Plenty of times, and I don't even care, beer is consumed regardless.

Whiffing is nothing. I was tee'd up on a par 4. Swung hard and hit nothing but ground. Caught so much ground that my club stopped about 6" from the ball. Driver was buried 2/3 lines deep. Having to back up and clean off the driver, and repair the divet BEFORE you even drive.......That's embarrassing.

Not only have I whiffed, but I recently hit my T-shot and swung so hard that I did a backward somersault. I thought myself and golfing partners were going to piss our pants we were laughing so hard, after we realized my old arse wasn't hurt.

I whiff every time I play. Apparently, I'm not that good at golf, but I'm pretty good at drinking on the golf course. Funny how that works.

Yes I've whiffed. I've actually hit one backwards before as well.

CSB: A few Mrs. P's ago, there was one who was always bitching about me getting too inebriated. So she over heard a golf buddy talking about how I whiffed on a stroke and brought it up during one of her "come to Jesus" talks. I slurred back to her "You have no fricking clue how hard it is to hit a golf ball." It actually lasted like nine months after that if I remember correctly.

Sorry for the cool story.

I started playing around 8 years ago, and can't recall whiffing a ball off the tee. I'm sure i did when i first started, but i can't recall doing it lately.

But then i got a new driver a month ago, went play a round, and whiffed twice. Pretty embarrassing. Terrible day of golf and i returned the driver, Jetspeed. It just never felt right.

I'm pretty good at golf and I have whiffed plenty of times when I was a beginner (and small child).

We all start somewhere.

I played in a BREC league when I was in 8th grade and we usually had 3 or 4 tourneys during the summer. I was playing in one at Webb and was in one of the first groups to tee off. I had about 30 people watching me when I whiffed. I couldn't wait to get off that tee box. I ended up getting 2nd in my flight so I guess I redeemed myself.

Do you one better. Wife & I been dating about a year. Guys are playing & the girls driving the carts. Group of 8. Take my wedge & stick the green. I'm playing pretty well. Maybe even a lil cocky. Sank the 10-12 ft putt. Buddy's sink their putts & we are walking back to the carts. I'm talking smack, so all eyes on me. Pick up my wedge and attempted to chip the ball towards my golf cart. Well, I bladed the shite out of it & smoked my wife in the leg. It's been a tough cross to carry.
