Played 18 in 2 hours, 2 mins today...with a pair of 75 year olds

And I shot a net 68. They play at 7:04 pretty much every morning (1 of them played almost 300 rounds last year). Most amazing was that it was never rushed and lots of conversation throughout. Just shows that golf does not need to take 5 hours to play, play ready - golf and quit spending 5 mins lining up shots you're gonna mis-hit anyway. (it's OK to suck, it's not OK to take forever to do it).

I used to play Westfields in Clifton after work on Wednesdays years ago,

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.

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
Vienna_Hokie • 05/12/23 08:00 PM ET
I relayed earlier.....

Finding balls is a skill of it's own. I've lost a number of decently hit
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

HokieDan95 • 05/12/23 01:46 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**
