Congratulations anyway. We're proud of you for just getting into the Tournament. You finished. I can't imagine three days without your putter working normal. Great job.

Oh, by the way, when we play next spring, you ride with Innercityteacher. :)

Georgia PGA / Final Results

Congrats to 'our guys' -- Jeff Hull and Ted Fort -- for their participation in this great Sectional championship. Jeff finished at -4 and T-3. Ted finished at +24 and T-80.

Thanks to Ted for giving us insights into the tournament and its conditionms.

Jeff, how did it look from your end?

:salut:

That's it, D! Me and my Titanium hip are going to open up a can of "whoop ass" on

Loser of the most holes in this grudge match cannot post for that number of days up to seven, and the winner gets unlimited emoticons with which to torment the loser for one week! Match play, 2 rounds, no strokes, from the tips of whichever course is around (if we take a lesson do we play for free at Lynn's course?).

I'm sending Lynn a PM right now to ask if he'll be around for a couple of lessons and to see if I can get my GSEM. I'm starting a new savings fund: "Daryl's Stone Marker Noting the Scores of His Losses to InnerCityTeacher, April 2011."

Hopefully, Jerry and Kevin, not to mention OB and others will be on hand when you finally capitulate.

I have respect for you Daryl, as an intelligent, sophisticated golfer, and as a very good and funny writer, but it's time you face the Primeval forces that shaped the cosmos (nastier than your daily use of Metamucil and prunes). Contact your priest, rabbi, minister or channel Saddam H. Ask them to describe what life will be like after your defeat. Ask them to use optimistic, positive terms, since I will be kind even while shattering your golfing swagger! &D:

It's on! "Feelin' froggy? Jump up!" &B:

Not if I graded the test.

Cuscowilla, from the Tips? I'll give you 12 strokes. You won't beat me if you had a GSED and ten lessons from Yoda. Maybe if Mother Teresa was on your bag............ Not.

C. Receive a free 2011 Bassmaster fishing boat, and you never get to play golf again.

I think the answer is obvious...

I choose B!

Seriously (which is difficult for me), Jeff played extremely well. Way to go Jeff! I thought the greens were impossible. I don't have anything in the bag for slow bermuda. I’d have to take a putting lesson from Jeff to keep from shooting 1000.

How anyone was able to putt those greens I haven't a clue. I borrowed a putter from Jeff for the next two rounds, and I was still terrible. I couldn't stand over a three footer and think that I could hit the hole. My 1 degree Bettinardi with grooves on the face made my ball look like a bowling ball rolling through hot tar. I lost interest quickly, having my putting handcuffed.

Last year, on the same course, I had 24 putts and shot 70. I have no idea how many feet faster they were rolling last year. When we returned later in the year to finish the rained-out tournament, I putted just as poorly on the over-seed. This year, I shoot 80, hitting 12 greens and playing with the same ball the entire time, with 37 putts. I have no idea how many decades ago I had 37 putts. Having 24 putts again would only be a 67. I'm still in shock.

I will definately agree with Ted about the condition of the greens, they were very tough to putt. I hit 50/54 greens and made 8 birdies and 4 bogeys. 3 of my bogeys were 3 putts that I actually hit very good putts on. The other bogey I lipped out the par save.

I still had a chance on the final day but once again could not get anything to fall. I missed a 3 foot birdie putt on #16 and a 5 foot birdie putt on #18. Both putts were actually straight by the earth but the grain took them 6" off line. I actually thought I made them both but I got "grained".

Given the opportunity I will take the Bass Boat and hang up the sticks!

I have learned a lot from watching Jeff swing the club. The videos with Lynn are top notch. Not a surprise to see him play so well. Congrats, keep it up.

Someone got lucky because his home course probably has slow sticky greens. Who knows.

Great playing - You were out there competing! You don't know how lucky you are.:salut:

Ted and Jeff are inspirations to me and I have several of their videos!

Really, nice job guys. I appreciate your teaching and efforts. I'm sorry for threatening Daryl in this thread with a golf-beating.

I felt like you guys would understand a person being inspired to take on a golfing challenge, even a small challenge like Daryl. I did send Yoda a PM asking for lesson times during my Spring Break. I'm not sure how these things work but maybe I'll see you both there.

I have to go now and channel soon to be Saint Mother Theresa and get her on my bag all of April, 2011. :)

Did you here Daryl's giving me 12 strokes a round? :laughing9

Peace and Congratulations, again.

Patrick

I have had many, many hours of lessons reading Yoda's posts.

Listen Daryl, you don't realize how good this TGM stuff is, because you are a great golfer. I was really, really awful and I can do things I never felt possible. You will have to drive out TGM, from my cold, dead brain using a nuclear explosion!

To quote "The Death of Arthur," "I will prove it upon your person, with great joy!"

When it's over, you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you and everyone else on this site have contributed 'light that reveals', a form of golfing excellence. I enjoy your posts so much that I intend to show you the insight I gathered in person, in competition!

When one of my students learns something and surpasses me with their understanding of it, I feel encouraged! :) April will be a good month for all of us!

Patrick
