God bless you guys who keep track of that stuff on golf trips. I know how annoying it must be. I can try to help, but I really need somebody with accounting skills to handle it. It’s a special set of skills I lack. It’s hereditary. If you ever played golf with my Dad and heard him ask status questions 10x per hole, you’d understand.
I keep score by feel - felt like a 79 today. I feel like I’m up 2 at the turn. So much easier.
Someone who knows how… make a gif out of him on that par-3 where he barely hit the playing surface, when he did his go-to ball-in-air club motion trying to direct it back to the right… that is the @djpie signature move.
Also a gif out of him walking after one of his fairway iron shots like a menace. Noticed that too.
I would be terrified of playing DJ at a 5 or whatever he is. Either he was editing the video ( ), or he made a lot of birdies, because it seemed like after each putt he rolled in @Soly was saying “nice bird, Deej”.
Adding an item to my list of the benefits of not gambling after this episode:
- Keep my money.
- Easier to stay happy during a bad round.
- Don’t need a Masters in Accounting to maintain a scorecard.
@djpie can we get a title card update on who has how much money at the beginning and/or end of each episode?
I am an accountant and the last thing I want to do on the course is my day job.
I’ll happily play a cash game on the course (for low stakes) but anything more complicated than a Nassau with one or two presses, I’m going to just play my game and at the end someone else can tell me what I owe/ am owed.
Awesome first episode. Loved the gambling aspect and can’t wait to see where it goes. My only request is that it’d be cool to see a quick “standings” update on everyone’s cash holdings after each episode. It’d be fun to see who the “big stacks” are and whether they start pushing the others around. Though I’m sure you’ve already edited most of the season so that may be unlikely.
Also, that link on the Original Penguin site is pure gold. The gear looks great, but I have so many questions about this particular pic:
- What exactly is happening here?
- Is this part of an Original Penguin photo shoot, or did this occur naturally?
- Are you posing with a wedge on what looks to be a putting green?
- Please tell me that @Soly actually hit a shot with everyone literally standing on top of him
- Is that @Tron with the mustache on the right? Or @MerchCzar? Where’s the other Schuster?
- Can we see a video re-enactment at some point? This has to be GIF-worthy.
- Is it darker than the camera makes it appear?
I’ll start up some gifs, got timestamps to save me some time?
We need to share this, maybe everywhere.
@Soly clearly dressed everyone this day. Wanted to cover the full blue spectrum.
It can keep you focused though during a total let down. Or I’ve learned to always play skins in local tournaments when possible because if you’re playing bad, one solid hole can make you a lot of money.
You don’t have to have 8 bets going. Playing Nassau is super easy
I can’t stop staring…you discover new things the more you look at it.
Should have them by the end of tonight!
- Did DJ and Schuster call each other before they left the house that morning?
- What logo is photoshopped off DJ’s hat? TBC perhaps?
Why is everyone wearing sketchers?
They must have seen that new ad.
And why do two guys have wedges and DJ has what looks like a hybrid for kids in his hands
This is some “Washington Crossing the Delaware” level of amazing.
