kerrville, scot schriener 45+36=81

Notable for 3 birdies - my personal best, tied . . . cannever get 4 . . . 8^( . . . 45+36=81, 1 over par on the back, 3 birdies. Felt like Bryson DeChambeau last saturday for the first 7 holes . . . everything, was just-wrong, instead of just-right. +10 on those first 7 holes, +1 on the last 11 holes .. . . golf.

Ace on Scot Schreiner # 13 4 iron - JN6 re-enactment

2nd Ace at Scot Schreiner in Kerrvile, #13

well, first of all, to be clear:
it is my 2nd ace at all, 
not my second ace on this hole . . . 
this updates my superior metrics
but 
if i am to shoot my age, i need more eagles . . . 
the two balls for my holes-in-one,
now on my shelf-of-fame
11-10-01 & 02-16-20
every 19 years or so . . .

ACE # 13 Scot Schreiner in Kerrville





with our eyes stinging from the cedar pollen wafting mercilessly on the winds,
we could hardly see the ball,
plus that green is uphill a good bit
4 iron, 168 yds, quartering wind from the right hurting was a frozen rope
a west texas wind-cheater
that landed short of the green,
but the little bulldog bounced left away from the trap
tractored up the steep face to the green
and obviously to me rolled toward the cup
but still
the chances seemed minimal
having a terrible round -- 
but that's the way it goes with duffers
they get their aces during bad rounds
me and my witness

the scorecard

i'll update my chart of premium holes later.

foozle

Wordnik Word of the Day for July 01, 2019

foozle

1. transitive verb To do or deal with poorly or clumsily. from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

2. noun The act of bungling, especially a poor stroke in golf. from The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition.

4. noun In golf, a badly played stroke. from The Century Dictionary.

5. noun A tedious person; a fogy. from The Century Dictionary.

Too many recent sessions have ended with a "kill the foozle" as the solution, and Gini in particular said that it was nice to have an ending that could be resolved via diplomacy. Gamemastering Is An Art, Part VII: Catching Up

There are a frustrating number of mazes with "hunt the foozle" puzzles, wherein you have to find a switch that is wall-colored or walk through every tunnel until you find the one that actually goes somewhere. It's Beginning To Feel A Lot Like Christmas Is Over....

Not only did he foozle his drive badly, but his face was worried, and his forehead creased in a big frown. Partners In Crime

But with Harleston's entry the affair assumed quite a different aspect; and it is no reflection on you, Marston, that your expedition to his apartment didn't succeed; though somewhat later Crenshaw did act as a semi-reasonable man, and secured the letter -- only to foozle again like an imbecile. The Cab of the Sleeping Horse

'We can hardly be expected to foozle on purpose, just to let Archie show off before his girl.' The Man Upstairs and Other Stories

"I don't think my father would kid us," Paul said slowly, "but I know he would be awfully disappointed that we had made a business foozle." Paul and the Printing Press

There was a rumour running at large in the Academy that the Old Fellow wrote poetry, but he ran the mathematics and didn't make such a foozle of it as you might suppose, either. Lucy Maud Montgomery Short Stories, 1907 to 1908

The word 'foozle' comes from a German word meaning 'to work badly or slowly'.

74 at Scot Schreiner

. . . one birdie . . . 
caveats:
par 5 # 3 was played as par 3 due to maintenance . . . so 18 hole par became 68 instead of 70 . . . 
still: 74 is lowest score ever posted anywhere; 6 over par is lowest, also . . . 
i am very encouraged towards the goal of shooting my age . . . 8^) . . . 
we skipped 8 & 9 to get around slow players, then played them last . . . 
so i had 3 bogies on the last 4 holes, 2 3-putts, after putting unconcious the whole round.
everything was working, driving, fairway shots, short irons, chipping & putting

Mrs had 2 pars too . . . several other near misses . . .  her putting was very good , too.

Utopia Golf


The Buried Lies Cemetery -- and take a moment to parse the poetic levels of that phrase! -- is next to the golf course in Utopia Tx where the film "Seven Days in Utopia" was filmed . . . golf course seemed flat & uninteresting, really . . . . the best thing about the rather pious film was Robert Duval . . . about a down-on-his-luck pro golfer finding his game again . . .

Masters 2019 Amen Corner 4th Round

What HACK writes this script?

Koepka, Poulter, Finau & MOLINARI dunk it into Rae's Pond on # 12, Par 3, 156 Yds.
Tiger alone 
(someone is missing from the 2nd-last group, some also-ran) 
hit it to the middle of the green
between the traps
(IF he had come up short, it would have been in the trap, not the water)
