I hit the longest drive of my life today.
I drove the ball 30 yards past the green on a par 4. Was like a 285 yard blast. I love golf.

2. I'm tellin ya! 255 yard dogleg left.
Elevated green. I hit a perfect draw. The mofo landed on the green and almost rolled to the next fairway. That scuffed up Pro V is going in my case!

5. you don't wanna know man
I used to have no swing but could shoot the low 40's for 9 because I played every day. I met a guy who played on the Nike tour for 2 years and he taught me how the swing works. My ball striking is 1000% better but I can't score any more. I prolly shot around 100.

I bogeyed that damn hole. 30 yards past the hole, duffed a chip. Got on in 3, par putt lipped out.... %!#@%!%%!%!@%$#

6. I either hit it well and put like I'm blind, or roll in 30-footers for
double bogey...sigh...stupid game, just stupid. But I do enjoy it.

7. I've always been an addict but cash flow means I can't
play as much as I wish. This is my first time out this year, except for the 2 days in late januaryI snuck out there.

There was one time I was one under thru 7 and managed to make it 3 over before I was done!! lol

8. I used to play every weekend, but those days are gone.
I can play 18 holes for under 20 bucks when I walk. Now that the days will be longer, I can probably sneak in 9 holes before dark.

10. I did that once
Par 4, about 360. The drive went about 220 (and never got more than 20 feet off the ground, I swear). I hit a seven to the green — and three-putted the sumbitch. :banghead:
