CPC Golf

Hmm, best ball explanation fail...
Best Ball is taking the best score on a hole as the score for your team.
What was described in the video was a scramble(or best shot).
Further team play descriptions here:

It was a best ball scramble, Matt just omitted the word scramble. He still perfectly explained what we were doing, which was the key.

 

[Graham_LRR]

Everyone was telling me to move further BACK from the ball because I kept whiffing on the far side of it... now I wasn't standing close enough...

Damn, golf, you confusin'!

Agreed about the explanation being key. Even when playing these formats frequently, we'll usually make sure we're all talking about the same one.

I think you were the only one.

Looked fun guys. And it's clear you're coming from a place where it's not so sunny all the time. You white nerds. The Hotel stinger was a good one.

Your stance was strange so its hard to say "you need to fix this one thing" Clubs, stance, swing, grip, ball placement...

If I had to break it down, I would say, you need to have more fun next time

I have a question for Steve. Why you so awesome Steve? Why?

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

I can play mini golf pretty good, its mostly simply geometry. But full sized golf, I didn't understand half, well all, of the terms used in the video.

 

[Hitchmeister]

Despite how awesome that day looked, I will still not play golf or see it as an entertaining observing sport

Golf is awesome. It's the outdoorsiest of the four great sports: golf, bowling, billiards, and darts. Those are the four great sports because they can, and are expected, to be participated in while drinking beer. Sure, you may name other sports, but it's pretty much frowned on to actually drink while playing those.

 

[Voulan]

Well, I bet I could beat you to the bottom of mini golf, easily! You all looked professional to me - though that may be because of the uniform, and the fact that I know next to nothing about golf. But it still counts.

So who were those folks that got last place?
Also, had to laugh once I realized what James was up to at the end there. Such a shame that there wasn't an exorbitantly priced bottle of water.

Golf?
Pfff...
Paintball is the sport of the real men
(or strikeball if you can find few more masochists )

 

[necromanzer52]

Why is there a men's tee, and a women's tee? Surely if there's any sport where the physical differences between men and women doesn't matter, it's fucking golf.

There's not much difference in short holes (which are about accuracy more than sheer power), but in the longer ones there is a difference.

Generally, men can hit the ball further than women can. Hence women's tees. Without them, you'd have a situation where men would be expected to hit a par 4 and women a par 5 (for example).

I was going to say that Kathleen looked really awkward when hitting the ball, and then I saw Graham.... Time to invest in some time golfing, the more famous you guys get the more of these types of events you'll be going to!

Great job guys and glad you were able to get some R&R (Graham you looked like you were about to die a couple of Feed Dump episodes ago)

The Young Lady that Kathleen was talking to was Erica she was hired on at PA to be the new artist for "none comic stuff" in http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/new-hire-part-1, and http://penny-arcade.com/patv/episode/new-hire-part-2

She got married in season three of PATV.
