As long as you are seeing progress then it's all good. And there will always be those inconsistencies... but the great shots you start hitting
will make it well worth it. In my 83, I had 2 birdies in a round for the first time ever, and it's a boner-inducing feeling. Sadly I
haven't been out since, so I know the next time I'm probably going to shoot 95-100. But keep on keeping track of your scores, and when
you hit milestones (breaking 50 on 9, breaking 100 or 110 for a round, 5 pars in a round, etc.) you'll be feeling like you're making
progress. And for God's sake, just have fun with it. It took me a long time to accept that I'm not good enough to break 80 and never
will be, so if I hit a terrible shot, instead of throwing a club I can finally laugh about it. Remember that even if you stink up one hole, next hole
is a par just waiting to happen.
I totally can't play in the heat either. I'm a chubby ginger, so the sun isn't good for me. Fuck mid-day golf, even in Canada.
Also, I forgot to mention previously that I hit an old lady in the neck a few weeks ago. 220 yards uphill, didn't see any carts or people
(couldn't see the green from where I was) but thought I'd be safe with a 6 iron lay-up... I grooved it and hit her about 30 yards in front
and right of the green. Scary shit. She was ok though. I now have the nickname "Lady Killer" at work.
That's racism man! I love to racism bro!

One of the better moments in my life occurred when I managed to birdie three consecutive holes on a front-9 once. I still turned it into a total
whack-fuck after that and barely managed to keep it below 100, but those three birds in a row sure were special.

Since we're sharing cool moments, my coolest was at Lisbon CC years and years ago (it no longer exists) - 3rd hole, par 4. It was something
like 280-290 yards, I don't quite remember. Got to the tee, hit the snot out of it. If you've ever seen me play, you won't believe
this - but it actually went straight. About 4 feet from the hole - sunk the putt for eagle. I actually eagled on that hole twice. Haven't
sniffed eagle since. Damn, I wish that course was still open...

Eagle's are sick, man. I've come close a couple of times that I can remember. It's the only time that it's disappointing to
make "just" a birdie.

If you don't like playing in the heat, you wouldn't be playing around here right now, period. The one plus side is if you tee off around
11:00 or later, you pretty much have the course to yourself because most people aren't insane and try to tee off in the 6:00 - 8:00 timeframe
when it's ONLY about 80-degrees out.

Awesome. Fortunately I don't have a "hit someone with a shot" story yet. Hopefully I can keep that streak going!

How about hitting him in his balls, with your club?

Did I miss out on the sharing cool moments? I was playing in Colorado in the mountains and there was a 320 yard dogleg left. At the time I had a
beautiful right to left fade (which for some reason I've never understood makes the ball roll farther than a left to right or even dead straight
shot). Couldn't see the green but we could see right up to it and it was clear. I hit a guy who was putting and I think he had just come out of
the gold mine. Tall boots, leather chaps, beard down to his gut. And cursing a streak that made my driver curl up in fear. "If you're gonna
fucking tiger woods it at least wait until I'm off the green!" I explained to him that I was sorry, couldn't see the green, thought they
were more than a full hole ahead of us, and besides, I'm used to playing at 600 feet, not 6000. The guys he was with all told me it was a great
shot and I should place it about 8 feet from the cup because he kicked it after it hit him.
If I had made the putt I'm not sure how I would have felt about an eagle after placing my ball on the green so close, but I missed the putt.
Never had an eagle. Paddle's right that those near misses really suck even though it's a birdie. I was on a 440 yard par 4, great drive
and a 4 iron from the middle of the fairway. I totally flubbed it, the divot went further than the ball. After swearing I kept the 4 iron in my hand
and hit in right in the cup. Should be a good feeling, right?

4 iron = owns. I love using that club.
I shot one off the tee once that sort of semi-topped the ball. It went straight but was a low screamer that was only about seven feet off the ground
tops. It was on a dogleg and it slammed like an anti-tank rocket right into the side of one of the greenskeepers carts just as the guy was rounding
the corner of the dogleg. The ball left a massive dent in the cart like a fastball had hit it. I told the guy I was sorry, even though I had no idea
at all that he was there. He was a young guy with the Orton full-sleeve tattoos going on and just sort of glared at me. Weirdest thing was that thanks
to the cart bringing the ball to a sudden stop it put me in a great position to aim at the green and I ended up getting a par. Kind of bloody
hilarious in hindsight.
