On the 17th hole at Washington National:

http://63.231.33.189/WAnatl/gallery.aspx?ID=128#

1) Hit tee shot 210 yards in the fairway, so far so good. (I was a little left of where the pic is taken from.

2) Pull 3 hybrid into first of the way more humongously deep in person bunkers you see in the pic on the other side of the creek.

3) Come out of humongous bunker sideways, because I don't carry an 82* degree club that I can hit 110 yards of said bunker.

4) 99 yards left, easy sandwedge and putt. Unless you chunk the wedge and end up 60 feet short of the flag.

5) Chip in.

Yawn...

Congratulations!  8)


Now, how did the rest of your round of golf go? :D

LOL...nice work

ROFLMAO!!! [sm_laughatyou] [sm_rolling]

why don't you have an 80* wedge?  or at least a 73*?

That sucker is SERIOUSLY deep... >:(

I've been in it a couple of times now.

It's my own fault, really. The SMART way to play it is to hit one down to just over the cart path and hit a 7 or 8 iron on, but NOOOOOOOOO, I want to have wedge in and make birdie.... ::)

Because I hate America and Dave Peltz, just maybe not in that order...

give it a try.  8)

I'm thinking that to hit that the required 110 yards with the elevation the shot required, I'd have to put the SMT Basalt shaft from my Shinnie in it, although I could probably cut it down to 43.5 inches... ;D

LOL!  I'd hit myself in the forehead.

There was (or maybe is) one of those floating around fig's for awhile.

Not sure who has it now.

Probably Baaab's

not if you do the routine i told you to work on  :-[

So you did a Boo Weekley huh? I can't say anymore w/o a "spoiler" tag.

How'd you shoot? seemed like a nice day, a bit windy but maybe not up there at WashNash.

Congrats. 8)

Wow, 73° [sm_shock]

Scored an 88, but that's with 2 doubles on the first 2 holes that were actually DQ's for improper drop, lost ball, etc, etc.

The course had been punched and sanded earlier in the week, but it was still very playable. A few of the greens were questionable, but they had it playing pretty easy to make up for it.

Weather was really, really good for south King County in April, ie it didn't rain and the sun even came out a few times.

Didn't notice that it was windy...

Are you all practiced up yet?  ;D

Oh, sure, I ask how the rest of your round was, and you ignore it.  Seamus asks how you did, and you give a nice reply. ::)

Nice shootin' there Tex, the only time I played it was after the NCAA men's tourney, she was pretty beat up all right but still very nice.
I'm close, I'm in a scramble on Saturday the 28th and I would like a coupla' rounds before that, I'm thinkin' next Tuesday the 24th the good lord willin' and the creek don't rise.

Dear E-A-G-L-E!,

The rest of my round was very nice, and it was fun to play with MikeW, Howard and Dave again. We last played at Gold Mountain, another premier PacNW course on a gorgeous day last fall.

I played fairly well, with a couple of miscues swingwise (a topped ball on 15 ended up going into the waste area, probably a 75 yard shot) and I'm still losing 'The Big Dog' right more than I'd like.

FWIW, I did get the Dale Earnhardt Intimidator driver out for this one, and it plays very, very well.

Love,

MFAWG

rofl!  Thanks for the recap.  Sounds like a grand time. 8)

BTW, FX still says the "Intimidator" is spelled wrong. Should I spell it as "Intimadator" again? ;)  (Well, FX says that's wrong, too....)

Oh, and it's so nice that someone can tell when I'm joking...

OMG, I forgot all about that!!!!

You had me checking online dictionaries for about 10 minutes after that one, ROFL!!!!



Where's your scramble at? Maybe we could do some spyin'....

lol indeed!  I had forgotten about that until I read your post, then figured you mentioned it just for that purpose.

10 minutes? [sm_rolling]

Auburn GC. I hate Auburn for really only one reason, no practice range, it's become very important in my "old" age that I hit a bucket before I even think about playing.

I'm as ready as I'll ever be MFAWG, it was more about getting over that mental feeling that I'm gonna blow a disc again.

I'm going mental I must say! I need to play!

I could do Auburn on Tuesday. I haven't played it in a couple of years.

It might be a good idea to play it before your scramble. I've heard a couple of the holes have changed a little bit...

I've played it since the re-design (nothing too drastic I must say), I really need to hit a bucket before I play, How about Kent?, or anywhere else for that matter, as long as they have  driving range. I'm open LOL.

What I heard was that a couple of the holes were changed since last year, specifically that goofy straight uphill par 4 (11 or 12?) has been considerably lengthened, and something about 'The Launching Pad' par 4 coming back down...

Where do you live?
