Three games in three days. Thursday was a stinker, yesterday was OK

 but we were on a horrible stupid course

I hate, today was excellent fun and I shot my best round of the year (100). Getting the hang of my new driver and loving it, I've never hit the ball this far before.

Why was the course horrible let alone stupid?

Build's character.  Get back up on your horse and show that 'stupid' course who's boss.   Be JE.

Because it's designed and maintained in such a way as to disproportionately punish good shots, many holes don't have a risk/reward element. Greens that have the pin halfway up a steep slope, so a good fifteen foot putt that's two inches wide of the cup and a perfect weight finishes eight feet away, and so on and so forth.

It is a shitty course that we only went to because our club had a tournament on that day.

They will, but badly designed courses will just make me angry.

How could you be angry on the course, if you're drunk.


I think you might be doing this wrong.

You sound like my son explaining why he took 25 strokes on a mini golf hole.

Greens like that are more like mini putt than a proper golf course.

I've been playing on and off for 35 years, I know the difference.

If you can't tee off while i yell "WATCH OUT FOR THAT BEE!!!" in the middle of your backswing......you're not that good.

I think it's pretty clear by now that I'm not good.
