Chef Jim Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 This is funny as *****. We just moved to Palm Springs a couple of months ago. We live on a golf course. As I was reading this a golf ball just made a splash down in our pool. Was that you or was it the wife? 😂 On 2/27/2022 at 6:58 PM, Draconator said: Golfing with the love of my life has made the game so much more better! My tithe of golf balls to the course Gods not-with-standing. The balls we’ve inherited from our yard over the 2.5 years we’ve owned the place. 1 Quote

We had a moment... The blue tee?? All I know is that most every tee shot lands in front of our house. It's entertaining but slices (or hooks?) end up on our yard. For the most part people are good shots but we get a few a week in our yard. 1 Quote

Kind of surprised you went that route actually, you know what free living is all about. Quote

Kind of surprised you went that route actually, you know what free living is all about. I advised @Chef Jim not to live directly on the golf course, but……you know. 🤷♂️ I lived on the 10th green of the Harbor Town course in Hilton Head right out of college. The green was in the backyard behind a string of four townhouses. I was leaving for work early one morning and went out to my car in open parking in front of the units. I come around to the drivers side to open my door and am shocked to see a guy on his knees trying to reach under my car with a club to retrieve his ball. It’s hard to describe how far away from the green that was. If I hit a ball THAT BADLY I just keep moving. I’m not sure if I’ve EVER hit a ball that bad, and like most of the population, I pretty much SUCK. I’m not good, but I’m not slow either. Last balls I bought was an 80-pack of used balls on line. I don’t get too attached to any one ball. BTW - My personal best is hitting not 1, not 2, but 3 (THREE!) different houses on the same shot. It was a rare hook (I’m like most people, more of a slicer) and hit the roof of a patio home, the roof of the NEXT patio home, and the side of the third home. Impressive, I know! I’ve lived on three different courses. Do so at your own peril. . Edited March 5, 2022 by Augie 1 1 Quote

We then took occupancy and built a pool to ready it as an Airbnb. One week we were visiting while they were putting in the pool. It was a gunite shell. I looked out to see a guy standing in my unfinished pool to retrieve his ball. Needless to say he was a bit shocked and embarrassed to learn the home was occupied. Dumbass! Out of my pool! And I thanked you all for your advice and I am sooo glad I didn’t take it. Since we moved in after Christmas I have fallen in love with the place. Well not really working anymore helps with the love affair. 😎 Quote
Draconator Posted March 7, 2022 Author Posted March 7, 2022 My gift from buying golf clubs and hitting golf balls, right hip bursitis. So I join my wife in PT. We we do things, we ALWAYS do them together! Well, maybe not go to the bathroom together... Quote

She did well for a rookie! That's awesome. I uncovered my old clubs in the garage recently. The woods are wood. 1 Quote
