    16, but not sure why you punished me for hitting someone (accident)....

    Play 36holes a day on two courses regularly, 10 times + year


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,491 ✭✭✭✭Mushy


    9, a sane person in this asylum.

    Would have been higher but -1 for breaking a club. Face/head of driver literally burst on impact, definitely not on purpose

    Any quiz where you add and subtract points for answers is not going to give a clear result.

    I scored 10.

    Who came up with this daft quiz

    Scored 20 - but lost 2 points for playing drunk and aiming at range cart (sorry) - you get bored on 2nd bucket.

    By the way , if you come up with questions , you are going to score high , as it is your own head you are answering question in.

    18.

    Seve OB leading. But not sure he counted right , hard with daft negatives :P

    Lol

    Impressive.

    I suppose I wasn't far off that - losing points for playing drunk and hitting at golf cart is harsh.

    Playing drunk in Portugal seems part of the rules.

    I won when drunk.


  • Registered Users Posts: 98 ✭✭threescompany


    15 here.... happy enough!

    You do get an extra point for that.

    Unless you hit the other 1/2 with a golf ball or club.

    reminds me of that old golf joke:

    Two guys are playing golf behind two really slow women. Finally, one guy offers to speed things up and walks down the fairway to tell the women to get a move on. But halfway to the women, he turns around and comes back to his buddy.

    "I couldn't say anything," he explains. "One was my wife and the other was my mistress."

    "No problem, I'll handle it," his pal says. But after going halfway down the fairway toward the women, he, too, stops. He comes back and says to his buddy: "Small world, isn't it?"

    question 22
    on my stag, a week in Vilamoura, 5 games of golf.
    The last night was an all night bender and last game was early 8am or so, as we were flying home later that day. My recollection is that after whatever pubs and clubs we were in, some of the lads were in a Villa and we went back there. I think I may have slept on the couch for about half hour tops, but I if I am really honest about it, I don't think I slept at all. The apartment I was staying in was next door to the Old Course. Got home in time to shower and get my golf gear sorted and walk up to the course. It was a hill. I struggled. I don't think I drove the buggy that day :D

    14 for me. I did once fall head first into the lake on the 13th in Mount Juliet chasing a mate's golf ball.

    Surely I get extra points for that.
