Fifteen rounds of golf in 8 days is an accomplishment by itself. To score in the 70's in half of my rounds, including the 73 yesterday, makes me feel really good about my game right now.Captain Emushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637935356749550841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538633919939854689.post-24778537521055714972007-09-21T15:32:00.000-06:002007-09-21T15:32:00.000-06:00Those 3 rounds include 2 at your home course and o...Those 3 rounds include 2 at your home course and one at your other home course "sleepy ridge." I didn't even count the moses lake open, which I would have won. And as for your 9 "opens," we all know how you like to inflate the truth. I will give you a couple victories. I am just saying you need to raise your game becuase the most current one, not from years ago but recently, is not good enough. You might consider taking some time off to rethink your swing.<BR/><BR/>I can give you great deal on lessons. I will give you 50% off.

The course itself plays defense, but in any event defense isn't a requirement for something to be a sport. Tennis and other racquet sports have no defense - just a guy on the other side of the net coming at you with his own offense. And swimming, track and field, marathoning, and other individual sports lack defense but are unequivocally sports. <BR/><BR/>When golf sinks its addictive teeth into you and never lets go, you will understand the appeal. I hereby offer to treat you to a special round of golf, with my own narration as we play, the next time you return from your sojourns in the far east.<BR/><BR/>Kyle:<BR/><BR/>First of all, rounds played in a scramble format do not count in our head to head totals. <BR/><BR/>Second, I have won 9 Orem Opens and you have not won any. I'm no math major, but I think that gives me the slight edge. I am preparing night and day for the Mazatlan Open, my friend. It will not be pretty if your name is Miller. (Except for Sam Miller. She is pretty always, even if Kyle is losing in golf).Captain Emushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15637935356749550841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538633919939854689.post-70875959451156069602007-09-20T20:43:00.000-06:002007-09-20T20:43:00.000-06:00i dont leave posts but I just need to remind you I...i dont leave posts but I just need to remind you I have beat you the last 3 rounds we have played. i think you need to raise your standards as to what "good golf" is. <BR/>get ready for the mazatlan open.Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04455169857896798979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3538633919939854689.post-47004287978885663872007-09-20T04:46:00.000-06:002007-09-20T04:46:00.000-06:00I hate golf because:1.

It isn't a sport (sports require defense. yeah, that's right, i don't think track is a sport either. any arbitrary action, such as hat-punching, can be a sport if we allow games like golf to be sports. by we i mean me.)<BR/><BR/>2. Golf is only fun when you play seldom enough to not care about the result, in which case you are relaxed, and you play better than expectations. But when you get it into your head that you should be playing better, the fun is over. And you start getting it into your head exactly when you play at a frequency that will actually help you improve. Therefore, golf is only fun if it isn't really your bag. What a terrible pastime.<BR/><BR/>3. Golf costs a lot of money.<BR/><BR/>4. Golf culture is indeed genteel, in a superficial, smarmy, "we are just as ghetto as you but we won't admit it" way.<BR/><BR/>All that said, I have man-loved Captain Emus from first sight in spite of his love for golf, and that shows just what a guy he is.Derekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129985973010636034noreply@blogger.com
