anyone else hitting the links this week? i've got two lined up Mt. Pleasant in B'more, and University of Illinois Orange Course. Hoping to get 20 rounds in this year, already at 5.

I typically play 75-85 rounds a year and my next round will be #20 and thanks to the mild winter all have been played in
NY/NJ.

damn that's a legit season of golf...i thought i was lucky getting away with 20! well good luck on the links everyone.

Rhein Gibson shot the lowest known 18-hole score in the history of golf Saturday when he blazed his way to a 16-under-par 55 at River Oaks Country Club in Edmond.

River Oaks is a par 71 which measures 6,698 yards from the tips and was playing close to that, according to owner Andy McCormick.

Gibson made 12 birdies and two eagles along with four pars. Thanks to texting and twitter, some 30 folks had gathered to watch by the final hole, where he rolled in a 5-foot birdie putt for the 55.

Yeah, man. Been out pretty much every weekend since early March, missed a weekend here and there for travelling. Said this was the year I get going again and it seems like it is this time. Getting a lot more consistent, which is awesome. I just need to figure it out off the tee. If I can do that, I will put up some decent numbers.

DUBLIN, Ohio — Phil Mickelson has withdrawn from the Memorial because of mental fatigue.

Mickelson opened with a 79, his worst score in his 12 appearances at Muirfield Village. He says a trip to Europe to celebrate his wife’s 40th birthday, and then returning home for a corporate outing and the pro-am took a lot out of him. With the U.S. Open in two weeks, Mickelson says he’s thinking “big picture” by going home to rest for a few days.

The four-time major champion believes it’s a responsibility for a player to finish a tournament. He says he’s overruling himself in this case.

It’s the first time Mickelson has withdrawn without physical injury. The last time he left a tournament early was at the Memorial four years ago because of a wrist injury.

I sucked on my road trip a 112 at the U of I orange course...started really well then fell apart when i realized the flat midwest terrain was lengthened and almost impossible to land a green because they just dumped a big hill of dirt for greens just cuz, and couer d'alene in Idado was super easy but I was mentally broken and dropped a 108. Parred the floating green though so at least I have that going for me.
