Nice job ‘sotacat. Never had one. Hit the pin once. Another time I didn’t see my ball and got excited that it was in but then found it like 25 yards away in a bunker buried AF.

The coolest part is my Son In Law is the golfer been teaching me two years and this is how it went.
Number 8 old elks Salina.

“Nice ball pops! Left to right slight fade hits the left fringe bounces out up and to the right.” Oh crap nice bounce Pops? Hits front of left green starts rolling  slightly right towards pin. “ hey Pops nice roll Get in the hole” then doink in and out of sight!

Then it’s we both look at each other dead silent then the whole friggen lot of anyone on the front nine knows something went down. Two guys over on number three yell out what’s up I shoot them the number one sign and the older guys says nice job now get some beer!,  man what a deal!

Congrats Minncat, what a great feeling that must be.  Whenever I hit one that looks like it's heading toward the pin I bat flip my club just in case it goes in and then I'll have the coolest hole in 1 ever.

There are some big transmission lines that run along the south side left and a house there with a shed. You might be thinking of the muni? no transformer though.

Such an up and down battle, I was up 3 strokes after the first hole then 420 serious cat went into steady eddy mode while I melted down.

Going into the 6th hole I was down 4 strokes but determined to win the dang day! Ended up sinking a 15ft putt on the last hole to tie it up and send it to OT.

I absolutely crushed my drive on the playoff hole and am putting for birdie while 420 is putting for par.....I let the nerves get to me and ended up 3 putting while ole steady eddy 420 sunk his first putt to make par.

Just a great evening of golf. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190816/593d7b231a304c0ac3c1fa9c82469ceb.jpg)

I hit a crazy fade sometimes and I know it always throws people off when I line up left to strike the ball. Ben JI noticed this and was like "Uh, wacky..." and I was like "Yeah, I know, but just watch this"  :lol:

A good pro can fix that in a couple of lessons. I had a nice banana slice and would aim waaaaay left. Now, I play the left edge and fade to the middle on most days.

when i used to golf i would line up and stare as hard as i could at the ball and then swing like a champion.  320 yards later that puppy would be sitting just a sand wedge from the hole.  ever-y single time.

Wow, that sounds like a lot of fun. I think hitting it far is pretty lame though. If I get too close, I have to use a wedge and I suck with wedges. I'd rather be 150-170ish out.  :gocho:

Reminds me of an old guy one time about 30 years ago hooked  up with us over on Stagg hill and the dude shot par even golf! Whipped our young asses at the time drove 150, second shot 150, chip then drain a friggen par just about every hole .

Now I’m the olds and still try to crush it all the time and consistently hit it about 235 but man that guy was straight and steady man!

Ole Steady Eddy got me again by 1 stroke  :shakesfist: but I'm putting a * next to it. I got a quadruple bogey on the 1st hole before we started playing 2 balls each so that hole shouldn't count IMO.

Without that quadruple bogey I would of beat him by 2 strokes.  :gocho:

Playing 2 balls each was a blast. Would Play each ball all the way through and just take the score from the lowest ball as your final score. Definitely made it more fun and if you knew one of your balls was in a good position already you could try some riskier shots with your second ball.

Also allowed us to keep a safe distance from the grouchy group of 2 old couples ahead of us.

I came really close last night to getting my first hole in one, guys. Also, I piss pounded the ball with the new rod. Played the OP again and we barely got 9 in and we started at 5. It's getting dark early now and I hate it.  :frown: Also, Ben Ji, we need to PAK sometime at their restaurant. Their specials are amazing!

Here is the course layout superimposed over google maps. Its a 9 hole par 3 course where each tee box shares the same hole.

Holes vary from 110-160 yards.

Here is the "green" which is actually greener than the normal course since we water it every day. If you don't water it the ground is hard AF and your tee shots roll forever.

The hole is a 12" pot we buried in the dirt, flag pole is a old hoe and the flag is a Penzy Spices bandana that we found (lookies hippie as crap so we love the contrast on the farm course)

Behind the flag is our an old corral we mowed down that plays like a sand pit and the single water hazard of the course (a livestock water thing that leaks)

CAT RANCH LLC COURSE RULES

1 breakfast ball on the 1st and 10th holes

1 mulligan per 9

If your ball lands in the windbreak you are allowed to move it out of the windbreak without taking a stroke (this is to encourage us to find all the balls that land in the windbreaks).

If there is no decent grass where your ball landed you are allowed to move it 1 club length to find a better piece of grass. Also if a building we care about is in the way of your ball and the hole you are allowed to move your ball until you have a clean line to the hole.

Post by: ben ji on May 04, 2020, 09:45:01 PM
Hole 1 is a 110 yard par 3 with a partially obstructed view. This is where I got the hole in 1 yesterday, bounced it just past the road and got a lucky bounce into the hole (still counts).

One of the easiest holes on the course.

Hole 2 is a 120 yard par 3 that seems pretty simple but when you have a 20+ MPH wind at your back its pretty easy to end up in the windbreak behind the hole using a wedge.

Hole 3. This one is a long 155 yard par 3 that follows the main driveway/rutway into the homestead. Gotta grip it and rip it on this one.

Hole 4. So you thought it was just simple tee shots hugh? Nope!

This is a 140 yard par 3 where you cant see the hole from the tee box. As long as you clear the diagonal windbreak you should be in good shape.

