its over boys i wont talk about golf anymore i shot 90 im 11 strokes off the lead.it was a devestating blow to my ego.see you in september
Beantown,
Just a suggestion, but you should make sure that 88 and 90 get posted to your handicap. Also, you might consider turning ALL your scores in just in case you don't. Unless the course was drasticaly changed for the tournament or the wind was blowing 40 mph, it's hard for me to picture a 10 handicapper posting such large scores.

Skinar I think on a par 72 lay out we called that bogie golf. I was at one time an im not blowing my horn a 11 to 13. Many More 12's then 11's .I must say I had my 88 to 90 days. Just screw a couple of holes up real good. Bang! What would get me mad at myself I new better. After all the time to break 100, then 90 I mean years. Then start to shoot some nice 80/82 to 84. Sneek in a couple 79. That was my best ever. I admit a easy course. Then the back went. But that is another story.
i need a ruling.i was 39 going into the 9th hole serious question i need an answer.i hooked my tee shot around a corner the hole calls for a hook everybody in the group says that was close but we all know the hole and agrred it was safe so i didnt hit a provisional ball.we looked for the ball and couldnt find it so i went back to the tee and hit another.as i was coming around the corner joe says to me i found your ball,but you cant play it you have to play the provisional ball because you abanded my first ball.he said play both and we will get a ruling later.i birdied my first for a 42 on my second ball i made a six that score stood i shot 45 on the front and was cooked for the rest of the day.who knows the rule.
Well here is the ruling:
Once you start looking for a ball before playing a provisional, And then play a provisional, the provisional is in play no matter what. you have 5 minutes to search for the lost ball. Once you start searching for the ball the clock starts. after 5 minutes orignal ball is unplayable. Once you went back and teed it up that ball is in play. Had you played a provisional before searching and found the ball you could play the original without penalty. If within the 5 minute time frame. And these rules applied.
As for a provisional ball. Lets say you did not search for your ball. A provisonal ball is considered in play if you have defined the original ball to be lost or if you have played the provisonal ball past the nearest point to where the original ball was last beleieved to have lied, or the provisional is closer to the hole then the original. If original ball has went into a water hazard or o.b. then provisonal ball is in play.
Lets say it was laying in the rough and you thought it went o.b. and you played a provisonal before attempting to look for it,
then you found the original ball and the provisional had not went further or was not deemed closer to the hole then you could pick up your provisional ball and play original without penalty.
USGA RULE 27
1 STROKE PENALTY WAS THE CORRECT RULING
USGA RULE 15
ALSO BY PLAYING THE WRONG BALL BECAUSE YOU PLAYED 2 BALLS THEN A 2 STROKE PENALTY SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENFORCED ALSO. YOU CAN THANK YOUR PARTNER FOR THAT.
AND THEN FOR WRITING DOWN AN INCORRECT SCORE YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DISQUALIFIED FROM THE TOURNAMENT.
These are the rules. Next time carry a rule book and then you will know.

Neverteaseit, exactly the right call on the ruling. That's one reason you should ALWAYS hit a provisional if there is even a possibility that your first ball is out of play.
djv, yeah I call a 90 bogie golf also. At one time I was down to a 7 (about 10 years ago) and I am now a 15 (I qualify for the senior tour this fall
). I shot a FEW rounds in the high 80's when I was a 7, but not back-to-back in a club championship. I spent several years as a 10 handicap and I know how easy it is to have the wheels fall off, everything goes wrong, a couple of penalty strokes, and WHAM you've got yourself a nice little 93 or something like that.
HOWEVER, I know a hell of a lot of guys who claim a 10 handicap, that I would still play straight up right now (although I always make them give nme my strokes), simply because I know they don't turn in their bad scores. These guys are the opposite of sandbaggers. Is there a term for that - other than dumbass?

I'm playing golf tomorrow at Champion Lakes Golf Club. IMO, it's the most difficult public course within 100 miles of Pittsburgh, Pa.
Our foursome has named #4, "The hardest hole in golf" and #13, "The golf hole from Hell."
This course is so well-trapped, you can forget about it.
Wish me luck. The grass may never grow again.

Go get-em buddy wish I was with you. I still remember some those good days. Dig a little hole here and maybe one over there. My friends always told everyone I made many new friends on the course. They said I played more with other four-somes then my own. Fun it was. And I never new something call bingo bongo, (i think that's right)could get so tense. We had one guy we made him putt if he was 6 inchs from the hole. This guy could end up 3 feet away trying to make it. Poor fellow. Nice swing, rather long of the tee. Played irons like a pro. Could not putt for crap. He was about a 12/13 capper that should have been 6 or 7. As they say drive for show. Putt for doe.
Yes putt for$, butI will tell you hitting 3 off every other tee sure hurts any golfer.Shit I carry two 3 woods this year just to keep my tee ball in play as my track is real tight!!!!!!!!!What pain we suffer to play a game we LOVE...Spanky...
neverteaseit, if unsure of a rule, you can announce such and play two balls and get ruling after round but before you sign your card. in such a case, no penalty for playing wrong ball.
3-3. Doubt as to Procedure
a. Procedure
In stroke play, if a competitor is doubtful of his rights or the correct procedure during the play of a hole he may, without penalty, complete the hole with two balls.
After the doubtful situation has arisen and before taking further action, the competitor must announce to his marker or a fellow-competitor that he intends to play two balls and which ball he wishes to count if the Rules permit. If he fails to do so, the provisions of Rule 3-3b(ii) apply.
The competitor must report the facts of the situation to the Committee before returning his score card. If he fails to do so, he is disqualified.
b. Determination of Score for Hole
(i) If the ball that the competitor selected in advance to count has been played in accordance with the Rules, the score with that ball is the competitor?s score for the hole. Otherwise, the score with the other ball counts if the Rules allow the procedure adopted for that ball.
(ii) If the competitor fails to announce in advance his decision to complete the hole with two balls, or which ball he wishes to count, the score with the original ball counts, provided it has been played in accordance with the Rules. If the original ball is not one of the balls being played, the first ball put into play counts, provided it has been played in accordance with the Rules. Otherwise, the score with the other ball counts if the Rules allow the procedure adopted for that ball.
Note 1: If a competitor plays a second ball under Rule 3-3, the strokes made after this Rule has been invoked with the ball ruled not to count and penalty strokes incurred solely by playing that ball are disregarded.
Note 2: A second ball played under Rule 3-3 is not a provisional ball under Rule 27-2.
