    After 386 ranked rounds, an embarrassing number of gambits to finance my new clubs and balls, several thousand variations of the same four cuss words, countless moments where I berated my computer screen with my middle finger, endless e-mails to my buddy sleezyd about the brutal missed birdies on Bethpage's Front 9, dozens of restarts because of screwed up wind and distance calibrations on BP #1, and nearly an entire year of climbing this frustrating and incorrigable (but absolutely tantalizing) mountain of a game, I've reached my Bah Mitzvah/Circumcision/Fraternity Intiation/Every-Other-Rite-of-Passage-Including-Those-Weird-Things-They-Do-In-Brazilian-Jungles--To-Welcome-Boys-Into-Manhood moment. 

    That's right boys.  I'm in the 50s.  (Ain't no shame in a 59.97).

    Congratulations!  Happy Birthday!   And the word "circumcision" used in the same paragraph as "Bethpage Black front 9" is dead on.

    Way to go! Good luck keeping it up there!

    I had it for a while but then it went back up again. :( Love that video you posted!

    Congrats HoleitSucker....now it's time to start winning some tourneys.  That's a pretty ugly trophy case you have for a sub 60s shooter.

    You know you've moved up a notch when the legends are running smack on your weak trophy case.  I've got some crystal in there....old crystal, but crystal. Thanks for the kick in the ***!

    No worries js.  I appreciate it.  I'm so concerned with protecting my sparkling "59" that I'm horrified at the thought of finishing a 9-hole tourney at -4 and watching my averge tip 60 again.  It's like I bought a Bentley and now I'm too afraid to take it out on the road because I don't want to nick it.

     

    The struggles one faces these days in WGT....how will I manage?!

    ....and it's funny that you mention cheating.  When i was schlepping -2s on BP's front 9, I'd look at the greats and think, "How the heck are they doing it?"  Now that my score is lower than it's ever been, I know that cheating is the last thing that makes a good score on here.  It's spending hours on this flippin' game remembering breaks, distances, wind, greens, rough, and all the other God-awful course gremlins that are patiently waiting to ruin a sparkling round. 

     

    Just like anything else, a low score is the product of hours of hard work, a little bit of luck, and a lot of people's jealousy.

    LOL-New crisis, Hole-think this way for a while, though. If your average is the last 14 rounds you might see it go lower as the oldest rounds drop out. 

    I find this most impressive because it didn't happen by pounding away at SA. Consistent rounds of 30 at BPB is something to talk about. Very nice accomplishment, Hole.
