As a good golfer (+4 hcp), I can honestly say I would shoot over 100 easily, but, alas they won't let me play...damn exclusive membership BS!.

Welcome to this thread, Mr.Cleburne.
I am very happy to see that a subject matter expert joins our little club (born in the Masters home and Hcp 4... )
Thanks first for your notes on the field at Augusta National, we all know only from TV or video games. It's a shame you can not play for verifying that your we explain difficulty.
On the other hand, let us hope that sharing other experiences in our sport / addiction, sure will serve us to know it better.

Ah yes, another topic, I love the image of your signature ... Who is she?

Thanks and ...

Salut !

Hi golfers!
After a few months away from the golf courses, today i'm back to play.

These are some shots of a nice course, in a nice day (which began with an intense fog, and 4ºC)

I don't think golf is discussed much in this forum, unless it's for off the course stuff like Tiger Woods various train and car wrecks but Phil Mickelson has said some things very recently that are the very definition of WHAT. THE. FUCK??!!!

Phil is one of a number of golfers who play on the PGA tour who have been talking with the Saudi's about their proposed SGL (Saudi Golf League) which purportedly would offer even more obscene purses than offered on the various PGA tour events where the average purse for winning a PGA tour event is around $1,500,000. For a little more than 20 hours work.

But apparently that isn't enough for Mickelson who it also turns out is an inveterate gambler whose gambling losses were so bad he had to sell his Golfstream private jet, which he often referred to as "one of my kids."

Now that is NOT the WTF quote.

THIS is the WTF quote:

“They’re scary motherfuckers to get involved with,” he said. “We know they killed [Washington Post reporter Jamal] Khashoggi and have a horrible record on human rights. They execute people over there for being gay. Knowing all of this, why would I even consider it? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to reshape how the PGA Tour operates.”
