As fast as required. Empty course that I know well and I can get
around quick. Otherwise I keep up to the group in front and try to
match my pace to it. No point in trying to go fast than is possible.

>2. I play by the rules and post all my scores.

Mostly. I don't post scores and most of my games are with/against guys
I know. We do use a mercy rule (Pump two out of bound and you get to
drop where the second went out. Used very rarely.) and the OB lost
ball. If you find that your ball is ob or lost instead of walking back
to the tee drop where it went out or where ball should be and add 2
strokes)

>3. I carry 280 yds (or some insane number) with my driver.

Nope. I can tag the ball well and pump out the a few 300 yarders in
the summer but I would guess most of my "good drives" are in the 250
to 260 range. The bad ones well...

>4. I'm in favor of the roll back of technology to bring back classic

Nope. But they should cap it now before the 8,000 yard course is
required for "Championship Golf". The classic courses are well in my
range yardage wise.

>5. I'm not sucking up to you hoping you'll invite me to your club.

Never...
what club did you say you belonged to?.... Really!... well buddy ol'
pal...

Hasn't bothered me yet.

>7. The USGA got it right this time.

USGA, RCGA, R&A can all kiss my ass.

>8. I pay no attention to course ratings/rankings.

Sometimes I peek.
When I book the Blur Tour, our annual trip to the Okanagan, I'll peek
at some sites with reviews. Don't want to pick a total stinker of a
place... well at least for the courses. One year the motel left a lot
to be desired but oh well.

>9. I walk every single round I play.

Most. Last year I played between 60 and 70 rounds and I rode for 6 of
them. All were on the previously mentioned trip and that is only
because we play 36 a day. There are a couple of courses I have walked
that if I was to play again I would ride.

1. I play fast.

Unless the beer drinking .05 nassau foursome in front of me will not wave me
through.

2. I play by the rules and post all my scores.

Being an dumb southerner, the rules are not in picture form.

3. I carry 280 yds (or some insane number) with my driver.

I pass 280 even 300 with my driver on all holes except the par 3s.

4. I'm in favor of the roll back of technology to bring back classic
golf courses.

Heck no. If I had to go back to my Wilson wood driver and fairway woods, I
would give up golf. And the executive set of irons.

5. I'm not sucking up to you hoping you'll invite me to your club.

No comment since our clubs are more deer hunting than golf.

6. I don't mind playing with women one bit.

I love playing with women.

7. The USGA got it right this time.

Doesn't the USGA have the same level of intelligence as a certain President
and Kerry.

8. I pay no attention to course ratings/rankings.

9. I walk every single round I play.

I do walk every round at home and away unless I am playing with Annika1980
who could not walk a 100 yards.

Yep. Usually under 2 1/2 hours walking unless I have to wait for the cart
riders.

I try to unless doing so will hold up play. All is a tough standard.

Nope. I need windage and elevation help for those carries.

I play "throwback day" occsionally. Old bag, old clubs, old balls, and

I only walk about 99% of them. I'm cheap, I need the exercise badly, and I
think I play better when I walk.

A testament to his ability to troll this group. Pretty amazing.

BTW....I agree/abide by all your creeds except #3. That's wishful
thinking on my part.

Playing golf is wishful thinking....haven't touched a club since Oct.
But my mind has been on this baby.....

Or is it that people will bring up his name even when he isn't
mentioned? I'd say those people are the most gullible trollees.

I can get well over 250 with my driver (at the range); but God is the only
one that knows where it's gonna go. I therefore don't even use my driver
yet. And scores - I think that mulligans are A-OK!!! :-)
