I understand your pain, I should change the thread to "Nightmares on the green", I was on a course that is a tough one even for profient golfers, all I should have done was drve the cart. but I hacked my way around got to this one green the greens keeper place the cup on a flat spot that slope up to the cup 360 degrees never did get it in the cup but every one else did. I'd still be there today trying but insults and adjectives from the other foresome forced me to leave

There are times that I want to take a shovel to the course with me and make some of the holes about 6ft around so if you had to you could make a beach ball in it.

That's mean! But a good groundskeeper will balance that hole with one that is 360 degrees falling in the hole! Then again... some people are just mean

I gave it my best today, end of term, had my grades posted, no students and on the course I went. it was 38F or 3 to 5 C every thing was going well and I couldn't hit a fairway wood by the 7th hole. My chipping and pitching was wonderful, stevel1017 you would have been grinning knowing you gave me a tip and its working. Golf teaches how to lose with style and still feel like a winner.

Golf a funny old game isn't it one aspect of your game can be really down on a day like hitting with your fairway wood and then you chip great all day so it still feel like a great round and you don't worry about how you hit with the wood.it's a bit odd isn't it

I think that sometime the greens/ground keeper just likes to sit back watch all the golfers that he gets to frustrate and he gets to have a good old laugh about it.
