Playing the first round with Barry Schultz was a real treat! He shot a 64 which included a stupid 4 on hole 3 and a snowman on the par-5 hole 12 (most eagled hole on the course).

Yesterday was an interesting round for me. A triple OB 9 on hole 3 (par 3), a quadruple OB 11 on hole 9 (par 4) and a score of 21 on the tricky hole 17 (par 3)! On hole 17, you have to land inside the island green. A disc which lands in bounds, but then skips OB into the lake must retee. I kept trying to "tin cup" the green with no success. #1 short....#2 short...#3 long....#4 short...#5 long....#6 long....#7 long...#8 long...#9 pitch out to area in front of tee (which almost went OB)...#10 long...# 11 landed on the green (finally!)...#12 hit the putt and score a 21, baby! That's 9 OB's on one hole, folks!

After my 7th or 8th attempt, I turned to look at the players on my card and the gallery behind them....and you should have seen the looks on their faces! It was painful to watch, I know.....

The bonus is a dude in the gallery filmed that whole debacle on video.....he said he would mail me a dvd so I can relive the moment over and over again!

WOW! I knew something bad had to happen to you after i saw your score. But look at the bright side of things, now you can watch all the top cards because you'll be the first one done with your round. :D

Sorry about your round, but that has to be one of the funniest posts I have ever read in my 7 years on the PDGA message board.

BTW, awesome bonus!! Please post the clip on youtube so the rest of us can get that painful-to-watch feeling too!

Jerry, you shoulda put on the headphones and listened to some Tom Sawyer action there. It sounds like your having alot of fun though.

Jerry,

Kepp your head together. You have what it takes to recover from 1 hole. 21 strokes is not alot (THATS LIKE 3 7'S IN A ROW)!!!! Atleast you will always be talked about, who ever witnessed that will always tell that story gaurunteed.

Your like the Viper of the USDGC

I had a 26 stroke improvement over Thursday's round (19 stroke differential on hole 17 alone...), yet I only moved up one spot in the field! I guess it was that 30-over-par round of 98 that did it...

Players party at the hotel last night was lots of fun! The clutch putting contest was awesome, but not as much fun as the "flip-cup" competition rounds. At first, it was men vs. women.....then it became mixed gender teams. The game became really interesting when the format changed to the Americans vs the Internationals! Swedes, Fins and Canucks are dangerous when they get together! Human table bowling followed shortly thereafter... :D

check out this DGTV video......John Gregory's play on hole 17 was better than mine!

Good Luck Buddy...You'll need it!!! :D

after I watched that Lead Card Live video from '06 last night to get pumped for the "DOTS" I realized why peeps that are better than good at disc golf are elated when they break 80. ropes. WOW.

good luck Jerry.

Looks like Gooch had a bad hole early on.

4's a toughy...... there is that tiny opening from the tee to the fairway landing area. Then there is that monster OB area you have to throw over to the green area protected by evergreens n'at and more OB. Goocher musta went OB a few times, SURPRISE SURPRISE!... at least its not a 21! :o

That's actually Jerry's best round ever at the USDGC by three strokes, so I would say that's great!

Oct 01 2008, 03:08 PM
Hell yeah!!! Now hopefully he doesn't put together a second round like he did at the hunt.

But I like his game right now. He's putting good, and nobody throws a coyote better. Keep it between the lines Jerry. The Buncr rule.....I think should be dubbed the Gotcher rule.

Jerry's scores so far that the USDGC are, last year...83 - 98 - 72 and this year so far... 69 - 80. Average score for Goocher is 80.4.

Who thinks Jerry will shoot under his average today? I'm saying Yes, my guess is a 71 today.

DO WORK SON!!!

I hope he just get's it back under 70 today.

what about the 55's outta Doss and Avery?!? SICK!!! those are new course records.

and Jerry is gonna break 75. 71 would be hot.

Goocher shoots a 79. misses the cut and probably still having the time of his life.

At least he beat his last year's score...which wasn't that hard since he didn't take a 17 on one hole.
