Hmmm July 19 2012 join date, when was Fulton banned? Is this you fulton? lol

Congrats on the 79! I can't believe there's a lot of future PGA Tour players here

Meh .. big deal ... I was able to break 79 consistently in my second year too.
However I decided to keep on going and play the last 3 holes each time since the Green Fees were already paid up for 18

Like I said when I played 2 years ago, I wasnt golfing seriously nor were they honest scores, my friends that are low cappers would give me a lot of mulligans, so wasnt honest

Congrats on a 79! thats awesome

Lol,

Great post!

I have a buddy that is in his 4th season and had not broken 80 until last weekend when he went nuts - 35 (-1) on the front and 38 on the back. Talk about breaking the 80 barrier in style. He shot 82 the next day and was grumpy. All I could do was laugh at him as his expectations have really changed.

It's funny how many golfers expect to shoot 79 on the button when they break 80

Proud of yourself?

Seriously, what is the fascination here with sh1tt1ing on peoples accomplishments?!

Haha, come on. I love hearing about people making new PB's but this guy's story smells worse than playing behind a group of TGNr's the day after a chili cookoff.

JamesCL · Jul 19, 2012, 02:43 PM

hah, actually taking the time to go through old posts of mine, incredible.

Anyways the last time I'll say it, this is my "first" year of actually taking the game seriously, I hacked the ball around with friends here and there for a bit, but I didn't actually start scoring properly until this year.

But good catch, and I must admit I'm embarrassed for actually not counting strokes, and not keeping an honest score. Ah well, thing of the past, as I'm now an honest golfer and really want to improve my game by being honest and seeing what I can "really" shoot.

Actually, what smells worse than that is the fact some feel the need come on here and belittle somebody else, for what? To make themself feel good? To prove some sort of point? The only thing they are proving is how petty and small they are, in my opinion.

What smells even worse is the fact that some come on here after getting banned and pretend to be someone else, but failed to 'pretend' to change their attitude/character

I never belittled anyone. I regularly congratulate people on good birdies, eagles, HIO's etc. I just think it's funny that some would come on here and artficially inflate their accomplishments to gain the approval of an online forum of people they've never met. Whatever floats your boat though.

Pubknight · Jul 19, 2012, 03:46 PM

This thread confuses me.
There seems to be much rage on the board of late.
I'm going to blame the heat.

mpare · Jul 19, 2012, 03:52 PM

Bad play will do that as well.

Sorry, that comment wasnt directly at you (just talking WITH you), but at the others who feel that this actually effects them somehow and has to jump on the guy.

I believe the related part of both our posts, was, something smells awful!! Its probably my game!

I'm not sure what's worse....coming back on after being banned because you obviously have no life/friends, or using the name "flux pavilion".

I mean come on buddy, at least give yourself a month or so before acting like your true self.

It's easy to change your username. It's harder to change your true colours

Ever seen a 'newbie' with 1 year playing experience doing transactions with high end shafts on Golf WRX?

SwingingSticks · Jul 19, 2012, 05:15 PM

Wow, Mule was QUICK to lay the law down on Fulton!

That sure didn't take long

golower · Jul 19, 2012, 06:42 PM

I broke 80 at 12 years old and had been playing for 3 years. Maybe I can hijack this thread

This thread is pure gold

Fool's gold for one, though.
