What to do?

 It was Sunday May 30, 2021.  The AGA was hosting a tournament at Delaware Springs GC in Burnet Texas.  The course was in good shape and the greens were rolling fast.  

As a group I think we had some fun.  But I want to highlight one specific shot.  What would you do in this situation as a right handed golfer?

Golf balls can end up in precarious situations so be creative and find a way to save as many strokes as possible.

Happy Golfing!

Sometimes Rules are Beneficial

 Austin Golf Association tournament on June 13, 2021 at Roy Kizer GC.  It was a very hot hot day.  I had the pleasure of playing in the same foursome as I did at Delaware Springs.  These are really a competitive and supporting group of golfers.  The course was in great shape.   I was playing really but my putter was letting me down.  I had three 3-putts and yikes a 4-putt on a par three where I hit the green.  Yes I missed a 6 inch put as I watched roll around the hole in disbelief.   Before I get to the rules I need to share what happened on hole 16.  I pull hooked a shot off the tee deep into the woods.  The hole was cart path only.  I pulled my bag off the cart and lugged it across the fairway to take my drop from the lateral hazard.  It was not a far walk, but the heat damn near killed me.  I hit a great approach shot, but was just short and essentially buried into the bank of the bunker in front of the ...

 I have said this several times, but the Austin Golf Association is a great group of people.  On September 19, 2021 we had a tournament at Morris Williams Municipal Golf Course.  I had not played there in probably 25 years.  I was looking forward to it.  I have been on a Paleo reset in attempt to become healthier and I know I need to walk more.  I had the brilliant idea that I would walk this course.  I purchased a really nice push cart, Bag Boy Nitron. Since I was planning to walk I wanted to let someone in the group know so I emailed a playing partner, Paul.  Here was his response to my email, " So a 5 hour walk in 98 degree heat might be tough on me. The last time I walked that course it was 5.8 miles and 108 flights of stairs. I was exhausted."  This should have been a sign.  I think I was a bit optimistic because a few days earlier it was cooler in Austin Texas.  Of course the heat index for 9/19 was above 100 degrees. I starte...