Hole 5 is a 120 yard par 3 that is typically the easiest hole on the course but if you go right and your ball rolls down the cart path/ruts it could keep going for days putting you in a tough position. I've rolled one all the way down to the gas tank.

Hole 6 is definitely the toughest hole on the course. Its a 160 yard par 3 from the pony pen where you have to clear a windbreak at 120 yards with 5-10 mini ponies aggressively circling you as you tee off. I melt down on this hole all the time.

Hole 7 is a pretty simple 130 yard par 3 assuming you can ignore the mini ponies circling you desperate for attention.

Hole 8 is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. Its only 115 yards but its 100 yards to clear the mowed down corral/sand trap. Depending on the wind I've hit a wedge/9/8 on this hole.

Post by: ben ji on May 04, 2020, 10:17:44 PM
Hole 9...man I hate this hole. No wiggle room for error. 120 yards to clear the mowed down corral and 130 yards to the hole. Also if you hit it 10 yards to the right you are behind a windbreak, 20 yards to the right of the hole you are in the cattle pen by their water feature.

20 yards to the left and you are in more windbreaks or hopefully another fairway.

The only safe way to play this hole is to use an 8 iron and hopefully land it in the "fairway" behind the hole and pray for a par.

Tiger would shoot at least -18 on that course. I'm not being critical of the course, as I would gladly play it and wish I had that setup myself. It's good to have land.

one time at the driving range with stunted I was using one of his old drivers and hit the ground and the ball and the head of the driver went significantly farther than the ball.  If you could throw the golf ball up in the air and hit it with a baseball bat it'd be a way more fun game.

Played 18 with ole @420seriouscat69 (or steady eddy) at painted hills today. I legit played the best round of golf in my life and he beat me 85 to 86.

On the 4thish hole(par 5) he shanked a drive into the woods, took his mulligan and hit that about 20 yards AND STILL GOT A PAR ON THE HOLE.

I tried crap talking to get in his head (sure you wanna use that club? Are you reading the break of the green right? Etc) but it barely helped.

I am now 0-3 against steady eddy and every single game has come down to 1 stroke.

Finally got the best of ole @420seriouscat69 tonight and whooped his ass up and down the fairway at Sykes Lady. I shot a 95 and he ended with a 105.

After him beating me by 1 stroke for the last bazillion times I finally laid the lumber to him (probably because he made a rookie mistake and ate chipotle for lunch when our tee time was at 4).

Hey guyz, I might be addicted to the golf smack because OMG it feels so amazing when you play well and I can't stop playing. I've played 4 rounds in the past week including painted hills 2 days in a row (not by design, just happened) and am playing 9 holes today after work with a co-worker.

Tuesday - Fred Arbanas - 104
Friday - St Andrews - 93
Sunday - Painted Hills - 85
Monday - Painted Hills - 85 (Through 17)
Today - Heart of America

Is there a higher high than bombing a drive then crushing an iron onto the green from 150+ yards out? I doubt it man...but then you end up 3 putting for a bogey and the golf smack high goes away until the next hole and you have to start chasing the dragon all over again.

We shot a 60 this weekend, brother. Which was amazing, because the first 9 we were shooting into 25+ mph winds out there.

ben ji i am going to be completely honest with you my dude...nothing gets me jizzed up like when i hit an iron onto the green and then it backspins. even if that backspin is making the ball roll further away from the hole i'm just like oh eff yes spin babey!!

Yes, that is an amazing feeling. I have no idea how to put backspin on the ball but when it happens its magical...I prefer when you crush a 9/wedge sky high onto the green and stick the ball like 6 inches away from where your massive divot is. COMPLETE CONTROL.

Hit a hole in one when I was in high school at McConnell Air Force Base, Twin Lakes Golf Course.  It was where our team practiced.  I don't think the course is there anymore but it was hole #2, 129 yards, 9-iron.  Pured the shot, landed about 5 ft below the hole, rolled up and hit the flag and stuck between the hole and the flag (it was windy).  I could still see the ball so just thought it hit the pin.  When I turned around to put my club in the bag the ball fell in the hole and all my buddies started cheering.  Needless to say it was pretty sweet, even if I didn't see it fall in.  It was acknowledged in the Wichita Eagle, but they got my last name wrong. :(  Luckily the golf course gave me a plaque, so the paper isn't my only proof!

Got the first eagle of my life at Sycamore Ridge on sunday morning. Hole 9 Par 4, crushed the drive about 250 into the middle of the fairway then holed out a wedge from 135 yards. They had one of those ball stoppers in the hole so I thought it was right next to the hole until we pulled up to the green.  Ended up with an 89  :gocho:

Discovered a super secret life hack yesterday...Book a round of golf on Easter Morning.

I was by myself, a small group a couple of holes ahead of me and no one behind me so I ended up playing 2 balls the entire time. Twice as much golf with no waiting!

I've been playing alot of golf this summer and actually practicing putting/short chips.

Almost broke 90 at St Andrews (OP, not UK) the other day. I'll pretty much be on the tour if I keep improving at this rate.

Going from averaging 3 putts to 2 putts is definitely the easiest way to drop your score quickly.

Just got done playing 18 at Tiffany Springs up by MCI and shot a 101, woof.

The good part was I played with my buddy and some of his clients so I didn't have to pay anything.

The bad part was they play the back tees because they are good so I played it with them and they all beat me by 15ish strokes.

Great course though, would play again.

Nope, it was an elevated green. My son ran up and looked after I hit because we knew it was going right at it. My son getting excited about golf within the last couple years has been great.
