Ok all i was just added to my company end of the year tournament. I already know i dont have a chance to win because our company gives out a handicap based upon 2 events and thgis will be my first but my fellow employess needed a 4th to fill the roster so they asked me. My score doesn't effect theres in anyway so i am ok to just go out and have a good time. It is a shotgun style tourney so i am excited about that. I think i am most excited about cometition again, i miss any type of competition so this is great for me. My wife will also be out of town that whole weekend so i am gonna golf every day!!!

The only thing i am not excited about is the course, it is a links style course and i have never played that before so any advice is greatly appreciated..........

If it is a true links style curse and the greens are fast, with tight lies inside of 50 yds. Learn the bump and run shot with a 7 or 8 iron, instead of trying to chip with a PW/SW or LW.

Neat! Report back on the tourney, those are always interesting. The last one I attended, I witnessed quite a lot of interesting behavior:

* My director kicking balls from behind grass clumps, for better lies
* People moving the "long drive" stick, then writing their name on it
* My boss asked a waitress to "get on the table and dance for us"
* and various other shenanigans - what a crew!

Sam,
You obviously work in the oil patch, just like me.

ok good advice otherwise i am gonna be rolling right off of the greens everytime.........

ok bump and run shots, ok time to go practice them!!!

thanks guys and i will let you know how it goes!

Keep us posted, especially if you catch the boss improving his lie.

Jay. By any chance you playing at Wyncote? It's a great course, but very very challenging. If you happen to be playing there, I have one bit of advice: WATCH OUT FOR THE FESCUE!!!

Yeah those link style "curses" scare me every time! Curses? Bump and Run? Sounds like an old Abbott and Costello movie!

no it is called Royal Oaks, just sounds hard!
