MD Peeps....where you at?

[StarGazer58]

Got some yardwork and 9 holes in on Sat. Rainshower this afternoon interrupted fixing the corner fence post that I was working on outside. Watching the PGA on TV but actually waiting for the LPGA to start. Perfer watching the ladies.

I got a whole lot of nothing done today. Then at the store it rained so hard you could hear it inside. Got really wet really fast.

 

[StarGazer58]

yeah, it was a sucky afternoon. Not the way I wanted to end the weekend so now I got to start working for the weekend all over again. Is it Friday yet?

 

[StarGazer58]

Wow, a whole week and nobody had anything to say. Are we really living that boring of lives in Maryland? At least we made it to the weekend.

 

[dadbod4u]

I was up to my eyeballs in a project all week. Just finished. Happy weekend!

 

[StarGazer58]

It was a busy week work wise for me too. We could all be singing... Working for the weekend

Well, I've got some news: for the first time in weeks, your boy here got himself laid this morning. Rainy Saturday morning, my golf course closed because of flooding . . . . . all turned into some play time on a shorter course with fewer holes. But the round was most enjoyable!

 

[dadbod4u]

I'm a completely different kind of wet. Forgot rain doesn't cancel turf games.

Very nice!
Our kids went out Friday night, so I gave the wife a massage and then we had sex on the massage table. Always love that!

You do know the rules for indoor golf. I have posted them here a few times.

Star -- I seem to remember something about indoor golf from you. But please post them again here -- so that others may benefit, and to make sure I don't inadvertently cheat next time I play a round . . . .

Bedroom Golf Rules

1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment. Normally one club and two balls.

2. Play on a course must be approved by the owner of the hole.

3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the CLUB in the hole and keep the balls out.

4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners are permitted to check shaft stiffness before play begins.

5. Course owners reserve the right to restrict shaft length so not to damage the hole(s).

6. The object of the game is to take as many strokes as necessary until the course owner is satisfied that the play is complete. Failure to do so may result in being denied permission to play the course again.

7. It is considered bad form to begin playing the hole immediately upon arrival at the course. The experienced player will take time to admire the entire course with special attention to the well-formed bunkers.

8. Players are cautioned not to mention other courses they have played or are currently playing to the owner of the course being played. Upset course owners have been known to damage a players equipment for this reason.

9. Players are encouraged to bring proper rain gear for their own protection.

10. Players should assure themselves that their match has been properly scheduled, particularly when a new course is being played. Previous players have been known to become irate if they discover someone else playing on what they consider to be their private course.

11. Players should not assume a course is in shape for play at all times.

12. Players are advised to be extremely tactful in this situation. More advanced players will find an alternate means of play when this occurs.

13. Players are strongly encouraged to obtain permission before playing the Back Nine.

14. Slow play is encouraged. However, players should be prepared to proceed at a faster pace, at least temporarily, at the owners request.

15. It is considered outstanding performance; time permitting, to play the same hole several times in one match.

Mr. Commissioner -- Thank you for the refresher on Bedroom Golf Rules! I'll print out and post these on the headboard of my marital bed, so we're all square on the rules.

One item not covered which I find a bit odd: in regular golf, a course is closed if it's too wet. But I find that in Bedroom Golf, the course is closed if it's too dry!

Always carry a can of artificial wetness in your bag.

 

[StarGazer58]

As dadbod said, might need to add a lubricant to the list of acceptable equipment to carry in your bag. Not sure if an extended review of the course before the round starts would help. Adding a new partner into the group might also be helpful.

Don't most courses prefer a 4-some?!?

That is true but that could be a bit crowded for indoor golf. I guess the only way to know is to give it a try. Maybe play a round of Wolf where Player A has the option to go solo against the group, or, after watching each subsequent player, select a partner.

I will ask my wife, but I am fairly certain I already know her answer.
Perhaps an "alternating stroke" format would work best.

 

[StarGazer58]

You could have player A and Player B play their own home courses in the morning and then the players switch course owners in the afternoon for an alternate format. Then over beers both players could compare notes on course layout and the course owners could compare notes on how well the players handle their play around the entire course and did their clubs hold out for the entire round.

As I believe most of us are playing on the senior tour, StarGazer makes a good point. Playing different courses on successive days (or perhaps with a day of recovery and rest in between rounds!) would give players and course owners a bit of variety. It would also lead to slower play and later round completion times during the second round -- which would probably draw appreciation from course owners, at least.

 

[StarGazer58]

I forgot about the Senior tour. Some of the younger players with younger course owners might need some instruction to bring their play up to par so I am sure Senior players will be more than happy to lend assistance.

 

[StarGazer58]

Another weekend is almost gone. Why do the weekends go so fast but the week drags? That is the existential question of the week.

 

[dadbod4u]

I was not in the state for most of the weekend. Now relaxing at home before the week starts anew.

 

[StarGazer58]

Another Monday is here. Long live Fridays.

 

[StarGazer58]

I wonder if CreamCupcake likes to play golf? I could be a senior instructor.
