Good question. From a play perspective, I'd guess I'm probably closest to Noonan. There is absolutely NO DOUBT I'd be playing with Al though.

One of the greatest honors for me was to be informally voted 'Most like Ty' in our clubs 'Caddyshack pick um contest'. Unfortunately, that was three years ago when I was younger, thinner, and the economy didn't suck. Now, I would have to say I would place myself more in the Carl category......and I would still want to play golf with Al....
Lightweight!!! :wink:
Actually, based on my younger days of playing golf and doing the exact same thing, this probably means you are a pretty good golfer. A bad golfer (such as myself) uses more swings and spends more time on each hole. A good golfer uses less swings and spends less time on each hole.
The only time I've ever really tried to do this was on a 9 hole course. I made it, but I had to play very slowly, which is easy when you suck at golf as much as I do.
I have started playing more so I follow the rules. I think if you only get to play a few times a year you should play to enjoy it however. Mulligans, one for every nine, and some improvement of lie. No sense in trying to play an unplayable lie.
I agree with this, if you only play a few times a year, you expect to only play a few times a year forever...and you aren't very competitive (half joke).
If you want to get better at the game, Ken Schall told me once a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away), you can only improve your game if you play the ball as it lies (from a divot, buried in long rough, from under low hanging branches, etc). If you play like this, one day you're going to be playing with a stranger, boss, etc. and be in a position to pull that shot off. If you can, a good impression can be made.
One thing I forgot as far as "my rules"...don't practice on the golf course. That's why we have ranges.
We had a special tournament called the Cheap Beer Invitational.
Rules:
1. BYOB....but must be below $4 a case (in 1990) so probably $7-$8 now. (Think Olympia, Miester Brau, etc)
2. For every beer you drink you deduct two strokes from your score.
3. If you can start and finish one beer per hole for all 18 holes you lose a bonus 5 strokes.
4. Player is DQ'd if vomits or passes out on the course or can't leave it under their own power.
5. Low net score wins.
Two ways to win, really.
a. Be a good player, shoot 75, drink 5 beers and net out at 65.
b. Shoot 102, drink 19 beers, subtract additional 5 bonus points and net out a 59.
Not sure it's been done the first way, but I've witnessed the second way. Wasn't pretty but he got it done.
