The Game Room

1. I was at a bar so no sound. But from the graphics shown I guess they were playing “who wins each hole” instead of overall score. At one hole, maybe the last one, Kim hits a putt that misses. The other player walks over and uses his putter to toss Kim’s ball to him. Was this because Kim missed and that meant he lost the hole and so no need for another putt?

2. At one green there was a yellow line spray painted outside the perimeter about 5 feet from the edge of the green. There was a water hazard but other greens had water but no yellow lines.

3. This is something I have seen numerous times. A slow putt approaches the cup then about an inch away it veers off and follows the edge of the cup. To me it looks like the greenskeeper did not press down the turf around the cup when it was placed. I’d be pissed if that was the case.

4. There are bleachers around the course but on at least one hole there is a large two story “party tent”. It has a roof and fabric sides and a stairway. It looks like the people inside have regular chairs and maybe tables. Who gets to sit there? Do you have to be rich or just connected. Do they have a lottery for the seats? I want in.
