Title: I can see clearly now Post by: Uisce Beatha on September 11, 2007, 10:43:43 AM For what good it does me.
[sm_eek] Man, you would have laughed your ass off. I wore my new Rx sunglasses today and had one bogey, nothing better, and didn't get that until #9. I haven't added it up but it pushed 60 - seriously. My eyes and my brain were fighting it out. I was making smooth swings but the ball would come off pretty much any part of the clubhead. When I hit anywhere near the sweet spot the shots were good but there were tops, hosels, toes and even a whiff from the middle of the fairway. I need some range work with the glasses on for sure to get it worked out. I can see so much better with them on. The brain just doesn't believe it. I probably should have given them at least a couple of hours before walking on course. Basically, the trip home from the optical shop was the extent of my getting used to them.

Get to the range. Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: Uisce Beatha on September 11, 2007, 10:52:22 AM Hmmmm, this doesn't bode well for Bandon. We can't have both of us playing like that. Get to the range. Oh, I will. And if I can't figure it out I'll play without them. I'm hopeful it's just a matter of a couple of buckets. I'll tell you what though, I couldn't even get mad today. It was simply comical. I haven't scored that poorly in a few years. Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: Uisce Beatha on September 11, 2007, 12:36:08 PM LOL. [sm_disgust]

Tosser. Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: Uisce Beatha on September 11, 2007, 01:08:35 PM Only ONE quad? Lately I've been hoping for only one double per nine. Quote Tosser. Stipulated, counselor. Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: Uisce Beatha on September 11, 2007, 06:12:32 PM Index goes up 0.1 due to top-10 differential falling off the back end.
Sandbagger? Not according to the USGA but I don't like it. Never have. I think there are valid circumstances where 'declaring' a practice round makes sense. This be one.

Of course, but vanity bagging doesn't have negative associations. It's a tough thing to be sure. If I'd shot a good score I think it would have been confirmation the glasses didn't affect me negatively. Therefore, no reason to disqualify the score. I've posted it. It counts. I don't dispute that. I just don't like it. Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: JDerion on September 12, 2007, 01:17:09 PM I win
Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: Uisce Beatha on September 12, 2007, 01:46:26 PM I win Always. It's who you are. First range session as a four-eyes under my belt today at lunch. I think I'm fairly well sorted at this point. One more session as insurance before Sunday round. Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: spacey on September 12, 2007, 02:08:35 PM I win Always.

[sm_disgust] Don't feel bad, you would have beat Nat. ;) :D :P Actually, I was gonna say something similar. Something like, "If you call that a bad round, I don't think I'd want to know what you call one of mine."

At the risk of being a complete doo-doo head, I'd probably call it "time to take up bowling". :o :o :o ;) [sm_devil] Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: Torpedo on September 12, 2007, 07:03:48 PM At the risk of being a complete doo-doo head, I'd probably call it "time to take up bowling". :o :o :o ;) [sm_devil] Ha. ;D Title: Re: I can see clearly now Post by: E-A-G-L-E! on September 12, 2007, 08:03:11 PM Actually, I was gonna say something similar.

Haven't done it in years though 'cause most places the air was thick with smoke. Used to throw a 14 lb ball. My good games were moving closer to 200 all the time, not that they ever got that far.
