Re: Playing by yourself

I played with a 50+ year old friend who has not played competitve golf since high school. My golf game was decent and he all over the place.

And evertime he makes a bad shot he relished his glory days in high school. Mind you he was called "the Gorilla" back then for his massive 280+ yds drive with finisse short.

In a way I felt bad for his game. I was patient with him and some what a motivator. I encourage him when he falter on his game.

Towards the reamining holes his game started to improved a great deal and even par the last hole. His first par hole in a long while. I can see his excitement and accomplishment.

Any way I was a feeling good to see an ol' friend happy.

Going back on slow play. If I play with a friend who is very novice and I would tell him before we tee off on the first hole pick up the ball after 8 strokes so as not the slow other golfer playing behind us.

Avid Golfer.
