This guy will probably spend the rest of his life trying to recapture this elusive and sublime glory:

I doubt that shooting 18 for a round of golf is achievable, so I just continue to chase the dream... that North Korean dude does it all the time, but for the life of me I know I'm not that talented :bow:

Suppose if I ever shoot in the 60's I'll put the clubs away, don't think I can top that... 74 is closest I've ever come, long way from 69 :glug:

nah, cause once you shoot 69, you'll just want to beat it

Don't think I have a chance of breaking 70 from the tips anymore... had too many injuries and surgeries. Didn't play at all last year, and only a couple of times the year before - I know I've lost distance, just a matter of how much.

I'm sure I can still play the tips, but probably won't be able to reach par 5's in 2 anymore - so that cuts my chances down a lot.

Plan on playing more this year though :)

Hit 'em straight!!

There's a little blue pill for that now.

It really is a high point. One can only imagine how life following that will seem like such a let down.

I've heard this broken down into math, assuming the kids are all 2-3 years apart.

1 kid is like 1 kid
2 kids is like having at least 3
3 kids is like having 5

2 kids is like having at least 3
3 kids is like having 5

so 2=5?

Something like that. I was never good at figuring out exponential growth.

Reaching goals at a young age.......

Kick the extra point and
Play defence until the next
Goal shows up.

Think the best
Expect the worst.

In our case, 2 is more like 4... our daughter is a dream child, well behaved, cute, polite; so she = 1. Our son, the demon spawn, he = 3. We've requested round the clock prayers for a girl :)

If it's another boy, our numbers will jump to 7, and that will be the death of me for sure, lol...
