I used to think golf was a old fat guy sport when I was younger. Now I love it. It’s relaxing with the right people, and I’ve never been golfing and not gotten drunk while doing so. By the end of the game you don’t know what your score is and you really don’t care.

I never got drunk doing it. Probably because I had to drive home. And I tended to golf in the afternoons on a weekday. (when I was self employed.)
Haven and I used to play together, occasionally with one or two others. All TOTALLY non serious play. We'd have fun rules like First ball you find in the rough near where yours went in is now yours. (we would only play that when we were virtually alone and there was zero chance we were grabbing a nearby player's ball) If we were putting and it was going too far whoever was holding the flag would "lose their balance" and accidentally put their foot down in the path, etc.
It was a total fun fest, and never serious. I couldnt even dream of playing serious, competetive Golf. That would ruin it.
Exactly. The group you play with makes all the difference. That’s how we played, more of an excuse to get together and hang out, while having something to do. I played one time with a guy from work that counted every stroke and putt, added penalties for going in the water, all that stuff... it was miserable.
I enjoyed it, some of the courses are beautiful. The Martinsville course off 37 was really nice. I wanna play at the brickyard crossing, but that’s a little expensive for a guy that already spends $20 on balls every game.
A little bit north of there, the 9th hole I believe at Bluff Creek is awesome. Only 100-ish yards but you drive the ball over the edge of a bluff and cant see the hole from the tee because its 75' below you. The rest of the course is cool, but not as cool as THAT hole.
Too bad it was a PRACTICE ROUND
Do you remember the game where we just gave up, and decided to see who could end up with the most extra balls at the end of the 9 holes? I think we were around +3 each on that trip.
Ya I love that hole. That’s the one up next to the club house I think. Been a while since I’ve played bluff creek, but it’s a nice relaxed course. I used to like the 9 hole course friendswood before they sold it. You could wear scandals and a tank top, and it was close to home so easy to go play a quick 9. Their 2nd hole was similar, par 3 with a huge drop to the green.A little bit north of there, the 9th hole I believe at Bluff Creek is awesome.

On behalf of all amateur golfers everywhere, you’re welcome. Most of my balls end up in the woods or water.Do you remember the game where we just gave up, and decided to see who could end up with the most extra balls at the end of the 9 holes? I think we were around +3 each on that trip.

Or the time we had to convince the giant snapping turtle to get off the damn green?

yeah, that was fun. My ball landed right in front of him, and yours bounced off his shell. I think I took a drop on that one, since the turtle was angry.
