Title: Scenes from last November

Craziest tournament I've ever played in. Due to a horrible forecast the course was empty, so we played as a 14-some, stableford, alternate shot, 27 holes. That's me at :46, 1:02 (hit a great drive), 1:29 (can't believe that didn't release downhill to the hole; thought it was perfect), and at 1:42 (hitting a terrible pull into the left bunker).

That pull was on #9, a biarritz hole that made for some crazy swings in the action. 180 yard carry over water to a green bisected with a 5 1/2 foot deep swale. Easy hole to 4-putt.

Well, not good! We were in second place after 18 holes but faded on the last 9 (after lunch, punch, and too many pints). I think we finished 6th of 7 teams. Iirc, we had 39 points and the winners were at 44. It was close all around, so no biggie.

lol. I thought the exact same thing. I bet JDerions nipples aren't as hairy, though.

They aren't, and they're much less pixelated, too.

Then we are related.  I don't get it, either.

Psst -- they think we look alike.  And apparently, my nipples have a reputation for hirsuteness.  Yours, as I have revealed, are dreamy.

If you still don't get it, then once again, Scotland Run, 2:45 PM Sunday, first-floor men's room, third stall along.

Cool video.  But I've got to ask, how long does it take a fourteensome to play a round of golf?

It was alternate shot, so it's only seven balls in play. The guys who aren't hitting act as forecaddies, so there is no searching for balls.

So seven guys tee off, and the other seven are acting as forecaddies. The forecaddies then walk to the shots and play them long before the guys who teed off have even reached the spot where their tee shots landed. Basically, you tee off and walk straight to the green. The putting is what takes the longest.

We started at around 9:30 am, took a 1.5 hour lunch, and finished by 5pm, for 27 holes.  Basically, we played at a 4 hour pace.

Sounds to me like it would have been a blast. ;D

That was five months ago...and I was drunk.

It's getting better, I swear it. I just needed to add a little knee flex. Meanwhile, my alignment is WAY better than it was.
