Or like last month when Colt (Vice Golf Colt) and I were at Westchester. And the guy (random single on the practice green) I invited to play with us showed up on the first tee with two Miller Lites for Colt and I… I turned to Colt and asked ā€œHow much are you comfortable playing for because this guy will play for a lot.ā€ We had a simple $1.00/point game between me, Colt and Michael. Now, consider, Colt can move it. He’s got a great swing and can take it deep. I’m not as good as Colt, but I can hang on a good day. Sure enough, by the time we get a few one-hitters and beers into our third player, we realize his nickname was ā€œThe Mayorā€ and he had made a later-in-life run at the Canadian Tour, Asian Tour and essentially was now just playing in money games across the city. My point here is; when you’ve been around enough to know the signs, you can see a hustler coming from a mile away. It’s all there. You’ve just got to put it together. I still stay in touch with The Mayor via text. He’s a favorite of mine.

Maybe this has already been done (if so, someone point me to that thread) but I for one would enjoy reading stories like these on a regular basis.

Going to derail the thread real quick. Just reread your gambling story from that tournament in Jackson Hole, WY. My anxiety would have been through the roof in that situation.

Thank you

I was just talking to my buddy Alby (who @GRWhitehead and @tj_denawli have played with) who was part of that…Fuck man. Makes me ill just to think about it.

My gui, I’d definitely step in to prevent that. I’ve got a scar on my lip from breaking up a fight in college. In other words, I never let my friends get beat down without taking shots myself.

I’ll go full Minnesotan and just say Keller looked prime and that it looks like @BaxterMSP put on one hell of an event that I’ll be sure not to miss again next year!

I was there for it. No gimmes. And if we’re being real - he could have gone a lot lower with a hot putter. It was the best display of ball striking I’ve ever seen. He had no idea where he stood in the competition until 13. Played the last 5 in -3 under pressure. @Billy_Baroo is decidedly a dog and a killer.

(dang…maybe not.)

Just in case anyone wants any other info, I’m an open book. But I’m sure most of this thread is pretty sick of hearing about my game.

Didn’t break 100 till I was 18, im 30 now. Broke 90 and 80 for the first time when I was 24 in the same week. Lowest round ever was a +4 74. Broken 80 maybe 7 or 8 times. Lowest I think my handicap has ever gotten was maybe a 13 or 12. I legitimately can’t remember but definitely nothing close to single digits. This isnt the first time I’ve had rounds like this. I have every shot in the bag. Just never all at once. Sometimes it comes together.

Honestly I just had the driver firing on all cylinders on Saturday. I’m the king of 6s with a lost ball OB off the tee. Combine that with the first set of irons I’ve ever had that are fit to me, 2 degrees upright, and things are going to happen. Trust me, I care much much more about seeing my handicap drop below 10 than anything else.

And this is officially the most other people have ever or will ever talk about my golf game.
