  14. MUST convince myself that no matter how much I spend here, I'm actually saving by not driving to the course

   

  If it would stop raining , I'd be on the course.  But this will do fine for now.

  Joeyola:

  Joey's personal list of the top 10 things I MUST accomplish in order to qualify for the US Open.  (So you know, I'm still working on number 2) 
  

  1. MUST attain Legend status in order use the best balls
  2. MUST Level up in order to have the best equipment
  3. MUST have talent
  4. MUST have good hand eye coordination and reflexes
  5. MUST have a good understanding of this game
  6. MUST have a competitive edge or nature
  7. MUST have good instincts
  8. MUST have a working knowledge of computer systems
  9. MUST have the ability or willingness to spend whatever it takes  
  10. MUST waste a lot of time around here...in other words, the desire to play until my fingers bleed...to the point of needing therapy in order to get on with life.

  1) I got my 58 with standard Callaways (not legend) prefer extra durability, but legend status might help a bit because you are used to black tees any way,(but only on the old courses because Congress C C should be equal, as its new and every one has played it from same time scale)

  8) Why would i need knowledge of computer systems? Are you making out people are hacking their cpu to get perfect meter, or what ever? 

  10) I only play maybe 2/3 rounds a day. (but i did re-start open qualifier a few times until i was -2 by the 4th.)

  It is "my personal list" but here goes...

  Congrats on that nice 58 by the way...but as a Legend, we have the choice of using any ball we like...non-Legends don't have that option.

  chrisironsbones:

  2)...Are you making out people are hacking their cpu to get perfect meter, or what ever? 

  I am only pointing out the advantage of having the resources needed to keep our computer system running smoothly...that alone, in my opinion, would solve most of the problems around here.

  10)...

  Just my little dig at how much time it takes to be competitive around here.

  And most of all, don't be aware of the cut line or where you are in relationship to it. Keep the blinders on, play one shot at a time and just let it happen...predict nothing.

  deffinately, play your best, and don't be aware of the others or the current cut line. You might try to force shots, and that never ends up good.  So just play your game.
