    Played "Sliver Rock" this weekend --- tough course. Not a great day for my golf ball inventory.

    They paired us with two other guys... interesting dudes.... they argued with eachother the whole time. That's what happens when you're playing $$/hole match-play. Took us 5 1/2 hours because we had to wait while these guys climbed mountains and crawled through bushes to find every ball they miss-hit. I was half expecting them to bust out the scuba gear for the splashers.... but they drew the line. Thank goodness.

    Great course... great weather... gotta love those 3-day weekends!
    Staring contest. You. Me. Now.......

    I have played Silver Rock a couple times. I like it. You should have played ahead. I hate playing slow.

    Couldn't ... we had a foursome in front, and a foursome behind. The last few holes we kinda played in front a tad, just because we got tired of the arguing. But we had to stick around for the 18th green handshake...

    I started back playing golf after 12 years away from the game. I played briefly in high school and now it feels really great to get out and hit a few golf shots during a round.

    Funny thing is I just saw Sterling caddying for A.K. on Golf Channel.
    Nice call on the 9iron, BP!
    Cool.

    Yeah Stiff,

    I believe what happened was I purchased my first stingray in 1997 and it instantly attracted me a rather hot girlfriend, so there went my golf game. This summer I got the bug after watching some PGA on tv, so I picked up some taylormade's and hit the range hard.

    I don't know if this has been covered anywhere else on the forum, but I'd be interested to know how BP met AK (possibly at a pro-am?), and established a working relationship with him.

    It really was a pleasant surprise to see him on AK's bag during an episode of Playing Lessons with the Pros!
