Message: [QUOTE="Spaceman213J, post: 4028220, member: 6477"] I haven't played for over a year. I've been trying to strengthen a shoulder after a second dislocation. I used to work at a golf course in VA, and did take advantage of my free rounds before then. Before the injury I was shooting in the mid 80's. It's a shame because a new manager drove the course into the ground and out of business, but that's another story. My personality made me play just straight up, following the rules straight up. Only course repair or weather that caused standing water would ever make me entertain the idea of taking a drop... etc.. I just competed with myself to try to see if I could improve. But over the years I've played all sorts of personalities. I usually only played for money with my brother and/or his friends. My brother would talk about how much better he was, but he played with his own rules. One time my dad and I were on the putting green waiting for my brother to arrive. My dad said, "On what hole do you think your brother will ask for a mulligan on?". I said, "Number 8", and my dad replied, "I think 13." Sure enough, on 13 my brother hit what we call a 'blinker' hook because the ball looks like to goes 60 yards and turns directly left or so it seems. He turns and says how many mulligans do we get. My dad and I just started cracking up. [/QUOTE]
