I used to play Westfields in Clifton after work on Wednesdays years ago,
KfgsHokie • 05/12/23 02:31 PM ET
Played 18 at Reston National last Saturday and it took just over 5 hours...
LRC-Hokie01 • 05/12/23 02:21 PM ET
Is why I quit golf 12 years ago..5 hour rounds**
capitals1 • 05/13/23 12:06 AM ET
I’d quit golf if it took 5 hours a round.
GreenvilleVT • 05/12/23 04:00 PM ET
Played in a state.....
2hhoop3 • 05/12/23 02:48 PM ET
reston national has always been a 5-6 hour round for as long as i remember**
BRVT • 05/12/23 02:30 PM ET
That's one of the reasons I quit playing
Happy Dog • 05/12/23 02:27 PM ET
Used to do that years ago. Had the 1st tee time every Saturday all summer.

Dad's first rule......

My issue is that when you aren't good, being fast is a lot harder
Tafkam Hokie • 05/12/23 01:30 PM ET
Quitting golf was so satisfying to me I did it twice. Last time in 1984.
PhotoHokieNC • 05/12/23 04:17 PM ET
I gave it up around Y2K. Primarily because I had a bad disk in my neck
Tafkam Hokie • 05/12/23 04:32 PM ET
Played a lot as a youngster, a bit as a young adult, none as a Dad
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 07:00 PM ET
Playing as a dad......
2hhoop3 • 05/12/23 07:51 PM ET
Last year I started beating my Dad, big deal when I had to give him strokes

BG Hokie • 05/12/23 02:42 PM ET
Pretty common for me to either lose it in the sun, or the ball
Tafkam Hokie • 05/12/23 03:01 PM ET
Must be nice to be a pro and have spotters flag your ball for you each shot**
MP4VT2004 • 05/12/23 03:40 PM ET
I'd settle for a GPS transmitter and an app for my phone
Tafkam Hokie • 05/12/23 04:02 PM ET
we have a hole that you can barely see the ball land
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 04:10 PM ET
1-2 minutes? That’s a long time once you find your ball.
GreenvilleVT • 05/12/23 02:17 PM ET
I get it......
2hhoop3 • 05/12/23 01:43 PM ET
"Here ya go it's back here" yelling from 50 yds behind where he's looking**
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 03:19 PM ET
Ain't it the truth!.....
2hhoop3 • 05/12/23 03:48 PM ET
That's what the leaf rule is for
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 03:53 PM ET
best zinger I heard last year on the course....
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 12:56 PM ET

We have a guy at our club who is bad and painfully slow
GreenvilleVT • 05/12/23 01:36 PM ET
The situation you relay......
2hhoop3 • 05/12/23 01:33 PM ET
I'm in Smithfield, play at Cypress Creek
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 12:44 PM ET
Cool...I live nearby and am playing in a tourney there on next Friday**
DoYouLiftHokies • 05/12/23 04:02 PM ET
I'm playing in that too. I play golf with Mike a lot**
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 04:08 PM ET
Everything I own is VT logo'd...say hi.**
DoYouLiftHokies • 05/13/23 08:48 PM ET
Damn good rule. **
HokieJay • 05/12/23 12:14 PM ET
What is a “net 68” compared to just shooting a 68?**
vthokieq • 05/12/23 12:09 PM ET
Adjusted for handicap**
HokieJay • 05/12/23 12:16 PM ET
So if he has a 25 handicap...he really shot a 93?
vthokieq • 05/12/23 12:19 PM ET
I'm a 17 handicap, and I shot an 85
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 12:42 PM ET
Yep......
2hhoop3 • 05/12/23 12:25 PM ET
Congrats. One question, what is a "net" 68?
EDGEMAN • 05/12/23 12:08 PM ET
no, deducted 17 strokes for the suck :)**
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 12:46 PM ET
Question is, where was the round?**
VToncologyNurse • 05/12/23 12:05 PM ET
…mix in some baba booey’s
chumley • 05/12/23 11:58 AM ET
you'd get your a$$ kicked for saying that**
