Questions:
1. Yes it was a scratch golf score
58 is par for the course, I scored 59
2. Sandbaggar? NO
3. I am not in Denver yet, going to be this weekend. Any suggestions on club selections?
4. Retired Navy YES I AM a retired Chief
This score of course totally PO'd the rest of the group because I took the pot.
I consistently win when I play with my sons. They are never happy about it either. Especially my 45 year old step son who is very competitive. ha

...retired GOD!

Don't all those people know that you don't screw around w/ a CHIEF?

I remember all the definitions of rank in the Army, starting out w/ 2/Lt's. The list ended up w/ Col's, who talk to God, followed by Sgt/Maj's who ARE God. I recall back in the days before color TV when I was a 2/Lt. I treated the 1st Sgt & our battalion Sgt/Maj w/ the greatest respect. In return, they called me "Sonny"! However, no one ever told me about Platoon Sgts - I can recall being counseled by mine on an occasion or two when I did something stupid.

Never played golf while in Colo Spngs, but do know that you want to hit a few balls to find out how far they go for a given club. As I recall from watching golfers that it was significantly farther. My golfing experience was in NM at White Sands Missile Range. You did not look for balls in the rough - rattlesnakes - & you never stuck your hand into a cup to take out the ball - tarantulas.

I was an advisor in Viet Nam & got in a couple rounds. You always carried an extra club - we called it the "Carbine" or a .45 pistol. Kinda tough swinging w/ that hunk of iron strapped to your waist. Hazards there were cobras, Kraits, stray water buffaloes & kids on motor bikes running wild.

Good luck in Denver.

Congratulations on winning...

...You must be a sandbagger!!

Is that a scratch score or a handicapped score?

I know some 80+ YO's here in Atlanta. They'd wipe out the younger set who played w/ them.

You are from San Diego - retired Navy, by any chance?

I think we are all too humble to dispense advice on club selection to anyone who can go round any golf course in 59 ! Use whatever club that appeals to you !

Congrats on your win !
