July 17, 200422 yr Do many of you play? If so what is your handicap or what do you usually shoot. Any good stories about a great shot. When I worked for a golf course for a couple years I would play almost every day. Got my handicap down to about a 10 or 11. Came in third in our Club Championship which was match play. Probably should have been better but I choked hard, up 3 with four to go. Man makes 2 30 footers and on the second playoff hole the hardest on the course, I make par and he has about a 25 footer straight downhill and he somehow drains it. I play better with matchplay because I'll usually par most every hole but I have holes where I'll get a triple or worse which is why my handicap is so high.
July 17, 200422 yr I don't know my handicap as I just started 6 months ago but now my drives are up to 225 yards at least about 60 % of the time and they are straight with a bit of fade on it. Yes I did have a great shot. On the 9th hole of the Briar Bay Golf Course (I went only 9 not 18) I hit a tee shot with my 5 wood and it landed with 3 feet of the hole. On that same hole another time I hit it to the left of the hole into the bunker and I chipped it out on my second shot and made par. My amazing shots.
July 17, 200422 yr Im 6 handicap, drive it about 265 on average Ive had a couple of shots land within a foot or 2 of going in but no eagles yet
July 17, 200422 yr Author I've had 4 eagles in my life, only one that was from long distance. Number 9 at Prince William, I was about 150 out, uphill shot. Ball takes three bounces and goes in. I guess that was my best shot. The other three all came on the same hole which was a complete joke. Par 5 like 510, but about 275 down the fairway there is a huge hill and if you hit it the ball will roll to 50-75 yards, and this was a dry summer so the fairways were a little harder anyways. And second shot being from 150-200 hitting the green in three was easy. A par with that hole is a disappointment.
July 17, 200422 yr my best round ever was a -1 at Pinehurst #2 a few years back only time I ever shot under par
July 17, 200422 yr my best round ever was a -1 at Pinehurst #2 a few years back only time I ever shot under par 461961[/snapback] You gotta be kidding. That's like one of the hardest courses in the U.S.

July 17, 200422 yr Author Wow Pinehurst, pretty damn good. I wanna play Pebble Beach some day. Think it would be amazing to play there.
July 17, 200422 yr I've been to Pebble Beach but didn't play it. A beautiful course. Anyways I don't have too many highlights in my golfing history.
