You could probably play 5000 a year and get your hole in one in less than 3 years. If I wasn't such a hacker I might do it.Doc wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 1:17 am Hey, Dave, I really appreciate you rooting for me to get a hole-in-one but I have a better chance of becoming the queen of England. Every time I tee up a ball on a Par 3 hole, I have a one in 12,500 chance (those are the odds for a typical amateur). Even a math nitwit like me knows it ain’t happenin’.

Re: Merry Christmas
I hope everyone had a good Christmas. Kind of waiting for some Pirates player activity, but this week between Christmas and New Year’s always seems slow. Maybe they will make some move prior to PirateFest on January 6th.

If you become the Queen of England, no way am I letting you play from the ladies tees.Doc wrote: ↑Wed Dec 27, 2023 1:17 am Hey, Dave, I really appreciate you rooting for me to get a hole-in-one but I have a better chance of becoming the queen of England.
