I just got a brand new set of tight lies so I'd totally be down for this. I'm not very good either but I have a great time anyways.
Thats the exact set i just got ;) nice!!

haah sweet, yea I've only even unwrapped the sand wedge and pitching wedge. I just played the birdie course at eagle lake the other day. Maybe I'll swing out this sunday and play somewhere. Anybody down?

Then what's the point? I don't reset the rack every time I don't get a strike in bowling and average 190+. :)
I agree fully. I don't ever take mulligans, and I count every ball drop as a stroke. But I often find that someone that I was golfing with who wasn't having a very good day, ends up with a better "score" on their card then I do. Nothing better then lieing to yourself!!

I love playing and probably average around a 100. I play fair ball though, maybe one mulligan per game and a foot kick or two, that's it.

^That's the way to play. I do whatever makes it most fun, while not cheating the day away. I hate being over competitive, but at the same time I like keeping an accurate score.
I am usually in the 90-100 area. I just got a new driver this winter, so I want to try it out! We have a great course up in Ham Lake (Hidden Haven), but that is pretty far north. Where is everyone else at?
You guys with the tight lies, I have their main competition, I got the Wilson Deep Red set last year. We'll have to switch up a few clubs and see which we like better!

Allan, Swanny and I have played a few times over the past couple weeks. We follow the rules with drops, puts and all, just limit the strokes per hole to 9 so we can keep a move on if things go awry for any of us.

Lol, I could care less if you shoot in the 70s, 80s, 90s, or 100s as long as you go out there and have a good time. I mean I don't shoot in the 80s everytime I play, and when I do its usually the high 80s.
I just like to go drink a few beers and not take it too seriously, after all I just play for fun.
I don't take mulligans, not even if I top it on the first hole. I count every stroke even if I miss a two foot putt. I mean if you cheat your score how are you going to ever see improvement?
