Random stats
Number of holes in 1:
Zero- wah! Dave has 2 the bahhstahhd.
Closest to a hole in 1:
6 inches on a 200 yard hole. Wah, Dave, give me one.
Number of clubs thrown:
6- but not since 1997
Number of clubs broken:
1- But from a shot, not from anger. The meat of the 3 iron broke right
in the center of the face. Gotta love those Northwestern starter sets.
Longest distance club thrown:
60 yards, but it was from a wet grip and the driver went flying.
Number of mild profanities:
7547 and counting
Most used profanity:
Shazbot, for the PG rating
Number of courses banned from:
Paul Harney for bad cart behavior, but I was 16 at the time and they don't
recognize me any more.
Number of golfers struck by my ball:
1- My Dad, but I was also 15 and it was a gentle pitch shot which only
made him mad.
Number of animals struck by my ball:
1- a goose. What a laser worm burner I hit too. I felt bad, but it seemed
no worse for wear.
Number of golfers struck by another's club:
1- A partner and I were standing about 75 yards from Nelly. His grip slipped
and went helicoptering towards us. I side-stepped it and the other guy tried
to outrun it and got struck in the back of he legs. No harm, but wounded
pride.
Coldest round played:
29 degrees at Stowe North.
Hottest round played:
105 at New Seabury on July 4th, 1999.
Worst Sandtraps:
Franklin Park Muni. Very rocky, hit two rocks on two different holes causing
a bad rotator cuff injury.
Worst weather, unfinished round:
Hail the size of marbles falling at Crystal Springs with Dave, 1998. We
gave it up when lighting struck about 600 yards from us.
Worst weather, finished round:
1999 Possum Trot, Myrtle Beach. Ligthing struck about 700 yards from us
and we hid under a small bathroom hut until the microburst passed.
Weirdest partner:
The guy who was a golf ball thief, even took a couple after knowing they
came from another foursome.
Worst golf partner:
Guy in tournament who identified my ball before I got to it, then gloated
about the 2 stroke penalty after I noticed that I struck the wrong one.
Worst accusation:
Inaccurately called for cheating by one who wasn't in viewing position
when witnesses with proper view defended me.
Worst smack spoken:
Guy who I wasn't playing against called me a gay man to try to rattle
me. It didn't. But we weren't even playing against each other.
Most amusing incident on tournament:
The strippers who served beverages getting booted of the course, only
then to tag along with some foursomes and doing cartwheels up and down the
course.
Hole that owns me:
Blackstone #18, once I hit a provisional after putting my ball in the
woods, and hit that one into the woods too, so my partners kept dropping
balls to enjoy my hitting ball after ball in the woods. Definitely not my
day.
Worst round ever:
1999 Glen Dornoch, shot 109 and wanted to be drinking heavily at the 11th
hole.
Worst score ever:
125 at Ballymeade with Pat from the tips, can you say, um... mistake.
Best round ever:
84 at New Seabury from the tips in 105 degree heat with playing partners
who were playing really poorly and goofing around. My best score is actually
77, but not from a championship teebox and not with conditions so brutal,
so this was a good one.
