Had a 7:30 tee time this morning with my brother
http://www.fostergolflinks.com/-course-map

Apparently a "links" style course, not sure what that means. It was a really short course though.

Bogey'd 6 holes, double bogey'd 1 and par'd 2. Double bogey'd was hole 2. Tee shot put me into the bunker. 2nd shot went long. First putt was off by 15 feet still. Second putt i misread slope and missed by like 4'. Sunk on third putt.

Pars were on 1 and 6. 6 was almost a birdie, first shot got within 10 yards of end of green. Chip maybe 30 yards, short about 10 feet. First putt ends up like 2" from hole, dead on just short.

No 1 putts today. Which sucked.

After a few shitty holes, I just quit and drink beer in the golf cart. It's a great time as long as the weather is nice. But I don't want to keep chasing my balls that I hit off course.

I just bring like 20-30 to burn through. Not chasing/looking for a ball lol

If you're making par you're a helluva lot better than me. A bogey is the highlight of the day if I can make one.

i only play disc golf, but putting more than once stings so bad. last weekend i parked a drive 15' from the basket (285 foot hole), but had an awkward look at the basket (sitting on a hill) due to a tree. missed the putt, it rolled down the hill and then kept going and ended 20' from the basket. missed that one too :(

as i understand it im probably between 25th and 50th percentile of players right now. So below average at least.

i can generally hit straight-ish and don't overshoot too much. i can get on / near the green in a decent number of strokes, i just can't chip or putt for shit. i got a little practice green for 10' putts and less but its not helping much yet

I'd genuinely much rather just drink and go for a walk than play golf.

Playing hockey is fun as hell even though I can't skate for shit.

I've never played "big boy golf" in real life. I'd like to try someday

Recently I started getting interested in the sport and watching it on TV and playing golf video games
