoden has won it like 8 times. Romo, Mark Mulder, Billy Joe Tolliver have all all won it 3 or more times and who knows how many runner ups. Pro athletes in baseball, football, hockey, etc... who are also scratch golfers. I should hate them for it, but it's amazing.

@hooky Like I said. I don't get it. I tried very hard to even be average and couldn't come close.
Pond in one?@twenty speaking of nerdy shit. one of my partners got back yesterday from a golf trip with his college buddies to play sawgrass. He’s bald and I guess got real drunk and fell asleep because the entire top of his head is peeling. Anyway he’s all fired up to show me this thing he’s now displaying in his office. It was like a badge or an ornament or something with TPC and his name and all this shit so I shouted OH MY GOD YOU GOT A HOLE IN ONE!!! And he goes no asshole I parred and I forgot whatever hole it was. But he had basically a trophy made for himself that is now prominently displayed in his office.
You forget what hole? It's one of the most iconic holes in the sport.
Don't get me wrong, it would be cool to par this hole (I bogeyed even after hitting the green), but that's not worth a trophy. Tell him he needs to reprioritize his life.
